Magia pura....

a me non esaltano le canzoni lentissime...
a me non piacciono le canzoni con solo una chitarra acustica ad accompagnare la voce...
a me non piacciono quelle voci appena accennate che sembrano sussurrare invece di cantare...
a me non piacciono le cover in generale..di canzoni poco famose poi....uno deve esprimere le proprie sensazioni,non appropriarsi di quelle di altri...
eppure questa sera sono qui davanti al computer e non riesco a staccare le orecchie da questa canzone...sono giorni che non riesco a staccare le orecchie da questa canzone:IRON AND WINE - SUCH GREAT HEIGHTS,che poi è la cover di questa....che è una canzone che amo troppo..ed allora ho cercato di conoscerlo meglio questo iron and wine ed è finita che non sono riuscito più a staccarmi da questa di canzone:THE TRAPEZE SWINGER..che è 2 volte più lunga e più lenta della precedente,ed è sua...e che dura 9 minuti ed è ancora più sussurrata....ma che,soprattutto,signori, ha un testo di questo livello:
Please, remember me HappilyBy the rosebush laughing With bruises on my chin The time when We counted every black car passing Your house beneath the hill And up until Someone caught us in the kitchen With maps, a mountain range,A piggy bank A vision too removed to mention ButPlease, remember me Fondly I heard from someone you're still pretty And then They went on to say That the pearly gates Had some eloquent graffiti Like 'We'll meet again'And 'Fuck the man'And 'Tell my mother not to worry' And angels with their gray Handshakes Were always done in such a hurry AndPlease, remember me At Halloween Making fools of all the neighbors Our faces painted white By midnight We'd forgotten one another And when the morning came I was ashamed Only now it seems so silly That season left the world And then returned And now you're lit up by the city So Please, remember me Mistakenly In the window of the tallest tower call Then pass us by But much too high To see the empty road at happy hour Leave and resonate Just like the gates Around the holy kingdom With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down' And 'Someone Save Temptation'And Please, remember me As in the dream We had as rug-burned babies Among the fallen trees And fast asleep Aside the lions and the ladies That called you what you like And even might Give a gift for your behavior A fleeting chance to see A trapezeSwing as high as any savior But Please, remember me My misery And how it lost me all I wanted Those dogs that love the rain And chasing trains The colored birds above there running In circles round the well And where it spells On the wall behind St. Peter's So bright with cinder gray And spray paint 'Who the hell can see forever?'And Please, remember me Seldomly In the car behind the carnival My hand between your knees You turn from me And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful But never meant to last'The clown that passed Saw me just come up with anger When it filled with circus dogs The parking lot Had an element of danger SoPlease, remember me Finally And all my uphill clawing My dear But if i make The pearly gates Do my best to make a drawing Of G-d and Lucifer A boy and girl An angel kissin on a sinner A monkey and a man A marching band All around the frightened trapeze swingers Na-naNa-na-naNa-naNa-na...
magia pura.....
