Álbum Stoney End de Barbra Streisand - Canciones
Stoney End
Reseña
El álbum Stoney End de 1971 representa la inmersión más decidida y exitosa de Barbra Streisand en el mundo del pop-rock contemporáneo. En este disco, la cantante vuelve a interpretar canciones de la nueva ola de cantautores, pero con un resultado mucho más convincente y personal que en sus intentos anteriores. De este modo, Streisand hace suyas composiciones de autoras como Laura Nyro, Joni Mitchell o Carole King, aplicando su increíble intensidad dramática a un sonido más rockero.
Además, la producción de Richard Perry es enérgica y directa, dotando a las canciones de una fuerza y una crudeza que sentaron cátedra. Por consiguiente, la canción que da título al disco, "Stoney End", se convirtió en un gran éxito y revitalizó su carrera en las listas de pop. Por esta razón, este álbum es una obra fundamental que demostró que la voz de Barbra Streisand podía ser también una de las grandes voces de la era del rock.

[X]letra de If You Could Read My Mind
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I am
A ghost that you can see
If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
That kind the drugstores sell
When you reach the part
Where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
The heroes often fail
And you won't red that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets spurned in a three-way script
Ends up number two
The movie queen to play the scene
And bringing all the good things out in me
But now for love, lets be real
I never thought I could feel this way
And I got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
Stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack
I've never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say
That I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it backComposición: Gordon Lightfoot - Just A Little Lovin' 2:28

[X]letra de Free the People
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Saw your light from the street
As I passed by the other day
I was scared, my knees were weak
Forgot what I had come to say
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
Saw a man walk on water
With everybody looking on
I didn't know I was his daughter
'Til both of us had come and gone
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
If you see me in the alley
Looking like I don't belong
You can put me in your greenest valley
I'll still be singing the same old song
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
