This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop
These clothes
These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same
You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out
We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain
EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged
A hotline, a wanted add
It's crazy what you could've had

It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I, I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this

It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALLIGATOR AVIATOR AUTOPILOT ANTIMATTER/R.E.M. FEAT. PEACHES

Diretto da LANCE BANGS

I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator
Climbing up the escalator
I feel strong

I feel like an aviator pilot
Thinks you wouldn't buy it
I'm feeling violent
Catch your bleeding eye in
Turn off to flying
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

I feel like an autopilot
I'm the world's strongest island
I feel like a rage coming under my hood
I feel good and calm like a robot would

I feel like an autopilot
I feel like an autopilot
I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

I feel like a contradiction
I'm a walking science-fiction
I don't know which way to turn
I've got a lot to learn
I've got a lot of lot to learn

If I didn't like the way you stared at me
If I didn't like the way you stared at me
I could sideways, I could knock you blind
I could show you found to the lost and find

I am not an agitator
I feel like an agitator
Climbing up the escalator
Hey, hey, alligator, you've got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn

You've got so much to learn
You got a lot to learn

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UBERLIN/R.E.M.

Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions, no collision, no intrusion
My imagination runs away

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

Hey now, take the U-Bahn, five stops, change the station
Hey now, don’t forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand-million people, that’s astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

I don’t mind repeating, I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something
Are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?

I know, I know, I know that this is changing
We walk the streets to feel the ground I’m chasing: ÜBerlin
I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star
I will make it through the day
And then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TEXARKANA/R.E.M.

20,000 miles to an oasis
20,000 years will I burn
20,000 chances I wasted
Waiting for the moment to turn

I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall

Walking through the woods I have faced it
Looking for something to learn
30,000 thoughts have been wasted
Never in my time to return

I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall

All my life
Waiting to fall

40,000 stars in the evening
Look at them fall from the sky
40,000 reasons for living
40,000 tears in your eyes

I would give my life to find it
I would give it all
Catch me if I fall

(Texarkana)

ALBUM: OUT OF TIME (1991)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HOPE/R.E.M.

You want to go out friday
And you want to go forever
You know that it sounds childish
That you dreamt of alligators
You hope that we are with you
And you hope you're recognized
You want to go forever
You see it in my eyes
I'm lost in the confusion
And it doesn't seem to matter
You really can't believe it
And you hope it's getting better

You want to trust the doctors
Their procedure is the best
But the last try was a failure
And the intern was a mess
And they did the same to Matthew
And he bled 'til sunday night
They're saying don't be frightened
But you're weakened by the sight of it
You lock into a pattern
And you know that it's the last ditch
You're trying to see through it
And it doesn't make sense
But they're saying don't be frightened
And they're killing alligators
And they're hog-tied
And accepting of the struggle

You want to trust religion
And you know it's allegory
But the people who are followers
Have written their own story
So you look up to the heavens
And you hope that it's a spaceship
And it's something from your childhood
You're thinking don't be frightened

You want to climb the ladder
You want to see forever
You want to go out friday
And you want to go forever
And you want to cross your DNA
To cross your DNA with something reptile

And you're questioning the sciences
And questioning religion
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
And you want to bridge the schism
A built-in mechanism to protect you
And you're looking for salvation
And you're looking for deliverance
You're looking like an idiot
And you no longer care
'Cause you want to climb the ladder
You want to go forever
And you want to go out friday
You want to go forever

ALBUM: UP (1998)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FRETLESS/R.E.M.

He's got his work and she comes easy
They each come around when the other is gone
Me, I think I got stuck somewhere in between
I wouldn't confide in the prodigal son
The die has been cast, the battle is won
The bullets were blanks, a double aught gun
I couldn't admit to a minute of fun

They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No words spoken, no need to speak

Take it, stomp twice, ring the bell
Tether that ring and phrase
Enough with the rifle and talk already
We all know what it means
Take this conversation to your great divide
I can only swallow what I ate
And I don't hate him
And I don't hate her

They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak

Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone

Reach for each other before you leave
Reach peace with an EAC
Don't threaten me with a gentle tease
Don't threaten me with angry
Please, please, please
Don't try to tell me what I am

They come and they come and they come and they come
I accepted with a gentle tongue
No heart broken, no need to speak

Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me about being alone
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to me

ALBUM: UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD (Soundtrack) (1991)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: POINT ME AT LOST ISLANDS/TIRED PONY FEAT. ZOEY DESCHANEL

By the look in your tempting eyes
You've had enough of these angry skies
I can't wait just like you can't wait
Until we're out past the million gates
Your hands are freezing cold on my face
Just like the winter snow that covers up this place

It's what you wrote in the book's first page
It's what I've hungered for on this stage
The seven worshippers lie back in
So let's just run till we lose our breath

Point me at lost islands
Point me at the sea
I'd love to know the sound
Of nothing else but you

You found the life in me I don't know
Where to go so long but here we are
Standing face-to-face and suddenly
Everything makes sense at least to me

ALBUM: THE PLACE WE RAN FROM (2010)

POST-IT: TIRED PONY

Un nuovo (super) gruppo, ed un album, intitolato The Place We Ran From, presentato come un film: il regista è Gary Lightbody degli Snow Patrol, tra i protagonisti Peter Buck dei R.E.M. e Richard Colburn dei Belle & Sebastian, con dei cameo di Tom Smith (Editors) e Zooey DeSchanel (She & Him). Mi sono iscritto alla mailing list, non si sa mai...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE ONE I LOVE/R.E.M.

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

Fire

This one goes out to the one I love
This one goes out to the one I've left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I love

Another prop has occupied my time
This one goes out to the one I love

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DRIVE/R.E.M.

Smack, crack, bushwhacked
Tie another one to the racks, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby
What if I ride? What if you walk?
What if you rock around the clock?
Tick-tock, tick-tock
What if you did? What if you walk?
What if you tried to get off, baby?

Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby
Maybe you did, maybe you walked
Maybe you rocked around the clock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Maybe I ride, maybe you walk
Maybe I drive to get off, baby

Hey kids, shake a leg
Maybe you're crazy in the head, baby
Ollie, ollie in come free, baby
Hey kids, where are you?
Nobody tells you what to do, baby

Smack, crack, shack-a-lack
Tie another one to your back, baby

Tick-tock, tick-tock

Maybe I drive to get off, baby

Nobody tells you what to do, baby
Hey kids, rock and roll
Nobody tells you where to go, baby, baby, baby

ALBUM: AUTOMATIC FOR THE PEOPLE (1992)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LEAVE/R.E.M.

Nothing could be bring me closer
Nothing could be bring me near
Where is the road I follow?
To leave, leave
It's under, under, under my feet
The sea spread out there before me
Where do I go where the land touches the sea
There is my trust in what I believe

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind

Shifting the dream
Nothing could bring me further from my old friend time
Shifting the dream
It's charging the scene
I know where I marked the signs
I Suffer the dreams of a world gone mad
I like it like that and I know it
I know it well, ugly and sweet
A temper madness with an even extreme
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
I say that I'm a bantam lightweight
I say that I'm a phantom airplane
That never left the ground

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
Leave, leave it
Leave it all behind

Lift me, lift me
I attain my dream
I lost myself
I lost the heartache calling me
I lost myself in sorrow
I lost myself in pain
I lost myself in clarity
Memory, leave, leave

That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me
That's what keeps me down
To leave it, leave it
Leave it all behind

Lift my hands, my eyes are still
I walk into the scene
Lift myself in a different place
Now leavin'
I longed for this to take me
I longed for my release
I waited for the calling
To leave, leave
Leave, leave
Leavin'
leavin'
Leavin'

ALBUM: NEW ADVENTURES IN HI-FI (1996)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FALLS TO CLIMB/R.E.M.

I'll take the position
Assume the missionary part
You work by committee
You had me pegged from the start
I'll be pounce pony
Phony maroney
Pony before the cart
I'll be pounce pony
This ceremony
Only fills my heart
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
A punch toy volunteer
A weakling on its knee
Is all you want to hear
And all you want to see
Romantically, you'd martyr me
And miss this story's point
It is my strength, my destiny
This is the role that I have chosen
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
Why not me?
Gentlemen, mark your opponents
Fire into your own ranks
Pick the weakest as strategic
Move, square off
To meet your enemy
For each and every gathering
A scapegoat falls to climb
As I step forward, silently
Deliberately mine
Who cast the final stone?
Who threw the crushing blow?
Someone has to take the fall
Why not me?
Why not me?
Had consequence chose differently
Had fate its ugly head
My actions make me beautiful
And dignify the flesh
Me I am free
I am free

ALBUM: UP (1998)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE LIFTING/R.E.M.

Grounded 5am
The nitelite is comforting
But gravity is holding you
Once settled into sleep you have watched, on repeat
The story of you life across the ceiling
And in review

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen

Good Morning, and how are you?
The weather's fine, the sky is blue
It's perfect for our seminar

Now close your eyes and start to breathe
All the noise to recede, allow yourself to drift and fly away
But you just stay

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen
Never dreamed
Did you hear the voices calling?
Did you hear the voices calling?
Did you hear the voices calling you?

Locked into the conference room
We're only what our minds assume
And rationale is leaving you
This conceit, these systems of belief your counselor agrees
You've always marked your boundaries
Now you're free
And with relief

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen
Never heard, never dreamed
You've said the air was singing
It's calling you
You don't believe these things you've never seen
Never, never, never

Once you had a dream of oceans and sunken cities
Memories of things you've never known
And you have never known

ALBUM: REVEAL (2001)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: FINAL STRAW/R.E.M.

As I raise my head to broadcast my objection
As your latest triumph draws the final straw
Who died and lifted you up to perfection?
And what silenced me is written into law

I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me
And I turn my head away
If I look I'm not sure that I could face you
Not again, not today, not today

If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow
And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge
There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected
There's a voice in me that says you will not win

And if I ignore the voice inside
Raise a half glass to my home
But it's there that I am most afraid
And forgetting doesn't hold, it doesn't hold

Now I don't believe and I never did
That two wrongs make a right
If the world were filled with the likes of you
Then I'm putting up a fight
I'm putting up a fight
Putting up a fight
Make it right
Make it right

Now love cannot be called into question
Forgiveness is the only hope I hold
And love, love will be my strongest weapon
I do believe that I am not alone

For this fear will not destroy me
And the tears that have been shed
It's knowing now where I am weakest
And the voice in my head, in my head

Then I raise my voice up higher
And I look you in the eye
And I offer love with one condition
With conviction, tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
Look me in the eye
And tell me why

ALBUM: AROUND THE SUN (2005)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LOW/R.E.M.

Dusk is dawn is day
Where did it go?
I've been laughing
Fast and slow
Moving in a still frame
Howling at the moon
Morning found me laughing
Up and down, down
Low, low, low
Night suits me fine
And morning suits me fine
I've been so happy
Way up high, high
In between
Down below
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I said the morning
It isn't your time
Barefoot naked
I can see your lines
It doesn't bother me
That you are right
Your grass is grassy wet
Your light white is bright
Light white, light

I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

You and me
We know about time
We know how things go
They come and go
They live and grow
They pass and go
And glow and glow
Up and down
High and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low, low, low
Low, low, low

I like your hands
All full of glory
All full of glory

POST-IT: IL SUPERGRUPPO DI THOM YORKE

Questa sì che è una notizia: con un post sul Dead Air Space, il sito ufficiale dei Radiohead, Thom Yorke ha reso noto di aver formato una nuova band per suonare dal vivo il suo materiale da solista (l'album The Eraser del 2006 ed i nuovissimi pezzi Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses e The Hollow Earth). Il gruppo, o meglio il supergruppo, per usare un termine in voga qualche anno fa, è composto, oltre che da Thom, da Flea, bassista dei Red Hot Chili Peppers, da Joey Waronker, che ha suonato la batteria con i R.E.M., dal musicista brasiliano Mauro Refosco, e dal fedele amico e produttore Nigel Godrich. Per ora, gli show in programma sono solamente un paio, il 4 ed il 5 Ottobre all'Orpheum Theatre di Los Angeles, e, come ammette lo stesso Yorke, saranno piuttosto brevi dato il numero limitato di brani in repertorio. Ufficialmente la formazione non ha ancora un nome, ma se salvate la foto che accompagna il comunicato ufficiale, scoprirete che il file si chiama 80s Filter...
