| Jacques Brel- Amsterdam (English Subtitles) |
 |
From "T":
"One of Brel's undisputed masterpieces, it
was first perfomed at the Olympia in Paris in
1964 and received a three minute standing
ovation. It's Brel's vision of freedom , the
freedom of sailors to sing, dance, eat,
carouse, whore and take pride in virility,
the joy spoiled only by unfaithful women (who
probably have their own vision of freedom.)
In his own words (translated): "Amsterdam is
the symbol of the adventure which begins
tomorrow which men dream of. It's kind of a
song of virility, in truth." You may have
heard Mort Shuman, David Bowie, Dave Van Ronk
, Robert Cuccioli and countless others sing
the English adaptation by Shuman/Blau, but if
you haven't seen Brel present it in French,
you're missing the real thing. Here it is.
Thanks to Ema of Rennes, France for help with
this translation."

| David Bowie In The Port of Amsterdam |
 |
This is one of Bowie's songs that I really
love. It has got a true meaning.He sings it
with his own, special and unique way. I think
he has the most beautiful blue eyes, he is
very talented and a legendary glam rock
singer. Really glad to had the chance to hear
to his work and feel all the feelings that he
want to pass to his fans. I love his persona
Ziggy Stardust. Some people like him, some
others not. The reason is one: If you decide
to listen Bowie's songs you have to be able
to find the hidden, true meaning of the
lyrics and then take a trip to his world. It
is a strange world but that's the thing that
makes David being special and unique. David I
am a true fan, thanks for giving me a chance
to dream...
Original Song: Jacques Brel
