Иен Гиллан
британского рок-певца, наиболее известного как
вокалист группы «Deep Purple». Вторая волна славы
Гиллана пришлась на его исполнение партии Иисуса
в оригинальной версии рок-оперы «Jesus Christ
Superstar» Эндрю Ллойд Веббера и Тима Райса. До сих
пор певец считается одним из лучших мастеров грудного
вокала в рок-музыке с диапазоном голоса от Е2 до С6.
То ураганной силы вопль вселенной,
то нежный шёпот леденеющей могилы –
всегда он разный, но всегда отменный,
вокал блестящий навсегда, чьё имя – Гиллан!

Когда-то очень давно, ещё в Советском Союзе,
узнав, что группа «Deep Purple» распалась, я на-
писал эту небольшую поэму. Сегодня она – как
приложение к рассказу о великом вокалисте:

Для вас, други мои: «Woman from Tokyo» из
альбома «Deep Purple»1973 года «Who Do We
Thinl We Are» (вокал – Иен Гиллан):

Deep Purple / Woman from Tokyo
Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

А теперь, други мои, слушайте отрывок из великой
рок-оперы «Jusus Christ Superstar» под названием
«Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say)» («Гефсиман (Я
только хочу сказать»):

JESUS
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
for I don't want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me, I have changed I'm not as sure
As when we started
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen surely I've exeeded expectations
Tried for three years seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask for me
Let them hate me hit me hurt me nail me to their tree
I'd want know I'd want know my God
I'd want see I'd want see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I was ever before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my revard?
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why
Alright I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started - I didn't start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison, nail me to the cross and break me
Bleed me beat me kill me take me now - before
I change my mind
