LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: LIKE A PRAYER/MADONNA

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, oh God, I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

Just like a prayer
Your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me
You are a mystery
Just like a dream
You are not what you seem
Just like prayer
No choice
Your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer
I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: SPECIAL/MEW

You're special
You're like a rocket through me
Oh, you're special
You're a rocket to me
And I cannot this time

Agarina
You can't say no
Agarina
This time you will go

You're special
You're like a rocket through me
Oh, you're special
You're a rocket to me
And I cannot this time

There's a taste that you can't shake
But you can't seem to let them go awry
I know you're special
(What did I say now?)
You're a rocket to me
At this surprised
All the time

I know you said to me
I don't care at the same time
But I'll take you up and down
Address it to you

(Honey bee)
I know you said to me
(I don't look back)
I don't care at the same time
(Singing a song)
And what do you stay to do?
I saw the worst of you

POST-IT: JÓNSI (SIGUR RÓS)/BOY LILIKOI

Un altro impegno parallelo per Jónsi Birgisson, leader dei Sigur Rós: dopo il progetto Riceboy Sleep, realizzato col compagno Alex Somers, ora è la volta del primo disco da solista, intitolato Go, che uscirà il 22 Marzo per la XL Recordings. Attraverso il sito ufficiale jonsi.com si può già scaricare un brano, Boy Lilikoi, cantato in inglese, il cui stile ricorda molto da vicino quello delle tracce più pop dell'ultimo lavoro della band islandese, Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust.

BOY LILIKOI/JÓNSI

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE LETTER/PJ HARVEY

Put the pen
To the paper
Press the envelope
With my scent
Can't you see
In my handwriting
The curve Of my g?
The longing

Who is left that
Writes these days?
You and me
We'll be different
Take the cap
Off your pen
Wet the envelope
Lick and lick it

I need you
The time is running out
Oh baby
Can't you hear me call?

It turns me on
To imagine
Your blue eyes
On my words
Your beautiful pen
Take the cap off
Give me a sign
And I'd come running

It's you
I want you
It's you

ALBUM: UH HUH HER (2004)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BULLETS/EDITORS

If something has to change then it always does
If something has to change then it always does
You don't need this disease, not right now
No, you don't need this disease, not right now

You don't need this disease you don't

If something has to give then it always will
If something has to give then it always will
You don't need this disease, not right now
No, you don't need this disease
Not right now
No, no, not right now

You don't need this disease you don't

Would you fall down
Would you fall down

You don't need this disease you don't
You don't need this disease you don't know
Won't fall down

You don't need this disease you don't

ALBUM: THE BACK ROOM (2005)

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE BIG EXIT/EDITORS

I'm turning in my skin
Alcoholic din, fills the room we're in
Girl, I think it's time we leave
Like a thief on christmas eve
Take and you shall receive

No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside

Won't crowd amongst the shadows
See how much our love grows
Reflected in shop windows
I love you as my blood flows
As the rain ruins my best clothes
you're a secret only I know

No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside

Death at passing hours, dampness of a flower
They took what once was ours

No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside

They took what once was ours

No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask
You already know the way I feel inside

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE BOXER/EDITORS

A bruised full moon play fights with the stars
This place is our prison, it’s cells are the bars
So take me to town, I want to dance with the city
Show me something ugly and show me something pretty

Damn this place, makes a boy out of me
The ring meets my face by the count of three

An unwanted son pulls rank in the sky
The boxer isn’t finished, he’s not ready to die
I’m attracted to the light, I am attracted to the heat
It’s a violent night, there are boxers in the streets

Damn this place, makes a boy out of me
The rain meets my face by the count of three
Damn this place, makes a boy out of me
The rain meets my face, I’m a fallen oak tree

Dazed in the final count
Dazed in the final count
Dazed in the final count
Dazed in the final count

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DRINKING IN L.A./BRAN VAN 3000

Hi, my name is Stereo Mike

Yeah, we got three tickets to the Bran Van concert happening this Monday night at the Pacific Pallisades
You can all dial in if you want to answer a couple of questions, namely, what is Todd's favourite cheese
Jackie just called up and said it was a form of Roquefort
We'll see about that
Give us a ring-ding-ding! It's a beautiful day
Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-a-dinging, want those three Bran Van tickets man
Waddya think? Todd, you there?

I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
When Mike came over with a script surprise
A Mafioso story with a twist
A "Too Wong Foo, Julie Newmar" hitch
Get your ass out of bed, he said
I'll explain it on the way
But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day, and I say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the flavour, the payback will be later, still I need a fix

And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us
As we rode on the ten down to Venice again
Flaring out the G-Funk,
Sipping on a juice and gin
Just me and a friend
Feeling kinda groovy
Working on a movie yeah right
But we did nothing, absolutely butkis that day, and I say
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
With my mind on my money and my money on my beer, beer
I know that life is for the taking, so I better wise up, and take it quick
Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's

Some men there wanted to hurt us
And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
We could see them all bitching by the bar
About the fine line, between the rich and the poor
Then Mike turned to me and said
What do you think we got done son?
We've got a conclusion, and I guess that's something, so I ask you
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?
I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later, still I need a fix.
We need to fix you up, call me Monday and maybe we'll fix it all up

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.
So I ask you:
What the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at 26?

Hell-A-L.A., Hell hell-A-L.A.

POST-IT: SPOON/WRITTEN IN REVERSE

Written In Reverse è il nuovo singolo degli Spoon. E suono molto Spoon, con quegli accordi di piano a scandire la ritmica, il cantanto scanzonato, e tutto il resto.
L'album, Trasference, arriva il 19 Gennaio.

POST-IT: BLUR/NO DISTANCE LEFT TO RUN

Se ne parlava giusto ieri, della reunion dei Blur a Glastonbury, la scorsa estate. Per celebrare l'evento, il 19 Gennaio è prevista l'uscita di un documentario, che verrà proiettato nelle sale cinematografiche britanniche, intitolato No Distance Left To Run, il che non lascia molto spazio ad ulteriori sviluppi: "the Blur years were over", si sente dire nel trailer ufficiale. È arrivata l'ora di farsene una ragione...

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: TOMORROW COMES TODAY/GORILLAZ

Everybody's here with me
We got no camera to see
Don't think I'm not all in this world
The camera won't let me go
And the verdict doesn't love our soul
The digital won't let me go

Yeah yeah yeah
I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today

Stereo I want it on
It's taken me far too long
Don't think I'm not all in this world
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long

Yeah yeah yeah
I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today

POST-IT: GORILLAZ/PLASTIC BEACH

L'attesissimo terzo capitolo della storia della band a cartoni animati ha finalmente un titolo: Plastic Beach, ed uscirà nel corso del prossimo anno. Lo ha rivelato Damon Albarn, aggiungendo di aver assorbito una grande energia positiva dalla reunion dei Blur a Glastonbury, e di aver completamente smesso di bere, all'inizio della scorsa estate.
Chissà cosa dobbiamo aspettarci da questa versione analcolica dei Gorillaz...
