"The Saxophone Song"


You'll find me in a Berlin bar,
In a corner brooding.
You know that I go very quiet
When I'm listening to you.

There's something very special indeed,
In all the places where I've seen you shine, boy.
There's something very real in how I feel, honey.

It's in me.
It's in me,
And you know it's for real.
Tuning in on your saxophone.
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

The canDLe burning over your shoulder is throwing
Shadows on your saxophone, a surly lady in tremor.
The stars that climb from her bowels,
Those stars make towers on vowels.

You'll never know that you had all of me.
You'll never know the poetry you've stirred in me.
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly,
I've never known or felt in myself so rightly,

It's in me.
It's in me,
And you know it's for real.
Tuning in on your saxophone.
Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo...

Good job.

I like the fact that you have started with Gillmore and Allen.

Are you into Sun Ra?

Ubiquity said:

I'm a big fan of Sun RA! He open a whole new musical universe to me. It's a shame that he'll never recieve the respect that he deserves in the Jazz world. His saxophone players were some of the most elegant and innovative to ever have blessed Jazz.

sinisterpentatonic said:

I recommend reading the Sun Ra biography "Space is the place". One of the most amazing books out there.

Ubiquity said:

I have it, just haven't read it yet.

you guys obviously don't know when you're in the presence of Royalty!

Be nice and give Maceo his props... the Funk wouldn't have been the same WITHOUT him.
