Il mio viaggio era partito con un imparagonabile… "Excuses for Travellers" e oggi, la mia solitaria mongolfiera multicolore, cenerentola di sogni incantati, avanza con "Out Of Tune".
Tre dolcissimi ragazzi Neil e Rachel (entrambi ex Slowdive) e Bernard, che tendono sempre ad elogiare, regalandoci tanta bellezza così fine e così rara, irraggiungibile per tanti altri gruppi che, purtroppo o fortunatamente, senza successo, cercano disperatamente di imitarli. Con tutta onestà, i generici cloni, o più precisamente dei Mojave 3, non sono ben accetti nella Bibbia della musica.
Dieci percorsi che s'inoltrano alla ricerca di pace e spensieratezza, inevitabilmente passeggera, che vogliono farci riflettere intensamente su questo mondo confusionario, e così troppo storpiato dall'odio e dall'ottusità gratuita, melodie che vogliono concederci delle parentesi d'incanto temporaneo, che possono solo farci star bene, magari vagheggiando l'isoletta dei tropici in un'emulsione di calore, o magari immortalando la vetta dell'Everest (Dio del cielo) in una totale ipotermia.
Dall'inizio sino alla fine, sono canzoni classiche, che calzano sempre a pennello, illuminano le parti più scure e ombrose, trasformando quel silenzio dei nostri angusti pensieri, in una culla floreale, un nido pieno di spensieratezza, "Who Do You Love" e "Some Kinda Angel" sono d'una bellezza palpabile, una fisiognomonia all'unisono, "To Whom Should I Write" un sonoro intriso di magia, "Yer Feet", "All Your Tears" e "Caught Beneath Your Heel" per non dire "Keep It All Hid" un dialogo sinfonico e considerevolmente prezioso, insomma sono tutte argentee spruzzate, di polvere di stelle.
Chitarre che si sposano con un sensibile folk rock, leggermente rinchiusi in ricordi pop rock, tuttora indelebilmente persistenti a firma "Slowdive", ma che ne mantengono le precise e principali caratteristiche, senza uscire da schemi severi, rendendoli così unici.
Tanta emozione in un soft celestiale, e tanta emozione nel profondo dell'anima.
Mojave 3… emotività racchiusa in cuori che vivono.

03 Some Kinda Angel (03:44)
In the night-time bars
the hours go slowly
the life-lines fade fast
as the music play soft
and the band falls apart
and Jane needs some excitement
Her boyfirend stands tall
for nothing at all
as he bores her to bed
In the morning light
i was fading fast
those moonshine visions
were gaining their grasp
and the Highway blues
had pulled me down to my knees
And you.. were some kinda angel
you took me aside
said hey nevermind
i'll make you feel better
and the morning came
you said i will never understand
why the midnight lies
are never planned
and which Dreams is yours
and which is MINE
I said hey don't you feel alive
when the night-time holds ya
and there's nothing you want
no place that you can't go
nothing that you need
no-one you cannot touch
i said yeah.. gimmie something NEW
gimmie something new
04 All Your Tears (04:38)
Wheres the magic that you wear
That keeps you safe
and keeps you feeling free
Whose arms have held you
that you don't know who you are
anymore
Is that music that you hear
a distand sound from a distant year
yeah something changed
and you lost your defence
and now it's gone
Something changed my friend
yeah something CHANGED
all your tears have come at once
and now you're LOST
Whats the sense in moving ground
a hard sun is never hard to find
Just close your eyes
turn your face to the wind
and you'll be fine
Wheres the magic that you wear
that keeps you safe
and keeps you feeling free
Whose arms have held you
that you don't know who you are
anymore
Something changed my friend
yeah something changed
all your tears have come at once
and now you're lost
yeah now you're lost
05 Yer Feet (04:15)
I was drunk when i met you
i was drunk when you walked out the door
and i rolled around the night
to find you
but i guess you never knew
yeah you needed something solid
you could hold
like a dog that came when you called
like a coatstand that sits out in the hall
But you don't need me
It's your feet you don't need
always facing back the way you just came
I don't love you anymore
i don't need you
i'm just keeping the score
You said life is too short to be bored
all this crawling around on the floor
won't get you what you want
it's just a waste
and you don't need me
So i look at every woman
just to see if there's something there
for me
and i look up every moment
just to know if i'm missing something
sweet
And i need something solid i can hold
like a dog that comes when i call
like a brick i can throw against the wall
but i don't need you
yeah i don't NEED you
07 Keep It All Hid (03:57)
You keep it all hid
like you're waiting for the guillotine
to fall
You keep it all hid
like you're waiting
for someone to save you
and you lean against the wall
like you just learned how
and you tell me that you know me
but i don't know why
so i just laugh
Yeah you keep it all hid
don't it make you feel alone
you keep it all hid
don't it make you feel tired
You used to smile
now you just stare at your knees
sometimes honey i wish i was
better company
and so do you
But you keep it all hid
yeah you keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
don't you babe
DId you ever really know
did you ever really give
did you ever take the time
did you read between the lines
no you waited for me to try
yeah you keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
you keep it all hid
don't you babe
you can keep it
yeah you can keep it
you keep it all hid
