LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FAMILY TREE/TV ON THE RADIO

Under my love
Wake up to your window
The day calls in billows
It’s echoing moonlight on to the blue nightmare of your heart
In cosy red rainbow
It’s shaking off halos
And the memory of our sacred so and so’s


Oh take my hand sweet
Complete your release and bury your feet
And married we'll be
Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see
They don’t know that we could be
That way your cradle escaped the sea
And your raven haired Mama cought told you so's


Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young


Ah me all mine
Is it safe to say that we’ve waited patiently
Call me on time
And recall the tune that has place us gracefully
All into line
There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you
I'll fall by your side
Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so's


Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young


And now we’ll gather in the shadow of your family tree
In haunted harmony
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young

ALBUM: DEAR SCIENCE (2008)

ASCOLTI: GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT/GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT, WELCOME TO THE NIGHT SKY/WINTERSLEEP

OBLIVION/WINTERSLEEP

Una delle ultime (ma solo in ordine di tempo) cose interessanti dell'anno che sta per finire, ed un'anteprima di quello che sta per arrivare. Uscito nella rete a Novembre (ma nei negozi dal prossimo mese di Gennaio), l'album omonimo della formazione irlandese resta nel solco dell'eccellente produzione dei God Is An Astronaut: le tessiture strumentali coinvolgono, catturano ed emozionano, a partire dalle introduzioni dei brani, che si mantengono costantemente oscure ed intimistiche (con qualche rimando alla new wave dark anni ottanta, come in Zodiac e Shores Of Orion), fino alle esplosive aperture ed ai crescendo finali. Insomma un disco che non tradisce, anche se dopo averlo ascoltato, alla luce dell'esplosione di questo genere di post-rock strumentale (dal manifesto Mogwai alle recenti scoperte ed affermazioni di Russians Circle, The Evpatoria Report, This Will Destroy You), mi chiedo: cosa diventerebbe tutta questa grande musica, se ci fossero anche delle melodie all'altezza? Poi mi rispondo che è per questo che hanno inventato band come i Radiohead.
I Wintersleep arrivano dal Canada, e sono alla loro terza prova. Ascoltando alla radio il singolo che lo anticipa, Weightly Ghost, ho pensato ad un gruppo folk, un po' come i Fleet Foxes, per intenderci. Invece Welcome To The Night Sky, che in Europa uscirà a Gennaio, è un lavoro completo, se vogliamo magari non originalissimo, ma decisamente buono. I riferimenti vanno dai R.E.M. (Astronaut) agli Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Oblivion), passando per gli Okkervil River, mentre la splendida Miasmal Smoke & The Yellow Bellied Freaks cita proprio il post rock degli stessi God Is An Astronaut. Il tutto, però, assemblato con grande cura e con ottime intuizioni. Anche se il 2009 deve ancora cominciare, questo album entra già a far parte della rosa dei migliori dischi dell'anno. Buona fine, quindi, e buon principio.

GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT/GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT
WELCOME TO THE NIGHT SKY/WINTERSLEEP

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE GARDENER/THE DRESDEN DOLLS

Sorry for the setback
I know I let it down
Turn back the clocks and step back
And spring might come around

My little miss forgotten
You're quite a stubborn bud
If we cant make you open
We will take it out in blood

We'll make a man out of you yet
We will plant brambles in your bed
Just close your eyes and count to ten
This is as good as it will get

And there's our little willow weeping
A flutter to your knees
They hung two things before me
Oh the possibilities

Thank you for the warning
But I still see the sun
A little global warming
Never hurt no one

We'll make a man out of you yet
A crown of thorns around your head
Get off your knees and have a look
This is as good as it will get

At last my little flower
Is getting getting put to use
You've always been a failure
But now you're bearing strange new fruit

The insides are all useless
But the rest is fertile soil
I'll take the belt from off the hook
And watch the garden grow

We'll make a man out of you yet
You won't know what will hit you next
The gardener's coming to collect
You wanted love that's what you'll get

The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DOWN FROM DOVER/MARIANNE FAITHFULL

ASCOLTA

I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing
The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover
And time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover

He's been gone so long when he left the snow was deep upon the ground
And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown
And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting's almost over
But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover

My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place
My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face
My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her
That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover

I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me
He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me
He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over
He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from Dover

My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'
Our baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still I hear no cryin'
I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her
And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover

ALBUM: EASY COME EASY GO (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GOD ONLY KNOWS/THE BEACH BOYS

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Ill make you so sure about it

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me

God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows

SULLA CANZONE DEL GIORNO

Perché alcune canzoni ci rimangono sempre nella testa?
Questo fenomeno si verifica con una frequenza e un'intensità molto variabili da individuo a individuo, anche se a tutti è capitato, almeno una volta, di essere osessionati da un motivetto. Non esiste una spiegazione scientifica univoca del perchè accada. Diversi psicologi si sono interessati al problema concludendo che l'area del cervello coinvolta è quella che processa le informazioni verbali, in cui si "incastra" il ritornello della canzone come se il cervello cercasse di completarne le parole o il fraseggio ritmico. Il fenomeno in inglese è detto earworm ("verme dell'orecchio"), dal tedesco ohrwurm, anche se esistono diverse proposte alternative: una di queste è quella del noto neurologo Oliver Sacks, che propone di chiamarlo "involuntary musical imagery" (immagine musicale involontaria). Come liberarsene? Ascoltando una canzone diversa oppure abbandonandosi al tormentone, cantandolo ad alta voce, dall'inizio alla fine, fino a stancarsene.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MAGIC/LADYHAWKE

You came to my show, and i saw you in the crowd
I didn`t know your name, i didn`t know your name
I asked all my friends who you were and your story
They told me the same, they told me the same

I`ve left my heart to you, but it`s not fair
Coz you`re taking me for granted baby
I made a start with you, but it`s not fair
Coz you`re over the atlantic baby
One journey for you but it`s worth it
One life here with me and it`s magic
One journey for you, but it`s worth it
One life here with me and it`s magic

You stayed in my head where i saw you all the time
I didn`t think you care, i didn`t think you care
I found you one day with a mouth full of attitude
And you stole me away, you stole me away

I`ve left my heart to you, but it`s not fair
Coz you`re taking me for granted baby
I made a start with you, but it`s not fair
Coz you`re over the atlantic baby
One journey for you but it`s worth it
One life here with me and it`s magic
One journey for you, but it`s worth it
One life here with me and it`s magic

Coz your over the atlantic baby
And you`re taking me for granted baby
Coz you`re over the atlantic baby

One journey for you but it`s worth it
One life here with me and it`s magic
One journey for you, but it`s worth it
One life here with me and it`s magic

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WEIGHTY GHOST/WINTERSLEEP

I got out of bed today, swear to god I couldn’t see my face
I got out of bed today staring at a ghost
Who forgot to float away, didn’t have all that much to say
Wouldn’t even tell me his own name
Where’d my body go

Where oh where’d my body go?
Africa or Mexico?
Where or where’d my body go?
Where’d my body go?

Have you seen my ghost?
Staring at the ground?
Have you seen my ghost?
Sick of those goddamn clouds

Are you some kind of medicine man?
Cut the demons out of my head
You can’t kill something that’s already dead
Just leave my soul alone
I don’t need no surgery
Take those knives away from me
Just wanna die in my own body
A ghost just needs a home

ALBUM: WELCOME TO THE NIGHT SKY (2009)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ULYSSES/FRANZ FERDINAND

While I sit in here, a sentimental face stares
And a voice says hi so
So what you gotta what you gotta disdain
C’mon let’s get high
C’mon look so, you got next oh
Walk twenty five miles oh
Well I’m bored I’m bored
C’mon let’s get high

C’mon let’s get high
C’mon let’s get high
High

Well I found a new way

C’mon doll and use me
I don’t need your sympathy

La, la la la la
Ulysses
I’ll find a new way
I’ll find a new way, baby

My Ulysses, My Ulysses
No, bet you are now, boy
So sinister, so sinister
Last night was wild
What’s a matter there, feeling kinda anxious?
That heart that grew cold
Yeah everyone, everybody knows it
Yeah everyone, everybody know it
Everybody knows I

La, la la la la
Ulysses
I’ll find a new way
I’ll find a new way, baby

La, la la la la
Ulysses

Well I’ll find a new way, baby oh

Oh, then suddenly you know
You’re never going home
You’re never you’re never you’re never you’re never you’re never you’re never
You’re never going home

Not Ulysses, baby.

You’re not Ulysses, whooo whoo

THE RYKJVK AWARDS 2008

IL DISCO DELL'ANNO: THE AGE OF THE UNDERSTATEMENT/THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS


MY MISTAKES WERE MADE FOR YOU

Ne sono usciti di dischi buoni, quest'anno. Molte conferme, e qualche novità. Personalmente premio un album che racchiude entrambe le considerazioni: la comprova del talento di Alex Turner degli Arctic Monkeys, e la freschezza di un progetto nuovo, seppur dal sapore retrò. The Age Of The Uderstatement, infatti, evoca atmosfere fine anni '60, con quegli arrangiamenti orchestrali che strizzano l'occhio alle colonne sonore di Morricone. Un piccolo, inatteso capolavoro che ha attraversato il 2008 senza clamori, ma lasciando comunque una traccia indelebile.
Da segnalare anche Thigtly Unwound dei Pineapple Thief, sempre all'altezza dei precedenti lavori, Lust Lust Lust dei Raveonettes, ricco di potenziali hit, il ritorno dei Cure, che non tradiscono mai, e la terza prova dei Kaiser Chiefs, ormai una certezza.


LA CANZONE DELL'ANNO: UNDERNEATH THE STARS/THE CURE



Davvero difficile scegliere un brano simbolo di questo 2008: dagli oltre 8 minuti del singolo I Will Possess Your Heart dei Death Cab For Cutie al ritornello onomatopeico di Jungle Drum di Emiliana Torrini, passando per per le atmosfere psichedeliche di Aly Walk With Me dei Raveonettes, fino alla hit perfetta dei Kings Of Leon (Sex On Fire). Ma alla fine scelgo i Cure di Underneath The Stars, la traccia che apre 4:13 Dream, perchè ha tutto: il lungo intro strumentale, la melodia emozionante, il crescendo finale. Ma soprattutto perchè è la canzone dei Cure, quella che in qualche modo ti aspetti, ogni volta che nei negozi arriva un nuovo album della band di Robert Smith...

IL VIDEO DELL'ANNO: HOUSE OF CARDS/RADIOHEAD (James Frost)



Non c'è niente da fare: se nel mondo della musica accade qualcosa di nuovo, ci sono di mezzo i Radiohead. Il video per House Of Cards, infatti, è il primo film di animazione realizzato senza l'ausilio di qualsiasi tipo di videocamera. Le immagini non sono state in alcun modo riprese o catturate, ma realizzate da James Frost direttamente al computer, ed il risultato è decisamente affascinante ed originale.


IL DEBUTTO DELL'ANNO: GLASVEGAS


DADDY'S GONE

Arrivano dalla Scozia, e più precisamente da Glasgow, sono giovanissimi, ed hanno sfruttato appieno il fattore internet per arrivare al successo: sono i Glasvegas, ed il loro disco d'esordio è davvero notevole.


IL CONCERTO DELL'ANNO: SIGUR RÓS (Roma/Auditorium Parco Della Musica) 12/07/08



Il 2008 è stato l'anno della musica dal vivo, straordinariamente ricco di appuntamenti imperdibili: dai Radiohead ai Massive Attack, dai Cure (addirittura due volte) ai Duran Duran, da Björk a PJ Harvey... Ed inoltre Raveonettes, Okkervil River, dEUS, Notwist e tanti altri ancora. Alla fine scelgo i Sigur Rós, perchè il concerto dell'Auditorium di Roma, la scorsa estate, è stato entusiasmante, pirotecnico, incredibilmente intenso.


IL LIBRO DELL'ANNO: NINNA NANNA PER PICCOLI CRIMINALI (Lullabies For Little Criminals)/HEATHER O'NEILL (Mondadori)




Non ci sono dubbi: Ninna Nanna Per Piccoli Criminali è il libro dell'anno. Tenero eppure violento nella sostanza, bellissimo nella forma: ogni singola frase meriterebbe di essere sottolineata. Uno di quei libri che vorresti non finissero mai...


IL FILM DELL'ANNO: IL TRENO PER IL DARJEELING (The Darjeeling Limited)/WES ANDERSON



Anche qui pochi dubbi: Wes Anderson è un genio. Il Treno Per Il Darjeeling diverte e coinvolge, regalando cartoline ad ogni singola inquadratura, dialoghi sublimi e dettagli da feticista. Per non parlare del cortometraggio che lo precede, nel quale Jason Schwartzman ed una splendida Natalie Portman desnuda fanno a pezzi a colpi di battute l'ideale romantico francese. Merita una citazione anche Il Cavaliere Oscuro di Christopher Nolan, uno dei migliori Batman visti al cinema, con un Joker (Heath Ledger, nella sua ultima interpretazione) semplicemente strepitoso.


LA COLONNA SONORA DELL'ANNO: THERE WILL BE BLOOD/JONNY GREENWOOD




L'enfant prodige dei Radiohead, alla seconda prova solista come compositore di colonne sonore, disegna per Il Petroliere di Paul Thomas Anderson scenari musicali in stile vecchio western, ma al tempo stesso assolutamente contemporanei, sottolineando alla perfezione ogni scena della pellicola.


IL DISCO ITALIANO DELL'ANNO: AMEN/BAUSTELLE


BAUDELAIRE

Attesi al varco in vista della definitiva consacrazione, i Baustelle si scoprono radiofonici quel tanto che basta, senza però lesinare in qualità. Ecco quindi una serie quasi ininterrotta di ritornelli perfetti, che fanno di Amen un disco facile per quel che riguarda la melodia, ma comunque ricco di temi interessanti.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TURN/TRAVIS

I want to see what people saw
I want to feel like I felt before
I want to see the kingdom come
I want to feel forever young
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I belong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
So where's the stars?
Up in the sky
And what's the moon?
A big balloon
We'll never know unless we grow
There's so much world outside the door
I want to sing
To sing my song
I want to live in a world where I'll be strong
I want to live
I will survive
And I believe that it won't be very long
If we turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Turn, turn, turn, turn
Turn, turn, turn
And if we turn, turn, turn, turn
Then we might learn
Learn to turn

ALBUM: THE MAN WHO (1999)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE BEAT DIES/THE RAVEONETTES

Adored your picture a 1000 times
You still think I was out of line
The meanest thing that I ever did
Was asking you for another hit

The first love you can't escape
The second love feels like rape
A giggly smile nightpale face
I hear you whispering hope he stays

The beat dies silence
Stay here with me
Withe deathly face
I'm in love

They file to lovers sad
We walk from bar to bar mad
The first kiss don't think thereof
The second kiss and you're in love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PIONEER TO THE FALLS/INTERPOL

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
The soul can wait

Well it is still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

But if it's still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We'll be fine
And supervise

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

And oh, you try
You tried
Straight into my heart
You fly
Straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try
You fly
Straight into my heart
You fly
Straight into my heart
But here comes the fall

So much for make believe
I'm not sold
So much of pain's deceit
I'm not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel
Your heart makes me bold
For always and ever
I'll never let go
Always concealed
Safe and inside
Alive

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke
I pull the black from the grey
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MY DEBT TO YOU/THE PINEAPPLE THIEF

We grow older, older
A little closer, a little closer
And you stay, fallen, fallen
And its too late, its too late, now

Here's my debt to you
I wanted to say I breath for you
But you are a world away, a world away

Left in the same walls, the same walls
Can you see them, can you see them
Left on long wall, long wall
They didn't need to, they didn't need to, for me

So here's my debt to you,
I wanted to say I breath for you
But you are a world away, a world away

So here's my debt to you,
I wanted to say I live for you
But you are a world away, a world away

And I grow older, older
A little closer, a little closer
To you

Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me then you'll get relief
relief, relief, relief

And if I'm gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

Cause I can't face the evening straight
And you can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me then you'll get relief
relief, relief, relief, relief...

It's too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Too much
Too bright
Too powerful

Too much

You've got what I want
You've got what I want
Yeah, you've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want

Oh yeah!
It's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow I swear
She can barely breathe
Don't stare
I know the dress is tight
But it was all I had to wear
Give me what I need
Please share
You know it's only right
And I would never lie to you
I wouldn't dare...

I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't start with anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken in two
Sometimes the only thing to do

Oh no!
It's all coming back
How I came to in a sticky 3 day hole
Didn't see the sign
Go Slow
Too busy tuning static on the radio
She hissed it in a song
"Don't go...
it always fades to black"
But that's why I love the trip, it's so inevitable
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't fall for anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be less than they seem
Whenever you've got what I need

And you've got what I need...
You've got what I need
You've got what I need

AAAIIIIEEE!
For service with a smile
I have to walk in on my hands
and roll for free
You say it's all the same
Ennui...
You're not the real Snow White
The real Snow White is on my knee
I didn't need to get
ID
It's simply minimum height
And getting all dressed up
In seven ways to please
Yeah

I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't stay with anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken one day
If there's no time to get away

Uh oh!
She wasn't made to shine
She was really only ever made to glow
I left her in the dark
No show
Quiet sucking on a line
It was a tricky gun to load
And I didn't get to fire
Hi-Ho!
She's off to work for time
And I should have finished out with higher
Up than low

Yeah, I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't stop with anyone else but...
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made befor right becomes wrong
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want

And you've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want

Oh yeah!
It's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow
I swear

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: POLICY OF TRUTH/DEPECHE MODE

You had something to hide
Should have hidden it, shouldn't you
Now youre not satisfied
With what youre being put through

It's just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And deciding in your youth
On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if youd only lied

It's too late to change events
It's time to face the consequence
For delivering the proof
In the policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

Now youre standing there tongue tied
Youd better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell

Youll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pursue
The policy of truth

Never again
Is what you swore
The time before
Never again
Is what you swore
The time before

But you you speak my language
Yea yes
All around the world everywhere I go
No one understands me no one knows

And they shrug their shoulders
They go what's he talking about
But you you speak my language

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ONCE UPON A TIME/SIMPLE MINDS

And you
Yes you speak to me tonight
And you say so, say so
That once upon a time
When love, love was a white dove
And hope, long live hope, could spin the whole world 'round
I'm talking east to west
I'm talking lost and found
Get up to the mountain top
I'm going to drop unto the ground
That's once upon a time
You raise me up when I know you're around
But God only knows, what God only knows
You lift me up and you spin me around
God only knows, but God only knows
That's time
Time looked around herself
Time got excited
That's when we all got started
Still I hear you, yes still you speak to me tonight
You say then how come out of love, is all this cruelty arising?
Well I said, look, well will you look at you, you're frightened
I see that you smile through weariness
But there is not much else enlightened
Well, that's a question down to time
You life me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
Still you raise me up when I know you're around
God only knows, God only knows
That's time

ALBUM: ONCE UPON A TIME (1985)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NUDE/RADIOHEAD

Diretto da HAMMER & TONGS

Don't get any big ideas
They're not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
And feel up with noise
But there'll be something missing

Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

So don't get any big ideas
They're not going to happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

ALBUM: IN RAINBOWS (2007)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NEW RELIGION/DURAN DURAN

I've been now sauntering
Out and down the path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere, which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs in things
Telling me not there, man, it's no go
Don't go there boy

I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her, don't know how
Too many things, too much to know

Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself,
It's a new religion

Okay, my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself,
It's a new religion

Gotta take pay the saints 'n sinners
In regulation hats 'n scarves 'n things
Walking in formation down the lane,
They carry their cross, make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth,
There lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth that
A man is just a fool

Don't know why this evil bothers me
Take another chance boy, carry the fight,
You can take him if you're fast
So why is he trying to follow me?
Didn't I say if you're holding on
You'd be laughing at the last
How many reasons do they need?
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
I might just believe this time
You're singing out of tune but the beat's in time
And it's us who makes the noise

I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself,
It's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself,
It's a new religion

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SLIDE AWAY/OASIS

Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you, and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Hold me down, all the world's asleep
I need you now, you knocked me off my feet,
I dream of you, we talk of growing old
But you said please don't

Slide in baby, together we'll fly
I've tried praying, but I don't know what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one, that shines with you
In the morning, I don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Let me be the one, that shines with you
And we can slide away, slide away, slide away

Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you, and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Slide in baby, together we'll fly
I've tried praying, and I know just what you're saying to me

Now that you're mine
We'll find a way
Of chasing the sun
Let me be the one that shines with you
In the morning when you don't know what to do
Two of a kind
We'll find a way
To do what we've done
Oh, let me be the one
That shines with you, and we can slide away

Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away
(And I wanna try now, i wanna make you mine now)

I don't know, I don't care, all I know is you can take me there
(Slide away)
Take me there
