Eric Burdon & War

Eric Burdon & War

Eric Victor Burdon (nacido el 11 de mayo de 1941, en Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne) fue el cantante de The Animals y después de The War. Él fue miembro fundador y vocalista de The Animals, banda originalmente formada en Newcastle en los primeros años sesenta. Burdon cantó muchos clásicos de los Animals como "The House of the Rising Sun", "Good Times", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Bring It On Home to Me" y "We Gotta Get Out of this Place". El teclista Alan Price y el batería John Steel, Animals originales, dejaron la banda, y fueron reemplazados por Dave Rowberry y Barry Jenkins respectivamente. En 1966, los miembros restantes Chas Chandler y Hilton Valentine se fueron del grupo, excepto Barry Jenkins y Burdon, y la banda se reformó como Eric Burdon and the Animals. A este grupo se le unieron el futuro miembro de Family John Weider y el futuro guitarrista de The Police Andy Summers. Esta nueva formación tuvo exitos con canciones como "When I Was Young", "Sky Pilot" y "Monterey". Esta unión duró hasta 1969, pasando por grandes cambios en la formación, y cambiando el nombre de la banda de Eric Burdon and the Animals a Eric Burdon and the New Animals. Cuando los New Animals se fueron, Burdon unió fuerzas con el grupo funky de Los Ángeles War. El álbum, Eric Burdon Declares War creó clásicos como "Spill The Wine" y "Tobacco Road". En 1971 Burdon empezó su carrera en solitario.

Letra de Spill The Wine (Album Version)
I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me an overfed long haired leaping gnome
Should be the star of a Hollywood movie
But there I was
I was taken to a place
The hall of the mountain kings
I stood high by the mountain tops
Naked to the world
In front of
Every kind of girl
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said....

Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl


I thought to myself, what could that mean?
Am I going crazy, or is this just a dream?
Now wait a minute....
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
So it's all in my head
And then I heard her say one, more time

Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine
In the other a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said

Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl

It's on girl, all you gotta do is spill that wine
Spill that wine, let me feel, let me feel hot, yeah! yeah!
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Spill the wine, spill the wine, spill the wine
Take that pearl!
