Electrelane

Guardavo un film, e poi mi sono detto, questa canzone, questa canzone la conosco...
L'album è uscito alcuni anni fa, No Shouts No Calls. Non ho mai trovato grandi risposte alla mia passione per questo gruppo che seguo da quando pubblicarono The Power Out.
Allora faccio spazio togliendo gli album Four Tet, There Is Love In You e Bitte Orca dei Dirty Projectors, di cui forse sarebbe giusto parlare a parte.
Ecco qua, nel leaflet del CD ci sono i testi, tutti scritti da Verity Susman (molti brani sono strumentali):



You didn't know where to go
Walking around in this flag-waving town
I saw you waiting for a train
And you disappeared
Your face pressed up to the window
You went so far away
And I want to come there too
I want to be with you
I'm just waiting until you say these words :
"Come back, come back, come back, oh, to me...
I'm living near Gdánsk, there's a train, you'd be here soon
There's a life for me and you
The East means so many things
But it could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
For you and me
It could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
Come back, come back, come back, oh, to me..."
And if you'd ever say these words
I'd come to you, where you are
It's too hard to be apart
The East's not so far away
And it could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
For you and me
It could be home, it could be home, it could be home, it could be home
Come back, come back, come back
Oh, to me...
