Se cumplen 53 años del lanzamiento del sencillo en el Reino Unido
[Redacción] @ecosdelvinilo
Se cumplieron hace muy poco 53 años del lanzamiento de 19th Nervous Breakdown, histórico single de The Rolling Stones, y para celebrar el aniversario ABKCO produjo el vídeo lyric oficial, que se ha compartido en YouTube. Este estreno acompaña el anuncio de la reedición en junio del Rock and Roll Circus en un triple vinilo con extras. El vídeo fue realizado por Lucy Dawkins y Tom Readdy.
19th Nervous Breakdown fue compuesta a partir de su título (escrito por Mick Jagger) entre octubre y diciembre de 1965, en plena gira americana, siendo luego grabada durante las sesiones del álbum Aftermath, del 3 al 8 de diciembre de ese año en los RCA Recording Studios en Hollywood, California. En lo musical, Keith Richards llevaba todo el peso rítmico, apuntalado por los fraseos de guitarra de Brian Jones derivados del Diddley Daddy de Bo Diddley.
Quizás lo más sorprendente (e incluso vanguardista) de la canción sean las líneas de bajo de Wyman aplicando la técnica del Dive Bomb, que consiste en que la barra de vibrato se usa para bajar rápidamente el tono de una nota, creando un sonido que se considera similar a una bomba que cae. 19th Nervous Breakdown llegaría al segundo lugar en los Estados Unidos y obtendría el primer puesto en la listas británicas, siendo el quinto sencillo más vendido en Gran Bretaña de 1966.
19th Nervous Breakdown
You’re the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
And though you’ve tried you just can’t hide your eyes are edged with tears
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
When you were a child you were a treated kind, but you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys, but still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
And your father’s still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Oh, who’s to blame, that girl’s just insane
Well, nothing I do don’t seem to work
It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please
You were still in school when you had that fool who really messed your mind,
And after that you turned your back on treating people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind,
But after while I realized you were disarranging mine
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Oh, who’s to blame, that girl’s just insane
Well, nothing I do don’t seem to work
It only seems to make the matters worse. Oh, please
When you were a child you were treated kind, but you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax
And you father’s still perfecting ways of making sealing wax
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
