Barbra Streisand - Woman In Love ~ With Lyrics

Completely immersed in "Songs Of A Lost World" – which is an album that wants to tell me something, even if I don’t understand why for now – I need something to distract me.
So, let me share my usual, personal, quirky little story about this MASTERPIECE.

When the song was released, the singer (I love playing with women: they bring out the best, if they’re good) insisted that I execute that guitar intro perfectly, as if it were the easiest thing in the world.
Oh no, damn it!
Easy as hell!

So I went to my trusted dealer – he has perfect pitch – and asked him how I could reproduce those seventeen guitars with my little, tiny hands.

"Simple," he says (sharp), "you need a Multi-Octaver!"
Which was one of those little pedal boxes, like Fuzz,
that back then nobody quite understood how and why they worked.
One hundred fifty thousand lira! Damn!

I won’t even mention the frustration, me who can’t even change a light bulb, trying to configure that bizarre gadget!

Yet, when a guitarist who knows what he's doing meets a damn multi-octaver, that multi-octaver is an instrument that must obey!

It took me a week, but when I played the riff for the Boss, she said: "not bad; but add some echo."

So, can you understand?

Fortunately, Trump won and so did Inter.
Both played badly, what can I say.

P.S. I adore the Cure.
