Álbum Love Lifted Me de Kenny Rogers - Canciones
Love Lifted Me
Reseña
El álbum que marca el debut en solitario en la discografía de Kenny Rogers, "Love Lifted Me", es un trabajo de transición que lo muestra buscando su propia voz tras la disolución de su exitosa banda, The First Edition. Publicado en 1976, este disco presenta a un artista que se aleja del rock psicodélico y el folk de su etapa anterior para abrazar un sonido country con fuertes influencias del góspel y el soul. Por lo tanto, es el primer paso en el camino que lo convertiría en una superestrella.
En primer lugar, el álbum está impregnado de una temática espiritual y optimista, como sugiere la canción que le da título, "Love Lifted Me", un himno góspel clásico. De hecho, gran parte del repertorio tiene un aire de redención y de búsqueda de la fe, tanto en el amor divino como en el terrenal. Por consiguiente, el disco transmite una sensación de calidez y sinceridad.
Además, en este trabajo ya se puede apreciar la increíble habilidad de Kenny Rogers como narrador. Así pues, canciones como "Runaway Girl" o "The World's Gone Crazy (Cotillion)" son pequeñas historias musicadas, un talento que se convertiría en su mayor seña de identidad. Mientras tanto, su voz rasgada y llena de emoción ya se muestra como un vehículo perfecto para transmitir sentimiento y verdad.
Aunque no fue un gran éxito comercial, "Love Lifted Me" es una pieza fundamental para entender los cimientos de su carrera. En definitiva, es un álbum honesto y lleno de alma, la obra de un artista que, tras una exitosa carrera en grupo, decidía empezar de nuevo y lo hacía con el corazón en la mano.

[X]letra de Love Lifted Me
I'll write myself a simple song
Get the whole world to sing along
I'll call it a love song for you
And who knows
I'm liable to take a song from the Bible
And then when I'm through, I'll just sing
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know love lifted me
Everybody's looking for a way
To say something nobody said
But that's hard to do
They're searching their mind
Trying to find the one of a kind way
That they could say something new and I just say
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When I was down and out
You know love lifted me
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know love lifted me
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know love lifted me
Love lifted me, love lifted me
When I was down and out
You know love lifted me
Everybody sing love lifted me
Oh, love lifted me - Medley:Abraham, Martin And John Precious Memories 4:13
Composición: Dick Holler - I Would Like To See You AgainVer letra 3:06
[X]letra de I Would Like To See You Again
I was sitting here thinking about some old times
Some old times, some old friends
Suddenly it came across my mind
That I would like to see you again.
Remember how we used to walk and talk
Walk and talk holding hands
we said we loved each other I recall
We made a lot of future plans.
But the years have come and gone
And a whole lot has happened since then
But tonight your memory's awful strong on my mind
And I would like to see you again.
It's funny how an old flame comes down
Come on back, make you blue
But I saw the picture of a railroad track
An old shot of me and you.
I guess I'd better straighten up my mind
Straighten it up and go to bed
I pray that I don't dream about old times
Some old times, gone and dead
But years have come and goneComposición: Charlie Craig (2), Larry Atwood - Runaway GirlVer letra 2:44
[X]letra de Runaway Girl
You always were a dreamer with your eyes on the horizon
Wondering what laid beyond as far as you could see
You left to find a castle, a knight in shining armor
Or maybe just to spread your wings and feel that you are free.
Runaway girl, there's someone here who loves you
And understands you, you're not alone
Runaway girl, I won't stop until I found you
And put my arms around you and take you home.
You longed to fame and fortune, you were looking for a rainbow
Knowing someone down the line has found your heart of gold
Castles sometimes crumble and too often dreams were shattered
Then you'll be left with nothing but a tortured mind and soul
Runaway girl...Composición: George Richey, Larry Butler - The World Needs A Melody 3:27
Composición: Johnny Slate, Larry Henley, Red Lane - You Gotta Be TiredVer letra 2:52
[X]letra de You Gotta Be Tired
As a child, mama told me all about You
And all the things You've done
I wondered all these years how You kept goin'
And had the strength to carry on
She said You'd always be beside me
To help me up if I should fall
If I get lost You'll always find me
And all I have to do is call
When Moses cried for help to free his people
You opened up the mighty sea
When David said, 'He sure looks big, Lord!', You said,
'Here's a stone and you've got Me!'
And when Daniel said, 'The lions are gonna get me Lord!' You said,
'Get down, get down on your knees.'
And in six short days You made the world we live in,
And still You find the time for me.
Oh, You stayed up forty days and forty nights
Makin' all that rain
And when You see us messin' up this world You love so much
That's gotta bring pain
If I was big enough, and strong enough to help you, Lord, I would
But I can't
You gotta be tired, Lord
You gotta be tiredComposición: Ed Bruce, Larry Butler - Home-Made LoveVer letra 2:26
[X]letra de Home-Made Love
Homemade love just like mama used to make
Homemade love that's what she used to say
You can satisfy frustration and the same old one night stand
But there ain't nothing quite as good as homemade love
Homemade love all the cold and lonely nights
Feel so good when your woman makes it right
And she knows just how to please in each and every way
There ain't nothing quite as good as homemade love
Homemade love love home ain't nothing without love her sweet love
And you know it won't be over she'll be there every day
Homemade love take it with you when you go
Homemade love let everybody know
That your woman ain't to please as she's headed straight for you
There ain't nothing quite as good as homemade love
Homemade love love home ain't nothing...Composición: Richard Mainegra - While The Feeling´s Good 4:01
Composición: Roger Bowling - Heavenly SunshineVer letra 2:44
[X]letra de Heavenly Sunshine
I've searched for words of sweet description to best describe
The thrill it gives me just to have you by my side
But I can't find one single word that properly defines
How sweet it is just knowing that all your love is mine.
Your love is heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine
You fill my heart with your sweet love so divine
Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine
You make me happy 'cos your love is mine.
The colors in a rainbow are a lovely sight to see
But even rainbows lose their glow when you smile at me
And when you kiss me I can hear a thousand bluebirds sing
no matter how the sounds of words could only mean one thing.
Your love is ...Composición: George Richey, Glenn Sutton - There´s An Old Man In Our Town 3:40
