Sonnnoooo !

Sonno...Inesorabile e dilaniante....SONNO !!!
Deh....perchè ho un sonno della madonna ? Semplice semplice...stanotte non ho chiuso occhio neanche per 5 minuti .Ieri sono andato per la mia solita visita settimanale dal dentista...deh...mi ha fatto il calco della dentatura superiore...vabbè...comunque,una volta tornato a casa,mi sono gettato sul letto per rilassarmi un pò e vedere cosa c'era in tv...e...sdeng...mi sono addormentato....Non per tanto,solo per un'ora e mezza,ma tanto è bastato a scombussolare i miei orari...Tant'è vero che stanotte,mi sono messo a letto...e mi sono rigirato tra le lenzuola fino alle 8 del mattino,quando,sconsolato,mi sono lazato e sono uscito a fare una passeggiata.Sarà che ieri notta è tornata,furente e impetuosa,la pioggia,con un acquazzone molto consistente e lampi a iosa...bah ! Fatto sta che ora,mi sta venendo sonno....ma deh...è l'una passata...se mi addormento ora....doh...scombussolo ancora di più i miei orari e poi chi lo riprende più il ciclo del sonno ? Doh....P-A-R-A-N-O-I-A.
Vabbè...mi consolerò un pò anche quest'oggi con una delle più belle composizioni che mi sia mai capitato di ascoltare...Lo so che dico molto spesso le stesse cose per diverse canzoni di diversi artisti,ma non ci posso fare nulla se le adoro tutte .
Ma tornado a questa....beh,caro blog,ti dico solo un paio di cose...La canzone in questione dura esattamente 53 minuti e 46 secondi....Una canzone lunghissima,divisa in 12 momenti...Doh....le premesse sono di una canzone moooolto "pallosa" o quantomeno dispersiva e invece...invece NO ! Anzi....difficilmente mi è capitato di ascoltare canzoni lunghe che risultino così fluidi...ma i grandi Fates Warning sanno fare questo è altro...Intensa,malinconica,sorprendente...e chi più ne ha più ne metta...ma basta con le chiacchiera....ora c'è solo lei.

Are You Listening
Am I Here Screaming ?
Drowning In A Silent Sea

His Mind Never Rests
Lying In Shadows

Am I Getting Through ?
A Milion Miles Away
Or Here Beside You ?

His Mind Never Rests
Lying In Shadows
Replaying A Thousand Regrets

And The Minutes Just Pass
As The Hours Change
And The Shifting Hands
Slowly Rearrange

There's A Cloud Above Us
And There's A Shadow On Us
An Outside Of Us
Hangs This Shade Of Gray

Rain Falling
Hours Crawling
All Around This Shade Of Gray

There's A Chill About Us

And Deep Within Us
Lies This Shade Of Gray

And There's Miles Between Us

Only Us Breathing

Dividing The Silence
In A Distant Thunder

Only Hearts Beating
And The Rain Keeping Time
Measuring Out The Minutes
And Taking Us Under

PART  V

Murdered In Munich
Crucified In Rome
Was Killing Time
On The Long Road Home

Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Did Nothing
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Did Nothing At All

Withered In Winter
Wished Away The Night
Was Out Of Mind
While Out Of Sight

Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Did Nothing
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Did Nothing At All
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Did Nothing
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Did Nothing At All

Watched The Days Just Pass
As The Seasons Changed
And The Shifting Sands
Slowly Rearranged

But I Will Not Eulogize
I Won't Apologize
I Will Not Defend
Anymore,Anymore

I Will Not Dramatize
I Won't Soliloquize
I Will Not Pretend
Anymore,Anymore

PART  VI

I Know That I Don't Know You
And You Couldn't Know Me
But Time And Space Collided
And Here We Are,Here We Are

I Know That You Don't Understand
And I Can't Explain
But Circumstances Conspired
And Here We Are,Here We Are

And I Know We Can't Turn Back All The Years
Time Reflected In A Shade Of Gray
But I Often Wonder What Could Have Been
And I Still Hold On To Yesterday

And I Know We're Not Children Anymore
Innocence Lost In A Sea Of Gray
But I Often Wonder What Else Could Be
And I Still Dreaming Of Running Away

So Where Do We Begin
And What Else Can We Say ?
When All The Lines Are All Drawn
What Shoul We Do Today ?

PART  VII

Stare From The Darkness
Hear The Silence Call ?
Devise Devisions,Delay Decisions,
Watch The Hours Crawl And...

Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing ?
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing At All ?

Recite Soliloquies
To Shadows On The Wall ?
Revise Revisions,Reverse Decisions
Watch Our Heros Fall And...

Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing ?
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing At All ?

Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing ?
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing At All ?
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing ?
Let Nothing Bleed Into Nothing
And Do Nothing At All ?

PART  VIII  (Instrumental)

PART  IX

Stayed Up Late Last Night
Lying Here In Bed
Looking For Words
To Say The Things
I Left Unsaid
Wind At My Window
Whispers To Me Instead
And I Lie Alone
Writing Letters In My Head

Where You Are,I Am
Through Nights That Never End
Where You Are,I Am
In Words I'll Never Send

Walked Alone Last Night
Cold Streets Of Could Be Anywhere
Looking For Words
To Share The Thoughts
I Could Not Share
Road At My Heels
Takes Me Away Instead
And I Walk Alone
Writing Letters In My Head

Where You Are,I Am
Through Streets That Never End
Where You Are,I Am
In Words I'll Never Send

Where You Are,I Am
Through Nights That Never End
Where You Are,I Am
In Words I'll Never Send
Never,Never Send

Stayed Up Late Last Night
Lying Here In Bed
Still Looking For Words
Still Writing Letters In My Head

PART  X  (Instrumental)

PART  XI

Do You Think That I,That I Remember
Do You Think That I,That I Recall
When You Were Falling
And I Just Watched It All ?

Do You Think That I,That I Remember
Do You Think That I,That I Recall
When You Were Breaking
And I Just Let The Pieces Fall ?

Don't You Think That I Remember
Don't You Think That I Recall
When You Were Alone,All Alone
And I Didn't Hear,Hear Your Call ?

Call !
Hear Your Call !
Hear Your Call !
Hear Your Call !!!

PART  XII

This Shade Of Gray
This Certain Sadness
This Cold Morning Light
This Silent Madness
Hangs In The Air
Hangs Like A Memory
Hangs Like A Cloud
Hangs On Desperately
Between Dark And Light
Between Was And Be
Between Young And Old
Between You And Me
Between You And Me

I Remember Cities
And I Remember Rain
Like The Sound Of Your Voice,Falling
These Memories And More Remain
I Remember Winter
And I Remember Strain
Like The Sound Of Your Voice,Breaking
These Memories And More Remain
I Remember The Nights
And I Remember Pain
Like The Sound Of Your Voice,Alone
These Memories And More Remain

So Where Do We Begin
And What Else Can We Say ?
When The Lines Are All Drawn ?
What Should We Do Today ?

Close Our Eyes Awhile
As Morning Shadows Play
And Listen To The Rain
Wash The Long Night Away
Face To Face We'll Awake
To See Another Day
And With Hope In Our Hearts
Embrace This Shade Of Gray
This Pleasant Shade Of Gray

  Non voglio aggiungere altro...non saprei cosa dire di più....
