Kris Kristofferson - For the good times (1970) Hotney 8 Streams • 2 years ago

Fair use - no copyright violation intended

"For the good times" from Kris' debut album "Kristofferson".
It's so sad and beautiful at the same time...
Great lyrics as always, and this beautiful tune ... I love it!

Of course this song was not written about Rita and him,
but things always happen twice in one's lifetime...

It was Kris' first No 1 country hit as a writer in 1970
It was "Song of the Year" (and "Single Record of the Year") of the Academy of Country Music in 1970 -
(That was the first time a writer had won "Song of the Year" awards from both the Country Music Association - with "Sunday Mornin' comin' down"- AND the Academy of Country Music for different songs in the same year)

In 1971 Ray Price won a Grammy Award for "Best Male Country Vocal Performance" with it.

The scenes are from the movies
"The last honor of Kathryn Beck"- aka "Act of Passion" (1984) and
"Blood and Orchids" (TV, 1986).
Both movies are great to me and worth watching anyway, but only available on VHS tapes.
... The latter one is available on DVD now

Kris already began to write the song in 1968, in his Opel, on one of his endless rides from Nashville to the Gulf.
"I began a song about making love to a woman for the last time. After a while the melody really got to me. I couldn't wait to get to a guitar. I was riding along thinking about that part where it says, 'Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowin' soft against the window,' and I wondered if I could play it. I wrote only the first part of the lyrics then. A while went before I finished it, I can't remember how long.... But I do remember who I wrote it about." Probably it was inspired by the dying days of his relationship to Fran...
Now it's hard to believe that for a time some radio stations wouldn't play the original recording by Bill Nash because of its "overtly sexual content"; indeed for a brief time, Kris couldn't even find anyone who wanted to record the song... And then? A spokeman for Buckhorn Music, which published the song shortly before Kris switched to Combine Music, said later, "It's recorded by pretty much everyone who comes into town to do an album, Englebert Humperndinck, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Chet Atkins, Loretta Lynn and many more."

For the good times

Don't look so sad, I know it's over
But life goes on and this old world
will keep on turning
Let's just be glad we had some time
to spend together
There's no need to watch the bridges
that we're burning

Lay your head upon my pillow,
hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
blowin' soft against the window
And make believe you love me one more time
For the good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should find
you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
when you leave me

Lay your head upon my pillow
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
Hear the whisper of the raindrops
Blowin' soft against my window
Make believe you love me
one more time
For the good times

For the good times (1968)

Schau nicht so traurig, ich weiß, es ist vorbei.
Aber das Leben geht weiter
und diese alte Welt wird sich weiterdrehen.
Lass uns einfach froh sein,
dass wir einige Zeit zusammen verbringen konnten
Wir müssen uns nicht die Brücken anschauen, die wir verbrennen.

Leg deinen Kopf auf mein Kissen,
halte deinen warmen und zärtlichen Körper
dicht an meinen
Hör das Flüstern der Regentropfen
weich gegen das Fenster schlagen
Und lass mich noch einmal glauben, dass du mich liebst -
wegen der guten Zeiten

Ich werd zurecht kommen,
du wirst einen anderen finden.
Und ich werde hier sein falls du je entscheidest, dass du mich brauchst.
Sag kein Wort über das Morgen oder das Fürimmer.
Es wird noch genug Zeit sein fürs Traurigsein
wenn du mich verlässt...

Lyrics:

[Intro]
No doubt

[Verse 1]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Stainless steel gats, they never rust, fit to bust
You get touched, blessed with the real side of life
Just enough, you couldn't fight it with your strongest mic
Laid down nigga eyes, visualize bad reception
Major interference shoot your upper body section
I travel like a two-two bullet, throughout your body
Repped to the fullest, Queensbridge representin'
Presentin', the hollow tip crew
Loose lips sink ships, you talk shit I follow through
Once the kite is sent, I might get bent but still planted
No second thoughts, 'cause my conscience is demandin'
For the bloodshed (bloodshed), I leave that mug red (mug red)
I'm like cancer can't catch me cause I done spread (done spread)
Doorknob dead, enough said from the scene I fled
With the paranoid thoughts runnin' round my head
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back
It's on, what the fuck you said? I'll be right back
With the gat, and temper, end your motherfuckin' era
Your shorty set you up you better dead her
Hunger for the cheddar, big Benz or better
Armeretto sours, alcohol assumption
While you, runnin' we thumpin'
Due to the fact The Infamous is bumpin'
Ice grill, son you frontin'

[Chorus]
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back
It's on - what the fuck you said? I'll be right back
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back
It's on - what the fuck you said I'll be right back
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back
It's on - what the fuck you said I'll be right back
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back
It's on - what the fuck you said I'll be right back

[Verse 2]
Welcome to the fact that, here take that
Right back at you, I'm goin at Duke, already ran through
Wasn't hard to capture, what is it that your goin' after?
(What is it what is it?) My forty-fifth'll make your clothes damper
Put in the hamper, the fabulous Infamous movin' stainless
Crimes heinous, to all my niggas hold your bangers
Live in action, if you were dapped then relax then
The fuck you said? I'll be right back with MACs then
Blastin', tearin' up your Fila fashion
Give him what he askin', fill you in on what happened
Back at the cabin, be at the round table plannin'
To spread team across planet, expand shit
Slap a nigga open handedly style, somethin' foul
For tryin' to slow down, my cash pile a hundred miles (so what)
I can recall the days, juvenile crime pays
Fourteen years old, shorty from round way
Brick-ass cold, still pump from night to day
But why did my life have to be this way?
I rock Velour suits, flavors like mixed fruits
My loot give recoup, razors in my shoe
'Case they try to troop me to the Island
I'm known for start whylin'
Back in New York, my soldiers got the cash pildin'
Peep this, throwin' blows on some nose and teeth shit
So much drama, who the fuck knows we got beef with?
Lift you up off your feet like ski lift
Pull back the big fifth for niggas who riff, them niggas you with
Then I'm on the next flight, gettin' bent in the clouds
On my way down South for international crowds

[Interlude]
Word up, word up son, we gotta get this motherfuckin' money kid
Knahmsayin? What up kid? Fuck that son

[Chorus]
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back
It's on - what the fuck you said? I'll be right back
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back (fuck that, yo)
It's on - what the fuck you said? I'll be right back (word to mother yo)
It's like that, war, project niggas strike back (infamous, nigga)
It's on - what the fuck you said? I'll be right back (infamous)

[Outro]
Black Mac word up, word up, yo the maxin', pump relaxin'
Check it out son, word up, project niggas strike Back

Artifacts - Wrong Side Of Da Tracks Hotney 7 Streams • 2 years ago

From the 1994 Album: "Between a Rock and a Hard Place"...(Click "show more" for artist info)...

Artifacts is a hip hop group consisting of El Da Sensei, Tame One and DJ Kaos. They hail from Newark, New Jersey and made underground music that paid homage to the four elements of hip hop. The Artifacts' most popular single "Wrong Side of Da Tracks" paid special homage to graffiti art, as they were graffiti artists themselves.

They released their first album, Between a Rock and a Hard Place on October 27, 1994. Well received by underground hip hop audiences, it featured b-boy and graffiti themes. The album's beats were produced by Buckwild (from the DITC crew) and T-Ray (from the Soul Assassins crew). The Artifacts' second album, That's Them was released on April 15, 1997. It featured similar material, but it did not receive as much recognition as their debut effort. The Artifacts split soon after the release of this second album.

Tame One and El Da Sensei have both continued to release music as solo artists. In 2003, Tame One joined the Weathermen, an underground rap group including Cage Kennylz, Camu Tao, Aesop Rock, and El-P. Soon after joining the Weathermen, Tame One and Cage released the album Waterworld under the name Leak Bros. In 2009, Tame ONe collaborated with another member of the Definitive Jux label, releasing the album Parallel Uni-Verses with Del the Funky Homosapien. El Da Sensei has released a number of solo albums and collaborated with the Polish rap group The Returners in 2008, as well as East Coast-based group, The Immortals Project in 2009.

In August 2009 at the Rock Steady Crew Anniversary Weekend in Newark, New Jersey, Artifacts briefly reunited during a performance by El Da Sensei. According to Tame One the duo have not reconciled their differences but when he heard the horn riff which introduces "Wrong Side of Da Tracks", he felt like performing it. The impromptu reunion has not led to any official reunion.

On August 2, 2010 at The Rock Steady Crew 33rd Anniversary Celebration in Newark, New Jersey, both El Da Sensei and Tame One along with DJ KAOS performed officially as The Artifacts. They performed several songs from their respective catalogs as well as Artifacts material at this show. It is confirmed that they are indeed back together and in the process of collaborating on a new Artifacts album.
