I Replacements... sì, ma direi rock molto più leggero, quasi pop... quando -tanto tempo fa- mi piacevano i Green Day, non capivo perché si potevano citare suoni come questi, ma poi ti rendi conto che, a livello di melodie, sono stati molto generosi anche loro...
Comunque degli Husker non si batte Warehouse: stories and songs...

Chi è patito di Battisti come me...? Quest'album è eccezionale...

Se negli USA gli anni '80 sono stati degli Husker Du, oltreoceano gli Smiths non avevano rivali!

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Grazie, Reverendo. Apprezzo molto la tua gratitudine e perciò riappaio per dedicare a tutti questo pezzo, che mi pare anche in tema. Sia di abbandoni che di Epic. Soprattutto, festeggiUo con enorme goduria il dvd del concerto regalatomi giusto ieri. Ultimamente sono molto legata a questo pezzo, per una serie di ragioni troppo lunghe da spiegare, ma... beh, ascoltate. :*

ABANDONED (Kamelot - "One cold winter's night" ["The Black Halo"])

Once my life was plain and clear
I recall
Once my ignorance was bliss
Nightfall came
Like a serpent’s kiss
To my troubled mind

Why... Oh why my God
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

Binding promises were made on my soul
Grand illusions lead astray
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Bring me back to you

Why... Oh why my God
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

-- Helena --
I remember a song
Like in a dream
Where September was long
And winter unreal

Why... Oh why my God above
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Behind the old façade
I'm your bewildered child
So take me cross the river wide

E siccome mi avete ricordata ( ç__ç ), vi regalo anche una "bonus track" dallo stesso concerto. Altro tra i miei pezzi preferiti.

MARCH OF MEPHISTO (Kamelot - "One cold winter's night" ["The Black Halo"])



Shagrath (Dimmu Borgir) :
Aspirat primo Fortuna labori
Me duce tutus eris
Vox populi vox Dei
Ad majorem Dei gloriam...
Ad infinitum

(Translation:
Fortune Smiles Upon Your Effort.
Under my leadership you will be safe.
The voice of the people is the voice of God.
For the greater glory of God.
For Infinity.)

Kahn:
You know just who I am
Don't be so distant
'cause When you're lost
I am solely there to share your grief

Khan:
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you

Shagrath:
Reminders of innocent youth

Khan:
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude

Khan and Shagrath:
I speaketh the truth

Khan:
Now tell me all about your pain
Down to the detail
Don't say it's love
Your fragile heart feeds my contempt

Khan:
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you

Shagrath:
Reminders of innocent youth

Khan:
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude

Khan and Shagrath:
I speaketh the truth


Khan:
Chase the heathen call
We belong...you and I
Unison in all you deny

Khan:
Wailing your sorrow
is only my way to comfort you

Shagrath:
Reminders of innocent youth

Khan:
Waiting for morrow you're lonely
I name your solitude

Khan and Shagrath:
I speaketh the truth


Khan:
I am the thorn in your side
That seeks accomplishment

Shagrath:
Reminding the mortal of death

Khan:
I am the spore of your pride
An angel heavensent

Khan and Shagrath:
The master of all
I am the urge of the flesh

Shagrath:
Reminding the mortal of death

Davvero li ho chiesti? XD
