When I get older, losing my hair
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine,
birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three,
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty four? Ooh

You'll be older too.
Ah, and if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside,
Sunday mornings, go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty four?

Ev'ry summer we can rent a cottage
In the Isle of Wight if it's not too dear.
We shall scrimp and save.
Grandchildren on your knee;
Vera, Chuck and Dave.

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say,
yours sincerely, wasting away.

Give me your answer, fill in a form,
Mine forevermore.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty four? Ho!

Έγινες 64 ρε θηρίο;

ΝΑΙ

ζητω τα περηφανα γηρατια

Μου ξύπνησες θύμησες...

From the Beginning - ELP 1972

Οι Emerson, Lake & Palmer (ELP) ήσαν Άγγλοι, ιδρύθηκαν το 1970 και υπηρέτησαν αυτό που ονομάστηκε προοδευτικό ροκ (τον σιχαίνομαι αυτό τον τίτλο, είναι λες και υπάρχει μη προοδευτικό ροκ). Το γκρουπ ουσιαστικά ήταν τρίο:
1. Ο Keith Emerson (Keyboards) που προέρχονταν από τους Nice
2. Ο Greg Lake (vocals, bass, guitars, producer) που προέρχονταν από τους περίφημους King Crimson και τον
3. Carl Palmer (drums, percussion) που προέρχονταν από τους Atomic Rooster

Το 1972 κυκλοφόρησαν το 3ο τους album με τίτλο: «Trilogy» που έφτασε στο No 2 στην Αγγλία και το Νο 5 στις ΗΠΑ.
Από το album αυτό η ακουστική μπαλάντα «From the beginning» κυκλοφόρησε στις ΗΠΑ σαν single και έφτασε μέχρι το Νο 39.



There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind
It don't mean I'm blind

Perhaps there's a thing or two
I think of, lying in bed
I shouldn't have said
But there it is

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning

Maybe I might've changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool

Whatever was done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all

You see it's all clear
You were meant to be here
From the beginning
