Testimony


Look over yonder, Apollo at a distance
You can hear his music if you listen to the wind (blow)
I want to be there - I want to be right there
Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I've held the broken dream
In my soul, I'm howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
I had a revelation like runaway horses
Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)
Those golden days on Smokey Mountain
Playing guitar in a one man band
Bear witness, I'm howling at the moon
Come bear witness, I've danced among the ruins
In these shoes, I've walked a crooked mile
All my life I been searching for the nightbird
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You got nothing to lose - but your chains
For forty days and forty nights
I come across the desert
Apollo right by mide side (rave on)
Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I've held the broken dream
In my soul, I'm howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify

La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '60, collaborando con artisti come Bob Dylan e Ronnie Hawkins. Nel 1968, insieme a Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson e Richard Manuel, ha formato The Band, gruppo che ha raggiunto il successo mondiale con album come *Music from Big Pink* (1968) e *The Band* (1969). Robertson si è distinto per le sue linee di chitarra evocative e i testi poetici, spesso ispirati alla sua esperienza canadese e americana. ?? Dopo lo scioglimento del gruppo nel 1976, Robertson ha intrapreso una carriera da solista, pubblicando album come *Robbie Robertson* (1987) e *Storyville* (1991). Ha anche composto colonne sonore per film di successo come *Raging Bull* (1980) e *The Color of Money* (1986), dimostrando la sua versatilità artistica. Nel 2018, Robertson ha pubblicato il suo ultimo album in studio, *Sinematic*, un lavoro che ripercorre le sue influenze musicali e cinematografiche.
