Re: La Canzone Del Giorno, Part 5

[pgm]

invece la storia di GLF mi ha colpito molto.
sai se quando ha girato quel video era malato? ha un viso impressionante. (edit: tumore al polmone)

grazie, il titolo dell'album non lo conoscevo. che il mulo mi aiuti-

gli offlaga sono quelli di "reagan bombardaci parma"?  :D

Me lo ricordo, era veramente distrutto. Il video di quel concerto (che fu registrato per la serie "acustica" di Videomusic) mi fa venire una pelle d'oca paurosa. Le mie preferite sono "fuochi nella notte di S.Giovanni" "Inquieto" e "Del mondo" con cui il concerto si chiude.
PS sì gli Offlaga sono quelli lì :D

Bloc Party - Two More Years



"In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view.
Such longing for the past for such completion.
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey.
I've become crueler in your presence.

They say: "Be brave, there's a right way and a wrong way."
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever.

[Chorus]
Two more years, there's only two more years,
Two more years, there's only two more years,
Two more years so hold on.

Two more years, there's only two more years,
Two more years, there's only two more years,
Two more years so hold on.

You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear.
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon.
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms.
To start anew all over more enlightened.

I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell.
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever.

[Chorus]

You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you.
You don't need to find answers.

You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you.
You don't need to find answers.

Dead weights, balloons,
Drag me to you.
Dead weights, balloons,
To sleep in your arms.

I've become crueler since I met you.
I've become rougher, this world is killing me.

And we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles,
And we try to remember our alibis.
We tell lies to our parents, we hide in their rooms,
We bury our secrets in the garden.
Of course we could never make this love last,
I said of course we could never make this love last,
The only love we know is love for ourselves.
We bury our secrets in the garden."

Alanis Morrisette - That I would be good

That I would be good
Even if I did nothing
That I would be good
Even if I got the thumbs down
That I would be good
If I got and stayed sick
That I would be good
Even if I gained ten pounds
That I would be fine
Even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good
If I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great
If I was no longer queen
That I would be grand
If I was not all knowing
That I would be loved
Even when I'm not myself
That I would be good
Even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved
Even when I was fuming
That I would be good
Even if I was clinging
That I would be good
Even if I lost sanity
That I would be good
Whether with or without you
Whether with or without you

You thought I didn't know about nothin'!
Well, it's about time that the Rock says somethin'!

[Buff:]
Boy, I got money like Donald Trump!

[Kool Rock Ski:]
Yeah, right!
You're batting oh-for-one hundred, homeboy, your in a slump!
You shouldn't talk junk like that!
You been drivin' around in your grandmother's Cadillac!
Gold, flashin' on your chest!
Hold up! Is that gold?! Yo, that's paint! Who you tryin' to impress!
You been livin' like a perpetrator! You d-mn clown!
Yo, why you come around my way! You ain't down!
You're nothin' but a brother on a mission!
And I'm the type of guy that's dissin' your mission!
You liar!

[Buff:]

[Kool Rock Ski:]
And I'm fed up, sick and tired of your lies!

[Buff:]

But, baby, you ain't got nothin'...nothin'...nothin'!
Those lies! Won't you tell the truth sometimes!
Instead of wastin' my time! Just tellin' me those lies...lies...lies!

[Kool Rock Ski:]
A funky, dope car, sitting on the corner!
You're chilling hard with the brand-new paint job!
People surround you like birds on bread!
The music's blasting; You're bopping your head!
A girls walks over and says, "Ooh, I love it!"
You crack a smile and say you just bought it!
And for your sake, yo, you hope and pray
They just don't take a look at the license plate!
Time is passing and you're still flashing;
The day is smooth; Your car is slamming!
So, what do you have to lose?
You pick a fly girlie up and put the car in cruise!
Destination love is reignin' the spot;
Same old people, flockin' and jockin';
Eyes wide open, lips are droppin'!
Somebody's gettin' suspicious!
Now, here's the plot! So, you better not miss this!
Your day was fun, but now he's gonna end it
When someone yells out, "Yo, your car is rented!"

[Buff:]
Lies! I'm sick and tired of lies!
Tellin' me the things you've got!
But, baby, you ain't got nothin'...nothin'...nothin'!
Those lies! Won't you tell the truth sometime?!
Instead of wastin' Buff's time! Just tellin' me those lies...lies...lies!

[Prince Markie Dee:]
Yo, now I'm sworn to tell the truth
The whole truth and nothin' but the truth!
To set me free! I see you're on a lyin' spree!
Now, you've done it, you're lyin' on me!
And I'll be d-mned! I'm not gonna have it!
Messin' around with your low-life habbits!
And if you confront me with your ignorance
You'll get body-slammed to the ground!
Pound to dust! So, bust what I'm gettin' at:
Speakin' fiction? Man, I talk back!
Perpetrators! Preachin' like phonies!
Enough is enough! It's time I got rough!
Snoopin', sniffin', chumps are slippin'!
Girls are cheating! Others are thieving!
It's time to bring it down to a hold:
Lying to another to save your soul;
To let the truth run like a river;
From lung to tongue down to the liver!

[Kool Rock Ski:]
And will the Rock go out like a sucker?

[Prince Markie Dee:]
I'll never lie! Word to the mother!

[Buff:]
Lies! I'm sick and tired of lies! Tellin' me the things you've got!
But, baby, you ain't got nothin'...nothin'...nothin'!
Lies! Won't you tell the truth sometime!
Instead of wastin' my time! Just tellin' me those lies...lies...lies!

Area : La Mela Di Odessa (1920)

from the album "Crac!" (1975)



La Mela Di Odessa (1920)

C'era una volta una mela a cavallo di una foglia.
Cavalca, cavalca, cavalca
insieme attraversarono il mare.
impararono a nuotare.
Arrivati in cima al mare, dove il mondo diventa piccino, la mela lasciò il suo vecchio vestito e prese l'abito da sposa più rosso, più rosso.
La foglia sorrise, era la prima volta di ogni cosa.
Riprese la mela in braccio, e partirono.
Giunsero in un paese giallo di grano pieno di gente felice, pieno di gente felice!
Si unirono a quella gente e scesero cantando fino alla grande piazza.
Qui altra gente si unì al coro.
"Ma dove siamo? ma dove siamo?"
Chiese la mela.
"Se pensi che il mondo sia piatto allora sei arrivata alla fine del mondo. Se credi che il mondo sia tondo allora sali, e incomincia il giro tondo!"
E la mela salì, salì, salì, salì, salì.
La foglia invece saltò, saltò, saltò.
Rientrò nel mare e nessuno la vide più.
Forse per lei, mah, il mondo era ancora piatto.
....Vicino al mare dove il mondo diventa piccino....Se credi che il mondo sia tondo, allora sali,sali! E incomincia il giro tondo!

Ogni volta che ascolto questo meraviglioso pezzo, non posso far altro che ricordare le notti prima degli esami di maturità, nel 96, a studiare con gli amici di allora... ascoltando in sottofondo musica come questa, fino a crollare addormentati alle 3 di notte...

King Crimson - Moonchild
1969



Call her moonchild
Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lovely moonchild
Dreaming in the shadow
Of the willow.

Talking to the trees of the
Cobweb strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the
Night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain.

Shes a moonchild
Gathering the flowers in a garden.
Lovely moonchild
Drifting on the echoes of the hours.

Sailing on the wind
In a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghosts of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child.

Simple Minds - Mandela Day


425,350


It was 25 years they take that man away
Now the freedom moves in closer every day
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes
They say Mandela's free so step outside
Oh oh oh oh Mandela day
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free

It was 25 years ago this very day
Held behind four walls all through night and day
Still the children know the story of that man
And I know what's going on right through your land

25 years ago
Na na na na Mandela day
Oh oh oh Mandela's free

If the tears are flowing wipe them from your face
I can feel his heartbeat moving deep inside
It was 25 years they took that man away
And now the world come down say Nelson Mandela's free

Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free

The rising suns sets Mandela on his way
Its been 25 years around this very day
From the one outside to the ones inside we say
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
Oh oh oh set Mandela free

Na na na na Mandela day
Na na na na Mandela's free

25 years ago
What's going on
And we know what's going on
Cos we know what's going on

Artista: Green Day
Album: 21st Century Breakdown
Titolo: 21 Guns


Do you know what's worth fighting for,
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Bob Dylan - Like A Rolling Stone


425,350

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Bob Marley & The Wailers : So Much Things To Say

from the album "Exodus" (1977)



So Much Things To Say

Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Ooh yeah, yeah!
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.
They got so much things to say right now;
They got so much things to say.

Eh! But I'll never forget no way: they crucified Je-sus Christ;
I'll never forget no way: they stole Marcus Garvey for rights.
Oo-ooh!
I'll never forget no way: they turned their back on Paul Bogle.
Hey-ey!
So don't you forget (no way) your youth,
who you are and where you stand in the struggle.

They go so very, so very, so very, so very, so very, so very,
so very, so very, so very, so very, so very -
everything they say - so much to say.
They got so much things to say, so much things to say.


I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places.
So while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, true they have found me guilty,
But through - through Jah proved my innocency.

Oh, when the rain fall, fall, fall now,
It don't fall on one man's housetop. Remember that:
When the rain fall,
It don't fall on one man's housetop.

They singin': so very much, so very much, oh so very much,
so very, very -
They got so much things to say right now;
yeah, they got so much things to say.

Hey, but I'n'I - I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood,
But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places.
So while, so while, so while they fight you down,
Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises.
I'n'I no expect to be justified
by the laws of men - by the laws of men.
Oh, hey through Jah to prove my innocency,
I told you wicked think they found me guilty.

They got la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la;
la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
- they "la" very much all the time.

So much things to say, rumour about,
they got so much without humour,
they don't know what they're doin', yeah.

Nirvana - Seasons In The Sun
1993



Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time
Goodbye papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I'll be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love
And helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

A parte Cobain che era affascinante in quanto personaggio, icona dell'autodistruzione e vari luoghi comuni vari (a me piace tantissimo a livello soggettivo e perchè mi ricorda molte cose della mia vita), ho sempre adorato grohl, sia come batterista che come cantante, proprio a livello di simpatia oltre che per un fatto musicale.
Che nostalgia con i Nirvana.

Questa la dedico a me


Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong
Who would have guessed it
I will not leave alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

No one will ever see
This side reflected
And if there's something wrong
Who would have guessed it
And I have left alone
Everything that I own
To make you feel like
It's not too late
It's never too late

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late

The world we knew
Won't come back
The time we've lost
Can't get back
The life we had
Won't be ours again

This world will never be
What I expected
And if I don't belong

Even if I say
It'll be alright
Still I hear you say
You want to end your life
Now and again we try
To just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around
'Cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late
It's never too late
