LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE ENEMY/THE RAVEONETTES

Staring at the picture of someone I know I love
You had to part, now you're gone
Cannot sleep at night I toss some time for him to see
We're killing time with myself
You are always there to remind me
Your face if you're never around me
You are always there to remind me
You make me feel like I'm the enemy
I'm the enemy, I'm the enemy
I'm the enemy, I'm the enemy

Wishing for the days that we first met and we moved out
To places where we could die
To places where we could die
You are always there to remind me
Your face if you're never around me
You are always there to remind me
You make me feel like I'm the enemy
I'm the enemy, I'm the enemy
I'm the enemy, I'm the enemy

I'm the enemy, I'm the enemy
I'm the enemy, I'm the enemy

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: OBSERVATIONS/THE RAVEONETTES

To live like other people
I never think I’d do
And see my love I give into this dark
Flowers sing the day time
And this is sure at night
This woman said I’m torn between two lights

Visions of your lover’s holding you some dreadful lights
Wishing they will never be apart
It’s so hard how can I hold on
To someone I can't have
Obsessed with all the things that we could do

Take me on a night drive and take me on again
The quiet trip we’re living it behind
To live like other people
I never think I’d do
And to find someone love me really nice

ASCOLTI: IN AND OUT OF CONTROL/THE RAVEONETTES

Sembra quasi che il suono dei Raveonettes sia passato sotto le mani di un puntiglioso make-up artist: la sensazione al primo ascolto, infatti, è quella che In And Out Of Control metta volutamente l'accento sull'attitudine più pop di Sune Rose Wagner e Sharin Foo, un po' come successe ai Garbage nel 2001 con Beautiful Garbage (Breaking Into Cars, ad esempio, sembra proprio un brano di Shirley Manson e compagni), grazie ad un ricco lotto di singoli potenziali che strizzano l'occhio agli anni '80 come Bang!, Boys Who Rape e D.R.U.G.S. (oltre a Last Dance). Il risultato finale, fatta eccezione per Gone Forever e Break Up Girls! (un pochino meno leccate) è un sound decisamente ripulito da effetti e riverberi rispetto al precedente, ottimo Lust Lust Lust, magari non così sporco e rumoroso, ma anche di minor personalità, seppur sicuramente più facile.

POST-IT: THE RAVEONETTES/LAST DANCE

Ulteriore tappa di avvicinamento al nuovo album dei Raveonettes, In And Out Of Control, in uscita il prossimo 6 di Ottobre: tramite Stereogum è possibile infatti scaricare il primo singolo estratto dal nuovo lavoro di Sune Rose Wagner e Sharin Foo, intitolato Last Dance. Il sound ricorda molto da vicino quello dei singoli del disco precedente, una buona notizia per chi ha apprezzato Lust Lust Lust. In precedenza la band aveva già reso disponibile il download gratuito di 3 pezzi in versione demo, e del brano Suicide nella sua veste definitiva.

LAST DANCE/THE RAVEONETTES

Dopo aver messo a disposizione dei fan alcuni pezzi in versione demo attraverso il sito della loro etichetta, la Vice Records, la band americo-danese rende disponibile il download gratuito di Suicide, un'anticipazione del nuovo album In And Out Of Control (seguito dell'ottimo Lust Lust Lust del 2008), in uscita il 6 di Ottobre. Inoltre, tramite lo store danese di iTunes, è già possibile scaricare (ma a pagamento) il primo singolo ufficiale, Last Dance.

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALY, WALK WITH ME/THE RAVEONETTES

Aly, walk with me in the summer
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk with me in Portland
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walks with me in my dreams
So strange and true
Can I walk with you in Portland
Walk next to you

Aly, walk with me in New York City
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk with me in the summer
Aly, walk with me
Aly, walk right out of my dreams
Into my arms
Aly, walk with me in the city
Aly, walk with me

Aly, step right out of my head
And kiss me goodnight
Aly, walk with me in my dreams
All through the night

ALBUM: LUST LUST LUST (2008)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE BEAT DIES/THE RAVEONETTES

Adored your picture a 1000 times
You still think I was out of line
The meanest thing that I ever did
Was asking you for another hit

The first love you can't escape
The second love feels like rape
A giggly smile nightpale face
I hear you whispering hope he stays

The beat dies silence
Stay here with me
Withe deathly face
I'm in love

They file to lovers sad
We walk from bar to bar mad
The first kiss don't think thereof
The second kiss and you're in love
