Iniziamo questa settimana con un'altra canzone pescata dalla radio. Qualche girono fa ho risentito, guidando, una bella canzone degli U2, "Angel of Harlem". E' un brano del 1988 dall'album "Rattle and Hum" uscito ad un solo anno di distanza da "The Joshua Tree" il disco che ha dato al gruppo di Bono Vox l'immortalità. "Rattle and Hum" raccoglie alcune versioni live di altri brani e degli inediti tra cui la canzone del giorno che Bono & C. hanno dedicato a Billie Holiday. E' lei l'angelo di Harlem. Buon ascolto!Angel of Harlem (U2)It was a cold and wet December dayWhen we touched the ground at JFKSnow was melting on the groundOn BLS I heard the soundOf an angelNew York, like a Christmas treeTonight this city belongs to meAngelSoul love, this love won't let me goSo long, angel of HarlemBirdland on fifty-threeThe street sounds like a symphonyWe got John Coltrane and a love supremeMiles, and she's got to be an angelLady Day got diamond eyesShe sees the truth behind the liesAngelSoul love, this love won't let me goSo long, angel of HarlemAngel of HarlemShe says it's heart, heart and soulYeah, yeah (yeah)Yeah, yeah (right now)Blue light on the avenueGod knows they got to youAn empty glass, the lady singsEyes swollen like a bee stingBlinded you lost your wayThrough the side streets and the alleywayLike a star exploding in the nightFalling to the city in broad daylightAn angel in Devil's shoesSalvation in the bluesYou never looked like an angelYeah, yeah, angel of HarlemAngel, angel of HarlemAngel, angel of HarlemAngel, angel of HarlemAngel, angel of Harlem
