Quando non si hanno più risultati nella vita , capita che si perda l'ispirazione , e non ci si alzi più , ma si rimanga nel proprio stato di moto rettilineo uniforme. Con questo album gli Everything But The Girl uscirono nel 1994 segnando un epopea pop dance da far invidia all'Italia (paese che secondo me ha prodotto la miglior dance di sempre), la canzone che apre l'album è"Rollercoaster" un insieme ben assortito di piu' generi , si continua il viaggio musicale con "Troubled Mind" una canzone molto significativa e malinconica poi la traccia che supera tutte per bellezza è "Missing" piena di repentini cambi di tempo , spazio, ritmo, voce come se ci trovassimo in un poema ariostesco dove il protagonista (l'ascoltatore) si trova ad affrontare una storia d'amore con sottofondo musicale gli EBTG . Il risultato è un viaggio impressionante nei meandri della memoria malinconica dell'individuo che cede in continui stadi d'animo nostalgici .
Sicuramente non è un album "positivista" piuttosto si potrebbe parlare di un album che rievoca esperienze passate con finale non molto felice, l'album è uno specchio della vita dell'uomo comune , e oggi nel 2006 capisco come gia' nel 94' la mitica cantante dalle labbra insolite aveva colpito nel segno , magari aveva letto nel futuro. . . . . L'album è da consigliare a tutti quelli che hanno passato magari un brutto periodo d'amore nei mitici anni 90', senza prendere in serieta' le mie parole provate ad ascoltare questo disco che sicuramente esprime tanti valide esperienze di vita in cui anche voi sicuramente vi ritroverete. . . . ora torno su debaser c'e' gente in chat ; )ded to: chi ha bisogno di una persona che gli manca tanto. . . . . . . . love. . . . free. . . . fuck. . . sexydebaser!!!

01 Rollercoaster (03:13)
I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounts of time on my own
I don't want to cause any serious damage
I want to make sure that I can manage
because I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head
And I see love and disaffection
and the clouds build up and won't pass over
This is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
I still haven't got over it even now
I want to spend huge amounts of time in my room (hey)
And I'm not comin' out till I feel I'm ready
I'm not running out while my heart's unsteady
and I'm not really in your head
I'm not really in your head
And when you sky falls to minus zero
well some things must dissappear
and this is my road to my redemption
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
And the names may have been changed but the faces are the same
And the names may have been changed but as people we're not the same
And I'm not
no I'm not
no I'm not really in your head
And my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
Yeah my life is just an image of a rollercoaster anyway
06 Missing (04:05)
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
- Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout
Down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you -
Like the deserts miss the rain
Back on the train
I ask why did I come again
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone
But I can't move on
And I miss you -
Like the deserts miss the rain
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you -
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you -
Like the deserts miss the rain (deserts miss the rain)
09 25th December (04:03)
Words and Music by Ben Watt
And I see forests and it's the 25th of December
and my old man plays the piano for Christmas.
He plays the piano for Christmas.
And we're all there, all the aunties and uncles,
and the angle's on the top of the tree.
Up there o the top of the tree.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
Have I enough time, have I just some time,
to revisit, to go back, to return, to open my mouth again
and say something different this time.
And I see bags of newspaper and a car in the carport,
and you're a grown up and still unsure,
and I'm thirty and I don't know nothing no more.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I'm sitting, sitting on the top of the stairs,
and you're crying out on the towpath by the river
with all the swans and all the people walking by.
And all of a sudden I'm stuck with an urge to unlock a door
with a key that's too big for my hands
and I drop it, and it falls at your feet.
Come on, come on, it's there at your feet.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
And I never, no I never ever realised.
10 Disenchanted (02:04)
Look at you now, you've disenchanted,
can't believe how things can change.
Take a little out of life and things get strange.
And now you find the wishes you were granted,
things you thought were in your hands,
have slipped away.
How much can you withstand?
The wasted time, the money spent,
a sign that reads 'For Sale or Rent'.
And everything is at a standstill,
and where's someone who'll be on hand till
you're no longer disenchanted,
thinking everything is wrong?
You know you're not the only one to wait so long.
I wonder, can you try again?
Are you that strong?

Atmosfere vellutate intrise di malinconia e su tutto la sempre magnifica voce di Tracey Thorn.
Per stasera mi lascio cullare da "Amplified Heart".
