LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OBEDEAR/PURITY RING





I came down over the sleeping mountains where
Our white tones plunged into the weeping shelter tower
Our skin up out from the bottom leaves our ankles bare
Don't just wander back and forth and leave it

Build it into pinnacles and shrines of some
Some ghastly predicament in mind you'll find
Leaves us plastered to a bed of hairs
We'll be all coiled up near the bottom with my chest, unbare it

Obedear, the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
Obedear, the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms

Obedear, the sky is low
Watch fluids seem and rid their rudders, oh they'll
Grace it with their wind arrows 'tis in the feathers that
That they branch below, low

Oh my dreams come back to me, back to me, back to
All my wrinkles build on me, build on me, build on

Obedear, the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms
Obedear, the sky is low
Gather up its harm and gods with grateful arms

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LITTLE GIRL/SPIRITUALIZED





Sometimes I wish that I was there
'Cause only living can feeling pain
Sometimes I wish that I could fly
It gets so grounded and life will pass you by

Hey little girl you're on your own
Hear the day and then you're gone
Before we ride into the sun
Get it on

Sometimes your world so full of pain
it gets so hurt inside and drive wise
Sometimes the worlds you gotta say
It gets so trapped inside and fade away

Hey little girl you're on your own
Hear the day and then you're gone
Before we ride into the sun
Get it on

Hey little girl you're on your own
Hear the day and then you're gone
Before we ride into the sun
Get it on
Hey little girl you're on your own
Hear the day and then you're gone
Before we ride into the sun
Get it on

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: EVERY SINGLE NIGHT/FIONA APPLE





Every single night I endure the flight
Of little whims of white flame
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine percolate the mind
Trickle down the spines
Form the belly swelling to a blaze
That's where the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton
Trying to fit beneath the skin
I can't fit the feelings in
Every single night's alive
With my brain

What I say to her
Why'd I say it to her
What does she think of me
That I'm not what I ought to be
That I'm what I try not to be
Has got to be somebody else's fault
I can't get caught
If what I am is what I am
'Cause I does what I does
Then brother get back 'cause my breast gonna bust open
The rib is the shell and the heart is the yolk
And I just made a meal for us both to choke on
Every single night's a fight
With my brain

I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
So I'm gonna try to be still now
Gonna renounce the mill a while
And if we had a double king size bed
We could move in and i'd soon forget
If what I am is what I am
'Cause I does what I does
And maybe I'd relax let my breast just bust open
My hearts made of parts of all that's around me
And that's why the devil just cant get around me
Every single night's alright
Every single night's a fight
Every single fight's alright
With my brain

I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything
I just wanna feel everything

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: KROKODIL/ST. VINCENT





I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

Never had gums for much
Never had fun
Never was much for lives
But you're mine by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

Shut up so I can think
Damn nerves, damn everything
Never was much for love
But you're mine by the shine
Of my bloody teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

And when it starts to sting
Don't worry, gotta be clean
Never was much for sing
But you're mine by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth

I need to bite
Sweet krokodil
I need to bite
Sweet krokodil

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE RIFLE'S SPIRAL/THE SHINS




Diretto da Jamie Caliri

Dead land's collided
You pour your life down the rifle's spiral
And show us you've earned it
Cleric's fog will recede right before your eyes

So long to this wretched form
Down gray eyes on the subway
Long before you were born
You were always to be a dagger floating
Straight to their heart

Listen now we won't tell anyone
But you're gonna tell the world
So life ain't then any fun
May this rail unfurl

As you rise, rise from your burning fiat
Go, go get my suitcase, would you?
You've thoroughly blown their mind
And now I must have passage on the lines
To the veins from your heart

You're not invisible now
You just don't exist
Your mother must be so proud
You sublimate yourself
Drowning us of rich

Primitive mirror on the wall
To fortify your grim resolve
And made the glitz of a shopping mall
Another grain of indigent salt to the sea

Go back to this wretched form
All them gray eyes on the subway
So long before you were born
You were always to be a dagger floating
Straight to their heart

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LAZULI/BEACH HOUSE





In the blue of this night
Where it ends in the light
When you couldn't sleep
You would come for me

Wander eyes, ocean high
And we don't dare slip on by
Make her suffer
Like no other
It's nothing like
Lapis lazuli
Let it go
Back to old me

Like no other you could be replaced
Like no other you could be replaced
Like no other you could be replaced
Like no other you could be replaced
Like no other (it's nothing like)
You could be replaced (lapis lazuli)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ON THE RUN/KAISER CHIEFS





Who got hit and who hit first?
Who was bad and who got worse?
Who got caught up in the life?
Who went down and who got higher?
Who ran back into the fire?
Who was really hypnotised?

And if I didn't believe you then
Then I won't believe you now
And if I didn't believe you then
Then I don't believe you now

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
I'm on the run
We'll ride into the sun

Who was them and who was us?
Who stood up and robbed the bus?
Who is wrong and who decides?
Who went left and who was right?
Who went out on a mischief night?
Who was really hypnotised?

And if I didn't believe you then
Then I won't believe you now
And if I didn't believe you then
Then I don't believe you now

I'm on the run
I'm on the run
I'm on the run
We'll ride into the sun
I'm on the run
We'll ride into the sun

I live for these moments, just like this one
I live for these moments, just like this one
I live for these moments

I live for these moments, just like this one
I live for these moments, just like this one
I live for these moments, just like this one
I live for these moments, just like this one

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BITTERSWEET MELODIES/FEIST




Fotografie di Irina Werner

Whispers in the grass
Under slow dancing trees
Birds are telling me stories
Saying you were meant for me

With their bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back
I can't go on without those
Bittersweet melodies

Weakened kitchen floor
Snow slips under the door
Tiny speakers were singing
Telephone always ringing

With those bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back
I can't go on

I remember us
Before we turned to dusk
Just when these feelings were all about
When we still could trust in our hearts

Bittersweet melody
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melody
Can't go back
I can't go on
Both of us singing that same old song
With those bittersweet melody
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melody
And it seemed oh so wrong
Since those bittersweet melody played for me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOLONG(GODISDEAD)/MONEY





The whip across my back in god’s reign
Who’d have thought he’d die young
And I feel like the one
And I feel like the one its a call
It's the mind will save us all

So long, so long, so long
You could come down
It’s a shame god is dead
It’s a shame you could come down

The cross across my back in the darkness
Who have thought we’d die young
And i feel and i feel and i feel
Like the one its a call
It's the mind will save us all

So long, so long, so long
You could come down
It’s a shame god is dead
It’s a shame you could come down

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MONOLITHS/LOTUS PLAZA





There's no world, and no god
And no hate, and no fun
And no faith, and no god
It's just me, getting high
Hey, somewhere outside
And I wish I could be there
Most of the time

As I give all the clues
And go out of the room
As I gaze down the hall
It's just me, not at all
Hey, somewhere outside
And I wish I could be there
Most of the time

And one of these days, I hope I come around
And one of these days, I hope I come around
And one of these days, I hope I come around
And one of these days, I hope I come around
And one of these days, I'll come around
One of these days, I'll come around
One of these days, I'll come around
One of these days, I'll come around

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ENDLESS BUILD INTO NOTHING/MESITA





Hope it will carry us away
In the endless build into nothing
Light will come to reign again
In the clouds into nothing

On a life value foreign
Greyer shades wait to take us all
Into nothing

There'll be a change of view
And all phases away into nothing

Spaces silence endless build into nothing
Painless hopeless endless build into nothing
All love all time endless build into nothing
Future distance endless build into nothing
Endless build into nothing
Endless build into nothing
Endless build into nothing
Endless build into nothing

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPACE INVADER/ARCTIC MONKEYS





Space invaders flying home
They're going to hit the sack
And they're probably going to die getting high
Cause they're mixing crazy moments with the crack
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
And she'll like so she won't be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
And now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are dead
Come on

It's my big bell bottom cords
And imagine with a hat
And you're a rule breaker baby
Can't you see me standing?
Only you went ahead and sat
And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
And she'll like it so she won't be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
And now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are dead
Come on

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GUN HAS NO TRIGGER/DIRTY PROJECTORS





If you had looked
You might have just seen them
Stretched in the background
You'd see the oceans swell
And the mountains shook
You'd see a million colors
If you really looked
Now quick the night draws near
Her curtain spreads quicker
The safety's off
But the gun has no trigger

If you had looked
You'd be no one's coward
Distance, justice, power
You'd glimpse the password
You wouldn't need the book
You'd own both slave and master
If you just had looked
But now the banks all closed
And nothing gets bigger
The crowd will yell
But the gun has no trigger

If you had looked
You might reconsider
Or just maybe you already have
They watch you sleeping
You watch their garbage cook
You'd weep a bowl of tears
If you had looked
But now the gate comes down
The pangs are growing dimmer
You hold a gun to your head
But the gun has no trigger
