Just the two of us – Bill Withers

Yuval Mar 28


השיר מדבר על זוג עם קשר עמוק ומיוחד שלא משנה מה קורה לו, הם יכולים ביחד להתגבר על זה.
לבנות טירות בשמיים זה מטאפורה לתוכניות הגדולות שעוד יש להם להשלים בחיים האלה ביחד.

השיר עבר כמה גלגולים עד שהגיע לגירסה שאנחנו מכירים.
בהתחלה שני חברים ויליאם סאטלר וראלף מקדונלד כתבו את המנגנינה של השיר, וגרובר וושינגטון – אחד הסקסופוניסטים המוכשרים של אותה התקופה ניגן אותה.
עם המנגינה הם הלכו לזמר ביל ויטהרס שאחראי גם על הלהיט Ain’t no sunshine והוא כתב את המילים למנגינה.
גרובר וושינגטון וביל ויטהרס נפגשו לראשונה באולפן ההקלטות כשהגיעו להקליט את השיר לאלבום של גרובר.
למרות שבכל מקום מופיע כאילו השיר שייך לגרובר וושינגטון, עם כל הכבוד לסקסופון הנפלא בשיר, לדעתי לא מגיע לו לקבל את הקרדיט על השיר, ולכן זה גם מה שרשמתי לגבי המבצע.
זה כמו שסינגולדה יגיד שהשיר אהבתיה שייך לו 🤷🏽‍♂️

השיר זכה בפרס הגראמי של שנת 1982, ועד היום משמש להכניס חתן וכלה לחופה.

Just the two of us – Bill Withers

I see the crystal raindrops fall
And the beauty of it all
Is when the sun comes shining through
To make those rainbows in my mind
When I think of you sometime
And I wanna spend some time with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building them castles in the sky
Just the two of us
You and I
I hear the crystal raindrops fall
On the window down the hall
And it becomes the morning dew
And darling when the morning comes
And I see the morning sun
I wanna be the one with you
Just the two of us
We can make it if we try
Just the two of us
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
Building big castles way on high
Just the two of us
You and I
just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
Let's get it together baby (yeah)
(Just the two of us)
Just the two of us
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
(We can make it, just the two of us)
(Just the two of us)
