Santana: While My Guitar Gently Weeps

El afamado guitarrista y leyenda mexicana Carlos Santana acaba de publicar su álbum Guitar Heaven: The greatest guitar classics of all time. Un extraordinario disco -como es habitual en sus trabajos- donde rinde homenaje a grandes temas donde la guitarra ha sido y es el hilo conductor que los ha ayudado a convertirlos en clásicos. Temas de Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix o The Beatles, van abriéndose camino bajo la singular batuta de Carlos Santana a la guitarra.

Acompañado de nuevo por numerosas figuras de la música de primer nivel. Rob Thomas, Joe Cocker, o como podemos disfrutar en su videoclip del primer single, a India Arie junto al violonchelista Yo-Yo Ma en "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", una balada rock compuesta por George Harrison en su etapa de los Beatles.

Letra
I look at you all
see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor
and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don’t know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don’t know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah
