Good è un disteso labirinto notturno, liquido e spettrale. La voce di Mark ti colpisce come uno schiaffo denso e morbido, avvolgente e diretta ti spoglia la testa e straccia il cervello. Ascoltare questo disco è come dare un morso al paradiso, è lo scherzo di vedersi riflessi in uno specchio opaco, se non addirittura buio. La chimica che traspira entra sotto pelle: l'ipnotico connubio tra blues e jazz scorre nel sangue agile e veloce gonfiandoti le vene. Il basso incrocia il sassofono in una torsione maliziosa e raffinata, la puoi avvertire in tutta la sua consistenza, un incastro che ti consuma come del fumo, e la voce di Mark già ti sfiora le ossa: cala nella notte, erotica e ossessiva, attraverso un viaggio sommerso. Quando poi le intenzioni sono sprofondate nel loro disordine dopo tutto diventa facile anche riconciliarsi con le cose.
Ti insinui in queste intricate strisce di nebbia piene di graffi grondanti gli ombrosi umori della notte. Inseguire il basso assurdo di Mark diventa un vizio, come sanguinare follemente davanti ad un tavolo da gioco. Good è il primo disco dei Morphine, maestoso leggero e devastante, resta un esordio monumentale, si possono trovare delle affinità con Cave o Waits, ma penso sia superfluo andarle a cercare: i Morphine assomigliano solo ai Morphine, come è giusto che sia. Suonato magistralmente mantiene un equilibrio impeccabile e ha il dono di appartenerti già dal primo ascolto, perchè canzoni come "The other side" o "I know you" ti si appiccicano all'anima come preziose scintille.
Un grazie sincero Mark, ci mancherai
You're good good you're good

03 Claire (03:08)
Treat me wrong honey I don't care
You never liked much anyway
You told me meet you about half past eight
You said you'd kill me if I was late Claire
Oh Claire!
You drove me up and down the street
You used me up like gasoline
I still remember everything you said
That's the reason had to say away from Claire
Oh Claire!
Oh Claire!
(You know what that's funny you know
I don't miss you at all not even a little you bitch
I still love you)
I still remember seeing you sleep
All twisted up inside the sheets
And I still remember everything you said
Every time I hear your name Claire
Oh Claire!
Oh Claire!
Claire!
04 Have a Lucky Day (03:30)
I feel lucky I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today
Now I'm siting at a blackjack table
And swear to God the dealer has a tag says Mabel
Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel
Soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Mabel gives me a great big smile
She's getting to know me she's on my side
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
I'm a winner
And I came to play
Now I know why they say
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Have a lucky day
Now I'm down a little in fact I'm down a lot
I'm on a roller coaster ride that I can't stop
Yeah my luck has changed but she'll come back
That's the beauty of a game of chance
I can't loose forever but I'm doomed to try
Keep on hearing a voice inside
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Have a lucky day
05 You Speak My Language (03:26)
All around the world everywhere I go
No one understands me no one knows
What I'm trying to say
Everywhere I go no one understands me
They look at me when I talk to them
And they scratch their head
They go what's he trying to say
But you you speak my language
But you you speak my language
Yeah! Yes!
All around the world everywhere I go
No one understands me no one knows
What I'm trying to say
Even in my home town
My friends make me write it down
They look at me when I talk to them
And they shrug their shoulders
They go what's he talking about
But you you speak my language
But you you speak my language
Yes!

06 You Look Like Rain (03:40)
Your mind and your experience call to me
You have lived and your intelligence is sexy
I want to know what you got to say
I want to know what you got to say
I want to know what you got to say
I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You look like rain
You think like a whip on a horse's back
Stretched out to the limit you make it crack
Send that horse round and round the track
I want to know what you got to say
I want to know what you got to say
I want to know what you got to say
I can tell you taste like the sky cause you look like rain
You look like rain (x16)
Yeah you look like rain
You look like rain
11 The Other Side (03:53)
Going down to the river
There's a man I wanna see
Yeah he's the ferryman
He'll recognize me
I'm going down now to the riverside
There's a place I wanna be
I'm going to talk to the ferryman
He'll be expecting me
I'm crossing over now to the other side
Life is better there on the other side
The grass is greener there on the other side
And I I get even there on the other side
And everything will turn out all right on the other side
I'm crossing over now to the other side
The other side
I walked by the church house late last night
Yeah I walked by the church house but I didn't go inside
Cause I, I once slept with the preacher's wife
She handed me a ticket to the other side
I'm crossing over now to the other side
To the other side
To the other side

"I suoni si accavallano e si inseguono in infiniti rivoli cosmici, avvolgendo l’ascoltatore dentro soffici lembi quasi come un'intera orchestra."
"Le liriche sono poesie iperealiste, interpretate magistralmente dalla voce baritonale di Sandman."
Di Paolo_Bhimasena
La loro musica doveva essere una morfina per l’anima umana, un’anima straziata dalle preoccupazioni.
Non c’è un pezzo di 'Good' che non brilli di luce propria: ogni brano è un piccolo spaccato delle foreste notturne.
