LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE NEW/INTERPOL
I wish I could live free
Hope it's not beyond me
Settling down takes time
One day we'll live together
And life will be better
I have it here in my mind
Baby, you know someday you'll slow grow
And baby, my hearts been breaking
I gave a lot to you
I take a lot from you too
You slave a lot for me
Guess you could say I gave you my edge
But I can't pretend
I don't need to defend some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time lying
But I can't pretend
I don't need to defend some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time lying
You're looking all right tonight
I think we should go

CONCERTI: INTERPOL/ATLANTICO/ROMA
SAY HELLO TO THE ANGELS
Ancora Interpol dal vivo (dopo la data dello scorso Novembre a Milano), stavolta in casa, a Roma. Sarà che l'Atlantico (l'ex PalaCisalfa) è più piccolo del PalaSharp, sarà che a Roma suonano per la prima volta da headliners, ma la band newyorkese sembra in ottima forma, e ne viene fuori uno show davvero speciale, tirato, e molto partecipato dal pubblico. La scaletta è grossomodo la stessa, fatta eccezione per qualche pezzo, come Hands Away e The New. Rest My Chemistry, NYC, Slow Hands vengono letteralmente avvolte dall'entusiasmo dei fan, mentre il picco più alto è l'esecuzione di Lights, da brividi. Il bis si apre con Specialist, e si conclude trionfalmente con Obstacle 1. Paul Banks è ispirato e comunicativo, Daniel Kessler come al solito impeccabile nella sua mise, nonostante il caldo infernale dell'Atlantico, e Brad Truax, il nuovo bassista, è discreto ai limiti dell'invisibile ma molto efficace, con buona pace di David Pajo.

Dreams of long life
What safety can you find
See the great unknown
That's shade for miles
Good eye
I'm a good guy
Dreams of long life
What safety can you find
If the sea was that strong
Maybe we had
Maybe we had to fly
Was a good try
I'm a good guy
As high as the day
I read the papers
Before crime will pay
I'll learn to bury most things
I have succeeded
I won't compete for long
I'm not supposed to show you
I've got two secrets
But I only told you one
Dreams of long life
What safety can you buy
If the sea was that strong
Maybe we had
Maybe we had to fly
Somebody make me say no, no
Somebody make me say no, no
Somebody make me say no, no
Somebody make me say no, no, no, yes
I have succeeded
I won't compete for long
I'm not supposed to show you
I've got two secrets
But I only told you one
I'm not supposed to show you
I'm not supposed to
I'm not supposed to show you
I'm not supposed to

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOVE LIFE/JOAN OF ARC
It's so hard to know what's right
For the robot programed to want to be liked
Once life style itself has exploded viral
And all we all require in common is desire
Common sense was once the robots superstition
But singing in the rain, his circuits spark and fire
Anything less than everything remains nothing
When all we all require in common is desire
After the first world war there is no other

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL IN WHITE/THE VACCINES
Break me on the thirty-seventh hour
Tout me, doubt me, show me all of your power
I will watch you rise on my back from the ground
Friend or foe? I don't know
Do you like what you've found?
Beacause I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few
Show we 'low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type
I've known you all my life
I was always wrong, you all in white
Brush my cause aside with little trouble
Oh my god, I think I'm hearing double
I will watch you rise on my back from afar
Friend or foe? I don't know
Now you're up in the stars
But I will one day shine with you
I'll shine on a faithful few
Show we 'low quotations
Have you earned your stripes?
Fabricate salvation
Lord, I know your type

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STILL LIFE/THE HORRORS
Under a sky
No one sees
Waiting
Watching it happening
Don’t hurry
Give up time
Things are the way they have to be
Slow down
Give it time
Still life
You know I'm listening
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time
When you wake up
When you wake up
You will find me
When you wake up
When you wake up
You will find me
Under a sky
No one else sees
Yourself appears in front of you
The sky clears
The sun mends
I'm here
Waiting, what's happening
The moment that you want is coming if you give it time
When you wake up
When you wake up
You will find me
When you wake up
When you wake up
You will find me
When you wake up
When you wake up
You will find me

When you wake up

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: JOSHUA/THE JAPANESE POPSTARS FEAT. TOM SMITH
One more boy running into this world
One more voice got to be heard
All this noise, all this fight
Bury my hair, wait to expire
I need a sign, I need a spark
A human connection illuminate dark
I'll hit the streets
Open my eyes
The chance encounter open to prize
Our behavior moves as an ocean world
Our behavior turns like an ocean
I see motion, I see devotion
A face in the crowd steals my emotion
I'll be your dark, I'll be your pearl
You'll be the sun, and I'll be the world
If just for a moment we play with the notion
We was supposed to read on this pavement
All make your loss, my heart will not fade
Now I don't give a fuck if this world would end
Our behavior moves as an ocean world
Our behavior turns like an ocean
Turns like an ocean
Lot I feel souls on the streets and take her hand
Lot I feel souls on the streets and take her hand

Hypocrite, reader, my double my brother
Your daddy really took it out of you
But did he speak it in tongues?
But did he speak it in tongues?
Sneaking out the windows now
You've got the spirit now
Hypocrite reader, my double, my brother
Where did we lose our way?
It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues
Sneaking out the windows now
You've got the spirit now

And into my world, my world, my world now

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOME IS A FIRE/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE
Diretto da Shepard Fairey and Nicholas Harmer
Sleep, sleep with the lights on
Shutter and shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise, cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
There's nowhere left to go
Watching the room tweak
Through cracks in the concrete
Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Home, home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong
With walls built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong love
They're only so strong love
Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
As yesterday
As yesterday

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WATCHING ME FALL/THE CURE
I've been watching me fall for it seems like years
Watching me grow small, I watch me disappear
Slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
Slipping out the ordinary me into someone else's life
Into someone else's life
There's a thin white cold new moon and the snow is coming down
And the neon bright Tokyo lights flicker through the crowd
I've been drifting around for hours and I’m lost and I’m tired
When a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
Why don't you follow me inside?
Yeah, the room is small, the room is bright
Her hair is black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
Is always young, always young
The night is always young
I’ve been seeing them strip to the bone in the mirror on the wall
Seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
She holds out her hands and I follow her down to my knees
And the sucking inside insatiable smiles
You will forget yourself in me
Yeah, the room is small, the room is bright
Her eyes are black, the bed is white
And the night is always young
And the night goes on and on
And the night is always young
And the night is never over and over and over and over and over
And then it's gone
And then it's gone
Yeah then it's gone
It's a cruel mean cold new day and outside the snow is still coming down
And in the blood red Tokyo bed I watch me coming round
She pulled him down for hours
Deeper than I’ve ever been
And as I fall in the mirror on the wall
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I'm watching me scream
I’ve been watching me go for it must be years
Watching me get slow, I watch me disappear
And one day, I know, I won't come back at all
And always over and over in his ordinary eyes
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall
I'm watching me fall

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DON'T WAKE THE SCARECROW/THE FELICE BROTHERS
Would you love me
If I told you I was born upstream
If I told you I come from money
White money
Would you love me
Would you love me
Well, I was born down
By a bad little river in a poor town
Where an indian-giver put a board out
It said boarding house
Call him scarecrow
He kept whores around
And I'd go there
I'd wait my turn on the broke stairs
And get me the girl with the gold hair
Leave your clothes there
On the folding chair
In that cold room
Your breath would twist just like ghosts do
You said call me Dorothy in red shoes
And the bed moved
The bed moved
The bed moved
Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight
Well, the man would come in
It's hard living right giving head when
The sad days of winter have set in
And the medicine for an addict is heroin
I'd find you there in the bath
We'd cook up your shit in a tin can
And you started calling me tin man
And we started making plans to begin again
Begin again
You saved a C note
Told me you felt like a seagull
Told me to meet at the depot
With the needle
Then maybe we'd go to Reno
Where you'd be my desert dove
And we'd find a way to make better love
Said, baby, that's How the West Was Won
And the blood-red sun
The blood-red sun
And the blood-red
Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight
Well, the man cries
Who gives a damn when a tramp dies?
But I loved you there in the lamp light
With your bare thighs
And the halo of your hair
And all my lifelong
I'll never shake off your siren song
And all of your talk about dying young
With an iron lung and that crazy way
You said, Simon
I think I might stay here with scarecrow tonight
Simon, I think I'm gonna stay here with scarecrow tonight

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TAMER ANIMALS/OTHER LIVES
Solitary motion
In the wake of an avalanche
Deer in the headlights
There goes a weaker one
He's listening in the fast gaze
I don't care now to see the way
Do you hear the silence?
I was far too late
Oh, living for the city
And it's always troubling
To keep it in the hot lane
I don't care about no scenery
And you run from it then, now you can't escape
'Cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing
And it's all you see
And it's all you see
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
Solitary motion
In the wake of an avalanche
We took a hit then
Trying to see if you hold it in
And you run from it then, now you can't escape
'Cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing
And it's all you see
And it's all you see
We're just tamer animals

Leave the story at the shore
In case you thought it done
And yes it is we're so boring
Now surrender with me
'Cause we're walking in our sleep
And won't come around
Hey, put our pistols down
And crawl along the ground
Where we won't
Won't be found
Surrender with me
And bring your violin
And photographs and some black strings
For when you're breaking stones
The only things we know
Are tiger's eyes and lost things
Now surrender with me
'Cause we're walking in our sleep
And won't come around
Hey, put our pencils down
And go back underground
Where we won't
Won't be found
Now surrender with me
'Cause we're walking in our sleep
And won't come around
Hey, put our pistols down
And crawl along the ground

In a flick of the wrist you will not find
The sharp blade that is your mind
And you're the one who's wearing, the end is nigh
Your heart it speeds through the best of times
And we're breaking it now
And you don't really wanna know
You have believed one time
And now you want more
Of what you perceive as life
Is no more than a chore
Never a safe for a right place for ever getting old
We need some room for the wings that we have grown
You're not really listening to me
You're not really listening to me
You're not really listening to me
You're not really listening
You have believed one time
And now you want more
Of what you perceive as life
Is no more than a chore
You don't have what you won't have
You don't have what you don't need
You don't have what you won't have

You have believed one time
And now you want more
Of what you perceive as life

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HANGING FROM A HIT/OKKERVIL RIVER
What this night wants is what it gets
Strung in silken knots
Lit by cigarettes
Flaring side by side with the streets all wet
As the only thing that's bright
And I don't need to cross that bridge
I find I'm swinging or sailing
Over the pit tonight
I'm hanging from a hit tonight
Was wild enough to order up
And toss across my lips
What's making all my tears
Is taking all my fears away
But I don't need to cry
'Cause now I'm clear
A moth that's swerving through the sage
A creature crashing from a cage
A shadow vaporized by a new sun ray
A day she spends the night
And I can hear her sighing
As she's almost asleep on one side
I lie back on my pillow and ask what her husband is like
And she says
I smile polite
And I tip and tithe
And I see the sights
With a well-trained eye
But I come and cry
'Cause I'm too much mine without him
And I lie, reclined
Where the room is quiet
And it's quiet at night
The soft silk is fine
And the waves are white
But the wind has died without him
And I scream my smiles
And I want my wires
And I need my stripes
And I read the lines
Until I lid my eyes,
And I'm losing time without him.
And I ignite inside
And I flash with fire
And I limp from life
And I'm blazing blind
And I'm surging live
And give up my mind
When with him
And then every dream inside turns to flames
Fades to grey and is dying
And the smoke rises into a white, blank, bare, broke-open sky

What you resell and throw away
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change I don't know how
Don't give up on me now
It's not what we do
It's what we do, it's what we feel
Takes all you have to stare it down
And whisper devil no deal
And I don't wanna fight
Don't wanna fight my father's war

I'm wondering, I'm wondering how cruel I've been
New squeeze, unfold my body

We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
Heard don't move unless you know someone you can move
And I bruise just like anyone would bruise
And I know we've got a long way to go
I know I've got so far
We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands and your time and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and rust
I'm gone
You tried to emphasize and side with both your ghosts
In time I swore I'd take the straight and narrow path but still won't
I hold his ear I'm only trying to do my job tonight
Kiss him on top his lips and crucify the fire
We built this house with our hands and our time and our blood
You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust
You built this house with your hands and your time and your blood
We built this up in one day to fall downward and
Never really feel the same
Never gonna be the same
No, it's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same

You build this up in one day to fall downward and rust

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PIRATESS/OKKERVIL RIVER
Who wrote those lines on the wall?
Let's retrace where they scrawled ancient characters
It's 2:00 and your sister's slip falls
And the afternoon crawls across the room and tackles her
I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through
'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess
But I saw inside each small dark eye as it was turning blue
All the strength inside to do just what the captain says and hang the rest
Moved by the rhyme in the psalm
We agreed that it was wrong and to believe in it
Swooned the wall all night long
But a lie is a lie, no matter what guy's breath's in it
I don't know that I would go that far down some dark avenue
With a whispering crew of shadows all protecting it
But I saw inside each small white lie as it was turning true
The ability to do all things expected of it
I don't think that you would sink that ship that's only passing through
'Cause I don't believe that you might be a murderess
Did you hide inside each small white lie before it turning true
The ability to see and to do all the things the captain says
Murderess, in the wilderness
With your victims all around you
Their combined love forms a pool your knife's reflected in
And now I'm read to, with my throat to you
On this mountain, by this moon
What I want the most to do is prove that I'm not like them

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NIKOLA TESLA/8IN8
8in8 è un supergruppo composto da Amanda Palmer, dal suo compagno, lo scrittore Neil Gaiman, da Ben Folds e da Damian Kulash degli Ok Go. Nighty Night è il loro progetto: un'album scritto e registrato in una sola notte.
I met Nikola Tesla in a diner in New York
He was eating cotton candy in the dark
I sat down at his table and I asked him for a light
When his eyes met mine I thought I felt a spark
His glance was like and x-ray and he looked me to the bone
A touch from him my blood began to boil
It was the 24th of March he had a really cute moustache
And then he kissed me in an alley and I felt my insides coil
Nikola Tesla
I wish you’d invent a
Current that could activate my heart
Mysterious gesture
I do not expect you
Come back from 1932
I’ll always burn a light for you
Sweetheart
I’d dreamed of someone like you ever since I was a girl
A mystery man inventing something new
Just a guy with a transformer who could make me something warmer
Who could open up my circuitry and make me someone new
When Edison got angry my Nikola only grinned
And explained that wireless power was the way
He’d overturn thesystem there was no way to resist him
And he kissed me one more time and told me he’d come back one day
Nikola Tesla
I wish you’d invent a
Current that could activate my heart
Mysterious jester
I do not expect you
Come back from 1932
I’ll always burn a light for you
Sweetheart
Edison’s enemy
Man who gave us AC
He’ll always be to me
My little serb
Voice on the radio
I’m looking high and low
Here in the afterglow
Send me a word
So I waited while the valves inside my heart all dimmed and chilled
He had secrets that he stored inside eight chests
And he took his many mysteries and walked off into history
And he left me with a fading sort of feeling in my breast
I’ve been waiting here for decades, just a dusty afterthought
I’ve been waiting for Nikola to come back
It is painful and ironic not to mention electronic
That he’d vanish in a crackle, into air and fade to black
Nikola Tesla
I wish you’d invent a
Current that could activate my heart
Mysterious jester
I do not expect you
Come back from 1932
I’ll always burn a light for you

Give them gift wrapped for the man with everything
Though I lived a lonely life
I was confused
A butcher
I feel nothing
As it courses up my arms
In position of the worms
Up, up through my heart
Into my brain
I'm a big slab a basic combination
Cut out of chopped liver on the block
My hearts still pumping
My hearts still pumping
He's a warrior
A warrior
He's a little bitch coming at him
He's a warrior
A warrior
He's a little bitch coming at him
Coming at him
