No rain - Blind Melon

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

I like watchin' the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two

and speak my point of view

But it's not sane, It's not sane

I just want some one to say to me

I'll always be there when you wake

Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today

So stay with me and I'll have it made

And I don't understand why I sleep all day

And I start to complain that there's no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake

And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

escape......escape......escape......

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain

ya don't like my point of view

ya think I'm insane

Its not sane......it's not sane

Bad Religion - The Biggest Killer In American History




You have got your stranglers and prowlers in soft shoes. Furniture makers,
carpenters too
Bombers and commandos, all with some lost cause
Disgruntled workers, immersed in "veritás"
But stealthily, in the land of the free, he's lurking there
Most are unaware of
The biggest killer in American history
And god shed his grace on thee
Business institutions universites
Both are quite the circus where the killer wants his way
I think of Edward Teller and his moribund reprise
Then I look to Nevada and I can't believe my eyes
It's time for hime to die!
Most cannot remeber minutia learned in school
It's not there on the blackboard, it's what they don't tell you
We have got a problem, it starts and ends right here
It can be defeated but you've got to face your fear
We'll join and unite and steady our sight
Then we'll put it right `cuz it's time to fight
The biggest killer in American history
And god shed his grace on thee



Purtroppo non esiste un videoclip della canzone, per cui posto un live, ma fidatevi che rende anche di più di un videoclip!

I Bad Religion sono dei grandi..... questa canzone è fenomenale

Pearl Jam - Hail, Hail

Dall'album No Code del 1996



ah, is there room for both of us?
both of us apart?
are we bound out of obligation?
is that all we've got?
i get the words, and then i get to thinkin'
i don't wanna think, i wanna feel
and how do i feel?
and how do i...
if you're the only one, will i never be enough?
hail, hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
swore i'd love you till the day i die, and beyond..
are we going to the same place? if so, can i come?
it's egg rolling thick and heavy
all the past you carry
oh, i could be new... you underestimate me
if you're the only one, will i never be enough?
hail, hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
i sometimes realize i could only be as good as you'll let me
are you woman enough to be my man?
bandaged hand in hand
i find it on the run in a race that can't be won
all hail the lucky ones, i refer to those in love
if you're my only one, so could you only one?
i want to be your one, enough...
you won, your one, your hun

Otto Ohm - Domani


Non dimenticare che non so mettere virgole,
che non so giocare a carte e odio i centri commerciali,
che non soffro l'ansia di risultare vigile,
e non ne ho bisogno per essere speciale...
per questo domani ti sposo.
Non dimenticare che son poche quelle cose vere
che rimangono a brillare mentre corri in strade buie
quando tutto sembra sbriciolarsi addosso e tu vai a fondo,
basterà il pensiero per farti volare...
per questo domani ti sposo, per questo domani ti sposo.
E vinceremo le vigliaccherie,
di un mondo che ci vuole sempre uguali,
vedrai sarà + facile dividere per due,
saremo forse gli unici.....domani.
Non dimenticare di cercare tra le nuvole,
quelle cose strane che ti fanno essere languida,
quella strana proprietà che mostri nel commuoverti
quando vedi un cane solo, in fondo ci somiglia un pò...
per questo domani ti sposo.
Non dimenticare che chi vuole tutto troppo spesso
è finito solo nel contare le sue briciole,
chi ha rincorso il sogno di diventare uomo
senza mai legarsi per paura di sbagliare ma.....
per questo domani ti sposo, per questo domani ti sposo.
E vinceremo le vigliaccherie,
di un mondo che ci vuole sempre uguali,
vedrai sarà più facile dividere per due,
saremo forse gli unici domani.
Ed entrerà la luce in questa casa,
ci sembrerà più magico il destino
anche se non c'è niente da scoprire troverai
un motivo in più per esserci....domani
....domani....domani...domani....

Visto che oggi sono quattro anni esatti dalla sua scomparsa....

E mi alzo sui pedali - Stadio

Io sono un campione questo lo so
è solo questione di punti di vista.
In questo posto dove io sto
mi chiamano Marco, Marco il ciclista.

Ma è che alle volte si perde la strada
perché prima o poi ci sono brutti momenti
non so neppure se ero un Pirata
strappavo la vita col cuore e coi denti.

E se ho sbagliato non me ne son reso conto
ho preso le cose fin troppo sul serio.
Compreso anche il fatto di avere ogni tanto
esagerato per sentirmi più vero.

…E ora mi alzo sui pedali come quando ero bambino
dopo un po’ prendevo il volo dal cancello del giardino.
E mio nonno mi aspettava senza dire una parola
perché io e la bicicletta siamo una cosa sola.
Mi rialzo sui pedali ricomincio la fatica
poi abbraccio i miei gregari passo in cima alla salita.
Perché quelli come noi hanno voglia di sognare
io dal passo del Pordoi chiudo gli occhi e vedo il mare,
e vedo te, e aspetto te.

Adesso mi sembra tutto distante,
la maglia rosa e quegli anni felici
il Giro d’Italia e poi il Tour de France,
ed anche gli amici che non erano amici.

Poi di quel giorno ricordo soltanto
una stanza d’albergo e un letto disfatto,
e sono sicuro di aver anche pianto
sono sparito in quell’attimo esatto.

…E ora mi alzo sui pedali all’inizio dello strappo, mentre
un pugno di avversari si è piantato in mezzo al gruppo.
Perché in fondo una salita è una cosa anche normale,
assomiglia un po’ alla vita devi sempre un po’ lottare.
Mi rialzo sui pedali con il sole sulla faccia
e mi tiro su gli occhiali al traguardo della tappa,
ma quando scendo dal sellino sento la malinconia
di un elefante magrolino che scriveva poesie
solo per te, solo per te.

Io sono un campione questo lo so
un po’ come tutti aspetto il domani.
In questo posto dove io sto
chiedete di Marco, Marco Pantani.

The Jam : The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow)

from the single "The Bitterest Pill / Pity Poor Alfie" (1982)



The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow)

In your white lace and your wedding bells
You look the picture of contented new wealth
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me
Out of grey skies to change my misery
The vacant spot, your beating heart took its place
But now I watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room

For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill

The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel any more ill

Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life
Twisted and broken dawn, no days with sunlight
The dying spark, you left your mark on me
The promise of your kiss, but with someone else

For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow
The love I gave hangs in sad coloured, mocking shadows

The bitterest pill is mine to take
If I took it for a hundred years, I couldn't feel anymore ill!

Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American

I'm not alone because the TV's on
I'm not crazy because I take the right pills every day and rest
Clean your conscience
Clear your thoughts with Speyside
With your grain
Clean your conscience
Clear your thoughts with Speyside

Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Tune in, and we can get the last call
Our lives, Our coal
Salt, sweat, sugar on the asphalt
Our hearts littering the topsoil
Sign up, it's the picket line or the parade
Our lives...

I bled the greed from my arm
Won't they give it a rest now?

The Cure - Trust
1992



There's no-one left in the world
that i can hold onto
there is really no-one left at all
there is only you
and if you leave me now
you leave all that we were
undone
there is really no-one left
you are the only one

and still the hardest part for you
to put your trust in me
i love you more than i can say
why won't you just believe?

in a manner of speaking - nouvelle vague

In a Manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Suzanne Vega - The Queen and the Soldier


A Soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
he said "I am not fighting for you anymore"
The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
And slowly she let him inside.

He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill
And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
Only first I am asking you why."

Down in the long narrow hall he was led
Into her rooms with her tapestries red
And she never once took the crown from her head
She asked him there to sit down.

He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young
But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
And now will you tell me why?"

The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
But she closed herself up like a fan.

And she said, "I've swallowed a secret burning thread
It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
He laid his hand then on top of her head
And he bowed her down to the ground.

"Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel
As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
But I won't march again on your battlefield"
And he took her to the window to see.

And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
And she wanted more than she ever could say
But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
And would not look at his face again.

And he said, "I want to live as an honest man
To get all I deserve and to give all I can
And to love a young woman who I don't understand
Your highness, your ways are very strange."

But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
She would only be a moment inside.

Out in the distance her order was heard
And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
The battle continued on

Linkin Park - Valentine's Day

My insides all turn to ash, So slow
And blew away as I collapse, So cold
A black wind took them away, From sight
And held the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
looking so dissatisfied
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

I used to be my own protection, But not now
Cause my path has lost direction, Somehow
A black wind took you away, From sight
And held the darkness over day, That night

And the clouds above more closer
looking so dissatisfied
and the ground below grew colder
as they put you down inside
but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

So now you're gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone

On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day


(I used to be my own protection)
On a Valentine's Day,
(But not now)

On a Valentine's Day

(Cause my mind has lost direction)
On a Valentine's Day,
(somehow)
On a Valentine's Day

(I used to be my own protection)
On a Valentine's Day,
(But not now)
On a Valentine's Day

(Cause my mind has lost direction)
On a Valentine's Day,
(somehow)

Joy Division : Love Will Tear Us Apart

from the single "Love Will Tear Us Apart / These Days" (1980)



Love Will Tear Us Apart

When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

non conosco il concetto di brano seminale, ma non direi che sono sottovalutati: hanno praticamente inventato la musica elettronica.
certo, ad ascoltarli per più di mezzora si rischia una crisi convulsiva: ma probabilmente è un mio problema.  :D

Sottovalutati, nel senso che per quanto importanti, secondo me vengono ancora citati troppo poco in funzione delgli attuali gruppi di musica elettronica. Beh, certo sono loro che hanno sfondato un certo muro, ma se penso ai veri pionieri mi vengono in mente i Silver Apples, spero che non me ne vorriate se oggi bisso, ma penso sia una buona occasione per far ascoltare un pezzo di questi precursori ;) Questo pezzo ha 40 anni tondi tondi 

Silver Apples - Oscillations
1968



Oscillations, oscillations
Electronic evocations of sound's reality

Spinning, magnetic fluctuations, waves of wave configurations
That dance between the poles off sound and bind my world to soul.

I walk the streets of moment. Head down to the ground.
Cars are stars remotely far. My only world is sound.
Passersby are worlds that fly. Far from the dance of time.
Time whirls round from pole to pole and swirls within the sound of

Oscillations, oscillations
Electronic evocations of sound's reality
