Love is blindness

“Love is blindness” – Jack White

Love is blindness
I don’t wanna see
Won’t you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness

In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness

Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness

Love is blindness
I don’t want to see
Won’t you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness

A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense

Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness

Love is blindness
I don’t want to see
Won’t you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness

A Sort of Homecoming


“A Sort of Homecoming” (Live) – U2

And you know it’s time to go
Through the sleet and driving snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

And you hunger for the time
Time to heal, desire, time
And your earth moves beneath
Your own dream landscape

Oh, on borderland we run and still we run
I’ll be there, I’ll be there, tonight
We’ll build a bridge across the sea and land

The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around
Faces ploughed like fields
That once gave no resistance

Oh, on borderland we run and still we run
We run and don’t look back
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Tonight, tonight
I’ll be there tonight
I’ll be there, so long

O coma way o coma o com o coma way say I
O coma way o coma o com o coma way say

Now the wind will crack in wintertime
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words, just a scream

Tonight, we’ll build a bridge across the sea and land
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Tonight, tonight

And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Lights in the distance

Oh, don’t sorrow,
No don’t weep for tonight, with you
I am coming home
I am coming home

Acrobat

“And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming ‘round
…don’t let the bastards grind you down”

“Acrobat” – Glasvegas

Staring at the Sun

“I’m not the only one starin’ at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find if you took a look inside”

New year’s day

Alla fine mi sono lasciata prendere da un po’ di buonismo anche io, ed ecco qua i miei auguri a tutti voi. Cosa augurare? Ciò che ognuno di voi desidera di più.
Quello che è appena passato è stato per me un anno di radicali cambiamenti ed ha prodotto una me in versione 2.0, non proprio un’altra persona rispetto a dodici mesi fa, ma quasi. Ho incontrato tante belle persone qui, dalle prime che mi hanno dato fiducia alle ultime che ho conosciuto, da quelle con cui ho rapporti più stretti e sento anche al di fuori di qui a quelle con cui ci si scambia solo qualche timido “like”.
E’ bello essere qui con voi.
