'My generation'. The Who

Hasta 15 minutos podía durar My Generation en un concierto de The Who...

My Generation -The Who sings my generation en EEUU- fue el álbum debut presentado por The Who en 1965, grabado gracias al éxito obtenido con algunos singles previos. Y dentro del álbum, el single, el emblemático tema compuesto por Pete Townshend que cedía además su título al trabajo completo: My Generation.

Se trata de un tema rockero, rebelde e incluso contestatario, compuesto para la generación de moda en Londres a principio de los 60, los mod, y que ha acabado por convertirse en un clásico del rock absolutamente contemporáneo.

Y una curiosidad: hasta 15 minutos podía durar la canción en las interpretaciones que de ella hacía The Who en vivo.

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby
