160 – wonderful life

Ci sono di quelle canzoni che hai ascoltato all’infinito, di cui sai a memoria il testo, ma te le dimentichi chissà perché. E poi basta poco per ricordarle, così, all’improvviso.

On a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night,
Susie meets the man of her dreams.
He says that he got in trouble and if she doesn’t mind
He doesn’t want the company
But there’s something in the air
They share a look in silence and everything is understood
Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand as the rain puts a tear in his eye.

This must be it

Nuovo e particolarissimo video dei Röyksopp.

La canzone, inutile dirlo, è una delle mie preferite di Junior.

Waiting for a beam
To break through here
A chain way vision
All bright and clear

And they talk
And they dance

I was expecting something pure
With a golden hair
Arms full of bracelets
And smoke in the air

And they talk
And they dance

Here comes darkness
Just afternoon
Waiting for a sign
If I survive I’ll worship the moon
Or something
Anything

Chorus
This must be it
Long for bliss
First it was so quiet
Now I know I’m not alone in here
(And they talked,
And they danced)

Two omens collide in my open hand
Making me a viewer
I am what I have seen

And they talk
And they dance

Your hand on my hips
Speak friendly to me
I’ve been studying for years
Patiently
Is this as far as you can take me?

Chorus
This must be it
Long for bliss
First it was so quiet
Now I know I’m not alone in here
(And they talked,
And they danced)

Uprising is here

Uprising è qui. Il nuovo singolo dei Muse tratto dall’album di prossima uscita The Resistance.

The Resistance

[audio:http://www.meornot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/01%20Uprising.mp3]

The paranoia is in bloom, the PR
The transmissions will resume
They’ll try to push drugs
Keep us all dumbed down and hope that
We will never see the truth around

(So come on)

Another promise, another scene, another
A package not to keep us trapped in greed
With all the green belts wrapped around our minds
…and endless red tape to keep the truth confined

(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

Interchanging mind-control come let the
Revolution take its toll if you could
Flick the switch and open your third eye, you’d see that
We should never be afraid to die

(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back, it’s time that
The fat cats had a heart attack, you know that
Their time is coming to an end, we have to
Unify and watch our flag ascend

(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

(So come on)

(Oi) x3
(Oi) x4
(Oi) x4

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious

(So come on)

A chi importa della famiglia da cui vieni?

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running

Waking up
In the midday sun
Whats to live for?
You could see what Ive done
Staring at emotion
In the light of day
I was running
From the things that youd say

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running

I was a boy
At an open door
Why you staring
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure
In the things that you threw
Like a magpie
I live for glitter, not you

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Now Im sitting alone
Im finally looking around
Left here on my own
Im gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind
Im still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed dry

We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you’re young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
Running from running

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.

Peccato per la bassa qualità del file audio. Però trovo la nuova canzone di Mika We are golden, veramente carina, orecchiabile ed assolutamente rainbow.

United States of Eurasia

Così, giusto per dire.

Muse_-_The_Resistance-Blue-MC

I Muse stanno tornando.

Il nuovo album, The Resistance, è atteso per il 14 settembre 2009. E mentre il loro sito si fa un bel restyling, con un giochetto hanno reso disponibile uno dei singoli dell’album: United States of Eurasia, con un po’ influenze: sia letterarie (Orwell?) che musicali (Queen? Chopin?).

[audio:http://www.meornot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Muse-United-States-of-Eurasia-HQ-Full-Song-With-Lyrics.mp3]

You and me are the same,
We don’t know or care who’s to blame,
But we know that whoever holds the reins,
Nothing will change, our cause has gone insane;
And these wars, they can’t be won,
And these wars, they can’t be won,
And do you want them to go on and on and on?
Why split these states, when there can be only one?!
And must we do as we’re told?!
Must we do as we’re told?!

-Instrumental Interlude-

You and me fall in line,
To be punished for unproven crimes,
And we know that there is no one we can trust,
Our ancient heroes, they are turning to dust!
And these wars; they can’t be won,
Does anyone know or care how they begun?
They just promise to go on and on and on
but soon we will see there can be only one…

UNITED STATES!
UNITED STATES of…
Eura-sia! -sia! -sia!
Eura-sia! -sia! -sia!
Eura-sia! -sia! -sia!

(I wanna do) Bad things (with you)

Adoro il montaggio, il mood, la fotografia, il low-fi della sigla di True Blood.

[media id=26 width=500 height=300]

E la soundtrack non è da meno.

Perfetta per quella sigla, perfetta per il telefilm.

I wanna do bad things with you

When you came in the air went out
And every shadow filled up with doubt
I don’t know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you

I’m the kind to sit up in his room
Heart sick an’ eyes filled up with blue
I don’t know what you’ve done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you, okay

When you came in the air went out
And all those shadows there filled up with doubt
I don’t know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you

I wanna do real bad things with you
I don’t know what you’ve done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you
I wanna do real bad things with you

Soldier’s Poem

[audio:http://www.meornot.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/05-Soldiers-Poem.mp3]

Throw it all away
Let’s lose ourselves
Cause there’s no one left for us to blame
It’s a shame we’re all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom

How could you send us all far away from home
When you know damn well that this is all
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom
No I don’t think you do

Theres no justice in the world

Theres no justice in the world

And there never was

Nasce cresce poi finisce e se tradisce ti sarà chiaro che la vita non è un film

Come pesava quello zaino sulle spalle
Per la strada della scuola e la maturità.
Odiavo ogni professore mi illudevo
Fosse una minaccia alla mia libertà.
Ed ogni sera sopra lo schermo
Vedevo eroi della mia età.
E io di certo ero diverso
Ma ci credevo in una vita come al cinema
Ma qui non è così
Non c’è il lieto fine e poi il buono perde.

I tatuaggi fanno male anni dopo che li hai fatti
Ma per quello che ricordano.
Hai visto amici andarsene prima del tempo
E sei sicuro che dall’alto ti proteggano
E intanto aspetti il colpo di scena
Quell’occasione unica
Che ti sistema ogni problema
È lei che ti completerà.
Ma qui non è così
La trama è inconsistente
L’amore non è mai per sempre

Lei diceva “non lo so”
E dopo mi stringeva forte ancora un po’
E diceva di non prenderla così
“Nasce cresce poi finisce”
E se tradisce ti sarà chiaro che
La vita non è un film

Ho il dubbio che la mia generazione
Muova una rivoluzione immaginaria.
Doveva essere un tramonto
E il bene in trionfo alla fine della storia
Ma qui non è così l’immagine è un pò scura
E il domani fa un pò paura.

Lei diceva “non lo so”
E dopo mi stringeva forte ancora un pò
Mi diceva di non prenderla così
“Nasce cresce poi finisce”
E se tradisce ti sarà chiaro che
La vita non è un film.

Ma lei diceva “non lo so”
E dopo mi stringeva forte ancora un pò
Mi diceva di non prenderla così
“Nasce cresce poi finisce”
E se tradisce ti sarà chiaro che
La vita non è un film.
