Titolo: [LYR] Magic and Loss

Magic and Loss
(Lou Reed, Mike Rathke)
When you pass through the fire
you pass through humble
You pass through a maze of self doubt
When you pass through humble
the lights can blind you
Some people never figure that out
You pass through arrogance you pass through hurt
You pass through an ever present past
and it's best not to wait for luck to save you
Pass through the fire to the light
As you pass through the fire
your right hand waving
there are things you have to throw out
That caustic dread inside your head
will never help you out
You have to be very strong
'cause you'll start from zero
over and over again
And as the smoke clears
there's an all consuming fire
lying straight ahead
They say no one person can do it all
but you want to in your head
But you can't be Shakespeare
and you can't be Joyce
so what is left instead
You're stuck with yourself
and a rage that can hurt you
You have to start at the beginning again
And just this moment
This wonderful fire started up again
When you pass through humble
when you pass through sickly
When you pass through
I'm better than you all
When you pass through
anger and self deprecation
and have the strength to acknowledge it all
When the past makes you laugh
and you can savor the magic
that let you survive your own war
You find that fire is passion
and there's a door up ahead not a wall
As you pass through fire as you pass through fire
try to remember its name
When you pass through fire licking at your lips
you cannot remain the same
And if the building's burning
move towards that door
but don't put the flames out
There's a bit of magic in everything
and then some loss to even things out

 Magic and Loss
Sitting on a hard chair.

 (Lou Reed, Mike Rathke)
testo (e disco) davvero bello, imvho č il miglior Lou Reed degli anni '90,
profondo ma mai patetico (a differenza di Patti Smith che, quando si mette a
cantare politico č un po' penosetta...)
davvero un testo grandioso...
bye buy

Non č il piů bel disco di Reed nei '90.
E' uno dei migliori dischi in assoluto degli anni 90.
Non so quanti abbiano scritto canzoni come come Cremation, Harry's Circumcision,
Magician, Power and Glory negli anni 90.

 Magia e Morte
Direi Morte, piu' che altro.
Non so, quel disco e' veramente troppo funereo per me: l'ho ascoltato
qualche volta, poi mi sono arreso...
Ciao, Stefano

 qualche volta, poi mi sono arreso...
Indubbiamente la morte gioca un ruolo chiave. La perdita dei due amici è
troppo fresca e vivida per poter riuscire a dare spazio ad altri sentimenti.
Però c'è anche un po' di magia, soprattutto grazie alla grandissima
partecipazione di Jimmy Scott in Power and Glory.

Magia e Morte
Non posso che essere d'accordo, č un disco stupendo come pochi a
dimostrazione del fatto che Reed č riuscito a non rovinarsi
artisticamente con il tempo.
