Lasciarsi andare

«Come gli adesivi che si staccano
lascio che le cose ora succedano.
Quante circostanze si riattivano,
fuori dai circuiti della volontà»

(da Veleno, Subsonica, "L'Eclissi", 2007)

Ultima citazione romanticanda (ma non garantisco)

«I won't deny the pain,
I won't deny the change
but should I fall from grace here with you
would you leave me too?»

(da Galapogos, Smashing Pumpkins, 1995)

To adjust

«Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.

I guess we’ll just have to adjust.»

(da Wake Up, Arcade Fire, 2004)

November, 5th

Sotto una buona luna

«Been hangin around with you
Been catching the starlight
under this red moon

Leaving the city tonight
we're finding our freedom
under this red moon»

(da Red Moon, Turin Brakes, "JackInABox", 2005)

Atonement

«Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;
She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand,
And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;
But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.»

(William Butler Yeats, Crossways, 1889)

L'autoradio sembra consigliare

«Throw down your umbilical noose
so I can climb right back»

(da Heart-Shaped Box, Nirvana, "From the Muddy Banks of Wishkah", 1996)
