Después de la publicación de varios clips en Internet, sobretodo en algunas redes sociales, ya podemos disfrutar con el vídeo integral del tributo que Nirvana (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic y Pat Smear) y Beck han realizado en directo en memoria de David Bowie durante el party que anticipaba la edición 2016 de los Grammy Awards.
Para recordar el inolvidable genio británico, esta inédita formación de rock ha reinterpretado el famoso tema “The man who sold the World”, title track de su tercer disco lanzado en 1971 con la producción de Tony Visconti.
Fue versionada por la banda de grunge de Kurt Cobain en 1993, durante su concierto MTV Unplugged.
La letra de este clásico
We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land [Alt: I searched for foreign land]
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here [Alt 1: We walked a million years]
[Alt 2: With multimillionaires]
[Alt 3: We walked a million hills]
I must have died alone [Alt: I must have died along]
A long, long time ago
Who knows?
Not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
Who knows?
Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
