COMUNICAZIONE DI SERVIZIO/RYKJVK SI SPOSTA SU FACEBOOK

Dopo più di quattro anni di onorato servizio, il blog si trasforma in una pagina di Facebook. Per quanto piacevole ed estremamente gratificante, nel corso della seconda metà dello scorso anno questa attività era diventata un peso, quasi come un lavoro vero. E siccome un lavoro vero ce l'ho già, pur se infinitamente meno stimolante, ho deciso di chiudere. L'attività si sposta sul popolare social network, dove postare musica interessante dovrebbe essere più facile e soprattutto meno impegnativo.
Un ringraziamento di cuore a tutti coloro che in questo periodo hanno seguisto questo blog, attraverso il quale sono nate anche delle belle amicizie.
Se volete, vi invito a seguirmi su www.facebook.com/rykjvkblog

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GO ON THROUGH THE DARK/MESITA

Do not go expecting
The whole world to simplify
It's you all verse the world now
To be down's to see another side
You have all the strength that you need
You have all the strength that you need
To go on through the dark
Go on through the dark
Go on through the dark

Onward to the open
And the shadows break to morning light
Leave it all of the baggage
All you need's up on the other side
You have all the strength that you need
You have all the strength that you need
To go on through the dark
Go on through the dark
Go on through the dark

On through the dark
On through the dark
On through the dark
On through the dark

MESSAGGIO DI SERVIZIO

Ci scusiamo per la momentanea interruzione, le selezioni riprenderanno domenica 16 ottobre.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HAWAIIAN AIR/FRIENDLY FIRES

Taking a ride to another clime
Knees in my back 'cause we’re flying high
Did I give it all
I guess I gave it all
Seeing the mountains through the fog
Watching a film with a talking dog
‘Cause if I fall
Then I guess I fall

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

Leaving the world down beneath the clouds
Hawaiian notes, don’t need no pounds
Did I give them all, did I give them all?
Ache in my leg from a broken seat
Skipping the meal for a g & t
‘Cause if I fall
I'm begging not to fall

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

Touching down, hit the ground
(I'm breathing new air)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in
As we land you pinch my hand
(We’re still here)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

Up in the sky Honolulu bound
Steel guitar and a mele sound
Did I give it all, I guess I gave it all
Feeling the shakes keeps me reticent
Stuck in my seat from the turbulence
And if I fall
Then I fall

Breaking open skies and green earths
Around them we float
Deserts in our eyes were falling
Our hearts are not broke

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

Touching down, hit the ground
(I'm breathing new air)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in
As we land you pinch my hand
(We’re still here)
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

As the wheels, hit the ground
I'm breathing hawaiian air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in
As the heat fills my lungs
I'm breathing hawaiian air
Gonna take this all in
Gonna take this all in

Hawaiian air, hawaiian air
Hawaiian air, hawaiian air

ALBUM: PALA (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PRENZLAUERBERG/BEIRUT

So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something

I came through tonight
Just like you
And all this advice has fallen through
I watch and wait as something
I watch and wait as i let more time to decide

And so alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something
So alone I cry but something

(Prenzlauer Berg)

ALBUM: GULAG ORKESTAR (2006)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HE THOUGHT OF CARS/BLUR

Moscow's still red
The young man's dead
Gone to heaven instead
The evening news
Says he was confused
The motorways will all merge soon
Lottery winner buys the moon
They've come to save us
The space invaders are here

He thought of cars
And where
Where to drive to
Who to drive them with
There, there was no-one
No-one

There's panic at London Heathrow
Everybody wants to go
Up into the blue
But there's a ten year queue
Columbia is in top gear
It shouldn't snow this time of year
America's shot
She's gone and done the lot

He thought of planes
And where
Where to fly to
And who to fly there with
And there, there was no-one
No-one

He thought of cars
And where
Where to drive to
Who to drive them with
There, there was no-one
No-one

ALBUM: THE GREAT ESCAPE (1995)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WAKE UP IN NEW YORK/CRAIG ARMSTRONG FEAT. EVAN DANDO

Wake up in New York 
Put a comb through your hair 
Don't you ever want to lie down 
When there's no-one else around 
I want to say this to you

I know I hurt you 
You know you hurt me too 
Don't you ever want to lie down 
Close your eyes and leave the ground
I want to get hold of you

I'll meet you in New York 
By the drugstore on First Avenue
And then we will lie down 
With the buildings all around 
I want to say this to you 
I want to say this to you

ALBUM: AS IF TO NOTHING (2002)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE SHORE/CHAPEL CLUB

I'm having a Billboard time
On this aimless train ride
It seems we spend the best hours of our lives
In flower markets on balconies
Wasted and wanting
More than we've the power to achieve
Hopeless and haunted
By a thousand ghosts of opportunity
Look to the setting sun
There's blood on the water
Nothing will be undone
We're dancing along the edge

You liar, you coward, you snake
He is your lion, your flower, your maker
And yet the night has freed you to reason
You and your noiseless dreams defeat him

I slept long only to wake
And watch the same land tesellate
I dusted for forgotten fingerprints of grace
In every hidden place along the shore
Waiting and wasting
More than I've the power to restore
Hopeless, unsated
One more thief abandoned by the law

You liar, you coward, you snake
He is your lion, your flower, your maker
And yet the night has freed you to reason
You and your noiseless dreams defeat him

Golden-shadowed one, you are your own god
Golden-shadowed one, you are your own god
Golden-shadowed one, you are your own god
Golden-shadowed one, you are your own god

You liar, you coward, you snake
He is your lion, your flower, your maker
And yet the night has freed you to reason
You and your noiseless dreams defeat him
You liar, you coward, you snake
He is your lion, your flower, your maker
And yet the night has freed you to reason
You and your noiseless dreams defeat him
