look down

• oi va voi'nin oi va voi albumundeki guzel parcalardan biri.
  
  sozlerini de yazayim tam olsun
  
  when i need you beside me, i can do things to myself i regret.
  my thoughts become distant, my mind turns everything right on its head.
  i search in vain for the positive, to stop all the demons from talking aloud.
  it's not that i’m lost, it's just there are times i don't want to be found.
  
  i'm feeling my way,
  one step at a time,
  i know that you're there
  but i can't always find you.
  the next thing i know
  the circus begins
  and i’m walking along,
  doing anything not to look down.
  
  don't let go of my hand, i’m doing anything not to look down.
  
  when i need you beside me, at times i’m afraid ‘cause i don't know the cost
  i focus my thoughts, or at least those that i hope i can trust
  i start to feel all the maybes slowly spiral inside of my chest
  guess i’m no good at perspective so i should admit this is what i do best.
  
  i'm feeling my way,
  one step at the time,
  i know that you're there
  but i can't always find you.
  the next thing i know
  the circus begins
  and i’m walking along,
  doing anything not to look down.
  
  don't let go of my hand, i’m doing
  anything not to look down.
• hani gün içinde dinlenir de, geri kalan zamanda akılda döner durur ya bazen şarkılar, zihinde çalar, işte look down da onlardan biri. sürekli ''i'm feeling my way'' diye sessizce giriş yapan bir ses, sonra mırıldanma hali, devamında artan ton. ve sonra ''doing anyting not to look down''. ya, böyle bir şarkılar yapar işte oi va voi.
• oi va voi'nin en başarılı şarkılarından bir tanesidir. "don't let go of my hand, i’m doing anything not to look down." kısmı kimisini baya baya derinden yaralayabilir.
• les misérables müzikalinde yer alan en vurucu kısım. şöyle ki;
  
  beggars
  look down and see the beggars at your feet
  look down and show some mercy if you can
  look down and see the sweepings of the street
  look down, look down,
  upon your fellow man!
  
  gavroche
  'ow do you do? my name's gavroche.
  these are my people. here's my patch.
  not much to look at, nothing posh
  nothing that you'd call up to scratch.
  this is my school, my high society
  here in the slums of saint michele
  we live on crumbs of humble piety
  tough on the teeth, but what the hell!
  think you're poor?
  think you're free?
  follow me! follow me!
  
  beggars
  look down and show some mercy if you can
  look down, look down, upon your fellow man!
  
  (an old beggar woman finds a young prostitute occupying her pitch)
  
  old beggar woman
  what you think yer at?
  hanging round me pitch?
  if you're new around here, girl
  you've got a lot to learn!
  
  young prostitute
  listen you old bat...
  crazy bloody witch...
  'least i give me customers
  some pleasure in return!
  
  old beggar woman
  i know what you give!
  give 'em all the pox!
  spread around your poison
  till they end up in a box.
  
  pimp
  leave the poor old cow,
  move it, madeleine.
  she used to be no better
  till the clap got to her brain.
  
  beggars
  when's it gonna end?
  when we gonna live?
  something's gotta happen now or
  something's gonna give
  it'll come, it'll come, it'll come
  it'll come, it'll come, it'll come
  
  enjolras
  where the leaders of the land?
  where are the swells who run this show?
  
  marius
  only one man - and that's lamarque
  speaks for these people here below.
  
  beggars
  see our children fed
  help us in our shame
  something for a crust of bread
  in holy jesus' name
  
  urchin
  in the lord's holy name.
  
  beggars
  in his name, in his name, in his name...
  
  marius
  lamarque is ill and fading fast!
  won't last the week out, so they say.
  
  enjolras
  with all the anger in the land
  how long before the judgement day?
  before we cut the fat ones down to size?
  before the barricades arise?
  
  gavroche
  watch out for old thenardier
  all of his family's on the make
  once ran a hash-house down the way
  bit of a swine and no mistake
  he's got a gang
  the bleeding layabout
  even his daughter does her share
  that's eponine, she knows her way about
  only a kid, but hard to scare
  do we care?
  not a cuss
  long live us.
  long live us!
  
  beggars
  look down and show some mercy if you can
  look down, look down upon your fellow man!

• inanılmaz gaza getiren bir marş/şarkı. filmde gavroche'un söylediği sahneler o devirde sanki oradaymışsınız gibi hissettiriyor. fenerbahçe'nin kurtuluşunda aykut kocaman'ı gönderip bu parçayı maç öncesi soyunma odasında dinletmek yatabilir diye düşünüyorum. futbolcular koridordan sahaya çıktıklarında da basacaksın bu marşı tüm tribün maç boyunca isyan edip coşmazsa adam değilim.
• layığını er-geç bulacak şaheser. dinleyene verdiği gaz konusunda fetih marşı'nı bakkala gönderir!
• les miserables filminde sözleriyle beraber etkileyici bir açılış sahnesidir.
• les miserables müzikalinin etkileyici parçalarından biridir. önceden memleketin haliyle karşılaştırma yapma ihtiyacı hissetmezdim. bu aralar izlediğimde ise özellikle aşağıdaki kısımlarda ciddi bir öfke hissediyorum.
  
  look down and show some mercy if you can
  look down, look down, upon your fellow man
  
  birilerinin yukarıdaki dizeleri devlet erkanına hatırlatması lazım.
  bizlerin sorgulaması gereken ise aşağıda:
  
  where the leaders of the land
  where are the swells who run this show
• les miserables müzikalinde ve filmindeki müthiş eser ve bugün boğaziçi üniversitesinde yaşananları anlatan marş olabilir.
