My friend Manny would always say
"I only learn anything at the speed of pain"
How looking back, he had no regrets
No doubt they're still some hard lessons
But what I think he meant
Not till all is lost
Is there something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
Let the hard rain fall, let the cold winds blow
Somewhere between where I'm standing and where I wanna go
My best thinking is all I've ever known
Now I'm left here looking back
On that long and winding road
Where after all is lost
There's still something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
All the angels, all the saints
Cannot help you now
You think you know yourself
You think you know your truth
Till it breaks you down
But not till all is lost
Is there something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
When all the will power in the universe
Still won't get you through
As good a time as any
To find your version of God
Just as long as it ain't you
After all is lost
Is there something to be gained
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain?
From the lessons learned
At the speed of pain
The speed of pain
No, no
Speed of pain

The Doobie Brothers sono un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi a San Jose, in California, nel 1969. Il loro sound, inizialmente definibile come rock con influenze blues e country, ha poi abbracciato elementi di soft rock e pop negli anni '70. Il nome del gruppo deriva da un termine slang per indicare la marijuana. La formazione originale comprendeva Tom Johnston (chitarra, voce), John Hartman (batteria) e altri musicisti che si sono aggiunti nel corso degli anni. Tra i membri più noti figurano anche Patrick Simmons (chitarra, voce), Michael McDonald (tastiere, voce) e Keith Knudsen (batteria). I Doobie Brothers hanno raggiunto il successo internazionale con album come "Toulouse Street" (1972), "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1973) e "Takin' It to the Streets" (1976). I loro brani più famosi includono "Listen to the Music", "Black Water", "China Grove", "Long Train Runnin'", e "What a Fool Believes". La band ha vinto quattro Grammy Award e ha venduto oltre 48 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo.

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.
