I grew up in a small town |
| [00:39.12] |
World War II housing |
| [00:41.10] |
For people of color |
| [00:47.10] |
Now when I was a kid round 8 years old |
| [00:50.13] |
My bedroom wall was next to a single guy |
| [00:53.85] |
A thin wall away from mine |
| [00:58.29] |
Was that a sign |
| [01:01.35] |
Trippin' |
| [01:05.16] |
Trippin' on a memory |
| [01:09.15] |
You know I'm trippin' |
| [01:17.85] |
Memories |
| [01:23.13] |
Nearly every weekend the guy played music |
| [01:26.61] |
That I later found out was jazz |
| [01:29.46] |
The bass funky....the sax player |
| [01:31.74] |
The trumpet soloed |
| [01:33.03] |
maybe Ray Charles or Les McCann |
| [01:35.79] |
The sound was oh so soaked |
| [01:38.25] |
with a lot of blues |
| [01:39.69] |
Maybe it was Miles |
| [01:41.85] |
The music really drew me in |
| [01:44.13] |
I love the way it made me feel |
| [01:46.50] |
Made me hope this dream |
| [01:50.52] |
Just trippin' |
| [01:53.13] |
Trippin' on a memory |
| [02:05.28] |
A memory |
| [02:14.82] |
The music would play as he got dressed |
| [02:17.85] |
The groove that they do at the club |
| [02:20.61] |
When the DJ turned off the music |
| [02:23.25] |
They're leaving home with some girl to rub |
| [02:26.85] |
The music would start up again |
| [02:29.04] |
Surrounded by the sex |
| [02:30.54] |
the blues |
| [02:31.35] |
the knocks on the wall |
| [02:33.06] |
Mama was always screaming |
| [02:35.25] |
Is somebody hurt |
| [02:38.01] |
Or did somebody fall |
| [02:39.06] |
backgroud |
| [02:40.83] |
I never knew,you'd draw me in |
| [02:57.33] |
foreground. |
| [03:03.36] |
I loved the music |
| [03:06.00] |
Loved the way it drew me in |
| [03:08.25] |
Loved the way it made me feel |
| [03:10.47] |
Made me hope and dream that day |
| [03:14.04] |
I dreamed of |
| [03:16.47] |
Playing on the records |
| [03:18.72] |
Being at the gig |
| [03:21.09] |
Knockin on the thin wall |
| [03:29.19] |
Later I found that music could mean |
| [03:32.55] |
What you want it to mean |
| [03:34.86] |
Its the yen and the yang |
| [03:38.79] |
As Cannon used to say Ahuuuummm ! |
| [03:51.03] |
THE BALL USED TO SAY AAAHHHUUUMMM ! |
| [04:02.19] |
As the ball,used to say AAAAAHHHUMMMM ! |
