๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ was born in ๐น๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐. He was a talented young man who could play the guitar, piano, clarinet and saxophone. Influenced by artists such as ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐, ๐ฑ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐ and ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐, at the age of twenty he recorded his first album "๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐" (1969) after being signed to ๐ฐ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐๐ ๐. ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ recorded two more albums, "๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐" (1970) and "๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐" (1972), but each album was less successful than the last - perhaps in part because ๐ต๐๐๐ didn’t like to do live performances or interviews due to his introverted personality - and this caused him to fall into a deepening depression, which can be seen in the lyrics of his dark and melancholic songs. After finishing his third album, discouraged by his lack of success, he decided to retire from the world of music and went to live at his parents' house in ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐ , where he grew up. In October 1974, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ traveled to ๐ญ๐๐๐๐๐ to contact singer and actress ๐ญ๐๐๐๐̧๐๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐, who once considered recording an album of his songs. He spent the last years of his life struggling with insomnia and depression, for which he was even hospitalized. On November 25th, 1974, ๐ต๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ died at the age of 26 at his parents' home from an overdose of amitriptyline, a type of antidepressant.
๐The case of ๐ต๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ is like many other artists that during his life, his work was underrated, but over time he has gained recognition by the public, critics and even other musicians vindicate him, as ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐ who is fan of his music and that is why ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ did a cover of "๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐"; a song originally written by ๐น๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ in late 1966 for his friend ๐ต๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐, who put the melody with his guitar. This song was recorded in the apartment of one of his friends in early 1967 and it was first released on the compilation album "๐ป๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ต๐ ๐น๐๐๐๐" in 1986.
๐น๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s cover version was produced by ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐๐, recorded at his place and released as a ๐ฉ-๐บ๐๐ ๐ on "๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐" single in 1996.

Wake up in the morning,
I look at my clock
It's way past noontime,
I'm late for work.
Tell me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me
It must be that I've been smoking
Too long
Go to fix me some breakfast,
I ain't got no food
Take me a shower,
The water don't feel no good.
Tell me what have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me
Must be that I've been smoking
Too long
I got opium in my chimney,
No other life to choose
Nightmares made of hash dreams,
The devil in my shoes.
What have I done wrong?
Yeah nothing can go right with me
It must be that I've been smoking
Too long
When I'm smoking, smoking,
Put my worries on a shelf
Try not to think about nothing,
Don't wanna see myself
What have I done wrong?
And nothing can go right with me
It must be that I've been smoking
Too long
In this blues I'm singing,
There's a lesson to be learned
If you go round smoking,
You're gonna get burned
Fuck me what have I done wrong?
Nothing can go right with me
Must be that I've been smoking
Too long
Too long.
