I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the lord
But you don't really care for music, do you
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when i moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Well, maybe there's a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Blue morning Blue morning
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, Kitten,
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
You can look outside your window
He doesn't have to know
We can talk awhile, baby
We can take it nice and slow
All your life is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love is just a dream, dream, dream
Are you happy when you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when you're sorry?
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there
counting crows
One for sorrow Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver Six for gold and
Seven for a secret never to be told
There's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak
I wish you'd let me in
All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed
You don't want to waste your life
I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
ehy Madmac79 anch'io consco "Hallelujah", però pensavo fosse di Jeff Buckley, non è che mi sai dire di chi è esattamente?
MOJO PIN
Well I'm lying in my bed
The Blanket is warm
This body will never be safe from harm
Still feel your hair, black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin to keep me whole
If only you'd come back to me
If you laid at my side
Wouldn't need no Mojo Pin to keep me satisfied
Don't want to weep for you, I don't want to know
I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow
The memories fire, the rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so
Precious, precious silver and gold and pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless and I'm there in your arms
The welts of your scorn, my love, give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more
Well it's you I've waited my life to see
It's you I've searched so hard for
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Sì, proprio un bel cd... l'ultimo non l'ho ancora sentito ma ti riferisci a Kid-A? perchè è uscito anche Amnesiac8che dicono essere molto melio dell'altro).
Vediamo... beh non posso astenermi dal postare una certa song... ogni volta un'emozione...
Blind Guardian:"Mordred Song"!
in "Forgotten tales" o "Immaginations from the other side"
I've lost my battle before it starts
my first breath wasn't done
my spirit's sunken deep
into the ground
why am I lone
I can hear my heartbeat
silence's all around
see hate will rise
so don't come closer
fear your child
born with a king's heart
but faith fooled me
and changed my cards
none asked if i want it
if I like it
pain inside is rising
I am yhe fallen one
a figure in a cold game
no Joker's by my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn
nothing else
but laughter is around me
forevermore
noone can heal me
nothing can save me
noone can heal me
i've gonna beyond the truth
it's just another lie
wash away the blood on my hands
my father's blood
in agony we're unified
i never wanted to be
what they told me to be
fulfil my fate than I'll be free
god knows so long
i tried to change fate!
pain inside is rising
I am yhe fallen one
a figure in a cold game
no Joker's by my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
and murder the dawn
turn off the light
and murder the dawn.
He was born at the shore of Greenhock in the year 1645
Ran away at the age of fourteen, to flee from his soul-killing life
He signed on to sail the wild-winds
But he worked down his hands and his knees
He stood his test on the waters, so they said "He was bred to the sea"
In 1697, the "Adventurer..." was setting its sails
With the letter of marque and reprisal, Kidd was prepared for his trail
They sailed the sea with the mission, to hunt down "Tew" and "Long Ben"
A serious riot was rising, so Kidd struck down one of his men
And he died!
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar of lies
So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd
The "Adventurer..." returned to her hometown, Kidd was forced to defence
They charged him with looting and murder his patrons and generous friends
He'd left his crew at St. Thomas, to guard his honour from shame
But the lords they lied like a trooper, not to lose their own heads in the game
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar of lies
So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd
The lords testified, their unholy lies, to save their own heads from the gallows
They sacrificed Kidd, they took him for a ride that conspiratorial fellows
They judged him and they found him guilty of piracy of the high seas
Betraying men of honour, you know lie and cheat as they please
A case of judicial murder caused the death of a seafaring man
Slanderous bunch of liars, to hell your souls will be damned
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar of lies
So fate took its portentous course. What a shame!
In the ballad of William Kidd

JEFF BUCKLEY "So real"
Love, let me sleep tonight on you couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress
Oh... that was so real
We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation and i fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause i thought i'd hurt my mother
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under
Oh... that was so real
I love you, but i'm afraid to love you
I love you, but i'm afraid to love you
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Tempo fa avevo fatto un topic su Lene Marlin ma a quanto ho capito Lene non piace a molti...Cmq anche io ascolto un po di metal...Bene o male ascolto i MANOWAR , NIGHTWISH , BLIND GUARDIAN , VIRGIN STEELE , RHAPSODY ... Cmq i manowar e i nightwish sono tra i miei preferiti...
Ma il mio genere preferito è sempre il soft...
Train, roll on, on down the line.
Won't you, please, take me far away.
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door.
Means I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Oh, my baby's gone with the wind.
And I just don't know, oh, where I'm going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again
Oh, but I'm leaving my woman at home.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone with the wind.
Train, roll on, Tuesday's gone.
Train, roll on many miles from my home.
See I'm, I'm riding my blues away, yeh.
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free.
Lord, but somehow I've got to carry on.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone with the wind.
Train, roll on 'cause my baby's gone..
I'm riding my blues away, baby
Turn around my blues
Ride on, train, ride on, train
Riding my blues, babe
Come back to me, babe
Come back to me
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh train..
Empty spaces - what are we waiting for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on
Does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line
Does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache another failed romance
On and on
Does anybody know what we are living for
I guess I'm learning
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on - yeah
Ooh inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
Yeah oh oh oh
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on - yeah
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show
I'll top the bill
I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the
On with the show
The show must go on
Ho postato questa canzone perchè stasera mi sento veramente uno schifo, tutto va male, e io vorrei soltanto che lo show della mia vita si concludesse questa notte.
I'm looking outside of my window
the view that I see
is a child and mama
and the child is begging for money
tell me why, tell me why
the woman is blind
is she so broke
the kid's dealing crime
it's such a beautiful city,
but the word is burning it down
I go to my room to turn on the TV
I sit myself down
and I start laughing hard
'cause this man he's asking for money
he say "if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast"
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
One day I'm going to have lots of money
but I'll have to give it up for this rich society
oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'cause you'll just get it back
from the little blind woman
with the kid on the corner
and the people full over, doin' crack
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
with no one around
and I wonder what's wrong
then I hear this loud piercing siren
oh my God the bomb has just dropped
and everybody climbed right on top screaming
what a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
I keep on fallin' in
And out love with you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me
Feel blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
I feel you darlin'
Makes me so confused
CHORUS:
I keep on fallin'
In and out
Of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I loved you
Oh, oh
I never felt this way
How do you give me
So much pleasure
And cause me
So much pain?
Yeah yeah
'Cause when I think
I've takin' more
Than would a fool
I start fallin'
Back in love with you
Where's the love we had ?
When did it go bad ?
Or am I just insecure ?
I give all I can
Baby I'm your man
Tell me what you're in this for
Remind me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
Countless sleepless nights
Never ending fights
i'm trying to make your dreams come true
I will sacrifice to find paradise
But I need to know that you're
behind me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
I can't go on
I know not what to do
My heart is worn
I feel as If I'm through
Please believe in me
'Cause what I need is for you
To believe in me
To believe in me
To believe in me
To believe in me
I'm down a one way street
With a one night stand
With a one track mind
Out in no man's land
(The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the
crime)
Yeah there's a hole in my soul
But one thing I've learned
For every love letter written
There's another one burned
(So you tell me how it's gonna be this time)
Is it over
Is it over
'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah I should have
known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
I'm as dry as a seven year drought
I got dust for tears
And I'm all tapped out
(Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed)
I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed
Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head
(And something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks)
'Cause if it's over
Then it's over
And it's driving me insane
Take a walk outside your mind...
Is it over
Yeah it's over
And I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
There's nothing there girl yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah,
'Cause there's a hole in my soul
That's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul
Yeah, I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn
Without a rose.
Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK
But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You'll be out of my mind
And I'll be over you
But now I'm
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be
Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There's a life out there
For me
I'm alone yeah I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears and the cryin' that I do is for you
I want your love let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough I've suffered and I've seen the light
Baby
You're my angel come and save me tonight
You're my angel come and make it alright
Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feelin' inside
Yes it's true loneliness took me for a ride

Baby
You're my angel come and save me tonight
You're my angel come and make it alright
Come and save me tonight

DIO E’ MORTO
Ho visto
la gente della mia età andare via,
lungo le strade che non portano mai a niente,
cercare il sogno che conduce alla pazzia
nella ricerca di qualcosa che non trovano,
nel mondo che hanno già, dentro alle notti che dal vino son bagnate,
dentro alle stanze da pastiglie trasformate,
lungo alle nuvole di fumo del mondo fatto di città,
essere contro od ingoiare la nostra stanca civiltà,
è un Dio che è morto:
ai bordi delle strade Dio è morto,
nelle auto prese a rate Dio è morto,
nei miti dell'estate Dio è morto.
Mi han detto
che questa mia generazione ormai non crede
in ciò che spesso ha mascherato con la fede,
nei miti eterni della Patria o dell'eroe
perché è venuto ormai il momento di negare
tutto cio che è falsità, le fedi fatte di abitudine e paura,
una politica che è solo far carriera,
il perbenismo interessato, la dignità fatta di vuoto,
l'ipocrisia di chi sta sempre con la ragione e mai col torto,
è un Dio che è morto:
nei campi di sterminio Dio è morto,
coi miti della razza Dio è morto,
con gli odii di partito Dio è morto.
Ma penso
che questa mia generazione è preparata
a un mondo nuovo e a una speranza appena nata,
ad un futuro che ha già in mano, a una rivolta senza armi,
perché noi tutti ormai sappiamo che se Dio muore è per tre giorni
e poi risorge.
In ciò che noi crediamo Dio è risorto,
in ciò che noi vogliamo Dio è risorto,
nel mondo che faremo Dio è risorto.
IL VECCHIO E IL BAMBINO
Un vecchio e un bambino
si preser per mano
e andarono insieme
incontro alla sera.
La polvere rossa
si alzava lontano
e il sole brillava
di luce non vera.
L'immensa pianura sembrava arrivare
fin dove l'occhio di un uomo poteva guardare,
e tutto d'intorno non c'era nessuno:
solo il tetro contorno di torri di fumo.
I due camminavano,
il giorno cadeva,
il vecchio parlava
e piano piangeva.
Con l'anima assente,
con gli occhi bagnati,
seguiva il ricordo
di miti passati.
I vecchi subiscon
l' ingiuria degli anni,
non sanno distinguere
il vero dai sogni,
i vecchi non sanno
nel loro pensiero
distinguer nei sogni
il falso dal vero.
E il vecchio diceva,
guardando lontano:
"Immagina questo coperto di grano,
immagina i frutti,
immagina i fiori,
e pensa alle voci e pensa ai colori,
e in questa pianura
fin dove si perde
crescevano gli alberi
e tutto era verde,
cadeva la pioggia,
segnavano i soli
il ritmo dell'uomo e delle stagioni."
Il bimbo ristette,
lo sguardo era triste,
gli occhi guardavano
cose mai viste,
e poi disse al vecchio
con voce sognante: "Mi piaccion le fiabe,
raccontane altre."
GLI AMICI
I miei amici veri
purtroppo o per fortuna)
non sono vagabondi o abbaialuna;
per fortuna o purtroppo
ci tengono alla faccia:
quasi nessuno batte o fa il magnaccia
Non son razza padrona,
non sono gente arcigna,
siamo volgari come la gramigna;
non so se è pregio o colpa
esser fatti così:
c'è gente che è di casa in serie B.
Contandoli uno a uno
non son certo parecchi,
son come i denti in bocca a certi vecchi;
ma proprio perché pochi
son buoni fino in fondo
e sempre pronti a masticare il mondo.
Non siam razza d'artista,
né maschere da gogna,
e chi fa il giornalista si vergogna;
non che il fatto c'importi:
chi non ha in qualche posto
un peccato o un cadavere nascosto?
Non cerchiamo la gloria,
ma la nostra ambizione
è invecchiar bene, anzi, direi: benone!
Per quello che ci basta
non c'è da andar lontano
e abbiamo fisso in testa un nostro piano:
se e quando moriremo
(ma la cosa è insicura)
avremo un paradiso su misura,
in tutto somigliante
al solito locale,
ma il bere non si paga e non fa male.
E ci andremo di forza,
senza pagare il fio
di coniugare troppo spesso in Dio:
non voglio mescolarmi
in guai o problemi altrui,
ma a questo mondo ci ha schiaffato Lui.
E quindi ci sopporti,
ci lasci ai nostri giochi
(cosa che a questo mondo han fatto in pochi)
Voglio veder chi sceglie
con tanti pretendenti
fra santi tristi e noi più divertenti;
veder chi è assunto in cielo
pur con mille ragioni,
fra noi e la massa dei rompicoglioni.
