«Baker Street». Gerry Rafferty. Vídeo, letra e información.

Escocés. Piano, guitarra y voz. De músico callejero a Reservoir Dogs pasando por Baker Street. Es Gerry Rafferty.

La de Rafferty fue una vida -que duró poco más de 60 años- dedicada a la música, más desde su primer disco en el 72 al último, un recopilatorio den 2006. Comenzó tocando en la calle y formó parte de un par de grupos para quedarse al fin solo con su piano, su guitarra y su voz.

De entre sus 34 años de músicas publicadas nos quedamos con su canción de cabecera, a la que permanecerá asociado por siempre jamás: Baker Street.

winding your way down on baker street
lite in your head, and dead on your feet
well another crazy day, you drink the night away
and forget about everything
this city desert makes you feel so cold, its got
so many people but its got no soul
and its taken you so long to find out you were wrong
when you thought it held everything.

you used to think that it was so easy
you used to say that it was so easy
but you’re tryin, you’re tryin now
another year and then you’d be happy
just one more year and then you’d be happy
but you’re cryin’, you’re cryin now
way down the street there’s a light in his place
you open the door, he’s got that look on his face
and he asks you where you’ve been, you tell him who you’ve seen
and you talk about anything
he’s got this dream about buyin’ some land
he’s gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
and then he’ll settle down, it’s a quiet little town
and forget about everything
but you know he’ll always keep moving
you know he’s never gonna stop moving
cause he’s rollin, he’s the rolling stone
and when you wake up it’s a new morning
the sun is shining it’s a new morning
and you’re going, you’re going home
