Immaginiamo che non ci sia bisogno di presentare The Cure, band seminale degli ultimi decenni di musica internazionale, entrata nella Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, a quarant'anni dal primo album, Three Imaginary Boys. Un giusto riconoscimento a chi ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica degli ultimi decenni, nella storia artistica di tanti altri musicisti, ma anche in quella personale di più generazioni di ascoltatori, come il sottoscritto.
Il loro ultimo album, 4:13 Dream, è uscito ormai nel 2008, ed a più riprese da allora pareva prossimo l'arrivo del successivo.
L'annuncio ufficiale è finalmente arrivato, Songs of a lost world sarà pubblicato il prossimo 1° novembre, e la scorsa settimana ne è uscita la prima anticipazione, Alone, che vogliamo proporvi oggi. Difficile definire singolo un brano che dura quasi 7 minuti, di cui più di 3 prima che entri la voce, confermando che Robert Smith e soci continuano a seguire la propria strada, incuranti di mode o necessità commerciali.
Non voglio espormi in giudizi essendo onestamente di parte, mi limito ad invitarvi a perdervi in questo brano, di cui tengo anche pubblicare le toccanti liriche: enjoy!!
This is the end of every song that we sing
The fire burned out to ash and
The stars grown dim with tears
Cold and afraid
The ghosts of all that we’ve been
We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness
And the birds falling out of our skies
And the words falling out of our minds
And here is to love, so much love
Falling out of our lives
Hopes and dreams are gone
The end of every song
And it all stops we were always sure that
We would never change and it all stops
Wе were always sure that wе
Would stay the same but it all stops
And we close our eyes to sleep
To dream a boy and girl
Who dream the world is nothing but a dream
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
This is this end of every song we sing
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
This is the end of every song we sing alone
The fire burned out to ash and
The stars grown dim with tears
Cold and afraid
The ghosts of all that we’ve been
We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness
And the birds falling out of our skies
And the words falling out of our minds
And here is to love, so much love
Falling out of our lives
Hopes and dreams are gone
The end of every song
And it all stops we were always sure that
We would never change and it all stops
Wе were always sure that wе
Would stay the same but it all stops
And we close our eyes to sleep
To dream a boy and girl
Who dream the world is nothing but a dream
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
This is this end of every song we sing
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go? Where did it go?
Broken voiced lament to call us home
This is the end of every song we sing alone
