Imagino que o Grayson Capps não seja muito conhecido nos Estados Unidos, quiçá aqui no Brasil. Eu descobri ele totalmente sem querer, em 2006. Na época, eu e o Gui estávamos na nossa turnê europeia e achamos o disco dele em uma FNAC de Paris. (Quem vê pensa que somos chiques. Não somos).
I See You é a última música do disco em questão, “If You Knew My Mind” e eu acho a letra bem bonita. De quebra, ainda achei essa versão no YouTube, com uma mocinha cantando. Belíssimo.
The sun slither down behind the sycomore tree,
The wind rolled in to cool me about there grins,
It’s been to hot mama, you know it’s been to warm,
It will be alright when the summer is gone, oh yeah.The fish ain’t been biting but my hook is wet,
Ain’t seen no rain since the day I left,
Take a drink of water when your throat is dry,
I’m gonna sit on the dam all through the night, yeah lord.Hear the bullfrogs croaking all around the pond,
Sounds just like a concert down in New Ville Orleans,
Streams through the forest just like the blood in my arms,
And I see you in everything, I do.Boy I pack my bags, I hit the road,
I own a streatch of land, got me a Fish and Hold,
Gonna sit right here until I clear my head,
Guz I see you in everything, yeah I do.But I love you now, just like I loved you then,
I’m getting a little too old to try and pretend,
There will be another to compare with you,
Guz I see you in everything, I do.Bit there are no answers, its just a road you’re on,
If you don’t open up your eyes, soon it will all be gone,
Breez through the forest, just like the breath in my lungs,
Now I see you in everything.
