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
When I woke up today, the air was very strange I couldn't feel my skin and there was evil in my bones I tried to speak but found that I didn't have a voice It was a prison like the one you would find in the twilight zone
And I feel just like Sigourney Weaver When she had to kill those aliens And one guy tried to get them back to the earth And she couldn't believe her ears
So I was taken or I went towards what was west Where the ground was dead and struvk out at the giant sky The sky was black and filled with tiny silver holes And it was there with the frightened voice that I began to cry out loud
I feel just like Winona Ryder In that movie about vampires And she couldn't get that accent right I neither could that other guy
And I feel just like I am on Jupiter One man looks like rainbows, sure But it doesn't lend itself to life And I haven't finished yet

I was a heavy heart to carry My beloved was weighed down My arms around his neck My fingers laced a crown I was a heavy heart to carry My feet dragged across the ground And he took me to the river Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet My love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall
I'm so heavy, heavy, heavy in your arms I'm so heavy, heavy, heavy in your arms
And is it worth the wait All this killing time Are you strong enough to stand Protecting both your heart and mine Who is the betrayer Who's the killer in the crowd The one who creeps in corridors And doesn't make a sound
My love has concrete feet My love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall My love has concrete feet My love's an iron ball Wrapped around your ankles Over the waterfall
I'm so heavy, heavy, heavy in your arms I'm so heavy, heavy, so heavy in your arms
This will be my last confession I love you never felt like any blessing Whisper it like it's a secret Uttered to condemn the one who hears it With a heavy heart
Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms Heavy, heavy, I'm so heavy in your arms

In december drinking horchata I'd look psychotic in a balaclava Winter's cold is too much to handle Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals
In december drinking horchata Look down your glasses at that orxata With lips and teeth to ask how my day went Boots and fists to pound on the pavement Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on
You'd remember drinkin horchata You'd still enjoy it with your foot on masada
Winter's cold is too much to handle Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on You had it but oh no you lost it Lookin back you shouldn't have fought it
In december, drinkin horchata I'd look psychotic in a balaclava Winter's cold is too much to handle Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals Years go by and hearts start to harden Those palms and firs that grew in your garden Falling down and nearing the rose beds The roots are shooting up through the tool shed Those lips and teeth that asked how my day went Are shouting up through cracks in the pavement
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on You had it but oh no you lost it You understood so you shouldn't have fought it
Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on Here comes a feeling you thought you'd forgotten Chairs to sit and sidewalks to walk on

Your sword’s grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It’s locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it’s done And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun
When I was 17 I had wrists like steel And I felt complete And now my body fades Behind a brass charade And I’m obsolete But if the chance remained To see those better days I’d cut the cannons down My ears are blown to bits From all the rifle hits But I still crave that sound
Your sword’s grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It’s locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it’s done And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun
I heard you play guitar Down at a seedy bar Where skinheads used to fight Your Tokugawa smile And your garbage style Used to save the night You felt the coming wave Told me we’d all be brave You said you wouldn’t flinch But in the years that passed Since I saw you last You haven’t moved an inch
Your sword’s grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It’s locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it’s done And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun
I see you shine in your way Go on, go on, go on
Your sword’s grown old and rusty Burnt beneath the rising sun It’s locked up like a trophy Forgetting all the things it’s done And though it’s been a long time You’re right back where you started from I see it in your eyes That now you’re giving up the gun
In tanti non l'hanno capito, soprattutto quelli che si aspettavano una replica di An End Has A Start, un po' come successe ai Radiohead nel 2000 con Kid A (oggi considerato da molti il miglior disco del decennio...), al posto del quale parecchia gente avrebbe preferito una fotocopia di Ok Computer, ma In This Light And On This Evening è un lavoro decisamente importante, oscuro e monumentalmente anni ottanta a partire dalla copertina, illustrata in stile art decò, fino ad ogni singolo suono dei brani che lo compongono. La produzione di Flood c'è e si sente, il talento degli Editors pure, e Papillon è già il nuovo inno dei dancefloor alternativi. Tra le cose migliori di quest'anno anche Dark Night Of The Soul, il progetto di Danger Mouse con Gli Sparklehorse e l'apporto creativo di David Lynch, ed il ritorno dei danesi Mew, con No More Stories Are Told Today I'm Sorry They Washed Away No More Stories The World Is grey I'm Tired Let's Wash Away. Una menzione, infine, per i vincitori del sondaggio del blog: secondo i (pochi) lettori che hanno votato, l'album più bello del 2009 è Fantasies, dei canadesi Metric.
Un ritornello straripante, di quelli che una volta ascoltati, non si dimenticano più. Dal vivo, poi, è assolutamente dirompente. Il brano che i Depeche Mode non hanno mai scritto. Ma gli Editors sì.

IL VIDEO DELL'ANNO: WRONG/DEPECHE MODE (Patrick Daughters)
L'inquietante video di Patrick Daughters per il brano dei Depeche Mode, che mostra un uomo mascherato e legato al posto di guida di un'auto lanciata nel traffico in retromarcia, sembra quasi l'intro di una puntata di CSI: peccato che non ci sia stato alcun seguito, e soprattutto che nessuno ci abbia svelato il colpevole...
Come successe ad Interpol ed Editors, si sono beccati subito l'etichetta di nuovi Joy Division, ma al di là dei facili paragoni, i giovanissimi White Lies hanno debuttato con un disco di buone canzoni pop dalle atmosfere dark, accuratamente suonato, registrato e prodotto. Il che, al giorno d'oggi, non è affatto cosa da poco.
IL CONCERTO DELL'ANNO: EDITORS + THE MACCABEES + WINTERSLEEP (Roma/Teatro Tendastrisce) 03/12/09
SMOKERS OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL DOORS
Quasi un'insolito quanto apprezzato piccolo festival invernale, quello che si è tenuto lo scorso 3 Dicembre al Teatro Tendastrisce di Roma: tre band di ottimo livello al prezzo (onesto, pergiunta) di una. Wintersleep, The Maccabees, ed infine gli Editors, che hanno portato sul palco il nuovo album In This Light And On This Evening con un'esibizione davvero emozionante, da cantare a squarciagola dal primo all'ultimo pezzo. Molto bello anche il concerto dei Mogwai all'Auditorium, la scorsa estate.
La versione alcolizzata, lo-fi e meno chirurgica di Chuck Palahniuk: Nick Cave, alla sua seconda opera di narrativa, disegna un personaggio comune e straordinario allo stesso tempo. Bunny Munro è ognuno di noi, riflesso nello specchio, la mattina dopo una sbornia presa per dimenticare uno sbaglio.
La somma del cinema di Tarantino, un film sulla guerra senza neanche una vera scena di guerra, a pensarci bene, ma incredibilmente ricco di citazioni (particolarmente gustosa la battuta di Brad Pitt sui combattimenti negli scantinati...) sfumature linguistiche e dettagli feticisti, attraverso il quale il regista riscrive la storia, dando letteralmente alle fiamme il grande schermo.
Ok, il film sarà pure roba da ragazzini, ma la colonna sonora, curata curata dal musicista francese Alexandre Desplat, è da leccarsi i baffi, anche se sporchi di sangue: dai Death Cab For Cutie ai Grizzly Bear, da Thom Yorke agli Editors, dai Muse ai Killers, tutti presenti con brani inediti.
Forse non sarà un'opera indimenticabile, ma l'ultimo disco di Neffa è decisamente godibile, e ricco di melodie interessanti. Ascoltate dal vivo, poi, le canzoni di Sognando Contromano assumono ancora più carattere, scrollandosi di dosso quell'aria un po' troppo leccata che purtroppo molto spesso caratterizza le produzioni del pop made in Italy.

Con il freddo e la pioggia, arriva anche la playlist di Novembre, che inizia e finisce con uno strappo alla regola, una doppietta per gli Editors, decisamente la band del momento: si apre con la title-track dell'album In This Light And On This Evening, e si chiude con il brano incluso nella colonna sonora di New Moon. Nel mezzo The Twilight Sad, Muse, Air, Arctic Monkeys, Thom Yorke...

We can never go home We no longer have one I'll help you carry the load I'll carry you in my arms The kiss of the snow The cranes that move above us Our blood is cold We're alone But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire It will light the way forever
If I say shut your eyes If I say look away Bury your face in my shoulder Think of a birthday The things you put in your head They won't stay there forever Our blood is cold We're alone, love But I'm alone with you
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me to carry the fire It will light the way forever Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Now help me to carry the fire It will light up the way forever
If I say shut your eyes If I say shut your eyes There will mean surprise When I say shut your eyes
Help me to carry the fire We will keep it alight together Help me carry the fire It will light the way forever
Con qualche giorno d'anticipo rispetto alla data di pubblicazione ufficiale (il 20 Ottobre), cominciano a circolare in rete alcune tracce della colonna sonora di New Moon, secondo capitolo della saga di Twilight, tra cui il pezzo di Thom Yorke, intitolato Hearing Damage.
Meet me on the equinox Meet me halfway The sun is perched at its highest peak In the middle of the day Let me give my love to you Let me take your hand And as we walk in the dimming light Oh, darling understand That everything, everything ends That everything, everything ends
Meet me on your best behavior Meet me at your worst For there will be no stone unturned Or bubble left to burst Let me lay beside you darling Let me be your man And let our bodies intertwine But always understand That everything, everything ends That everything, everything ends That everything, everything Everything ends
A window An open tomb The sun crawls across your bedroom A halo A waning moon Your last breath moving through you
As everything, everything ends As everything, everything ends As everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything ends
Meet me on the equinox Meet me halfway The sun is perched at its highest peak In the middle of the day And let me give my love to you Let me take your hand And as we walk in the dimming light Oh, darling understand That everything, everything ends
E se il miglior album dell'anno fosse una colonna sonora? Per farsi un'idea, basta dare un'occhiata agli artisti che faranno parte, con pezzi in gran parte inediti, della OST di New Moon, secondo capitolo della saga dei vampiri di Twilight: Death Cab For Cutie (di cui abbiamo già parlato), Editors, Muse, The Killers, Thom Yorke e tanti altri ancora... Il disco, la cui compilazione è stata curata dal compositore francese Alexandre Desplat, uscirà il prossimo 20 Ottobre, giusto un mese prima dell'arrivo della pellicola nelle sale. Questa la tracklist completa:
01. MEET ME ON THE EQUINOX/DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE 02. FRIENDS/BAND OF SKULLS 03. HEARING DAMAGE/THOM YORKE 04. POSSIBILITY/LYKKE LI 05. A WHITE DEMON LOVE SONG/THE KILLERS 06.

Ma quella di New Moon, non è stata l'unica soundtrack di rilievo ad essere stata svelata nelle ultime ore: il geniale regista americano Wes Anderson (I Tenenbaum, Le Avventure Acquatiche Di Steve Zissou, Il Treno Per Il Darjeeling) ha infatti reso nota la scaletta (curata dallo stesso Alexandre Desplat, che ha scritto anche le musiche originali) delle canzoni che accompagneranno il suo nuovo film, Fantastic Mr. Fox, interamente girato con la tecnica della stop motion. Tra i brani che ne faranno parte, oltre a classici dei Beach Boys e dei Rolling Stones, spicca Fantastic Mr. Fox, aka Petey’s Song, composto appositamente per l'occasione dall'ex leader dei Pulp, Jarvis Cocker. Il cd sarà pubblicato il 3 Novembre, mentre per vedere il film bisognerà aspettare il 27 dello stesso mese.
La band newyorkese ha annunciato l'uscita dell'atteso secondo lavoro, Contra, prevista per il 12 Gennaio 2010 su etichetta XL Recordings (la stessa di Radiohead e Sigur Rós, per intenderci). Il disco segue l'ottimo album di debutto del 2008, intitolato semplicemente Vampire Weekend. Questa è la scaletta:
01 HORCHATA 02 WHITE SKY 03 HOLIDAY 04 CALIFORNIA ENGLISH 05 TAXI CAB 06 RUN 07 COUSINS 08 GIVING UP THE GUN 09 DIPLOMAT'S SON 10I THINK UR A CONTRA
Giocano d'anticipo i Death Cab For Cutie, pubblicando il singolo Meet Me On The Equinox, primo estratto dalla colonna sonora di New Moon, secondo episodio della saga dei vampiri di Twilight, per la quale è stato espressamente scritto. Dell'album, in uscita il 20 Ottobre, faranno parte anche nuovi brani di Thom Yorke, Bon Iver e Muse.
