(Warren Zevon)
We left Constantinople in a thousand ninety-nine
To restore the one True Cross was in this heart of mine
To bring it to Jerusalem and then sail home to Rhodes
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
Everyone got famous, everyone got rich
Everyone went off the rails and ended in the ditch
But we had to take that long, hard road to see where it would go
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
We took that holy ride ourselves to know
Now if you make a pilgrimage I hope you find your grail
Be loyal to the ones you leave with even if you fail
Be chivalrous to strangers you meet along the road
As you take that holy ride yourselves to know
You take that holy ride yourselves to know
The lyrics OURSELVES TO KNOW of WARREN ZEVON is also present in the album Life'll kill ya (2000)
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.
