I went down to Duffy's bar with depression on my mind
Just to blow off a little steam and try to unwind
Times were getting tough with no relief in sight
Last straw I lost my job, next straw your life
Knock on knockin' lost John
The Great Depression was going strong
Hard times comin' on
Long gone knockin' lost John
Born on the south side, got my schoolin' at the pool hall
Saturday night we get back to back, Sunday mornin', wall to wall
Never seen nothing like it, people jumpin' out of windows and going mad
That's not half as bad as losin' what you never had
CHORUS
Back in 1929 it was livin' hell
Crime was on the rise when the bottom fell
Keepin' poverty pocket high upon the hill
Back door you lock it, they'll break it still
The Band è stato un gruppo rock canadese-statunitense formatosi a Toronto nel 1967 e scioltosi nel 1976 per poi riformarsi nel 1983 fino al 1999. La formazione originale comprendeva Robbie Robertson (chitarra), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko e Levon Helm. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della musica rock americana, The Band ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '70 grazie a un sound folk-rock caratterizzato da arrangiamenti orchestrali complessi e testi poetici. Il loro album di debutto, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), è considerato un classico del genere e ha contribuito a definire il suono della musica americana degli anni '70. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di The Band ricordiamo "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" e "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". La band ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Bob Dylan, con cui hanno suonato in tour negli anni '60 e '70. La morte di Richard Manuel nel 1980 e di Levon Helm nel 2012 hanno segnato la fine di un'epoca per The Band.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
