She stood beside my narrow bed
to check my E.K.G.
She shook her pretty little head
At what's become of me
I thought I glimpsed a path that led
Through rhododendron days
And fuchsia nights to the boatshed
In which we two once lay
But she gazed only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks
But she gazed only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks
I saw her on Killarney's shore
One morning in July
When I still thought I was a thorn
Trying to find a side
I met her in the little launch
That runs to Innisfallen
Hunched together, haunch to haunch
Trying to keep my balance
But she upset my applecart
She kissed me on the cheek
And I was struck by Cupid's dart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks
Macgillycuddy's Reeks
Macgillycuddy's Reeks
I was struck by Cupid's dart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks
She was a systems analyst
For a dot com company
She said, "You think because we've kissed
I'll be yours eternally
I'll sign another pre-nup
And we'll merge our P.L.C.s
That's why most girls go belly-up
In this economy
But when it comes to a jump start
Your forecast's pretty bleak
The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts
Like Macgillycuddy's Reeks
The NASDAQ goes by dips and starts
Like Macgillycuddy's Reeks
She looked only at my chart
The valleys and the peaks
Brought back the time she broke my heart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks
Macgillycuddy's Reeks
Macgillycuddy's Reeks
That was the time she broke my heart
In Macgillycuddy's Reeks

Warren Zevon (1947-2003) è stato un cantautore, chitarrista e pianista rock statunitense. Nato a Chicago, Illinois, Zevon ha trascorso la sua infanzia in California, dove ha iniziato a suonare musica all'età di 15 anni. Dopo aver lavorato come musicista di sessione per diversi artisti, tra cui Linda Ronstadt e The Everly Brothers, Zevon ha debuttato come solista nel 1976 con l'album "Warren Zevon". Conosciuto per il suo umorismo nero, le sue canzoni spesso esploravano temi oscuri e ironici, mescolando rock, folk e country. Alcuni dei suoi brani più famosi includono "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money" e "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di spicco, tra cui Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks e Jackson Browne. La sua musica è stata influenzata da diverse fonti, tra cui Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie e i Beatles. Zevon è stato diagnosticato con un cancro al pancreas nel 2002 e morì l'anno successivo all'età di 56 anni. Nonostante la sua breve carriera, Zevon ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica rock americana.

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.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
