Venditti quando era ancora in sè

Venditti non mi è mai piaciuto più di tanto, anche se devo ammettere che ha scritto alcune canzoni che sono davvero bellissime e che meritano di rientrare nella storia della musica italiana, ma gli ultimi suoi lavori sono davvero insopportabili, e dal punto di vista delle musiche, sono praticamente tutti uguali

[Tanelorn]

"Electricity" - Anathema (da "A Natural Disaster")


Seems like you never really knew me
seems like you never understood me
seems like you never really knew how to feel
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me

There were times you really made me smile
and there were times you really made me cry
and there were times I never really knew how to feel
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
and the fear made you so unsure of me
what you needed was to be rid of me.

But electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
and the fear made you so unsure of me
what you needed was to be rid of me

quand'ero piccola Venditti mi piaceva, anche se in realtà conoscevo solo le canzoni piú famose, che forse sono le piú belle.

con l'ultima canzone (cioé immagino che ci sia anche un album, ma sto pensando a quella canzone terribile che le radio mandano a manetta ogni 30 secondi) ha davvero toccato il fondo, peró!

[Frine]

questa la canterò stasera facendo la doccia con la vellutata Lush..

Feelin' Love

You make me feel like a sticky pistil leaning into a stamen

You make me feel like a mister sunshine Himself

You make me feel like splendor in the grass
While we're rollin'
Damn skippy baby
You make me feel like the amazon's runnin' between
my thighs


You make me feel love, love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love, love
You make me feel love, love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love

You make me feel like a candy apple
Red and horny
You make me feel like I wanna be a dumb blonde
In a centerfold, the girl next door
And I would open the door and
I'd be all wet
With my tits soaking through this tiny felt t-shirt
That I'm wearing
And you would open the door and tie
Me up to the bed

You make me feel love, love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love, love
You make me feel love, love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love


Loved but I don't know who I am
Am I Barry White?
Am I hot inside?
What would I place with your unconscious
Oh baby babe babe babe
I will be your ???? all night
Take your time

You make me feel
You make me feel love

Peace sells....but who' s buying?
Peace sells....but who' s buying?
Peace sells....but who' s buying?
No, Peace sells

...è proprio così...gli ultimi dischi sono inavvicinabili...ed il declino già si ebbe nell'87 con "Venditti e segreti"! Ma già il trittico "Sotto il segno dei pesci", "Buona Domenica" e "Sotto la pioggia", pur avendo grandi pezzi verso i quali sono personalmente molto legato, avevano passato il segno ed in molti reclamavano il "vecchio Venditti" (e siamo a cavallo dei '70/'80)...è nei primissimi album che ha dato il meglio: è un venditti che lui stesso sembra voler nascondere!
E'molto più intimo...ma che canzoni però!!! Splendide!!
Non so il resto del nuovo album, ma la canzone che sta passando alla radio in questi giorni è assolutamente inascoltabile!!!

[akela]

Gli aerei stanno al cielo, come le navi al mare
come il sole all'orizzonte la sera, come vero che non voglio tornare
a una stanza vuota e tranquilla dove aspetto un amore lontano
e mi pettino i pensieri col bicchiere nella mano

Chi di voi l'ha vista partire, dica pure che stracciona era
quanto vento aveva nei capelli, se rideva o se piangeva
la mattina che prese il treno, era seduta accanto al finestrino
vide passare l'Italia ai suoi piedi, giocando a carte col suo destino

Ora i tempi si sa che cambiano, passano e tornano tristezza e amore
da qualche parte c'è una stanza più calda
sicuramente esiste un uomo migliore
io nel frattempo ho scritto altre canzoni, di lei parlano raramente
ma non vero che io l'abbia perduta, dimenticata come dice la gente...

(Francesco De Gregori, Renoir)

[fuocoblu]

When darkness lies heavy - the night is too long
You need a shoulder - you can lean on
Call me - call me

The words of a lovesong are hurting your soul
Your lover has left you standing out in the cold
Call me - call me

Bridge:
I can't bring you the rainbow
Promise you silver nor gold
Oh but darling - I can reach out a hand to hold

You can't tell your visions from reality
Like a clown that keeps laughing to hide all his tears
Call me - call me

You're walking a highway that got no return
Ain't no way back 'cause your bridges are burnt
Call me - call me

You can count on me - call me
You can count on me - call me
You can call me

You feel like a singer who's lost all his songs
A sailor that's been out upon the ocean too long
Call me - call me

The dreams that you dream can't pull you through
Desillusion keeps following you
Call me - call me

(Call me, Hans Theessink)

[fuocoblu]

Time After Time
Lying in bed I hear the clock tick and I think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Flashbacks warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase and memories time after

Sometimes you picture me im walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear what you say

[Chorus:]
And you say go slow not far behind
Second hand unwind
If youre lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall i will catch you ill be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm ok
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time
time after...


(Time after time, Cindy Lauper, ma consiglio di ascoltare la versione di Tuck and Patti)

[Amaryllis]

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
So let it be
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him

U2 - MLK

Amaryllis, sempre più music sister!!
dimmi, ti prego, che anche a te piacciono gli U2!!


"Love Is Blindness"

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me
Oh my love
Blindness

[shining]

...che pezzo!!!
questa
canzone
è
splendida!!!!
grazie!

[Amaryllis]

dimmi, ti prego, che anche a te piacciono gli U2!!

ma certo! beh...gli U2 sono gli U2... con tutto quello che si può dire... compreso purtroppo il fatto che oggi siano forse un po' in discesa...
ma come resistere alla loro fantastica discografia! ci sono dei pezzi da cui non ci si stacca più!

"Temporary Peace"

Deep inside the silence
staring out upon the sea
the waves are washing over
half forgotten memory
deep within the moment
laughter floats upon the breeze
rising and falling dying down within me

And I swear I never knew,I never knew
how it could be
and all this time all I had inside
was what I couldn't see
I swear I never knew, I never knew
how it couldn't be
all the waves are washing over
all that hurts inside of me

Beyond this beautiful horizon
lies a dream for you and I
this tranquil scene is still unbroken
by the rumours in the sky
but there's a storm closing in
voices crying on the wind
the serenade is growing
colder breaks my soul
that tries to sing
and there's so many, many thoughts
when I try to go to sleep
but with you I start to feel
a sort of temporary peace
there's a drift in and out...

(Anathema, da "A fine day to exit" - 2001)

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
>From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
>From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

(Leonard Cohen, Suzanne)

stamattina alle 7 e 1/4, partendo da casa, sono stata accolta/ assalita dai Negrita...

Mama Maè prega perchè...
il mondo và più veloce di me!
Alzo stereo a palla per non pensare
Alzo così tanto da farmi male
dimenticando tutto quello che so...*
...tutto quello che so!
Rotolo e rimbalzo tra l’Inferno e il Cielo
Tra demoni privati e santi extra Vangelo
perdendo terreno, ma il fiato è quello che è
prega un poco per me!
Partecipo al gioco e non so bleffare
si vince o si perde ma voglio giocare!
Controsterzo sbando e vado di fuori
Cercando di seguire piloti migliori
ma è un po’ rimediare uno strappo e non so se mi va
... no, non so se mi va
Per ogni partita hai un gioco da fare
che vinca o che perda io voglio provare!

*e così ho fatto... mi era presa un po' male...

[ilmagodilussino]

.....
When I die want you to dress me in straight lace shoes
I wanna a boxback coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So the boys'll know that I died standing flat.

Bellisima canzone, io ho la versione di Daniele Sepe, bellissima anche quella

TO LIVE IS TO DIE

When a man lies he murders
Some part of the world
these are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
all this I cannot bear
to witness any longer
cannot the kingdom of salvation
take me home

To live is to die - Dal disco: ...And justice for all

"Friday I'm In Love" (The Cure)

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday
I'm in love
