40 years

Counting Crows

Transposer:

Intro: F#m E Bm I was born in the jungle With the sickening smell of cinnamon in the air Born in a white hole and I can’t believe the colors here today Stuck on a circle I’ve never been blessed with elephant’s memory Riding a red line nowhere If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for If it takes 40 years put the money away If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain I was born in a good home Where the rising cost of raising children Was not a factor And I can’t believe the things it does to me I’m filled with the white noise Well I never did much of anything anyway Jump on a big train nowhere If it takes 40 years for the gun to be paid for If it takes 40 years put the money away If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir If it takes 40 years I want the thunder and the rain I’m gonna buy me a good heart and a conscience maybe raise some children Get me a good wife and a God and God and God and God and Start me a new life with a six foot color television Start me a new life somewhere I was born on a warm night On the right coast southeastern America Dead on arrival But you can’t believe the things you hear today I’ll fly me a white plane over water Over blue and green and Land in the ocean somewhere If it takes 40 years for the guns to be paid for If it takes 40 years put the money away If it takes 40 years to get the things that I need sir If it takes 40 years well I want that thunder Yeah and I want that rain Oh well I want that rain Come on now now gimme the thunder gimme the thunder Gimme the rain I want that rain I want the thunder and the rain

La chanson évoque la quête de sens et de vérités dans un monde complexe. L'artiste partage son expérience de vie, depuis ses origines jusqu'à ses aspirations, en exprimant un désir de stabilité, de connexion humaine et de spiritualité. Il utilise des métaphores puissantes pour parler de son parcours, de ses rêves de bonheur et de responsabilité. L’idée de prendre le temps nécessaire pour atteindre ces objectifs, même si cela peut prendre quarante ans, souligne un besoin profond de patience et d'espoir. Le contexte de cette chanson pourrait être celui d'une introspection face aux défis de la vie contemporaine. Dans un monde où le passé, les choix et les rêves peuvent sembler lointains, elle rappelle l'importance de la détermination et des ambitions que l'on nourrit malgré les obstacles. C'est un appel à la persévérance et à la recherche des choses essentielles qui nous animent, telles que l'amour et la foi.
