The Weepies
The WeepiesI Was Made For Sunny Days. feat.
I went to the marketthough it was threatening rainI was late to the stationso I missed that trainAnd the streets filled with umbrellasand we all looked the sameBut I'm the one who's waiting'til the sun comes out againI was made for sunny daysI made do with grey, but I didn't stayI was made for sunny daysAnd I was made for youFound a book you gave meWhen we were first in bloomWhen I thought that you might save mefrom the dark side of the moonInstead we both went walkingthrough the shadows and the gloom. And we never did stop talkingAnd you still light up the roomOh, the nights are longerOh, you make me strongerAnd the late light lingers on the grassAnd the nights are dark but then they passThey don't seem so deepI'm still losing sleep but I don't mind,no I don't mindGot you a winter jacketthat our baby wears aroundAnd we chase him through the springtimeand the sleeves drag on the groundAnd every hour we're workingand work and play are boundAnd every day is Sunday'cause the sun comes dancing down.
Sheet music' This Land Is Your Land' is one of the United States' most famous. Its lyrics were written by American folk singer in 1940, based on an existing, a tune called 'When the World's on Fire', in critical response to 's '.' When Guthrie was tired of hearing sing 'God Bless America' on the radio in the late 1930s, he sarcastically wrote 'God Blessed America for Me' before renaming it 'This Land Is Your Land.' In 2002, 'This Land Is Your Land' was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the to be added to the. Problems playing this file? See.Guthrie's melody was very similar to the melody of 'Oh, My Loving Brother', a gospel that had been recorded by the as 'When the World's On Fire' and had inspired their 'Little Darlin', Pal of Mine.' He used the same melody for the chorus and the verses.Guthrie's song, however, had a different melodic structure from the hymn or the similar melodies, and he used only the first half of those melodies in his song.
The melodic structure of the presumed model(s) can be described as 'ABCD'—a new melodic phrase for each of its four lines. Guthrie's structure, however, is 'ABAC.' In other words, Guthrie repeats the beginning of the melody (the 'A' section) for his third line; the melodic phrase for his fourth line ('This land was made for you and me') is found in neither the hymn nor the melodies.
Oh Sunny Days Lyrics
Original 1940 lyrics Following are the original lyrics as composed on February 23, 1940, in Guthrie's room at the Hanover House hotel at 43rd St. (101 West 43rd St.) in New York, showing his strikeouts. The line 'This land was made for you and me' does not literally appear in the manuscript at the end of each verse, but is implied by Guthrie's writing of those words at the top of the page and by his subsequent singing of the line with those words.The original title was 'God Blessed America', but it was struck out and replaced by 'This Land Was Made For You & Me'. It appears therefore that the original 1940 title was 'This Land'. After we built the Coolee Dam we had to sell the people out there a lot of bonds to get the money to buy the copper wire and high lines and pay a whole big bunch of people at work and I don't know what all. We called them Public Utility Bonds, just about like a War Bond, same thing. (And a lot of politicians told the folks not to buy them but we sold them anyhow).
The main idea about this song is, you think about these Eight words all the rest of your life and they'll come a bubbling up into Eighty Jillion all Union. Try it and see. THIS LAND IS MADE FOR YOU AND ME.– Woody Guthrie, from, 1945A March 1944 recording in the possession of the Smithsonian, the earliest known recording of the song, has the 'private property' verse included. This version was recorded the same day as 75 other songs. This was confirmed by several archivists for who were interviewed as part of the program Save Our History – Save our Sounds. The 1944 recording with this fourth verse can be found on Woody Guthrie: This Land is Your Land: The Asch Recordings Volume 1, where it is track 14. Nobody living can ever stop me,As I go walking that freedom highway;Nobody living can ever make me turn backThis land was made for you and me.In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;By the relief office, I'd seen my people.As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,Is this land made for you and me?A 1945 pamphlet which omitted the last two verses has caused some question as to whether the original song did in fact contain the full text.
The original manuscript confirms both of these verses.As with other folk songs, it was sung with different words at various times although the motives for this particular change of lyrics may involve the possible political interpretations of the verses. Recordings of Guthrie have him singing the verses with different words.The radical verses are not often performed in schools or official functions. They can be best interpreted as a protest against the vast income inequalities that exist in the United States, and against the sufferings of millions during the. America, Guthrie insists, was made—and could still be made—for you and me. – This interpretation is consistent with such other Guthrie songs as 'Pretty Boy Floyd' and Guthrie's lifelong struggle for social justice.The song was revived in the 1960s, when several artists of the new folk movement, including, and all recorded versions, inspired by its political message. Recorded the song in 1962 for their album.
Recorded the song for their 1965 album,. It was performed many times by the cyclist choir, accompanied by guitarists and a wash-tub bassist, during the Wandering Wheels historic 1966 U.S. Coast-to-coast bicycle trip. At the founding convention of the Canadian social democratic, a version of the song was sung by the attending delegates.
First began performing it live on the in 1980, and released one such performance of it on, in which he called it 'about one of the most beautiful songs ever written.' The song was performed by Springsteen and, accompanied by Seeger's grandson, at on January 18, 2009. The song was restored to the original lyrics (including the 'There was a big high wall there' and 'Nobody living can ever stop me' verses) for this performance (as per Pete Seeger's request) with the exception of a change in the end of the 'Relief Office' verse to 'As they stood hungry, I stood there whistling, This land was made for you and me.' The original lyrics are 'As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking, Is this land made for you and me?' Voice actress and children's entertainer recorded a version for her musical album What A Way To Play in 2006.In 2010, and, the surviving members of, requested that the stop using their recording of 'This Land is Your Land' at their rallies, stating in a letter that the organization's philosophy was 'directly contrary to the advocacy position' held by the group.tells a story in concerts on occasion, of his mother returning from a dance tour of China, and reporting around the Guthrie family dinner table that at one point in the tour she was serenaded by Chinese children singing the song. Arlo says Woody was incredulous: 'The Chinese?
Singing 'This land is your land, this land is my land? From California to the New York island?' Variations As is the case with many well-known songs, it has been the subject of an enormous number of variations and parodies. They include:Versions about other countries Many variants of the song have been recorded with lyrics adjusted to fit other countries, regions, languages, and ethnic groups. They include:.: The group popularized their version in 1955. Their modified chorus contains the lyrics. This collection of lyrics was published posthumously by the Electronic Frontier FoundationOn the typescript submitted for copyright of 'This Land Is Your Land', Guthrie wrote:'This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern.

We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do.' Currently a number of different organizations claim copyright for the song.
According to the, the melody came from a tune that A.P. Carter had found and recorded with Sarah and Maybelle Carter prior to 1934 and was not original to Guthrie.In 2004, the website hosted a parody of the song, with and singing altered lyrics to comment on the US 2004 Presidential election, resulting in, a music publisher that owns the copyright to Guthrie's tune through its Ludlow Music unit, threatening legal action.JibJab then sued to affirm their parody was, with the (EFF) acting for them. As part of their research on the case they found that the song had been first published by Woody Guthrie in 1945, although the copyright was not registered until 1956.
This meant that when Ludlow applied to renew the copyright in 1984 they were 11 years too late as the song had been in the public domain since 1973 (28 years from first publication). The Richmond Organization settled with Jibjab shortly thereafter, agreeing that JibJab were free to distribute their parody.
In an interview on Arlo Guthrie said that he thought the parody was hilarious and he thought Woody would have loved it too. Richmond still, however, claims copyright on other versions of the song, such as those appearing in the 1956 and later publications. Legally, such claims only apply to original elements of the song that were not in the version.The Richmond Organization and Ludlow Music were sued in 2016 over their claims of copyright in a lawsuit led by Randall Newman. In a similar case, Newman previously successfully argued the song ' was public domain. References.
