FALLING LIKE HELPLESS TEARS
La cantante inglesa Marianne Faithfull cumple hoy 71 años. Descubierta por Andrew Loog Oldham, el manager de The Rolling Stones, comenzó su carrera musical en 1964 y un año después se publicaron simultáneamente sus dos primeros álbumes. El titulado Marianne Faithfull, que contenía canciones folk, incluía su versión de What have they done to the rain, composición de la estadounidense Malvina Reynolds escrita como parte de una campaña para detener pruebas nucleares que producían lluvias radioactivas. Tras formar parte del primer álbum en vivo de Joan Baez (1962), fue grabada en 1964 por el grupo australiano The Seekers y por el grupo británico The Searchers, quienes la llevaron a las listas de éxitos en su país y los Estados Unidos. El álbum de Faithfull llegó al nº 15 en las listas británicas y al nº 12 en las estadounidenses.
What have they done to the rain (lyrics)
Just a little rain falling all around
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
Just a little rain, just a little rain
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
Just a little breeze out of the sky
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
What have they done to the rain
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound
Just a little rain, just a little rain
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
Just a little breeze out of the sky
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye
What have they done to the rain
Just a little boy standing in the rain
The gentle rain that falls for years
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain
What have they done to the rain
