MuziekVitamine

Op dinsdag gaan we terug naar de tijd van de oude, grijze en schrale popmuziek.

In de clip van Go like Elijah zien we Chi Coltrane met wapperende blonde haren achter een mooi zwarte piano.
Go like Elijah staat in Nederland twee weken op nummer 1(1973). Het betreffende album ‘Chi Coltrane’ is een echte wereldwijde topper. De nieuwere versie van dit album is hier te koop.

Songtekst:

Someday my time to die will come.
When that will be, I do not know
I only know that when I have to go.

Yeah, when I go— I wanna go
Just let me go— Oh, when I go
I wanna go— Lord, let me go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go

I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go — I wanna go
When my time comes for me to go
I wanna go like Elijah when I go

I don’t want no tombstone above my head
And I don’t want no pinebox for my bed
And I don’t want anyone to say I’m dead.

Lord, when I go— I wanna go
Just let me go— Oh, when I go
I wanna go— Lord, let me go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go

I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go — I wanna go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go

I don’t want no one cryin’
Or feelin’ sad
Or standin’ in the rain without their hat
I wanna go up happy — Imagine that
Yeah, when I go— just let me go
I wanna go – when I go,
Just me go-Yeah, when I go
I wanna go like Elijah when I go

I want to rise right up into the sky
And ride white horses with fiery eyes
Lord for my sins I apologize
Just let me go— I wanna go
When my time comes for me to go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go…
I wanna go like Elijah when I go
Just let me go like Elijah when I go…
