1a canzone al giorno

Nel nome del padre

Oggi è il 19 marzo, San Giuseppe. Partenza un po' da "Almanacco del giorno dopo" per dire che è anche la festa del papà. Prima di tutto allora auguri a Marco. Il mio. Auguri a tutti i babbi del mondo (papà per me fa troppo chic).
Per la canzone di oggi ho scelto "In the name of the father" del grande Bono, colonna sonora dell'omonimo film di Jim Sheridan con l'immenso Daniel Day-Lewis, a mio avviso uno dei primi 10 film più belli.
Mi raccomando... Non mangiate troppe frittelle!

In the name of the father (Bono & Gavin Friday)

Come to me
Come lie beside me, oh
Don’t deny me
Your love

Make sense of me
Come walk through my doorway
Don’t hide in the hallway
Oh love

Step over
I’ll follow you down
I’ll follow you down

In the name of whiskey
In the name of song
You didn’t look back
You didn’t belong

In the name of reason
In the name of hope
In the name of religion
In the name of dope

In the name of freedom
You drifted away
To see the sun shining
On someone else’s day

In the name of United
And the BBC
In the name of Georgie Best
and LSD

In the name of a father
And his wife the spirit
You said you did not
They said you did it

In the name of justice

In the name of fun
In the name of the father
In the name of the son

Call to me
No-one is listening
I’m waiting to hear from you
Love

Stay with me
It’s cold in the ground
But there’s peace in the sound
Of White
And the black
Spilling over…

I’ll follow you down
