Video: Marianne Faithfull — Sparrows Will Sing

Das erste Video von Marianne Faithfull´s neuen Album Give My Love To London ist der Roger Waters Song “Sparrows Will Sing”. Auf der Website des Guardian feierte der Videoclip gestern seine Premiere. Faithfull äußerte sich in einem Artikel über den Song und war in wenigen Sätzen voller Bewunderung für ihren alten Freund.

Marianne Faithfull: “It sets up the way I feel about everything, humanity, the world and love. Roger also writes with hope and that’s why I chose it; he has also a lot more hope than I do. Roger is definitely one the greatest writers that started in the 60s period; he is still writing, performing and creating. I admire him very, very much and actually I love him.”

Sparrows Will Sing

A child breaks the ice and peers into the hidden depths
And tries to decipher the whole of this unholy mess
I have no doubt he will figure it out some day
Callooh, Callooh Callay
Callooh, Callooh Callay

Then the sparrows will sing on the boulevards again
And the corridors of power will be walked by thoughtful men
The assassins and priests like mythical beasts will surely fade away
Callooh, Callooh Callay
Callooh, Callooh Callay

The new generation is eager to master the helm
They cannot be seduced by this candyfloss techno hell
They put over the helm and a fresh breeze fills the sails
Callooh, Callooh Callay
Callooh, Callooh Callay

A child breaks the ice and peers into the hidden depths
To try to untangle the whole of this unholy mess
Well I have no doubt they will figure it out one day
Callooh, Callooh Callay
Callooh, Callooh Callay
