Oggi, in una delle mie peregrinazioni solitarie per la città, ho incontrato un mio vecchio conoscente al bancone di un bar; era parecchio che non lo vedevo. Davanti a una birra leggera e lottando stoicamente con le zanzare che infestavano il locale, iniziamo a chiacchierare: abile conversatore e dotato di un piglio accattivante, questo mio conoscente sa come catturare l’attenzione del prossimo e nel farlo, spazia da un argomento all’altro con la più assoluta nonchalance. Dopo qualche minuto però, grattando un poco la sua logorrea e sicumera, trovo in lui una buona dose di nozionismo senza approfondimento, di citazionismo acritico dove la valutazione e l’opinione personale sono un pò troppo latitanti.
Detto questo, l’oretta che ho speso con lui è stata piacevole e, per certi versi, “rinfrescante”.
Tornato a casa, ho ripescato un vecchio romanzetto di Maksim Gor’kij,” Infanzia”. Scrittore godibile e, a tratti, interessante ha, secondo me, il difetto di non cercare a sufficienza uno stile davvero suo, ma semplicemente affastella ed annacqua influenze artistiche significative senza però dare una curvatura personale alla propria parabola artistica. Riprende gli psicodrammi dei personaggi di Dostoevskij (senza averne l’eccezionale capacità di penetrazione psicologica), ambisce alla visione globale della società e della storia russa propria di Tolstoj (senza averne l’acume e la polifonia), si arrabatta per cercare una scrittura che ricordi la prosa morbida e vellutata di Turgenev (senza averne la cifra stilistica e compositiva).
Detto questo, l’oretta che ho speso con lui è stata piacevole e, per certi versi, “rinfrescante”.
Ho appena finito di riascoltare il disco d’esordio dei Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Mi è sembrato così di chiudere coerentemente la giornata.

04 Awake (06:12)
Wanna feel what I touch
Wanna find what was lost
Wanna be kind
As you see every curse
And in a dream it'll work
Now you'll feel tied
Wanna praise with this life
And conceal without lies
I just need time
Wanna fight every need
Every push every string
Will you stand by?
I've been awake through the wrong decisions
I've held the ground now I'm gaining soul
I bit my tongue through the cold realizations
I've been accused but I've only begun
Wanna speak what I've seen
Wanna reach what I've dreamed
Wanna be kind
Wanna seal what I've cut
Wanna hear without rush
Wanna ease time
With your hand on your loss
Our scene truly cost
No one told you
And we grew from the day
Into night I'm ashamed
I will join you
I've been awake through the wrong decisions
I've held my ground now I'm gaining soul
I bit my tongue through the cold realizations
I've been accused, but I've only begun
Take me on, take me on
I've been awake, shaking to a rage
I've been awake, shaking to a rage
In the end only once
All you need is a touch
Wanna see love
Every thought you'll be shown
Every act will be known
I defend you
We'll awake every sound
Every chance I'll be found
I'll be with you
To the end now you come
Show your hands to the ones
To behold you
I've been awake through the wrong decisions
I've held my ground now I'm gaining soul
I've held my tongue through the cold realisations
I've been accused, but I've only begun
Take me on, take me on
I've been awake, shaking to a rage
(Take me on, take me on)
I've been awake, shaking to a rage
07 Rifles (05:29)
Rifles
I see the rifles coming over the hill
And if you shout maybe they stop and won't kill
But if you think like me
You'll be as dead as he
I see the lion crawling over your bed
And if you stay he'll make you walk in your bed
To what you're gonna be
It never lets you be
I see the colour in your eyes
I see the images I own
I see more colour in your eyes
Than the reflections from purple skies
I won't let you take him away
And I won't give to you the fires of hate
So I will never see
What you've done to me
I see the colour in your eyes
I see the images I own
I see more colour in your eyes
Than the reflections from purple skies
Now
You come alive
With the world at your side
Now
You come alive
With the world at your side
I see the rifles coming over the hill
And if you shout maybe they stop and won't kill
But if you think like me
You'll be as dead as he
Some day
I see the colour in your eyes
I see the images I own
I see more colour in your eyes
Than the reflections from purple skies
Now
You come alive
With the world at your side
Now
You come alive
With the world at your side
08 Too Real (04:55)
Don't want to see what all these people see
They all seem lost with what they've found
Don't want to hear what all these people hear
It seems to tell them there's no sound
Don't want to fight who all these people fight
It's only truth that's been denied
Does it feel too real
When everything you've learnt to love seems to change?
Does it feel too real
When everything you love to fear seems the same?
Don't want to waste away my life-savings
Too many feelings left to save
No need to talk about the other side
We learn to live our happy lives
It's so good, you see- just another day
Learn to savour all the same
Does it feel too real
When everything you've learnt to love seems to change?
Does it feel too real
When everything you love to fear seems the same?
Do you turn out the lights so you don't have to see yourself?
Do you turn out the lights so you don't have to see yourself?
Do you turn out the lights so you don't have to see yourself?
Does it feel too real
When everything you've learnt to love seems to change?
Does it feel too real
When everything you love to fear seems the same?
Does it feel too real
When everything you've learnt to love seems to change?
Does it feel too real
When everything you love to fear seems the same?
Does it feel too real?
10 Head Up High (05:35)
You feel, no one listens, before saying you're through
You fear, nothing takes you as far as you'll go
This song is not about you
The life that stands without you
Your body and blood
Your body and blood
You're leaving us all
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
You feel, nothing ever stays the same as it was
You'll take, no more remedies to force yourself true
You say, every motion and fall fail you too
This song is not about you
The life that stands without you
Your body and blood
Your body and blood
You're leaving us all
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations
I keep my head up high to ease my mind
Of all these true sensations

Di LOR15
Questo è il disco più inutile che mi sia mai capitato di ascoltare.
Un disco da buttare nel cesso. La mia copia la ho riportata al negozio.
Di Roberto De Filippis
I B.R.M.C. fanno musica ispirata, dal suono fresco (quasi freddo) e al contempo chiaroscurale.
Per i puristi del rock questo disco deve essere assolutamente ascoltato.
