LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ULTRAVIOLET (LIGHT MY WAY)/U2
Sometimes I feel like I don't know
Sometimes I feel like checking out
I wanna get it wrong
Can't always be strong
And love, it won't be long
Oh, sugar, don't you cry
Oh, child, wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
And the day it is dark, as the night is long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Alright now, baby, baby, baby, light my way
You bury your treasure where it can't be found
But your love is like a secret that's been passed around
There is a silence that comes to a house
Where no-one can sleep
I guess it's the price of love
I know it's not cheap
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
I remember when we could sleep on stones
Now we lie together in whispers and moans
When I was all messed up and I heard opera in my head
Your love was a light bulb hanging over my bed
Baby, baby, baby, light my way
Oh, come on, baby, baby, baby, light my way
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, light my way

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: STAY (FARAWAY, SO CLOSE!)/U2
Diretto da WIM WENDERS and MARK NEALE
Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Hey babe, is that what it is
Red lights, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay and the day would keep its trust
Stay and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satelite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay then the day would keep its trust
Stay with the demons you drowned
Stay with the spirit I found
Stay and the night would be enough
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ALL I WANT IS YOU/U2
Video diretto da MEIERT AVIS
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night
You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold
All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you
You
All I want is you
All I want is you
All I want is you

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD/U2
Haven't seen you for quite a while
I was down the hole just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world
I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You, you were acting like it was the end of the world
Love, love, love, love...
In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE FLY/U2
Oh, baby child
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you child
(Love, we shine like a burning star, we're falling from)
A man will beg (the sky)
A man will crawl (tonight)
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
(Love, we shine like a burning star, we're falling from)
A man will rise (the sky)
A man will fall (tonight)
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
(Love, we shine like a burning star
We're falling from the sky, tonight)
(Love, we shine like a burning star, we're falling from)
A man will rise (the sky)
A man will fall (tonight)
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things, if I could I'd rearrange

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: A SORT OF HOMECOMING/U2
And you know it's time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape
On borderland we run
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
A high road
A high road out from here
The city walls are all pulled down
The dust, a smoke screen all around
See faces ploughed like fields
That once gave no resistance
And we live by the side of the road
On the side of a hill
As the valleys explode
Dislocated, suffocated
The land grows weary of its own
Oh come away, oh come away
Oh come, oh come away, say I
Oh come away, oh come away
Oh come, oh come away, say I
On borderland, we run
And still we run
We run and don't look back
I'll be there
I'll be there
Tonight
Tonight
I'll be there tonight, I believe
I'll be there, somehow
I'll be there, tonight
Tonight
Oh come away, I say, say oh my
Oh come away, I say
The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream
Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight
And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance
Don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at last
I am coming home
I am coming home

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN/FRANK SINATRA & BONO
I have got you
Under my skin
I've got you
Deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart
You're really a part of me
I've got you
Under my skin
I have tried so
Not to give in
I have said to myself this affair
Never gonna go so wel
But why should I try to resist
When baby I know so well
That I've got you
Under my skin
I would sacrifice anything
Come what might
For the sake of holding you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
And repeats and it shouts in my ear
Don't you know blue eyes
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
Cause I've got you
Under my skin
I'd sacrifice anything
Come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice
That comes in the night
And repeats and it shouts in my ear
Don't you know you fool
You never can win
Use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time that I do
Just the thought of you
Makes me stop
Before I begin
Cause I've got you
Under my skin
And I love you
Under my skin

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: HELTER SKELTER/U2
When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you
Coming down fast, I'm right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Do you, don't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast now, don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you turn and you stop
And you go for a ride
Then you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you or don't you want me to love you
Coming down fast I'm right here above you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
Ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BEAUTIFUL DAY/U2
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you can lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
The sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me, Take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with the leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: ELECTRICAL STORM/U2
The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night it is aching
Two lovers lying with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breaking
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we'd go swimming out
You're in my mind
All of the time
But I know it's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry
Car alarm
Won't wrench him back to sleep
You're kept awake
Dreaming someone else's dream
Your coffee is cold
But it'll get you through
Compromise
That's nothing new to you
Let's see colours that have never been seen
Go to place's no one else has been
You're in my mind
All of the time
But I know it's not enough
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry
It's hot as hell, honey, in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy, heavy as a truck
Hope the rain will wash away our bad luck
If the sky can crack
There must be some way back
For love and only love
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don't cry

I was born
I was born to be with you
In this space and time
After that and ever after I haven't had a clue
Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
I was born
I was born to sing for you
I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise
Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
Justified till we die, you and I will magnify
The Magnificent

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts

I know a girl who’s like the sea

You can hear the universe in her sea shells
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh, ooh
No, no line on the horizon

She said infinity is a great place to start
Oh oh oh oh
“Time is irrelevant, it’s not linear.”

No, no line on the horizon
No, no line

You put me on pause
I’m trying to rewind
And replay
Every night I have the same dream
I’m hatching some plot, scheming some scheme
Oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh
I’m a traffic cop, rue du Marais
The sirens wailing
But it’s me that wants to get away
Oh oh oh oh, ooh

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS/U2
Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less, but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you're quick, but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others
Some days it all adds up
And what you got is not enough
Some days are better than others
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others
Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy
Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and His mother
Some days are better than others
Some days you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
Some days are better than others
Some days you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
Some days are better than others

ASCOLTI: TWO SUNS/BAT FOR LASHES, NO LINE ON THE HORIZON/U2
GET ON YOUR BOOTS/U2
Bat For Lashes è Natasha Khan. Non un gruppo, quindi, ma una giovane musicista inglese, di origine pakistana. Dopo l'ottimo esordio con Fur & Gold del 2006 ed il tour a supporto dei Radiohead l'anno scorso, ecco il nuovo album, Two Suns. Sin dall'inizio, dalla splendida Glass, una gemma a partire dal titolo, si ha l'impressione di ascoltare una versione moderna di Kate Bush, magari incrociata con Björk, tanto per intenderci. E la formula funziona: dalle sofisticate sonorità eighties di Daniel e Two Planets alla delicatezza di Moon And Moon e Travelling Woman, passando per i cori Gospel di Peace Of Mind, Two Suns si rivela un album maturo e completo, che conferma appieno tutto il talento di Natasha.
Gli U2, invece, non hanno certo bisogno di conferme, ma semmai di ritrovare loro stessi, e sembra proprio questo il punto di fuga dal quale si proiettano le canzoni che compongono No Line On The Horizon: già dalla title-track, e dalla successiva Magnificient, appare infatti evidente il ritorno alle sonorità più classiche della band, dai tipici riff di di Edge (fin troppo fedeli a se stessi) alle melodie di Bono, che ritrova almeno in parte quella certa vocazione all'inno, al coro da arena. E non manca una piccola perla, la conclusiva Cedars Of Lebanon. Ne viene fuori un disco sincero, che magari susciterà un pizzico di nostalgia nei fan della prima ora, ma che appare decisamente migliore degli ultimi due lavori del quartetto irlandese. Sinceramente pensavo peggio...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: I AM THE WALRUS/BONO AND THE SECRET MACHINES
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come
Corporation T-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man, you've been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long
I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob
Mister city, policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crab locker fishwife, pornographic priestess
Boy, you've been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob
Sitting in an English garden, waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the Eggman
They are the Eggmen
I am the Walrus
Goo goo g'joob goo goo g'joob
Expert texpert, choking smokers
Don't you think the Joker laughs at you?
Ho-ho-ho-hee-hee-hee-ha-ha-ha
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man, you should've seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe

To Edmund, Earl of Gloucester
Seek him out
Upon the English party

As duteous to the vices of thy mistress
As badness would desire
What, is he dead?

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GOD PART II/U2
Don't believe the devil
I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I, I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But everytime she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I, I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine
Got a speed-ball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Do you hear what I said?
Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
I, I believe in love
Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's gonna get him
If I don't get him first
Don't believe that rock n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
It spirals and turns
I, I believe in love
Don't believe in the 60's
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
Heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's gonna kick the darkness
Till it bleeds daylight
I, I believe in love
Love
I feel like I'm falling
Like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside of me
With a presence I can feel
I, I believe in love, stop

TAKE BACK THE CITY/SNOW PATROL
Lo ammetto, quando esce un disco particolarmente importante (almeno per me), come il nuovo album dei Cure, divento monotematico. Oggi però ho cercato di forzarmi, ed ho dedicato del tempo agli UNKLE, ed agli Snow Patrol.
Nel 1998, mi trovavo a Londra quasi per caso, proprio nell'estate in cui usciva il primo album degli UNKLE, ed i negozi di dischi infestati dalle sagome degli alieni sbarcati dalla copertina di Psyence Fiction mi fecero una grande impressione. Sarà che oggi piove, ma a distanza di anni, le oscure suggestioni del collettivo musicale di James Lavelle e dell'ultimo End Titles... Stories For Film me le sono proprio godute... Non si tratta di un vero e proprio album, ma di una serie di pezzi idealmente abbinati ad "immagini in movimento", frames di film. Alcuni sono brevissimi, come il minuto dark di Kaned And Abel, altri sono veri e propri brani che vedono, come sempre, la collaborazione di ospiti importanti come Josh Homme (Chemical), il regista Abel Ferrara (Open Up Your Eyes) e Gavin Clark (protagonista di alcune delle cose migliori di questo lavoro, come Cut Me Loose ed Against The Grain). Non è un disco eccezionale, ci sono alcune cose che sembrano esercizi di stile, più che intuizioni davvero interessanti, ma nel complesso un ascolto lo vale, eccome.
A Hundred Million Suns è invece il nuovo lavoro degli Snow Patrol, alfieri della scena rock britannica di basso profilo. Un album solido, godibile, magari non originalissimo (le influenze ci sono e si sentono, dagli U2 ai Coldplay, mentre alcune tracce come Lifeboats e Set Down Your Glass fanno pensare alle ballate di Beck), e forse un po' troppo ripetitivo (il singolo Take Back The City, ad esempio, funziona così bene che Disaster Button ha un ritornello praticamente identico).
Ed ora ricomincio ad ascoltare i Cure...
