It's just that song

No doubts Iceland it's one of the best playgrounds for music.

This is one of my new (obsession) discoveries. Their album is just out now, and it's the new project by Singapore Sling genius front man Henrik and his long time partner Elsa, one of the most graceful girls you could ever meet on your way.



I find it magical

and so should you

I have travelled for 12 hours

backwords

It felt as if I went through space and time

And you were

Just like honey

I'll keep it with mine

I adore this song

(the strings again)

Her charmingly sad voice



Bod Dylan gave it to her writing it (according to someone) with her in mind

With all the sadness in the world

Sweet comes down

When you feel you are relaxing for the first time in months

all you need is something
(someone)
beautiful to listen and stare at

We have all the time in the world

Few nights ago I was watching a Bond film, "On her majesty's secret service", and this song was the soundtrack.
I didn't know it was made for this film, and I was so surprised when at the end, James Bond (played by an actor that will only interpretate this role once), just after his wife dies, pronounce these words

WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD

It made me shiver from the first to the last bone and still does it now



And this is the cover My Bloody Valentine did few years ago
The voice of Bilinda never sound so deep low

Merry Christmas My Love (I don't Wanna Live Anymore)

Probably this is the song of all the ones I've mentioned so far that I'm more tied to.

Love and pride.

The over mentioned genius/musician/best guitar player in the world one day as a joke wrote this song.

It's beauty, it's the perfect Christmas song, or well it's the only one that could ever fit me and my state of mind of these past months.



As someone wise said, Nick Cave meets Jesus and Mary Chain to go the funeral of Santa Klaus.

I AM PROUD OF YOU

(no matter what)

Suedehead (I'm so sorry)

I have had this song stuck in my head for days now.

It was one of my teenage song, and now, that in a year and a half I'll turn 30, I feel it as mine and appropriate as it has ever been



And it seems as you are singing it to me

'Cross the Breeze

I have travelled space and time just to see if I still feel

(Faraway is home)

Uncertainty stands by me

This song is my battle hymn

Let's go walkin on water
Now you think I'm Satan's daughter

and I feel fine

no fear girl no fear

The (Folk) Singer

I have never really been the "fan" kind of person.
I have never really idolized many people if not my mother, some writer, director, or OK Marlon Brando.
In music is the same, its about the songs, the charisma, not the person itself.

With few exceptions.

Johnny Cash was the first of the legendary singers-songwriters that I started really following and loving.
I was really touched when he died, and then I started reading and reading and reading about him and his life.
I also loved a film done 4 years ago, "Walk the line", in which was shown, to a wider audience, his career and amazing personal life.
(June Carter anyone?)

I have a little obession, and its about covers.
In his late years he started doing amazing ones, that for me in most cases turned out being even better than the originals.
But this is not what I wanted to write about today, as I think I'd need hours and boxes of cigarettes to put down all I feel for these songs.

There is one he wrote in 1971, that I particolarly love, and that shows all the beauty of his dark dark deep voice.

To me the most beautiful voice in music.



Someone covered him,
Nick Cave
1988
and let me tell you

it was really as good as the original.




00:36 the guitar comes in and its amazment

As I walk these narrow streets
Where a million passing feet have trod before me
With my guitar in my hand
Suddenly I realize nobody knows me
Where yesterday the multitude
Screamed and cried my name out for a song
Today the streets are empty
And the crowds have all gone home
I pass a million houses
But there is no place that I belong
All I knew to give you
Was song after song after song
All the truths I tried to tell you
Were as distant to you as the moon
Born 200 years too late
And 200 years too soon

It always make me shiver maybe as much at the thought of you
the most marvellous artist and person I had ever met

I'm a child of this age
Locked into the pages of your book
And when I am but dust and clay
And all the children stop to take a look
Will they marvel at the miracles I did perform
And the heights I did aspire
Or will they tear out the pages of the book
To light a fire
With the rain on my face
There is no place that I belong

Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?

And did you forget my song?

Young and Beautiful

Last night I met a girl who I really like.

She doesnt know that I know the pain she went through, she doesn't know that years ago something similar happened to me.

During the winter 2000-2001 I met a guy, a beautiful boy full of passions and friends, a great musician who could have had the world in his hands.

He had very sad eyes, and there was something in his way of looking at me that drove me crazy.

I thought there was all the time in the world for us to meet and share paths, but his fragility brought him away.

It took me years to get over his loss and fully realise that there was nothing I or anyone could do to keep him with us, and I am sure he is really happy where he is now.

And he is everywhere

This is a wonderful song and it always makes me think to all of us young and beautiful who had  somehow our youth

stolen

Pensiero Stupendo

10 years after the work by Margo Guryan in Italy her goddes Patty Pravo was releasing one of the most sensual and provocative songs ever

Sometimes Italians know it better

...

E tu
E noi
E lei
Fra noi
Vorrei
Vorrei
E lei adesso sa che vorrei
Le Mani le sue
E poi un' altra volta noi due
Vorrei per amore o per ridere
Dipende da me
E tu ancora
E noi ancora
E lei un' altra volta fra noi
Le mani questa volta sei tu e lei
E lei a poco a poco di più, di più

...

Come to me slowly

How far can your thoughts go til they blend with reality?

I have fading images of yesterday but I do remember

beautiful

you

I've told every little star

When you call me

Piggy Flu

you make me feel like if I was her

And hey this video with this song by Linda Scott is a beautiful homage to my favorite director

and my favorite film by him

And they look so falsely beautifully happy

Within me

I have been humming this song everyday since I first discovered it, on a long nightly drive after a concert in a faraway city, 5 years ago

You, you won't talk about what we see when the lights are out
And I'm willing to hold your hand while you're lost,
while you're so full of doubt
Walk for miles, on your own loose ends, I'll find you there
I'll find you there

You, you walk up thin blue lines possible with reality
And I, I see through small red eyes,
glowing still at your uncertainty
Out of darkness you will come around, I know you will
I know you will
And I'll find you
And I'll find you there   

It is my love song

It is my sex song

The magnetism of the guitar

dadadada dan

4.25 minutes of intro that makes you shiver

that makes you move your back like if you were having a very intimate encounter

Hypnotized

 I have really high fever, which it never happens.

It feels really nice and this song is not helping me to keep away my ravings visions

And hey

You are not going to get me
