Only when I stop to think about it…

I Hate Everything About You

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven’t missed you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you

My weakness is that I care too much

It's just… a little crash

Anche se il titolo del post effettivamente non è annoverato nel testo della canzone di questa settimana, ho ritenuto giusto metterlo così vista la natura dell'incidente che ho fatto ieri con un neo patentato (l'inteliggentone senza guardare indietro ha fatto retromarcia piegandomi il paraurti anteriore, un applauso per favore!). In ogni caso ho sempre pensato che questa canzone di Jennifer Paige (ebbene sì, ogni tanto mi posso permettere di sentirmi del pop?) dicesse "crash" invece che "crush". La pronuncia è moooolto simile, ma il significato delle due parole tendo ad esprimere due situazioni completamente differenti. Infatti se il primo viene inteso come una collisione o un impatto effettivo, il secondo può anche significare "infatuarsi", oltre ad annientare, distruggere e polverizzare.
Mi sono fatto una teoria sul perché gl'inglesi abbiano voluto dare questo ambiguo significato alla parola crush ed è questa: da una parte posso dire di essere innamorati di una donna quando in realtà la vorreberò polverizzare, oppure posson dire di stare benissimo con lei quando in realtà gli sta distruggendo i maroni. In ogni caso… gran popolo! Un popolo molto furbo!
Comunque il video non me lo aspettavo così solare… veramente troppo solare. Immaginavo una cosa più alla Sliding Doors o alla City of Angels, mi ha lasciato leggermente deluso.

Crush

Ahh, crush, ahhh

I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
You say the word "forevermore"
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is "maybe"

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll pay loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

Vanilla skies (vanilla skies)
White picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do
Depends on you

Senza Parole

Ma mannaggia a Tiscali… per 4 giorni ci hanno lasciato senza la men che minima linea.
Senza internet e senza telefono… isolati dal mondo…
Vedrò di rimediare la prossima settimana dei giorni in cui avrei potuto scrivere una critica sul film "Notte brava a Las Vegas", una commedia carina (non eccezionale, ma lasciava con il sorriso sulla bocca) intanto posto ciò che avrei dovuto mettere tra lunedì e martedì.



Il 12 di Maggio vi è stato il concerto di presentazione del primo vero CD dei Senza Nome, gruppo di cui fa parte un mio amico dell'università Mirko G. Mazza, chitarrista.
Per coloro che apprezzano il genere Rock sarà una vera scoperta. Della vera musica d'autore, con melodie che ricordano molto i Queen, il Banco del Mutuo Soccorso e altri ancora.
È stato un spettacolo entusiasmante. Incredibilmente sono mancati un po' più di quegli sketch e quel cabaret che avevo già visto in altri loro concerti, ma la musica ha saputo compensare tutto quanto. I miei più sinceri complimenti e auguri a questo gruppo.

He did it all for you

Può darsi che abbia già messo questo gruppo molto tempo addietro con la loro versione di Imagine oppure con la bellissima Passive (colonna sonora del film "Constantine"), ma trovo appropriata per vari motivi la canzone di questa settimana. Vi sembrerà rabbiosa, fredda dura anche per le parole usate, ma provate a sentirla ad occhi chiusi e lasciatevi rapire dalla voce di Maynard James Keenan, dalle melodie di Billy Howerdel (chitarra e voce) e dal ritmo frenetico di Jeordie White (batteria)… non parliamo poi della bravissima e stupenda bassista Paz Lenchantin (foto).

You're such an inspiration for the ways that I will never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you

Fuck your god
Your lord, your christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, never stray, never
Taste of the fruit
Never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you

He did it all for you

Oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you

Pray
To your christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break, never
Choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who
Did this to you
Never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ as if He knows the reasons why
He did it all for you

He did it all for you

He did it all for you

Saette

[…]

Un po' donna e ancora bambina
saette sulla pelle come dardi infuocati

[…]

Tocco assai lieve... appena sfiorare
ma quel brivido... misterioso dolore

Devastantre calore sconvolge la mente
delizioso tepore nelle membra innocente

E... nei capelli sussurri accennati
un voler rifuggire non riuscendo
a capire

Oh!...quel brivido ancora
e riuscivo a mentire

Del tempo è passato e mai ritrovato
vanamente cercato... ambito
mai più assaporato

Ma il cuore ha serbato
oh!... quel brivido sulla pelle
come un marchio lasciato in me bimba ribelle

The surface is so cold

Just So You Know

The surface is so cold
and worthless
All the things that I have
still come from there
So paint your windows
in front of my face
When you know damn
well there is no one behind them

I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
Just so you know

And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams don't seem so tall at all

It's me against the world
still I'm losing ground
I'd kill to taste what it must be like
'cause its every one of my empty parts
That you fill now

I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
I wish your body was not so warm to me
Just so you know

And all it was something beautiful
When tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all
And all it was something beautiful
When tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all

PAUSE!
SILENCE!

Another moment dropped off
Left behind and
hanging still
You won't see me (You)
You won't see me (won't)
You won't see me (see me)
I can't see you (I)
I can't see you (can't)
I can't see you (see you)
(And all it was was something…)

And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all
And all it was was something beautiful
When tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all
