midnight train to georgia

• gladys knight'in bir sarkisi.
  
  sozleri:
  
  l.a. proved too much for the man
  so he's leavin' the life he's come to know
  he said he's goin' back to find what's left of his world
  the world he left behind not so long ago
  
  he's leavin' on that midnight train to georgia
  said he's goin' back to find the simpler place and time
  i'll be with him on that midnight train to georgia
  i'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine
  
  he kept dreamin' that someday he'd be a star
  but he sho' found out the hard way that dreams don't always come true
  so he's pawned all his hopes and he even sold his own car
  bought a one-way ticket back to the life he once knew
  
  said he's leavin' on that midnight train to georgia
  said he's goin' back to find the simpler place and time
  i'm gonna be with him on that midnight train to georgia
  i'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine
  
  oh he's leavin' on the midnight train to georgia
  said he's goin' back to find the simpler place and time
  i've got to be with him on that midnight train to georgia
  i'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine
  
  all aboard, all aboard, all aboard
  on the midnight train to georgia
  i got to go
  i got to go
  i got to go
• ünlü olmaya los angeles'a gidip (halivuud sideeey) birkaç uyduruk barda çaldıktan sonra babayı alıp memlekete dönmek zorunda kalanların şarkısı. gladys knight da hülya avşar moduna geçmiş, şarkıyı köye ibrahim tatlıses'le birlikte dönen beverly hills güzelinin ağzından okuyor.
• modern family'de de soundtrack olarak kullanılmıştır. (s05e05)
• motownın elinden kaçırdığı esaslı bir georgia ezgisidir.
  house md'de seyrettiğimde mest olmuştum; bir de kartal kadıköy metrosuna da bekleriz demek istediğim alice ridley isimli bir teyze tarafından şukela bir şekilde yorumlanmış. thrilling alice ridley at ny subway
  tabii doğal olarak, coverlamazsa ölecek hastalığının pençesindeki joan osborne tarafından da icra edilmiştir.
• jay pritchett'ın en sevdiği şarkı, benimse sayesinde sevdiğim bir şarkı.
• georgia'ya yazılmış pek çok şarkı vardır. en bilineni ray charles'ın georgia on my mind'ıdır. georgia eyaletinin milli marşı haline gelmiştir. plakalarda, tabelalarda "georgia on my mind" yazar. işin tuhafı georgia amerika'nın en ırkçı eyaletidir, klan'ın yuvasıdır. binlerce siyaha mezar olmuştur. pek çok afro-amerikalı için bir homeland sayılan georgia'ya gladys knight & pips'in 1973 yılında yayımladığı bu şarkıda hiçbir bağınız olmasa da bir şeyler hissettiriyor size. çünkü hangi dilde, kültürde veya coğrafyada olursa olsun memleket özlemi hakkında yazılmış her şarkı biraz üzer. soul müziğin en güzel örneklerinden biridir.
• house m.d 6. sezon 20. bölümde house, chase ve foreman'ın karaoke barda birlikte söyledikleri şarkı^^
  
  l.a. proved too much for the man
  (too much for the man, he couldn't make it)
  so he's leaving a life he's come to know, ooh

  (going back to find)
  to a simpler place and time, oh yes he is
  (whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
  ı'll be with him
  (ı know you will)
  on that midnight train to georgia
  (leaving on a midnight train to georgia, woo woo)
  ı'd rather live in his world
  (live in his world)
  than live without him in mine
  (her world is his, his and hers alone)
  
  he kept dreaming
  (dreaming)
  ooh, that some day he'd be a star
  (a superstar, but he didn't get far)
  but he sure found out the hard way
  that dreams don't always come true, oh no, uh uh
  (dreams don't always come true, uh uh, no, uh uh)
  so he pawned down his hopes
  (woo, woo, woo-woo)
  and even sold his old car
  (woo, woo, woo-woo)
  bought a one way ticket back to the life he once knew
  oh yes he did, he said he would
  
  oh-oh, he's leaving
  (leaving)

  (leaving on a midnight train)
  said he's going back to find, ooh
  (going back to find)
  a simpler place and time, ooh, yeah
  (whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
  ı'm gonna be with him
  (ı know you will)
  on that midnight train to georgia
  (leaving on a midnight train to georgia, woo woo)
  ı'd rather live in his world
  (live in his world)
  than live without him in mine
  (her world is his, his and hers alone)
  
  ooh, he's leaving
  (leaving)
  on the midnight train to georgia, yeah, ooh y'all
  (leaving on the midnight train)
  said he's going back to find
  (going back to find)
  ooh, a simpler place and time, ooh y'all, uh-huh
  (whenever he takes that ride, guess who's gonna be right by his side)
  ı've got to be with him
  (ı know you will)
  on that midnight train to georgia
  (leaving on a midnight train to georgia, woo woo)
  ı'd rather live in his world
  (live in his world)
  than live without him in mine
  (her world is his, his and hers alone)
  
  for love, gonna board the midnight train to ride
  for love, gonna board, gotta board the midnight train to go
  for love, gonna board, uh huh, the midnight train to go
  my world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
  my world, his world, our world, mine and his alone
  ı got to go
  ı got to go
  ı got to go, hey
  ı got to go
  ı got to go
  my world, his world, my man, his girl
  ı got to go
  ı got to go, oh

  my world, his world, our world, his girl
• i'd rather live in his world than live without him in mine, (benimkinde onsuz yaşamaktansa onun dünyasında yaşamayı tercih ederim) gibi olağanüstü bir cümleyi barındıran jay pritchett ın en sevdiği şarkıdır.
