Visioni.
Idee che si susseguono limpide ma non lineari. Suoni, rumori e ancora suoni.
Chiudi gli occhi. Fai un salto nello spazio, accompagnato da una voce flebile che ti parla di un'enorme sfera di metallo, di un suono che hai già sentito, di una perfezione irraggiungibile; accade ogni mille anni e accadrà per un'eternità. Rimane il rumore, tu torni coi piedi per terra, ma quel rumore resta nella tua testa; come mai? perché te ne accorgi solamente tu? È il ronzio di un insetto... lo faresti fuori, ma non ci riesci.
E insiste. Insiste quando incominci a pensare, quando ti senti addosso un strana sensazione, ma è uno stupido rumore, ora non ci fai più caso; una vocina ti parla di sogni, che hai e non hai mai realizzato, ma c'è uno spiraglio di speranza, ancora! Poi la tensione si scioglie, tu finisci da tutt'altra parte, ad ascoltare storie dove speranza proprio non ce n'è; puoi sentire l'oscurità che ti attraversa? cosa farai? perché non ti muovi?
Via da qui. Assai lontano, c'è il sole. Prenditi un momento, respira, non pensare, ché là c'è il sole. Puoi arrivarci, magari ballando. Che so, un valzer di velluto...
Ma tu non ci arrivi, sei fuori. Ma perché non fermare questo spettacolo? Perché ti piace. E riprovaci. Eccolo il sole, ora scalcia tutto lontano e resta là. Sembra quasi che non brilli più, ma non importa. Non importa, perché in fondo siamo speciali, lo stesso... Apri gli occhi.
Una sensazione di appagamento ti invade. Sei cosciente, perfettamente cosciente del viaggetto che hai fatto. Sarà perfetto da adesso in poi? Non conta. Perché, a modo suo, un ascolto del genere già ti è sembrato perfetto.
P.S.: È vero, ho descritto sensazioni, impressioni, mi sono lasciato andare, ma soltanto per trasmettere qualcosa. Per un ciddì tanto evocativo mi sembrava giusto. Giustissimo. Statemi bene.

01 Randy Described Eternity (06:05)
Every Thousand Years
This metal sphere
Ten times the size of Jupiter
Flies just a few yards past the Earth
You climb on your roof
and take a swipe at it
with a single feather
and you do it once every thousand years
Til you've worn it down
to the size of a pea
Yeah, I'd say that's a long time
but it's only half a blink
in the place we're going to be
Where you going to be?
Where will you spend eternity?
I'm going to be perfect from now on
I'm going to be perfect starting now.
I will say I forgot it
but it was only yesterday
and that's all you have to say.
02 I Would Hurt a Fly (06:16)
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
no one else around even seems to be noticing
it's only small enough for me
I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
it feels like fingernails across the moon
or do you rub your wings together
there's a mean bone in my body
it's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer
and I won't take that from you
because I'd hurt a fly
let you go to sleep
feeling bad as me
let you go to sleep
feeling bad
there's a mean bone in my body
it's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer
and I won't take that from you
because I'd hurt a fly
03 Stop the Show (06:27)
You dont tell me anything
Its not a dream
Its not a big lie
Youre not going anywhere
You dont care
You think thats fine
You dont owe me anything
The offering
Is already mine
Your best friend is everywhere
They dont care
They think youre slime
You dont even know
What it means to
Take your own advice and then
Expect me to look suprised
After a while you know the style and thats enough to kno you suck
And when you know to stop the show because you know they know
I know its sad but dont feel bad they knew they had it coming
After a while it hurts to smile and if you laugh its just a typical miracle
04 Made-Up Dreams (04:53)
these thoughts are old
let's keep it cold
dry lines on me
dry history
dryology
that stupid sound
that awful feel
don't bring them down
and it never will
no it never will
no it never will
no it never will
hard to believe
that after all this time
that after all this I'm
still me
no one wants to hear
what you dreamt about unless you dreamt about them
don't let that stop you
tell them anyway
and you can make it up as you go
I'm already gone now
you were outside just waiting
I'm already nothing
you just noticed me fading
it takes a lot to make me crazy
and a lot is always going on
05 Velvet Waltz (08:34)
if there's a word for you
it doesn't mean anything
I've got some words for you
they don't offer anything
you cold called everybody
but you haven't sold a thing
a bad idea gone funny
a pinch felt in a dream
you thought of everything but some things can't be thought
you thought of everything but one thing you forgot is you're wrong
and you better not be angry
and you better not be sad
you better just enjoy the luxury of sympathy
if that's a luxury you have
and you know no private bad
you know that that's the meaning of you're done
in a world that's not so bad
in a world time was killing in the sun
in a world that's not so bad
in a world time was killing in the sun
in the sun
in the sun
you took all that moment
and you left it in the sun
now it's gone because you left it in the sun
was a brave idea
didn't mean no harm
now it's burnt because you left it in the sun
was a grave mistake
but how could you have known
the temperature, the distance of the sun
06 Out of Site (05:34)
raised unright
so uptight
but why blame you
you wouldn't be if you could choose
most of the time it's out of site
it hit me today
who gave who the right
who took mine away
what a sight
what a sound
what a way to bring people down
what a way to bring me down
I know that you'll get yours when you get empty
it's so close
I'm sure that you would rather do that than be in your clothes
you must have waited a long time
bet you were disappointed
I waited longer than that
just goes to prove
proving's illogical but
(Illogical)
it's sometimes necessary
proving's illogical but
(Illogical)
it's a cinch
fa-la-la
fa-la-laaa
but why blame you
you wouldn't be if you could choose
most of the time it's out of site
it hit me today
who gave who the right
who took mine away
what a sight
what a sound
what a way to bring people down
what a way to bring me down
it goes on and on and on and on and on .....
07 Kicked It in the Sun (07:33)
backwashed thoughts and you made me talk
no you made me listen
theres a feeling
from ada to irene
theres something, theres nothing
you haven't seen
tiny tv's on at 3, so serene no place to be
alone
so come on over yea
lets sit down a little while
some wine you will find the same things
by the time you read this, you kicked it in the sun
it was all that you could do, how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it was all that you could do
and you kicked it in the sun
it was all that you could do, how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it was wrong and it was rude
but you kicked it in the sun
it was wrong and it was rude, how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it's alright now i'm getting over getting mine
it's alright now i'm getting over getting mine
he seemed so unashamed of how he operated
corresponds to the facts that you want
despite his expectations he turned out mediocre
his master plan was so so
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
that net does not
make me feel safe
all those holes make me nervous
he woke up late that morning
went to the window and saw the sun had stopped its shining so so
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate

Quando ascoltate queste canzoni potete chiudere gli occhi e sognare, e senza che ve ne accorgiate delle lacrime usciranno dai vostri occhi.
Psichedelico e duro, intenso e alienato, romantico e decadente. Arte.
