answer me this, can i just sit here and watch the sky?

canzone di un giorno passato.

(da ascoltare seduta sulle rive di un fiume a te caro.)

 

 

the negatives are added but it’s not enough
and if you know the feeling you’ll get beaten up
your voice was carried away.
yeah.
jaw line strong
word swollen tongue
and you can fight off style
you can fight off time
I don’t want to talk about it
here comes our friend the winter
tried to walk to town but
oh I got so lost
can you just answer me
answer me this
can i just sit here and watch the sky?
don’t you know that life can move so slow?
there isn’t any space for love anymore.
and if you know the feeling than you need to go
to the furthest place from your house
stand there a while
make sure you’re broke
and watch the birds fly round
just like the first time
we put leaves upon these tracks
there’s ? deliverance here
reassure reassure me that life won’t leave me behind
the sun is the dates and forges
summer thoughts are deadlines
deadlines

canzone del giorno

dopo un weekend del genere, è l’unica canzone possibile.

tra le tante sentite.

 

canzone del giorno.

il lupo perde il pelo, ma non il vizio.

e quando il vizio si chiama romanticismo, può capitare di rientrare a casa canticchiando canzoni come questa.

we’ll always be together

together in electric dreams.

sono le undici e ventitrè

due novembre.

domani torno a piacenza e mi sentirò come una straniera a casa.

rimane il sottofondo di questa canzone che mi lascia un sapore di ricordo agrodolce in bocca e negli occhi.

non posso parlarne. ma parla di persone che si sono conosciute appena, chissà dove. chissà quando.ma forse si sono trovate, e forse sono rimaste incastrate una negli occhi dell’altra. o forse no.

forse mi sto solo divertendo con voi.

ma rimane la canzone, che è alle ultime note, e una finestra socchiusa non so dove.

forse qui.

i only knew you for a while
i never saw your smile
till it was time to go
time to go away (time to go away)

sometimes its hard to recognise
love comes as a surprise
and its too late
it’s just to late to stay (to late to stay)

[chorus]
we’ll always be together
however far it seems (love never ends)
we’ll always be together
together in electric dreams

because of the friendship that you gave
has taught me to be brave
no matter where i go
i’ll never find a better prize (find a better prize)

though your miles and miles away
i see you everyday
i don’t have to try
i just close my eyes
i close my eyes

canzone del giorno.

spero che i vostri cuori restino forti, perchè il mio l’ho perso. forse dovrei cercare meglio tra le calze sporche.

He met the proud beauty’s at a night club
She couldn’t keep the beat
She wore the proud beauty’s grandma’s prom dress
Raccoon slippers on the proud beauty’s feet

He took a shot o’ somethin’ strong
To make him feel less weak
And so the story goes

There’s somethin’ t’ be said about
Tradin’ stories o’ when ye were 8 years old
He had his first stitches
When he bit an ice cream bowl

She had the proud beauty’s first kiss
In a swimmin’ hole
So the story goes

And the days grew long
And the grog was overflowing
And the lass knew the lass was ‘n love
‘Cause nobody ever hugged the proud beauty’s like that
Hugged the proud beauty’s like that

They moved into a school bus
Just ’cause it seemed like fun
She said, “I like the way yer touch me
It makes me feel like I have no skeleton”

And so the story goes

And I’ve seen photographs
And video tapes
Of that diesel home
That lovin’ place

And ’tis ’bout time
Two mind combined
In such a fine fine way

And may yer lives be long
And may yer wishes all be simple
And may yer hearts stay strong

Tucked ‘n the bed
You see the ghost o’ yer teddy bear
Check under the covers
Just t’ make sure he’s still sleepin’ there

Turn weddin’ gowns into angel clothes
For the baby t’ wear
Turn weddin’ gowns into angel clothes
For the baby t’ wear

She rides him like the state fair
They make love like two solar flares
Carin’ like they really care
That they’re gonna make it

He wants t’ die ‘n the place where
She first said, “I love you”
Spread his ashes with the breath
From the last kiss that the lass blew

They decorate when father lives
They celebrate through hungriness
And ’tis ’bout time two minds combines
In such a fine fine way

And may yer lives be long
And may yer wishes all be simple
And may yer hearts stay strong

canzone per una notte torinese

per un venerdi notte finito il sabato notte successivo.

per le ore che non esistono e quattro persone che ascoltano un vinile in quel limbo di note e secondi.

perchè chiudendo la finestra qualcuno ha sussurrato: ciao, torino.

canzone dell’insonnia.

chi non è mai stato a un live dei port royal non sa cosa si perde. non so se ho già messo questa canzone tra le mie canzoni del giorno. ma è una di quelle che ti da uno schiaffo e ti lascia le impronte per mesi. o anni?

fatto sta che dal terrazzino in cui conservo un angolo di paradiso la ascolto spesso.

sarebbe bello se il terrazzino fosse quello di genova, con una bottiglia di vino e il futuro ancora in forse.

ma genova non c’è più, il caldo e i tramonti sul porto sono finiti.

ma di schiaffi in faccia ne prendo ancora.

are you afraid to dance?

canzone del weekend.

bisogno di spiegazioni?

PATRICK WOLF.

tutti il resto è scontato.e soprattutto così poco glitterato.

canzone del giorno

mi sento senza titolo.

come questa canzone.

solouna postilla: il video è di flora sigismondi.

scusate. l’occasione richiede il testo.

you sigh low tonight
you’re so alone
you’re so
you sigh low tonight
you’re so alone
you’re so
you’re so low
you’re so alone
you’re so
you sigh low
you sigh low
you’re so
(you’re so)

you sigh low tonight
you’re so alone
you’re so
you sigh a lot and fight
you’re so lost
you’re so
you fight so low
you’re so alone
you sigh low
your sighs are low
you’re so

canzone del giorno. del primo giorno di settembre.

questa storia di mettere una sola canzone al giorno mi sta iniziando a infastidire. domenica ne volevo mettere perlomeno 8, oggi potrei arrivare intorno a quella cifra; ieri sono stata colta da un momento di amnesia e mi son scordata la canzone.

beh.

rimedierò.

la canzone di oggi inizia ieri sera, inizia al Pukkelpop e inizia più o meno così:

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see

I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
