You asked me to a party
to a house just by the moon
You gave me silver loving
the end was all too soon
You asked me to the theatre
in a place quite near the sun
You gave me golden sunbeams
your act was all in fun
Rope ladder to the moon!
You asked me to a meeting
in a cottage in the snow
You gave me central heating
I can't forget the glow
You asked me to a weekend
down by the stormy sea
You took me to a ceremony
and the sacrifice - was me!
You asked me to a stormcloud
up near the rainbow's end
Then you threw away the ladder
and gave me to your friend
You took me to a prison
and you said it's chief was me
Then you locked me deep inside you
and threw away the key
Rope ladder to the moon
Jack Bruce (John Symon Asher Bruce; 1943-2014) è stato un musicista, compositore, cantante, bassista e polistrumentista britannico di fama internazionale. Noto per la sua tecnica virtuosistica al basso elettrico e per il suo potente timbro vocale, Bruce ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia del rock. La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '60 con diverse band blues prima di raggiungere l'apice della popolarità come membro dei Cream, supergruppo leggendario formato con Eric Clapton e Ginger Baker. Con i Cream, Bruce ha contribuito a definire il suono del rock psichedelico degli anni '60, pubblicando album iconici come "Disraeli Gears" (1967) e "Wheels of Fire" (1968). Dopo lo scioglimento dei Cream, Bruce ha intrapreso una carriera da solista di successo, collaborando con artisti come Ringo Starr e George Harrison. Ha anche composto colonne sonore per film e teatro. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo "Sunshine of Your Love", "White Room" e "Politician". La sua eredità musicale continua a ispirare generazioni di musicisti.
