Pieces of lyrics that have touched my heart during my life.
Title: SHADES
Artist: IGGY POP
Album: BLAH-BLAH-BLAH
Year: 1986
Style: ROCK / POP-ROCK
Back to rock! Iggy, the rock icon made a detour to pop-rock with the album Blah-Blah-Blah. Even though some long-term fans resented this album and were not happy with it I did like it and I still do. If you ask me, the song Shades is one of the most romantic pop-rock songs ever!
BTW: Interesting information is also that David Bowie was producer and mixer for album Blah-Blah-Blah.
Here is part of the lyrics that really touches my heart:
You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades
...
This verse wins:
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And, yes, I've been on Iggy's concerts too. Not only once but twice... so far 😉 (oh, I am so grateful to myself that I went on these two and all other concerts... among my best investments ever!):
1991 & 1993:
