E' la Giornata della Memoria: ricorrenza che è troppo spesso strumentalizzata e oggetto di discorsi sterili, ma mai da parte di Guccini e quindi ricordiamo (anche) con la sua voce.

Francesco Guccini - Auschwitz
Son morto con altri cento, son morto ch' ero bambino,
passato per il camino e adesso sono nel vento e adesso sono nel vento....

Ad Auschwitz c'era la neve, il fumo saliva lento
nel freddo giorno d' inverno e adesso sono nel vento, adesso sono nel vento...

Ad Auschwitz tante persone, ma un solo grande silenzio:
è strano non riesco ancora a sorridere qui nel vento, a sorridere qui nel vento...

Io chiedo come può un uomo uccidere un suo fratello
eppure siamo a milioni in polvere qui nel vento, in polvere qui nel vento...

Ancora tuona il cannone, ancora non è contento
di sangue la belva umana e ancora ci porta il vento e ancora ci porta il vento...

Io chiedo quando sarà che l' uomo potrà imparare
a vivere senza ammazzare e il vento si poserà e il vento si poserà...

Io chiedo quando sarà che l' uomo potrà imparare
a vivere senza ammazzare e il vento si poserà e il vento si poserà e il vento si poserà...

.....per Shady

There’s a little creepy house
In a little creepy place
Little creepy town
In a little creepy world
Little creepy girl
With her little creepy face
Saying funny things that u have never heard

Do you know what it’s all about
Are you brave enough to figure out
Know that you could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to leave your doubts

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you’ll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you’ll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill this
Go on
And you’re forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

She has a little creepy cat
And a little creepy bat
Little rocking chair and an old blue hat
That little creepy girl
Oh she loves to sing
She has a little gift
An amazing thing
With her little funny eyes of hazel
With her little funny old blue hat
She will go and set the world on fire
No one ever thought she could do that

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you’ll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you’ll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill this
Go on
And you’re forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

Flitter up
and Hover down
Be all around
Be all around

You know that I love you, go on

Feel it
Breathe it
Believe it
And you’ll be walking on air
Go try
Go fly
So high
And you’ll be walking on air
You feel this
unless you kill this
Go on
And you’re forgiven
I knew that
I could feel that
I feel like
I am walking on air

IF (Cleo Laine & John Williams )

If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can't I paint you?
The words would never show,
the you I've come to know . . .

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
you're all that's left me to . . .

And when my love for life
is running dry,
You come and pour
yourself on me . . .

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you,
tomorrow and today,
beside you all the way . . .

If the world should stop revolving,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
when the world was through . . .

Then one by one
the stars would all go out . . .
Then you and I

Titolo: Hymn To The Morning Star

Open your heart to the lord of light
Open your heart and mind and let him in
He holds the key to the throne of might
You are empty
Say his name and let him in
All hail the dawn of a rising star
All hail the crowned and conquering child
Morning will come for you at last
No matter how far into night you have strayed
Say his name
Welcome the child
A new world is crawling from the ashes of the old
Two thousand years of guilt and fear
And the greatest lie ever told
Out of the wounded side of the dying god
Out of the sacred heart of the throttled hen
The blood is the life
The flowing milk for the infant god
The throne is empty
The cup is full
He approaches and then
He steps from the shadow and he opens up his eyes
He spills the blood onto the throne
And hurls a curse up to the skies
I am the adversary and must remain the adversary

Oggi è morto Francesco Puccioni al secolo Mike Francis, mi sembra giusto ricordarlo con la canzone che amo di più con la partecipazione di Rossana Casale.
Per molti, come il sottoscritto, di questo forum sarà sicuramente sicuramente un tuffo nel passato, chi invece non la conosce potrà trovare il link al video in fondo alla pagina.

LET ME IN
By Mike Francis featuring Rosanna Casale

Let me in
with the flowers
don't bring me down
I'm on the ground
Let me in
you got the power
to kill the pain
I'm feelin' deep within

Last night I hurt you so
but 'till the mornin' sun grow cold and rivers flow
I promise you my heart
and we can make love grow
until the moon up high deserts the sky
I know
you'll never face a broken heart
No doubt about it
I wanna win
you back again

Let me in
your darkest hour
just take my hand
and try to understand
I know I hurt you so
and till the seas run dry I'll worship you and more
I promise you my heart
now we can make love grow
until the lovers cease to dream and have no heart
my lovely lady we'll never part

Now we can dance upon the sweetest love refrain
you're my tomorrow and you're my today
now only you can show the way
through fire and rain I'm feelin' pain so much
you're such a part of me I want you back
hey! It's good to see you again

No doubt about it
I wanna win
you back again

Let me in
to feel the fire
let love unfold
my body's wet and cold
I'll never let you go
until the sand rolls in the desert
day by day
I promise you my heart
and we can make love grow
until the day no longer turn the night away
my lovely lady in love I'll stay

Hey! Babe
lead me through the colors of your rainbow now
you gotta understand
you got this shadow hangin' over me
I'm not the man I used to be oh! No
my destiny is in your hands
I know your heart is sad and blue
I'm lonely too
so what's the use it's no excuse oh! No
you got a winnin' hand
so honey come on
Let Me In....

Beatallica - The Thing That Should Not Let It Be

When I find myself in times of trouble
Hybrid children come to me
Pray for father roaming—roaming free

And in my hour of darkness
It is standing right in front of me
He is the thing that should not let it be

Let it be, let it be
Hybrid children watch the sea
He is the thing that should not let it be

Crawling chaos underground people
Living in the world agree
The wretch is fearless with insanity

And though he has been sleeping
There is still a chance that he will see
That this thing should not let it be

Let it be, let it be
Hybrid children watch the sea
He is the thing that should not let it be

Not dead which eternal lie
With stranger eons death may die
These are words of wisdom — let it be
I wake up to the sound of Metallica
Let the metal come to me
Death to the one that will not let it be

Let it be, let it be
Hybrid children watch the sea
He is the thing that should not let it be


secondo me c'è del genio...

Lo ricordo principalmente per l'hit "Survivor"..

RIP

Radio Ga Ga - Queen

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know
or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might
miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio - Radio
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!

NINE FEET UNDERGROUND (Caravan)


Think of me now while you're yawning, sunshine the tears from my cries
What I see I know is real, what I touch I know I feel
If I don't care for what you say, it won't mean much to me today

For I see your world that is living, my mind is yours, yours is mine
Don't talk to me 'bout forgiving, so much to do, no more time
All my love goes straight to you with just a thought for something new
All I have is what you feel with hands in mouth, you gently kneel

What I see I know is real, what I touch I know I feel
All my love goes straight to you, all my love is you...


There's a place where I can go, where I listen to the wind singing
Songs of happiness I know, and it brings it all back again
Somewhere deep inside of me, there's a song that I can sing
Jigsaw puzzles on a tree, and it brings it all back again
Will the day be warm and bright, or will it snow?
There are people waiting here who really want to know

And sometimes I think of wine, songs and laughter flowing free
People talking all the time, and it brings it all back to me

Will the day be warm and bright, or will it snow?
There are people waiting now who really have to know

Can't you feel it in the air? I wonder what it's meant to be
It's the thought that can't be spared, and it brings it all back to me
Yes it brings it all back to me
