Bad moon rising

Pahaenteinen kuu nousee aina yhtä vaikuttavasti ellei peräti ylevästi. Kuuta katsellessahan kauneus-mielihyvän, kunnioituksen sekä arvoituksellisen hämmästyksen ja pelon tunteet sekoittuvat ja yhdistyvät ikäänkuin mieltä kohottavalla tavalla. Esteettisissä teorioissa [etenkin Burke ja Kant] tällaista kokemusta kutsutaan yleväksi. - - Bad moon rising-kappaleessa kuuta ei kuitenkaan kuvata ylevän kokemuksen kautta vaan pelkästään kauhean lähitulevaisuuden ennusmerkkinä [mutta kuten kuulemme tässä biisissä Fogertylla on pikemminkin kieli poskessa kuin gootti-hevit housussa ;\].

BAD MOON RISING - I think I knew I was going to write this song for a long time. There is an old black and white movie called “The Devil and Daniel Webster”. In this classic story a farmer is down on his luck and the Devil shows up and offers to make the man successful beyond his wildest dreams. There is only one catch… the man has to agree to give the Devil his soul. Of course, the farmer says yes. Soon after, there is a great storm, a hurricane really, that lasts all night while the farmer cowers in his barn. The next morning, he awakens to see devastation everywhere. All the crops of his neighbors are smashed completely into the ground and yet his crops are straight up to the sky. That scene made a big impression on me - [John Fogerty].

Lyrics

I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

CHORUS:
Don't go around tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise

[Huom. Johnilla on tapana laulaa jossain kohtaa 'väärinkuultuna' there's a bathroom on the right -  yleensä toiseksi viimeisessä kertosäkeessä].

I hear hurricanes ablowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

CHORUS
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

CHORUS x 2
