LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LEARNING TO FLY/PINK FLOYD

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reel
A fatal attraction is holding me fast
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings
I thought, I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension, that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer
My grubby halo
Avapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation
A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

POST-IT: THE PINEAPPLE THIEF/SOMEONE HERE IS MISSING

I Pineapple Thief hanno un rapporto molto diretto con i loro fan (più che altro con quelli del Regno Unito, a dire il vero, dato che da queste parti, purtroppo, non si vedono praticamente mai), tanto da tenerli informati, oltre che tramite il sito ufficiale, anche mediante dei post su Facebook. E proprio attraverso il social network, hanno reso noto che il nuovo album, Someone Here Is Missing, è pronto. Il disco, che uscirà il 5 aprile per la Kscope, sarà composto da nove pezzi (un brano è stato depennato all'ultimo momento) per un totale di 46 minuti, e la copertina verrà disegnata nientemeno che dagli Storm Studios di Storm Thorgersonw, colui che ha ideato le cover dei dischi più famosi dei Pink Floyd, incluso The Dark Side Of The Moon, oltre ad aver lavorato con i Led Zeppelin, e più recentemente con Muse e Mars Volta.
Inoltre, la band di Yeovil ha appena ripubblicato l'album Little Man del 2006, il primo di una serie che vedrà l'uscita, in versione remixata e rimasterizzata, dei lavori più importanti del gruppo.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND/PINK FLOYD

Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine

You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light
Shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine
