Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams
Smiling ain't so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothing's simple as it seems
But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
That you're dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons
Ain't you come a long way (Ain't you come a long way)
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road
Looking at a looking glass
Running out of time
On a face you used to know
Traces of a future lost
In between the lines
One more rainbow for the road
Thinking of the faces in the windows
That you passed along the way
Or the last thing you believed in
Ain't you come long way (Ain't you come a long way)
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road
**
Say you tried to chase the sun down
And you let it slip away
And the holy night is falling
Ain't you come long way (Ain't you come a long way)
Ain't you come a long way down
This old road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
The lyrics THIS OLD ROAD of KRIS KRISTOFFERSON is also present in the album This old road (2006)
Kris Kristofferson (nato Christopher Kristofferson il 22 giugno 1936) è un cantautore, musicista e attore statunitense di origine svedese. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica country americana, ha influenzato generazioni di artisti con le sue canzoni introspettive e poetiche che esplorano temi come la vita rurale, l'amore, la perdita e la lotta sociale. Dopo una carriera militare e un breve periodo di studio alla Oxford University, Kristofferson si trasferì a Nashville nel 1966 per dedicarsi alla musica. Inizialmente lavorò come scrittore per altri artisti prima di emergere con il suo album d'esordio "Kristofferson" (1970). Il suo successo arrivò con brani come "Me and Bobby McGee", interpretato da Janis Joplin, e "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", diventato un classico del country. Kristofferson ha collaborato con artisti di fama mondiale come Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings e Willie Nelson, contribuendo a definire il movimento outlaw country degli anni '70. Oltre alla musica, ha recitato in numerosi film, tra cui "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (1973) e "Blade Runner" (1982). Nel corso della sua carriera, Kristofferson ha vinto numerosi premi, tra cui il Grammy Award per la migliore canzone country nel 1970. Le sue canzoni continuano ad essere amate e interpretate da artisti di diverse generazioni.

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
