Titolo: the dark side of the world

Mi pare che quest'anno sia il trentennale dell'uscita di The dark side
of the moon. Non sono trenta precisi gli anni che lo conosco e lo
ascolto ma più o meno siamo lì.
Il disco termina con queste Brain damage e con Eclipse, due canzoni la
cui lettura mi pare molto odierna; c'è suono di guerra e di follia
personale e collettiva, pari pari quella che tendo a leggere oggi nei
governanti, nei padroni, nei vari conquistadores nelle varie parti del
mondo; ed anche nelle gioiose atmosfere che caratterizzano le
manifestazioni per la pace in tutto il mondo (non tiene qui la
considerazione che l'aspetto gioioso sia contrapposto alla tristezza e
violenza della guerra, significa altro, purtroppo). Il disco di sopra
è finito ora è iniziata una nuova canzone che fa parte del disco The
Wall, molto più recente. Si intitola Comfortably numb; ecco l'aspetto
gioioso significa proprio questo, la traduzione precisa delle parole
finali della canzone:
The child is grown 
 The dream is gone 
 And I have become 
 Comfortably numb.
-----
BRAIN DAMAGE 
 
 
 The lunatic is on the grass 
 The lunatic is on the grass 
 Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs 
 Got to keep the loonies on the path 
 
 The lunatic is in the hall 
 The lunatics are in my hall 
 The paper holds their folded faces to the floor 
 And every day the paper boy brings more 
 
 And if the dam breaks open many years too soon 
 And if there is no room upon the hill 
 And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too 
 I'll see you on the dark side of the moon 
 
 The lunatic is in my head 
 The lunatic is in my head 
 You raise the blade, you make the change 
 You re-arrange me till I'm sane 
 
 You lock the door 
 And throw away the key 
 There's someone in my head but it's not me. 
 
 And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear 
 You shout and no one seems to hear 
 And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
 I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
 ECLIPSE  
 
 
 All that you touch 
 All that you see 
 All that you taste 
 All you feel 
 All that you love 
 All that you hate 
 All you distrust 
 All that you save 
 All that you give 
 All that you deal 
 All that you buy 
 beg, borrow or steal 
 All you create 
 All you destroy 
 All that you do 
 All that you say 
 All that you eat 
 everyone you meet 
 All that you slight 
 everyone you fight 
 All that is now 
 All that is gone 
 All that's to come 
 and everything under the sun is in tune 
 but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Auguroni a the dark side of the moon ...!!!
Poi wish you wher here , poi animals ... poi the Wall anche al cinema in
quadrifonia ( molto triste anche questo aspetto nel parallelo non
musicale  ) .. in the wall Roger Waters e' in un certo senso il
"dittatore" (anche se  il resto del gruppo non e' assente) ...per
concludere col successivo "The Final Cut", quasi un album solista di
Waters ... :-(
Shine on you crazy diamond!

E l'album "Meddle"? Ne vogliamo parlare? C'entra poco, ma io mi ci son fatta
certi viaggi da bimba, ehehheh, senza assumere assolutamente alcun tipo di
TROKA, gne-he. Ero bimba davvero, avevo circa 11-12 anni, e alternavo il già
vecchiotto "Meddle" ai vari walzer di Strauss & Co.

Strano che non citi la canzone, di quel disco, che forse è più attuale: "Us
And Them"
Pink Floyd
Us And Them
Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
