Come si possono descrivere a parole le emozioni? Come si può pensare per assurdo di provare a scriverle in una pagina web? Ma soprattutto, come hanno fatto i Sunny Day Real Estate a creare un album che rasenta la perfezione, un album che può essere e che andrebbe ascoltato sempre, indipendentemente dallo stato d'animo e dall'umore? Signori e signori, qui abbiamo davanti non un disco, bensì il più bel disco emo mai stato concepito...
"Diary" è il nome perfetto per questo capolavoro, pieno di emozioni e di pensieri, proprio appunto come un diario personale...questo album è datato 1994, periodo nel quale nella scena alternativa si respirava solo aria di grunge e il punk rock più commerciale... Ebbene i Sunny Day Real Estate hanno rivoluzionato tutto. TUTTO.
Merito loro se esistono oggi gruppi come Silverstein, Emery o Taking Back Sunday, merito loro se oggi l'emo è cosi spudoratamente conosciuto e affermato, (purtroppo, anche così dannatamente commerciale). Il disco in questione si apre con "In Circles", pezzo caratterizzato da un cantato alternato tra melodico e quasi urlato, con un testo indispensabile per le band future; Si continua con "A Song About An Angel", con un intro da brividi, arpeggi delicati intrecciati a riff affilati come lame, con un testo che recita: "Words.You are married to your pain. Although you hit me hard I come back". Le tracce scorrono e piano piano ci si comincia ad abituare alla sensazione che i SDRE regalano, che alternano pezzi commoventi e strappalacrime a brani più aggressivi... l'album termina, ci si ferma a riflettere, sdraiati magari, guardando il cielo, con il pensiero che questo è uno degli album più emozionanti e personali mai stati composti.. si perchè questo album, sembra il disco fatto apposta per te, quell'album che sembra raccontare la tua storia, i tuoi amori, i tuoi ricordi... tutto concentrato in un vortice di emozioni chiamato "Diary".
..in vita mia non ho mai trovato un album del genere, così dolcemente letale e così dolorosamente emozionante... finito l'album ci si ritrova a pensare.. pensare a come ha fatto un gruppo di 4 ragazzi a creare dal nulla un capolavoro assoluto. Grazie SDRE.

sew it on
face the fool
december's tragic drive
when time is poetry
when stolen the world outside
the waiting (could) crush my heart
no...
sew it on
face the fool
the tidal wave of fear
and brave songs dissapear
the secret voice of dawn
this last time raise my eyes
no...
you'll taste it
you'll taste it
in time
the right words
in time
the right words
sew it on
face the fool
the mirrors lie, those aren't my eyes
destroy them, raise my hand
reflected in savage shards
a new face, a soul reborn
no...
you'll taste it
you'll taste it
in time
the right words
in time
02 In Circles (04:58)
Meet me there
In the blue
Where words are not
The feeling remains
Sincerity
Trust in me
Throw myself into your door...
I go
In circles (running down)
Meet me there
In the blue
Where words are not
The feeling remains
I dream
To heal your wounds
But I bleed myself
Oh I bleed myself
I go
In circles (running down)

swallow whole
lose myself in you
take a chance
take a chance with me
poured out in wine
chance to run away
take a breath
take a breath
same sign
hair of gold swims through
caught in my mind
painted picture prize
jewels on a crown
poisoned wine
i fall to the floor
caught a glimps of truth
swallow whole
lose myself in you
take a chance
take a chance with me
hair of gold swims through
caught in my mind
painted picture prize
jewels on a crown
poisoned wine
i fall to the floor
caught a glimps of truth
hair of gold
hair of gold

i lost myself when i looked in your eyes
i tried to disguise myself.
fear inside
the suffering moved and breathed
our hands silhouettes against the sky
where were you?
hope to chain this memory?
we could have been the last time.
show me the sight of the side of chance
hold tomorrow one foot in and one foot out.
are you strong enough?
are you strong enough?
pitiful boy
i lost myself in moments embrace
i saw the lie come clear
fear inside
fear inside
fallen now child run away
i tried to reveal myself
fear inside
where were you?
help unchain this memory.
we could have been the last time
show me the sight of the side of chance
hold tomorrow
one foot in and one foot out
are you strong enough?
pitiful boy.

The rain was there to wash away my tears.
I wanted to be them but instead I destroyed myself.
11 Sometimes (05:42)
Sometimes
I can't lay down
My past
Sometimes
I'm too blind to see
You laughing at me
Although you hit me hard
I come back
Some...
Some-times
You drag me on
No words to explain
Altough you through away my name
From your mind
I have to try
Although my heart is bruised by your words
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes
I can't lay down
My past
Sometimes
I'm too blind to see
You laughing at me
Although you hit me hard
I come back
Some...
Some...
Sometimes, you drag me on
No words to explain
Altough you through away my name
From your mind
I have to try
Although my heart is bruised by your words
Sometimes...
Sometimes...
Away now
Take me away
Away right words
