1a canzone al giorno

Penultimo giorno in differita. La canzone di oggi l'ho sentita qualche giorno prima delle ferie su radio Capital. E' un brano del 1976 di Stevie Wonder dal titolo "Pastime Paradise" dalla'lbum "Songs in the key of life". Quando l'ho sentita mi sembrava di conoscerla ma in una versione diversa. E ci credo... Quella che conoscevo io è la versione del 1995 di Coolio che l'ha ricampionata nel brano "Gangsta's Paradise" colonna sonora del film "Pensieri pericolosi". Che dire Stevie è davvero un grande. Buon ascolto e.... a domani

Pastime Paradise (Stevie Wonder)

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
They've been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise

Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Dissipation
Race relations
Consolation
Segregation
Dispensation
Isolation
Exploitation
Mutilation
Mutations
Miscreation
Confirmation, to the evils of the world

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been looking in their minds
For the day that sorrows gone from time
They keep telling of the day
When the savior of love will come to stay

Tell me who of them will come to be
How many of them are you and me
Proclamation
Of race relations
Consolation
Integration
Verification
Of revelations
Acclamation
World salvation
Vibrations
Stimulation
Confirmation, to the peace of the world

They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
They've been spending most their lives
Living in a future paradise
We've been spending too much of our lives
Living in a pastime paradise

Let's start living our lives
Living for the future paradise
Praise to our lives
Living for the future paradise
Shame to anyone's lives
Living in the pastime paradise
