L'EP che precede il primo, seminale album dei My Bloody Valentine è una piccola gemma sottoforma di trip sonoro della durata di un quarto d'ora, in grado di regalare non poche emozioni a chi ha ancora voglia di immergersi in quel macigno di suoni caotici, stratificati e sovrapposti, seppur presenti in misura minore rispetto alle opere seguenti.
La canzone che più aderisce al sound del futuro è l'opening nonchè title track "You Made Me Realise", un viaggio schizzato caratterizzato dal basso martoriato di Debbie Googe accoppiato ad una eterea melodia immersa nel frastuono musicale, con un'unica sosta (se così si può chiamare) concessa da un minuto di intenso feedback, prima di riemmergersi nella tempesta sonora. Prosegue il discorso l'ipnotica odissea di echi beatlesiani "Slow" e il pop-folk della sublime "Cigarette In Your Bed", mentre nelle ottime "Thorn" e "Drive It All Over Me" sentiamo ancora rieccheggiare le nevrotiche e ingenue radici punk di Kevin Shields.
Ottimo per chi ha voglia di compiere brevi immersioni nel muro sonoro dei primi "fissa scarpe".
Elenco tracce testi e video
01 You Made Me Realise (03:46)
What did (you say you'd) find
Then come, come, come
Get the hell inside
You can close your eyes
Well you might as well commit suicide
Wait for me because I waited for you
No that's not what you should do
Don't hate me 'cause I don't hate you
Insane eyes
You made me realise
Something in you died
Well no, no, no, no fault of mine
Something in you died
Well no, no, no, no fault of mine
Make the (hell) out of what you can see
Maybe then you'll not hang beside me
Don't ask me 'cause I cannot see
Insane eyes
You made me realise
What did (you say you'd) find
Then come, come, come
Get the hell inside
You can close your eyes
Well you might as well commit suicide
Wait for me because I waited for you
No that's not what you should do
Don't hate me 'cause I don't know you
Insane eyes
You made me realise
02 Slow (03:12)
Oh well, you know it's up to you
Sugar think what we could do
Can I have a question
I'll make you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
Sugar sugar you're up to my lips
Licking over everything I miss
And I got no reason
Just a slow, slow, slow, slow, suck
Feeling bad, feeling good
Feeling like I never could
Lick, lick, lick and suck, suck, suck
I want it slow, slow, slow, slow
Sugar sugar you're up to my lips
Place my head upon your hips
And I got no reason
You make me smile, smile, smile, smile
Well what the hell, we (we're) all the same
You got what I need, so don't play no games
Sugar think what we could do
I'll make you smile, smile, smile, smile through
Got the rush I don't feel no shame
On top of me you (know) while I don't know your name
And we got no reason
Just a slow, slow, slow, slow, suck
03 Thorn (03:37)
Walk all over me
Even though you can't decide
Look out, (jump back)
You'll be on your own
Hillside, slip and slide
Feel the pain, it's no surprise
Look out, look out
Thorn will be your love
I felt your hair across my skin
I didn't know where to begin
A shallow promise in my ear
No thoughts, no dreams, no wishes, and no fear
The rose is dead, your face serene
No memories of things that once did seem
To be to me important too
You give me flowers when it's thorns I give to you
04 Cigarette in Your Bed (03:30)
Falling down
I like to watch you
Crawl around
Arms untied
Scratching your eyes out
With a smile
Strange stare
Strangled by the blade left
In your heart
I glide by
Slip a cigarette
In your bed
05 Drive It All Over Me (03:05)
Cover up your windows Close up all the doors Time has come for me to really shine Pick myself up off the floor Things that'll make yourself cry Can be tied above the well Helplessly withering away But I'll never ever tell Run run away run run away 'Cause there's nothing left to say Got no one to talk to Leave me alone, I'm happy to die today Run run away run run away 'Cause there's nothing left to say Oh, the travel always gets me Get in the car and drive it all over me Cruelty in the winter Happy when you're down Pulling faces running after me And we're sleeping underground I didn't mean to hurt you Didn't mean to make you sad Wandering through all the memories Of the good times that we had Welcome to the fun time We're so happy here We've no minds, we might as well be blind We can lie together here You can come down and join us You're more than welcome to Even though it's painful to the ears But it might not all be true
