ci sono canzoni serenamente devastanti, che ti entrano nel cervello in una giornata e non ti abbandonano più
centinaia di volte l’ho ascoltata, ma oggi mi ha scardinato il cervello più degli altri giorni
Pink Floyd > Dark Side Of The Moon (1973) > Us And Them
Us and them
And after all we’re only ordinary men
Me,and you
God only knows it’s not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat,and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end it’s only round and round and round
Haven’t you heard it’s a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son,said the man with the gun
there’s room for you insideDown and out
It can’t be helped but there’s a lot of it about
With,without
And who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about
Out of the way, it’s a busy day
I’ve got things on my mind
For wants of the price of a tea and a slice
The old man died.
spettacolosa!
uno dei due gruppi `famosi` che ho avuto la voglia di andare a vedere dal vivo … non me ne pentirò mai.
Grande pezzo!!
Mi capita lo stesso fenomeno, ma con un altro brano devastante di quel disco, che mi riaffora ogni tanto fra le sinapsi ossidate: TIME…
“Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun”
(…)
“The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say”
