DIA 1: “Uma música com uma cor no título”

It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue (1965)
de: Bob Dylan
com: Echo and The Bunnymen (1985)

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out the saints are comin’ through
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
This sky, too, is folding under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
All your reindeer armies, are all going home
The lover who just walked out your door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet, too, is moving under you
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you
Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who’s rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Bob Dylan registrou “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” em seu absolutamente clássico álbum “Bringing It All Back Home“, de 1965, e em diversos álbuns ao vivo ao longo de sua carreira. A versão do Echo and The Bunnymen, registrada em uma sessão de uma rádio em Estocolmo em 1985, foi popularizada pelo famoso bootleg “On Strike or Songs The Lord Taught Us“, de 1986, depois oficializada no box quádruplo “Crystal Days” (2001). Atualmente pode ser encontrada nas plataformas no bootleg “It’s All Live Now” (2017), que é praticamente uma reedição de “On Strike”. Caetano Veloso e Péricles Cavalcanti fizeram uma versão em português chamada “Negro Amor“, gravada por Gal Costa para o álbum “Caras e Bocas”, de 1977, e regravada pelos Engenheiros do Hawaii no álbum “¡Tchau Radar!”, de 1999,
