ON AIR - brani in ascolto (parte 2)

Una canzone d'amore dedicata a due volpi che, giunte alla fine dei giorni, pensano alla vita passata. E che ce l'hanno fatta.



End of The Game

The fox has done running
And the beast is at bay
We'd run them in circles
By the end of the day
They chased him through brambles
They chased him through the fields
They'd chased him for ever
But the fox would not yield

And some saw her shadow
On the crest of a hill
When the hounds were distracted
Away from the kill

One day we'll reach a great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon
And we'll lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
And be towed by the drag of the moon

We ran through the forest
We ran through the streams
We ran through the heather
'Til we ran in our dreams

You were my lover
And I was your beau
We ran like the river
For what else did we know?

One day we'll reach a great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon

The dogs are all worn out
And the horses are lame
The hunters and hunted
At the end of the game

Our love was a river
A wild mountain stream
In a tumbling fury
On the edge of a dream

They chased us through brambles
They chased us through fields
They'd chased us forever
But the heart would not yield

When the fox had done running
At the end of the day
I'm ready to answer
I'm ready to pay

And this rivers still running
And time will come soon
Carried to the great ocean
By the drag of the moon

Bruce Springsteen - If I Should Fall Behind



If I Should Fall Behind

We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Mary J. Blige, U2 - One

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame

You say one love, one life (one life)
It's one need in the night
One love (one love), get to share it
Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it

Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without

Well it's too late, tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One...

Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head

Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot?
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one, but we're not the same
Well we, hurt each other
Then we do it again

You say
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is the higher law
You ask me to enter
Well then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One...
One love

Un po di rock che piace a me. Davanti all'energia di molti artisti americani, in questo momento sto pensando a Mary J. Blige nel video precedente con gli U2, gli italiani sembrano gomme sgonfie.

Mick Jagger - God Gave Me Everything

Linkin Park - Faint
Questo ed il precedente sono video di Mark Romanek: Il regista di One Hour Photo, per capirci. Con Robin Williams, morto quest'estate. Nano nano

La mia versione preferita del pezzo mitico di Jackie Wilson. Non è per fare la pubblicità al Barça o a Qatar Airways.

Eric Bibb - Higher and Higher

Amy Macdonalds live (ha cambiato il complemento di specificazione)



Jackie Wilson

Sto blurbando le foto degli album di quando ero bambino e quindi sono, come si dice, in mood. In sintonia con quegl'anni.

Four Tops - Baby I Need Your Loving {1966}



Notare il colore dell'NTSC nel 1966. Nel '70 facevo la prima elementare ed una Televisione a colori Grundig da 30 pollici costava l'equivalente di quasi 1.000€ ma aveva un telecomando che potevi cambiar canale dal cortile del condominio. La Volvo 144, per fare un paragone, costava poco di più.

Poi si andava sulla TV svizzera, Capodistria oppure Tele Montecarlo dove alle 17.45 c'erano Jocelyn con la moglie e Awana Gana che facevano "Un peu d'amour, d'amitié et beaucoup de musique".
