    Upon my head, another sea

    Hallo, this is a very raw tentative to do something nice with a set of clips we captured in Barbados through a web cam. Could have a sense, could have not. Don't shoot me.. ;-)
     

    I still haven't found (in the Caribbean)

    Strange things today on the beach. Shake your body baby!

    I made a lot of mistakes

    Sorry fellows, I just have the time to blog something when I find good music. The new experience with Last.FM (http://www.last.fm) is giving me a lot of inspiration and I'm tasting some very good new (maybe not) musicians, like Stevens Sufjan. "Chicago" is a evocative song from the album "Illinois", anyway, all songs are quite nice. Yes, yet another acustic/emotional/crepuscolar chap.. sorry for this. You know, this is a crepuscolar time for me, so please be patient, maybe soon I will switch to root reggae ;-)
     
    I fell in love again
    all things go, all things go
    drove to Chicago
    all things know, all things know
    we sold our clothes to the state
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    I made a lot of mistakes
    in my mind, in my mind

    you came to take us
    all things go, all things go
    to recreate us
    all things grow, all things grow
    we had our mindset
    all things know, all things know
    you had to find it
    all things go, all things go

    I drove to New York
    in the van, with my friend
    we slept in parking lots
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    I was in love with the place
    in my mind, in my mind
    I made a lot of mistakes
    in my mind, in my mind

    you came to take us
    all things go, all things go
    to recreate us
    all things grow, all things grow
    we had our mindset
    all things know, all things know
    you had to find it
    all things go, all things go

    if I was crying
    in the van, with my friend
    it was for freedom
    from myself and from the land
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes

    you came to take us
    all things go, all things go
    to recreate us
    all things grow, all things grow
    we had our mindset
    all things know, all things know
    you had to find it
    all things go, all things go

    you came to take us
    all things go, all things go
    to recreate us
    all things grow, all things grow
    we had our mindset
    (I made a lot of mistakes)
    all things know, all things know
    (I made a lot of mistakes)
    you had to find it
    (I made a lot of mistakes)
    all things go, all things go
    (I made a lot of mistakes)

    The year of the meteors

    Sorry to update just now by moon's blog. A lot of things are happing and not everything it's good.
    This sounds to be a strange year for me, and looking for a sentence to represent it I found a new singer that is terrific: Laura Veirs
    Please listen her new album "The year of the meteors", it is wonderful. So clear and pure, acustic but sounding from deep space.
    Thanks Laura, my life is different now.
     
    Lyrics from "Galaxies"
    When you sing, when you sing
    The stars fill up my eyes
    Galaxies pour down my cheeks
    Galaxies…they flood the street
    Galaxies

    When we dance, when we dance
    Eels and sea grass float on by
    I'm 10,000 leagues beneath the sea
    10,000 leagues…beneath the green
    10,000 leagues

    When we kiss, when we kiss
    Bears and boulders vibrate through the air
    Gravity is dead you see
    No gravity…all I need is beating red
    No gravity…

    Song To Say Goodbye

    You are one of God's mistakes,
    You crying, tragic waste of skin,
    I'm well aware of how it aches ,
    And you still won't let me in.
    Now I'm breaking down your door,
    To try and save your swollen face ,
    Though I don't like you anymore,
    You lying, trying waste of space..

    Before our innocence was lost,
    You were always one of those ,
    Blessed with lucky sevens ,
    And the voice that made me cry .
    My Oh My.

    You were mother nature's son ,
    Someone to whom I could relate ,
    Your needle and your damage done,
    Remains a sorted twist of fate.
    Now I'm trying to wake you up ,
    To pull you from the liquid sky ,
    Coz if I don't we'll both end up ,
    With just your song to say goodbye.
    My Oh My.

    A song to say goodbye,
    A song to say goodbye ,
    A song to say...

    Before our innocence was lost,
    You were always one of those,
    Blessed with lucky sevens,
    And the voice that made me cry.

    It's a song to say goodbye.

    Adesso e mai

    Credo che le ombre
    che vivono nella mia mente
    aspettino e cerchino
    un buco tra le tempie
    da dove poter camminare libere e dirmi che
    ho camminato fino in fondo
    senza che nessuno mi fermasse mai

    Se non resisto mi perderò

    Da dove vengo nessuno nasce
    e le nuvole si fermano
    il cielo ricomincia a piovere
    infinitamente piano
    quasi come se poi l’acqua
    non volesse mai toccarti

    Un mare senza onde
    rimasto solo contro il sole illumina quest’aria che
    respiro lentamente
    e il sangue torna a scorrere dentro di me e sento che
    il dolce suono del silenzio
    ritrova piano le sue possibilità

    Se non resisto mi perderò,
    se non resisto mi perderò

    E dove vado non c’è confine
    e le nuvole si muovono
    il cielo ricomincia a splendere
    infinitamente chiaro
    quasi come se la notte non potesse mai raggiungerlo
    tracce impercettibili
    di tempo che non ha confini adesso e mai

    A Love From Outer Space

    She loves me she loves me she loves me
    A love from outer space
    She loves me she loves me she loves me
    A love from outer space
    She loves me she loves me she loves me
    A love from outer space
    A love from outer space
    It's true oh

    I know where she's coming from
    Space is where we both belong
    Got to tell her in this song
    This time nothing can go wrong (X2)

    Take a ticket to ride the space express
    Meet the girl in the starstruck dress
    She trusts me more than I can never guess
    I just couldn't wait for her caress
    She comes from the milky way
    She came to earth for my birthday
    We worked out hard to communicate
    She said I am not a fake

    Shalalalalalala hoo (X4)

    She loves me she loves me she loves me
    A love from outer space

    Le funzioni dell'attesa

    Tutti presi in una corsa frenetica per fuggire dalla solitudine!Passo svelto e sguardo divaricato...e che la caccia abbia inizio,ignari del fatto che quello è il nostro destino è inesorabile,saremo sempre soli in fondo:le amicizie sono sempre più fittizie e l'amore(se esiste),non dura mai abbastanza!Si passa più tempo a cercare di non perdere l'altra persona,consapevoli di aver trovato cosa rara,che a vivere a pieno i momenti che potrebbero diventare ricordi.La prova tangibile del fatto che siamo destinati a restare soli è la nostra capacità di andare a cercare là dove sappiamo di non poter trovare,quasi come se avessimo paura di essere felici,sfuggiamo dalle persone che ci desiderano più d'ogni altra cosa perchè così è troppo facile e siamo attratti in maniera malata da coloro che di natura sarebbero(e il più delle volte lo sono davvero)irraggiungibili.La conquista,il corteggiamento,i sguardi,le danze...tutto è in funzione della stessa cosa ovvero la paura di essere soli e vi dirò in un certo senso ci proviamo gusto..vi faccio un esempio:
    vi capita mai di ascoltare ripetutamente una canzone che provoca in voi un senso di tristezza,di malinconia?Eppure malgrado ciò poggiate il ditino su "repete" e questo perchè in mezzo a tutto il dolore che provate sentite una leggera e impercettibile nota di piacere sadico(la canzone è triste ma è bellissima).Non vi so dire se c'è una soluzione ad una consapevolezza del genere,ma fino ad ora i tentativi sono stati invani ed io ho scelto così,di lasciarmi andare(almeno per ora)allo scorrere degli eventi lasciando che mi attraversino la nuca,anche perchè se sei bloccato nelle sabbie mobili,più ti muovi e più vai giù!E così aspettiamo che le cose accadano,spettatori inermi di uno spettacolo che sta per avere inizio,ma ancora non è iniziato,seduti sui gradoni di uno stadio enorme che potrebbe contenere milioni di persone eppure ne ospita una sola...si accendono i riflettori e sul palco nn sale ancora nessuno...ma noi aspettiamo!

    How many times must I lose my way?


    What does this ship bring to me
    Far across the restless sea
    Waiting for the sirens call
    I've never seen it here before

    There she ?? the lonely trail
    Getting through the breaking winds
    Drifting slowly from the coast
    She is lost forever more

    We all want some kind of love
    But sometimes it's not enough
    To the wall and through the door
    With a stranger on the shore

    I won't desert you
    I don't know what to say
    I really hurt you
    I nearly gave it all the way

    I've got it all
    Cause you were not the one
    I don't know where to turn when you're gone
    When you're gone

    Gotta catch the midnight train
    First to Paris then to Spain
    Travel with a document
    All across the continent

    City life is flying by
    The wheels are turning all around
    Get on board we can't be late
    Our destination cannot wait

    All the stars and all the worlds
    Filling up this universe
    Can never be as close as us
    We never shine as bright or??

    I won't desert you
    I don't know what to say
    I really hurt you
    I nearly gave it all the way

    I've got it all
    Cause you were not the wrong one
    I don't know where to turn when you're gone
    When you're gone

    I won't desert you
    I don't know what to say
    I really hurt you
    I nearly gave it all the way

    I've got it all
    Cause you were not the one
    I don't know where to turn when you're gone
    When you're gone

    How many times must I lose my way, hey
    How many words do I have to say, hey
    What can I do just to make you see
    That you're so good for a man like
    A man like me

    Arrivederci Democracy

    "Questa settimana la Russia ha assunto la presidenza del più prestigioso club dei paesi industrializzati e democratici che guidano il mondo. Ma molti contestano che la Russia sia adatta a dirigere e perfino a partecipare al Gruppo degli Otto grandi. La Cina per esempio non è stata invitata a entrarvi nonostante che la sua economia sia la seconda del mondo, perché non passa il test della democrazia. L'arretramento democratico della Russia ha spinto i senatori John McCain (Repubblicano) e Joe Lieberman (Democratico) a introdurre una proposta di legge che spingerebbe Bush a sospendere la Russia dal G-8 finché il Presidente Vladimir Putin "cessa il suo assalto alla democrazia e alla libertà politica".  ...  Può far parte del G-8 un paese governato dal suo cittadino più ricco, le cui aziende private dipendono dai favori dello Stato? Può un paese il cui leader controlla le tv nazionali aspirare ad appartenere a un club di democrazie? Può una nazione il cui leader rifà le leggi per salvare se stesso e i suoi amici dai processi per corruzione passare l'esame della democrazia e dello Stato di diritto? Può un paese il cui leader impone un cambiamento della Costituzione per favorire il proprio partito prima delle elezioni, sedere allo stesso tavolo dell'Inghilterra, della Francia e degli Stati Uniti? Il problema non è la Russia, è l'Italia".

    (Graham Allison, ex sottosegretario alla Difesa, docente alla Kennedy School of Government di Harvard: Arrivederci Democracy, Los Angeles Times)

    All I thought was a dream

    No way to explain.  Just listen this shiny diamond from Flipsyde featuring T.a.t.u.
    An incredible combination between rapping, melody, pure pianos and  amazing lyrics 
    about something that nobody like to talk: abortion

    Happy Birthday...so make a wish

    Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
    Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin?
    Tiny boy runnin' round, hangin' with all the guys?
    Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
    I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
    Choosing our life over your life meant your death
    And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
    Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life?
    Would you have been a little genius in love with math?
    Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad?
    Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper?
    Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters?
    I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose?
    And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow?
    Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
    Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
    Happy birthday...

    All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
    Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
    All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
    Was as real as it seemed
    I made a mistake!

    I've got a millon excuses to why you died
    Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide
    Who's to say it woulda worked, and who's to say it wouldn't have?
    I was young and strugglin' but old enough to be your dad
    The fear of being a father has never disappeared
    Pondering frequently while I'm zippin' on my beer
    My vision of a family was artificial and fake
    So when it came time to create I made a mistake
    Now you've got a little brother maybe he's really you?
    Maybe you really forgave us knowin' we was confused?
    Maybe everytime that he smiles it's you proudly knowin' that your father's doin' the right thing now?
    I never tell a woman what to do with her body
    But if she don't love children then we can't party
    Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
    Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
    Happy birthday...

    All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
    Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
    All I thought was a dream (yeah, make a wish)
    Was as real as it seemed
    I made a mistake!

    And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
    From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin
    Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
    In a place without time and space
    Happy birthday...
    From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
    From the endin' to the endin', never got to begin
    Maybe one day we could meet face to face?
    In a place without time and space
    Happy birthday...

    Emotional Songs

    For anybody with moments of life sountracked with 90's Dance songs, this is your album for Xmas. A bunch of 90's Songs dressed with acustic fabric and evocative power. I always dreamed to play "Love is a Dancer" with a simple guitar, near the fire, with a bunch of good friends...

    Alien

    well the satellite comes and goes
    we give each other all we know
    in silence we still talk
    by the light of the stereo waltz
    and you will rain down
    in your cinematic love truck
    i want to hold you like nothing's going stop us
    she come to take me away
    it's all that i needed
    i don't breathe another lover
    flicker on a TV screen
    everything's more than it seems
    the mighty backward fall
    stare at the lights on the wall
    i swear to this
    she felt like velvet
    second blond child she ment it
    she comes to take me away
    its all that i needed
    i don't breathe another lover
    i'm an alien
    you're an alien
    it's a beautiful rain
    beautiful rain
    beautiful rain

    Madame Hollywood

    Just recently I realized that Felix da Housecat is becoming something more than "one of the many" DJ. He had a lot of different collaborations (and different names) but now is time for the mass success after more than 20 years of hard work.
     
    In particular, for an old Depeche Mode fan like me, I would to remind this astonishing and minimalistic "Madame Hollywood". It is a very good picture of a mass distortion of this society
     
    Everybody wants to be hollywood
    The fame, the vanity, the glitz, the stories
    One day I'll become a great big star
    You know like the big dipper
    And maybe one day you can visit my condo
    On the big hill you know like 9-0-2-1-0

    What else is there?

    It was me on that road
    But you couldn't see me
    Too many lights out, but nowhere near here
    It was me on that road
    Still you couldn't see me
    And then flashlights and explosions
    Roads end getting nearer
    We cover distance but not together

    I am the storm I an the wonder
    And the flashlights nightmares
    And sudden explosions
    I don't know what more to ask for
    I was given just one wish

    It's about you and the sun
    A morning run
    The story of my maker
    What I have and what I ache for
    I've got a golden ear
    I cut and I spear
    And what else is there
    Roads and getting nearer
    We cover distance still not together

    If I am the storm if I am the wonder
    Will I have a flashlights nightmares
    And sudden explosions
    There's no room where I can go and
    You've got secrets too
    I don't know what more to ask for
    I was given just one wish

    That's an alien

    This blog is usually not talking about girls. At least not directly. I love girls, I'm quite addicted by them even if with not brilliant results, I love them. So I break this rule to just store thought about Nicole Kidman. Birth, this strange movie just give me another evidence that Nicole Kidman is an alien, a real alien. Hey Nicole, please shot me!

    Precious and fragile things

    Precious and fragile things
    Need special handling
    My God what have we done to you
    We always tried to share
    The tenderest of care
    Now look what we have put you through

    Angels with silver wings
    Shouldn't know suffering
    I wish I could take the pain for you
    If God has a master plan
    That only He understands
    I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

     

    I pray you learn to trust
    Have faith in both of us
    And keep room in your hearts for two


    Things get damaged
    Things get broken
    I thought we'd manage
    But words left unspoken
    Left us so brittle
    There was so little left to give

     

    A new single from the band. I know, this is only pop music, these are just simple electronic buzz  and sounds with basic melodies, with the same old voice. But it is magic, I love them. Thanks to Depeche Mode, they exist... and I will...still
