BLUR - BARBARIC

I Blur sono tornati con un nuovo album. Ben lontano dai fasti del brit pop anni '90, assai diversi dalla tamarraggine di "blur" e "13", e totalmente differente da "Think Tank". L'impronta è quella di un rock-pop classico e commerciale. Ci sono canzoni piacevoli, si lascia ascoltare volentieri, ma non credo avrà hits come Country House o Park Life o Song 2 o Tender.

 Ah, who blinks first

You're gonna win

The fallen doves of lovers' vows

In the world all around us

And I'd like, if you've got the time

To talk to you about

What this breakup has done to me

I have lost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose

Now where am I going?

At what cost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose?

It is barbaric

Ah, you can't play to every taste

The powder keg of common cause

All of us carry trauma

And in lieu of an explanation

I will pour oil from the cup

On the pyre of abdication

You have lost the feeling that you thought you'd never lose

Now where are you going, darling?

At what cost the feeling that you thought you'd never lose?

And it is barbaric

Empty grove, winter darkness

We're taking down the scaffolds very soon

Crow dappled the lonely baubles on the plane tree

The can of soup and heating up to ten

Which leads me to the part

Where we agreed on different dreams

And that we'd lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

Now where are we going?

At what cost the feelings that we thought we'd never lose?

It is barbaric

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

Now where are we going?

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

It is barbaric, darling

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

Now where are we going?

We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose

It is barbaric
