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: LOOKING FOR A SIGN/BECK

If I ever think about you
If I ever call your name
I’ll put my empty arms around you
Let them every die away

Looking out for a sign
How can I tell what’s right
Changing my ways to spite myself
'Cause I still want you

If I ran across your picture
If I called you bout to stay
and if I ask someone about you
it’s a habit I can’t break

Looking out for a sign
How can I tell what’s right
Changing my ways to spite myself
'Cause I still want you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WHITE ELEPHANT/LADYTRON

Surrender with me
We're walking in our sleep
And won't come around for you
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
Where we won't
Where we won't
Won't be found

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SWEETER THAN ANYTHING/PJ HARVEY

In photographs
I've seen him laugh
Man overboard
Sun on his back

Summer was here
I remember it well
How he stood in the shade
How we both kissed and fell

How can this be?
There's nothing left here
How can this be?
There's nothing left here

So sad our
So sad our
So sad our
So sad our
Our memory

Now he talks in his sleep
Says I've never known peace
And I don't know him now
He's a stranger to me

How can this be?
There's nothing left here
How can this be?
There's nothing left here

We were never more than a dream
Brief as summer or spring
Sweeter than anything

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: PICTURES OF YOU/THE CURE

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
