Buona domenica a tutti,  cari lettori!

Oggi vi propongo un brano direttamente dagli anni ’70:  il gruppo sono gli ELO (Electric Light Orchestra),  fondati dall’immenso musicista e produttore Jeff Lynne.  Il loro approccio al genere pop e’ creativo e originale in quanto fonde accenni classici (ad esempio l’uso dei violini),  rock ed elettronici. 

Il brano che ho scelto e’ l’iconica.  “Turn To Stone”.  Il video che ho scelto e’ un live,  perche’ anche la scenografia un po’ futuristica aveva un suo perche’ per gli ELO.

Dato il titolo del brano,  le foto che vi propongo sono di massi erratici che ci fanno compagnia dall’ultima glaciazione.

(Il testo della canzone lo trovate nella parte in inglese qui sotto).

Buon ascolto!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXpjF1qtpt0

Happy Sunday to you all, dear readers!

Today I will share with you a song directly from the 70s: the band is the ELO (Electric Light Orchestra),  whose founder is great songwriter and producer Jeff Lynne.  Their approach to pop music is creative and original as it blends classic hints (for example the use of violins),  rock and electronic. 

The song I chose is the iconic “Turn To Stone”.  I chose a live video,  because the futuristic scenery was an important part of  the ELO performance.

Given the song title,  I will share a couple of shots of glacial erratic,  still with us since the ice ages.

Enjoy it!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXpjF1qtpt0

The city streets are empty now
(The lights don’t shine no more)
And so the songs are way down low
A sound that flows into my mind
(The echoes of the daylight)
Of everything that is alive
(In my blue world)
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin’ home
I can’t go on
The dying embers of a night
(A fire that slowly fades ‘till dawn)
Still glow upon the wall so bright (turning, turning)
The tired streets that hide away
(From here to everywhere they go)
Roll past my door into the day
In my blue world
I turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
I turn to stone, when you comin’ home
I can’t go on
Turn to stone when you are gone
I turn to stone
Yes, I’m turnin’ to stone
‘Cause you ain’t coming home
Why ain’t you comin’ home
****
