Ci sono degli album che sono composti da qualcosa che va oltre le note.
Ti ci concedi e ti prendi tutto quello che ti possono dare; il prezzo sta nel lasciargli al tempo stesso qualcosa di te. Non ce ne sono molti nella vita, ma quando ti trovi ad ascoltarli eccoti catapultato nel passato a rivivere cose che volente o nolente, ora devi subire ancora; poi a te la scelta se in maniera attiva o passiva, se col sorriso o col mal di stomaco.
E così eccomi in un parcheggio a scorrere inutilmente i dischi dei miei porta cd, senza trovare niente che corrispondesse alle mie esigenze. Poi ecco girare l’ennesimo disco e leggere “Dave Matthews Band” e “Crash”, automaticamente lo sfilo dalla custodia e lo inserisco nel lettore. Poi parte un’altra storia, partono i ricordi insieme ai fiati di “So much to say”, in allegria si scopre cosa è una fusion e quanto sia bello ballare su una musica diversa, con “Crash into me” arriva la consapevolezza di quanto possa essere bella una canzone d’amore senza essere banale, pur tenendo gli stessi alti per tutto il pezzo o con “#41” di quanto possano essere scomodi ma belli tanti accordi con l’acustica, che smette di essere uno strumento da falò, ma qualcosa di più, di molto di più. A “Tripping Billies” tutto diventa frizzante e chiaro, (si questo disco è un capolavoro e la vita può essere bella !!!). Con “Let you down” mi posso sciogliere ed imparare ancora come si fa musica… non si finisce più con questo cd…
Il disco finisce alla fine, ma è uno di quelli che si ascolta di continuo in loop, ma partiamo da “Two steps” perché è il capolavoro nel capolavoro e poi sento la ritmica incalzare, la vita che ha un commento sonoro adeguato perché “life is short but sweet for certain we’re climbing two by two to be shure these days continue these thing we cannot change”

02 Two Step (06:27)
I find myself more and more mistaking
myself for someone else
Hey, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Say, love, you drive me to distraction
Oh my love you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down, ah well,
Celebrate ah
Celebrate we will
Cause life is short but sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, love, you quench my mind and say:
Let's celebrate ah
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but
Sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot oh not today
Celebrate ah
Celebrate we will, you and me
Climb on two by two, to be sure
These days continue
Things we cannot change
Hey my love, I came to you
With best intentions
You, you laid down and gave to me
Just what I'm seeking
Say, love, won't you come celebrate...
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short
But sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change.
03 Crash Into Me (05:16)
You've got your ball
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you,
I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl...
close to me
Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me,
crash into me
crash into me
crash into me
crash into me
I'm the king of the castle
You're the dirty rascal
Crash into me
Oh see you crash into me baby,
'Cause I am swimming in your seas
And in your ocean
And I feel your waves come and crash into me
Oh yes I see the waves come and crash into me
Oh yes I feel the waves come and crash into me
05 #41 (06:38)
Come and see
I swear by now
I'm playing time against my troubles, oh
Oh, I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish a dance?
And while I'm in the front
The play on time is won
Oh, but the difficulty's coming here
I will go in this way
And find my own way out
I won't tell you to stay
But it's coming to much more
Me
Come down like ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
Oh, what if they came down crushing?
In a way
I used to play for all of the loneliness that nobody notices now
Oh, begging slow
I'm coming here, yeah yeah
Only waiting
I wanted to stay
I wanted to play
I wanted to love you
I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads the way
I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please
I wouldn't pass this by
Oh I wouldn't take any more than
What sort of man goes by?
I will bring water
Why won't you ever be glad?
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why won't you run into rain and pray
And let tears splash all over you?
09 Lie in Our Graves (05:42)
When I step into the light
My arms are open wide
When I step into the light
My eyes searching wildly
Would you not like to be
Sitting on top of the world with
your legs hanging free
Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok?
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
I'm blown away
When I'm walking by the water
Splish splash me and you takin a bath
When I'm walking by the water
Come up through my toes
To my ankles
To my head
To my soul
I'm blown away
(various talking and laughter)
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
might have been
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Wondering if we had
spent our living days well
I can't believe that we would
lie in our graves
Dreaming of things that we
might have been
Would you not like to be
I can't believe that you
would not like to be
Would you not like to be
ok, ok, ok
11 Tripping Billies (05:00)
We were above
You were standing underneath us
We were not yet lovers
Dragons were smoked
Bumblebees were stinging us
I was soon to be crazy
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Cause we're tripping Billies
We're wearing nothing
Nothing but our shadows
Shadows falling down on
the beach sand
Remembering once, out on
the beaches
We wore pineapple grass bracelets
So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
We're tripping Billies
We are all sitting
Legs crossed around a fire
My yellow flame she dances
Tequila drinking, oh,
our minds will wander
To wondrous places
So why would you care
To get out of this place
You and me and all our friends
Such a happy human race
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
Eat drink and be merry
For tomorrow we die
12 Proudest Monkey (09:10)
Swing in this tree
Oh I am bounce around so well
Branch to branch,
limb to limb you see
All in a day's dream
I'm stuck
Like the other monkeys here
I am a humble monkey
Sitting up in here again
But then came the day
I climbed out of these safe limbs
Ventured away
Walking tall, head high up and singing
I went to the city
Car horns, corners and the gritty
Now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah
Then comes the day
Staring at myself I turn to question me
I wonder do I want the simple, simple life
that I once lived in well
All things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days
But now I am the proudest monkey you've ever seen
Monkey see, monkey do, yeah
Monkey see, monkey do
Carico i commenti... con calma

Tre volte ho consigliato a tre diversi amici di ascoltare 'Crash': tutti e tre l’hanno inserito tra i cinque dischi da portare su un’isola deserta.
Spero di avervi lasciato con curiosità sufficiente a farvi abbandonare il tentativo di comprensione di 'Crash' tramite l’occhio: qui l’unica via è l’orecchio!
Di Y2Jericho
Non credo esistano parole sufficienti per descrivere questo album, perché qualsiasi parola si usi non riuscirebbe a rendere giustizia a quello che è l’effettivo valore artistico del platter.
Qui abbiamo Rock, Pop, Folk, Jazz e musica Dance buttata in un frullatore e tirata fuori sottoforma di orgasmo musicale.
