1a canzone al giorno

La religione dei REM

E poi un giorno dai un'occhiata all'archivio delle canzoni pubblicate e ti accorgi per l'ennesima volta che, tra le tante, ne mancano alcune che eri sicuro di aver pubblicato e ti pare impossibile non averlo fatto. Quel giorno è stato ieri sera... E una delle canzoni in questione è "Losing my religion" capolavoro assoluto dei REM pubblicato nel 1991 nell'album "Out of time". Se poi si considera che i REM li ho già presentati più volte, sembra ancora più incredibile. Oggi è il giorno, invece, del grande rimedio. Eccoveli... Buon ascolto e a domani.

Losing my religion (REM)

Oh life is bigger 
It's bigger than you 
And you are not me 
The lengths that I will go to 
The distance in your eyes 
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up 

That's me in the corner 
That's me in the spotlight 
Losing my religion 
Trying to keep up with you 
And I don't know if I can do it 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I haven't said enough 
I thought that I heard you laughing 
I thought that I heard you sing 
I think I thought I saw you try 

Every whisper 
Of every waking hour 
I'm choosing my confessions 
Trying to keep an eye on you 
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I set it up 
Consider this 
Consider this 
The hint of the century 
Consider this 
The slip that brought me 
To my knees failed 
What if all these fantasies 
Come flailing around 
Now I've said too much 
I thought that I heard you laughing 
I thought that I heard you sing 
I think I thought I saw you try 

But that was just a dream 
That was just a dream 

That's me in the corner 
That's me in the spotlight 
Losing my religion 
Trying to keep up with you 
And I don't know if I can do it 
Oh no, I've said too much 
I haven't said enough 
I thought that I heard you laughing 
I thought that I heard you sing 
I think I thought I saw you try 

But that was just a dream 
Try, cry, why try? 
That was just a dream 
Just a dream, just a dream 
Dream
