Retrograde

You’re on your own, in a world you’ve grown
Few more years to go,
Don’t let the hurdle fall
So be the girl you loved,
Be the girl you loved

I’ll wait, so show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else,
We’re alone now
I’ll wait, so show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else,
We’re alone now

Suddenly I’m hit
Is this darkness of the dawn?
And your friends are gone
When you friends won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit

I’ll wait, so show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else,
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now

I’ll wait
We’re alone now
We’re alone now

I’ll wait
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now

Suddenly I’m hit
Is this darkness of the dawn?
And your friends are gone
When you friends won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit

James Blake - Album perfetti

In occasione dell'uscita del nuovo, bellissimo disco di James Blake (Overgrown), ritorno ad ascoltare l'esordio del giovane cantuatore inglese. L'evoluzione estatica della musica elettronica in qualcosa che potremmo chiamare dub-soul, o soul elettronico, o new-soul ecc. ecc.
La magica e ipnotica voce nuda di James Blake si fonde con scarni ed essenziali strutture ritmico-armoniche elettroniche. L'incedere del disco è spaventoso, emozionante, e merita infiniti nuovi ascolti per riuscire a entrare nel nuovo mondo oscuro di Blake. Una vera vetta è la sua interpretazione di Limit to your love di Feist.

Inizio sospeso



Le variazioni graduali e profonde dell'urlo di Wilhelm



L'isolamento esistenziale



Apertura e chiusura chiusura e apertura



I limiti dell'amore



e così via, in una parabola musicale sospesa inquieta e meravigliosa.

To care

Now no more to watch two goThey don't know
Well, I wish I could have knownI wish I could have knownHow easy it was to care like youProtest too muchWas to care like youProtest too much
Now no more to watch two goThey don't knowAnd I wish I could have knownHow easy itHow full on to watch you growNever alone I can cope
How forlorn to watch you goHow full on to watch you growHow forlorn to watch you goHow full on to watch you growHow forlorn to watch you go
Was to care like youProtest too muchWas to care like youProtest too much
Now no more to watch two goThey don't knowAnd I wish I could have known
How forlorn to watch you goThey don't knowAnd I wish I could have known

James Blake

Limit to your love

There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love

There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there, is it truth or dare
There's a limit to your care
There's a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There's a limit to your love
Your love, your love, your love

There's a limit to you care
So carelessly there, is it truth or dare
There's a limit to your care

James Blake
