POST-IT: ROBERT SMITH NEL PAESE DELLE MERAVIGLIE

Che non si fossero mai incontrati, finora, sembra quasi impossibile, e non poteva che essere una delle storie più dark di tutti i tempi, Alice Nel Paese Delle Meraviglie, a far incrociare le loro strade: stiamo parlando di Tim Burton e Robert Smith. Il leader dei Cure, infatti, su richiesta di un amico, come si legge nel post sul sito ufficiale della band, ha registrato una cover del brano Very Good Advice (già presente nella versione Disney del 1951 del classico di Carroll) per il film girato dal regista americano (in uscita all'inizo del mese prossimo) che verrà inclusa in un album chiamato Almost Alice, che andrà ad affiancarsi alla colonna sonora originale, composta da Danny Elfman. Il disco, al quale partecipano, tra gli altri, anche Franz Ferdinand, Wolfmother ed Avril Lavigne, sarà pubblicato tra un mese esatto, il due marzo.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE DARK OF THE MATINÉE/FRANZ FERDINAND

You take your white finger
Slide the nail under the top and bottom buttons of my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties
And I'm not to look at you in the shoe, but the eyes

So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

I time every journey to bump into you, accidentally
I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
The clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
How you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

So I'm on BBC2 now, telling Terry Wogan how I made it
What I made is unclear, but his deference is and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now
Yes, It's easy now

So find me and follow me through corridors, refectories and files
You must follow, leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
It's better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine
Yes it's mine

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CAN'T STOP FEELING/FRANZ FERDINAND

My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling
And the fun's not fun anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling

And you leave me here on my own
Yeah you leave me here on the floor
You can't feel it
And you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore

Soul boy, down and alone
And his soul is broken again
But you can't stop moving
No you won't stop moving along

My soul starts spinning again
I can't stop feeling
No, I don't stop feeling
And we're not us anymore
I can't stop feeling
No, I won't stop feeling

And you leave me dancing alone
Yeah you leave me to die on the floor
You can't feel it
No you can't feel it
You can't feel it
And you can't feel anymore
Feel anymore, feel anymore
Feel anymore

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: WALK AWAY/FRANZ FERDINAND

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes, I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry
Why don't you walk away?

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least
As old as you are

As you walk away?
As you walk away?
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds a-howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin Smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse Tung
On the back

ALBUM: YOU COULD HAVE IT SO MUCH BETTER (2005)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: NO YOU GIRLS/FRANZ FERDINAND

Oh, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won't meet me
Meet me where your mind won't kiss me
Flick your eyes and mind and then hit me
Hit me with your eyes so sweetly
Oh, you know, you know, you know you that
Yes I love, I mean I'd
Love to get to know you

Do you never wonder?
No, no, no, no you girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel

You girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy

Oh, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, and then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won't meet me
Meet me where your eye won't flick me, uh
Flick your mind and mine so briefly
Oh ya know, ya know ,ya so sweetly
Oh, you know, you know I know that
I love you I mean I
I mean I need to love

Do you never wonder?
No, no, no, no you girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel

You girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy

Sometimes I say stupid things
But I think, well I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels
Oh, how the girl feels

No you boys never care
Oh no, you boys'll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels

You boys never care
You dirty boys'll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels
Oh, how the girl feels
Oh, how the girl feels
Oh, how the girl feels

ASCOLTI: TONIGHT: FRANZ FERDINAND/FRANZ FERDINAND, TO LOSE MY LIFE/WHITE LIES

ULYSSES/FRANZ FERDINAND

Un atteso ritorno, ed una novità assoluta: Franz Ferdinand e White Lies. Tonight: Franz Ferdinand annuncia il terzo capitolo della storia della band scozzese, in uscita a fine mese. Alex Kapranos, in fase di lavorazione, lo aveva definito come un disco più lento, ma al tempo stesso anche più dance dei precedenti. Al primo ascolto, l'impressione è che si tratti di un album più completo e maturo, nel quale l'attitudine rock anni sessanta tipica del gruppo lascia spesso la scena a sonorità diverse: dall'elettronica quasi trance di Lucid Dreams all'elegante brit pop di Live Alone (che ricorda i Pulp di Jarvis Cocker), passando per l'atmosfera eighties di Can't Stop Feeling. Intendiamoci, si tratta di musica decisamente furba, quasi ruffiana, ma proprio per questo estremamente godibile. In più, va detto, Ulysses è davvero un gran singolo.
I White Lies, invece, sono la prima, grande novità annunciata del 2009, se non altro perchè vengono pubblicati dalla Fiction, la prima, storica etichetta dei Cure. Ma per quanto le tinte restino comunque oscure, ed i testi risultino particolarmente cupi, la giovanissima band inglese s'inserisce piuttosto nel solco tracciato dai Joy Division, di recente riportato alla luce con grande successo dagli Interpol prima e dagli Editors poi. Forse Harry McVeigh e compagni non saranno dotati di altrettanto talento, ma meritano comunque un ascolto: i signoli Death e To Lose My Life, grazie al passaparola su internet, sono già dei piccoli cult, ed anche pezzi come A Place To Hide e E.S.T. si lasciano ascoltare con piacere.

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
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
