LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MECHANICS OF EMOTION/ELSIANE

Some of us were never contemplating
Or isolating rationality
Some of us were never born the same
We might somehow have been so ignored by this
In many other times you've been my faith
I maybe often found you made my world make sense
Have many of my scars become my pain
Are many more to come
In maybe some other life

You've given me the chance to walk away near
I'm so alone in me, oh never want to tell
You're bringing me the chance to complicate things
I'm so lost in this oh never want to spare
How am I supposed to heal you
And reach your love and reach your love
Why am I so forced to keep you
And reach your love and reach your love

Remembering those times when you were never safe
You're trapped in all the shadows of your pain
But sadly you were never back the same way
I've always tried to bring you life again

How am I supposed to heal you
How am I supposed to reach you
How am I supposed to heal you
How am I supposed to reach you

And reach your love and reach your love however
And reach your love and reach your love forever

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LONGEST DAY/SOULSAVERS FEAT. DAVE GAHAN

I was walking home lonely the other night
I couldn't see a single star in the sky
They must be too high
Shadows dance around me in the dark
Don't stop

This could be the longest day and the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day and the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run

Was eleven years to change what have been lost
One single shot was fired and what a cost
And what a cost

This could be the longest day and the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day and the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run

I wanna run
I better run now
Run as far as I can

This could be the longest day and the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
There's nowhere left to run
This could be the longest day and the night has yet to come
This must be the door to take
I've nowhere left to run

I wanna run
I better run now
Run as far as I can

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MYMA/GIRLS

Oh god I’m tired
And my heart is broken
It’s so hard to feel so alone
And so far, so far from home
And you Myma

Oh god I’m so lost
And I’m here in darkness
I want to see the light of love
I’m looking for meaning in my life
And you Myma

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN/CULTS

I, I can't take things slowly
Come let away that's what they all do
Help me cause I'm feeling shaky
Tell me what's wrong with my brain
'Cause I seem to have lost it

'Cause I am afraid of the light
You know what I mean
And I can't sleep alone at night
You know what I mean

Lonely, that's not quite my problem
I have all I need, haven't quite lost it
I try so hard to be happy
'Cause something goes on once again
Please, please come and save me
Tell me what's wrong with my brain
'Cause I seem to have lost it

'Cause I am afraid of the light
You know what I mean
'Cause I can't sleep alone at night
You know what I mean
'Cause I am afraid of the light
You know what I mean
'Cause I can't sleep alone at night
You know what I mean

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CIRCLE/EDIE BRICKELL & NEW BOHEMIANS

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around 
Me, I think it all depends on you
Touching ground with us but

I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems
And I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye

Everything is temporary anyway
When the streets are wet
The colors slip into the sky
But I don't know why that means you and I are, that means you and I

I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems
And I quit I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems

And being alone is the best way to be
When I'm by myself, it's the best way to be
When I'm all alone, it's the best way to be
When I'm by myself, nobody else can say

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around

ALBUM: SHOOTING RUBBERBANDS AT THE STARS (1989)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TAMER ANIMALS/OTHER LIVES

Solitary motion
In the wake of an avalanche
Deer in the headlights
There goes a weaker one
He's listening in the fast gaze
I don't care now to see the way
Do you hear the silence?
I was far too late

Oh, living for the city
And it's always troubling
To keep it in the hot lane
I don't care about no scenery
And you run from it then, now you can't escape
'Cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing
And it's all you see
And it's all you see

We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals

Solitary motion
In the wake of an avalanche
We took a hit then
Trying to see if you hold it in
And you run from it then, now you can't escape
'Cause it's all you see
But we're all just an end to a simple thing
And it's all you see
And it's all you see

We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals
We're just tamer animals

ALBUM: TAMER ANIMALS (2011)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: MACHU PICCHU/THE STROKES

What if the patience do the test
Open the body on the life for leaves
Living too lonely was a choice
And if it was yours but someone else's voice
Sending everybody to the street
Sending your girlfriend throught the night for cheat
Wearing the jacket, play the meet
See in a letter every more so sweet
And now you fall down

Where's turn the grey
Life in the shame
Violent and cry
The last of USA
Running for the rights
Sleep into the sky
Life is terrifying
The wounds that make you cry

What if the patience do the test
Open the body on the life for leaves
Living too lonely was a choice
And if it was yours in someone else's voice
And now you stick back

Where's turn the grey
Life in the shame
Violent and cry
The last of USA
Running for the rights
Sleep into the sky
Life is terrifying
The wounds that make you cry

Tell us, are you gonna tell us?
And anyone is so jealous
Anybody is so silent

I didn't want to ask you baby
I didn't want you to suffer
And everybody is singing

Why are you waiting?
You're not the one

Life tortured us
And waiting doesn't mind to us
Life could be so truth
Led me for the life we told
And life is a surprise
As we're sit up in the skies
Life is terrifying
As a bitch for you and I

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: CODEX/RADIOHEAD

Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around
Just dragonflies
Flying to our side
No one gets hurt
You've done nothing wrong

Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water's clear
And innocent
The water's clear
And innocent

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OTHER VOICES/THE CURE

Ok, non sarà un vero e proprio canto natalizio, ma tra i brani che citano la parola christmas nel testo, è senza dubbio il migliore che abbia mai ascoltato.



Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
Taking hold
I taste your scent
Distant noises
Other voices
Pounding in my broken head
Commit the sin
Commit yourself
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
Always wrong

Come around at christmas
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
But I live with desertion
And eight million people
Distant noises
Of other voices
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound
So many dead
And all the other voices sing
Change your mind
You're always wrong

ALBUM: FAITH (1981)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BEHIND THE DRAPES/MEW

All of us now
Bent as we fall
To amorous light
We call out

Why are we so alone
Even with company
If not the moon
Will us guide
Will then the street light?

All of us now
Breathe it like smoke
To know what it's like
Breathing to choke
Well for nine days
A small moth has
Tried to escape
Our bedroom

Why are we so alone
Even with company
We are the prey
For each day
A striking distance

Why are we so alone
Even with company
If not the moon
Will us guide
Will then the street light?
Why are we so alone
Even with company
We are the prey
For each day
A striking distance

ALBUM: FRENGERS (2003)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HELICOPTER/DEERHUNTER

Take my hand and pray with me
My final days in company
The devil now has come for me
And helicopters circling the scene

And I pray for rest
Could you pray for us
We know he loves you the best
We know he loves you the best

The lights inside my cave
I’m tired of my ‘cades

These drugs they played on me
These terrible ways
They don’t pay like they used to pay
I used to make it day-to-day

No one cares for me
I keep no company
I have minimal needs
And now they are through with me

Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me
Now they are through with me

ALBUM: HALCYON DIGEST (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL MY LOVE/LED ZEPPELIN

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the light
To chase a feather in the wind
Within the glow that weaves a cloak of delight
There moves a thread that has no end
For many hours and days that pass ever soon
The tides have caused the flame to dim
At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom
Is this to end or just begin?

All of my love
All of my love
All of my love to you now
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love to you now

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet again
One voice is clear above the din
Proud aryan, one word, my will to sustain
For me the cloth once more to spin

All of my love
All of my love
All of my love to you now
All of my love
All of my love
Yes, all of my love to you just

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
His is the force that lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind

All of my love
All of my love
All of my love to you now
All of my love
Yes, all of my love to you now
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love
Love
Sometime, sometime
Sometime, sometime

All of my love
All of my love
All of my love to you now
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love to you now
I get a little bit lonely
Just a little, just a little

ALBUM: IN THROUGH THE OUT DOOR (1979)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DEAD THINGS/EMILIANA TORRINI

You're like me
We're both alone
What's the problem
I don't know
With the same high
The same eyes
But you can't borrow my clothes all the time

Bad things
Dead things
Sad things have to happen
Sometimes

I let the snow
Melt in my mouth
Until my head hurts
Until I'm out
Makes me laugh a bit
Makes me cry
Same way you confuse me all the time

Bad things
Dead things
Sad things have to happen

Bad things
Dead things
Sad things have to happen
Bad things
Dead things
Sad things have to happen
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes

ALBUM: LOVE IN THE TIME OF SCIENCE (2000)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GOOD DAY/THE DRESDEN DOLLS

So you don't want to hear about my good song
You don't want to hear about how I am getting on
With all the shit that I can get done
The sun is in the sky and I am by my lonesome
So you don't want to hear about my good day
You have better things to do than to hear me say

God it's been a lovely day
Everything's going my way
I took out the trash today
And I'm on fire

So you don't want to hear about my good friends
You don't have the balls to take the truth or consequence
Success is in the eye of the beholder
And it's looking even better over your cold shoulder

I'm not suggesting
You get and line me up for questioning
But Jesus think
About the bridges you are burning and I'm betting
That even though you knew it from the start
You'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart

So go ahead and talk about your bad day
I want all the details of the pain and misery
That you are inflicting on the others
I consider them my sisters and I want their numbers

God it's been a lovely day
Everything's going my way
I took up croquet today
And I'm on fire

I picked up the pieces of my broken ego
I have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
But I'd love to have you up to see the place
I'd like to do more than survive
I'd like to rub it in your face

Hey, it's been a lovely day
Everything's going my way
I had so much fun today
And I'm on fire
God it's been a lovely day
Everything's going my way
Ever since you went away
And I'm on fire

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on

I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on
So you don't want to hear about my good day

ALBUM: THE DRESDEN DOLLS (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: YOU WERE A KINDNESS/THE NATIONAL

I was in a fog I didn't notice everything
It's coming all apart inside of me
There wasn't anyway for anyone to settle in
You made slow disaster out of me
There's a radiant darkness upon us
But I don't want you to worry
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Baby you better hurry

You were a kindness when I was a stranger
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
Why would you shatter somebody like me?
It doesn't work that way
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
It doesn't work that way
Don't leave me here alone

I'll do what I can to be confident wreck
Can't feel this way forever I mean
There wasn't any way for anyone to settle in
You made slow disaster out of me
There's a radiant darkness upon us
But I don't want you to worry
I was careful but nothing is harmless
Baby you better hurry

You were a kindness when I was a stranger
But I wouldn't ask for what I didn't need
Everything's weird and we're always in danger
Why would you shatter somebody like me?
It doesn't work that way
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
It doesn't work that way
Don't leave me here alone
It doesn't work that way
Wanting not to want you won't make it so
It doesn't work that way
Don't leave me here alone

Performed live in The Current Studios (2010)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOCIETY/EDDIE VEDDER

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Because when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less, less is more
But if less is more how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make your level drops
Kinda like you're starting from the top
You can't do that

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me
Society, have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me

ALBUM: INTO THE WILD (Soundtrack) (2007)

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: ELEANOR RIGBY/THE BEATLES

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
