Oggi a Torino ha piovuto tutto il giorno. Cielo grigio-nero, sguardi spenti e nessun uccellino per strada. L’umore, si sa, in questi casi tende a non essere gioioso. Ma a me le giornate di pioggia piacciono molto. Il tutto viene avvolto da colori spenti che invogliano all’introspezione e al cullarsi nei ricordi. In tutti i ricordi; sia quelli belli che quelli, a volte, un po’ spiacevoli. Il grigiore e il ticchettio delle gocce di pioggia mi cullano,dunque, nei pensieri e la colonna sonora, oggi, era composta così:
Simon & Garfunkel - April Come She Will
April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June, she’ll change her tune
In restless walks she’ll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I’ll remember
A love once new has now grown old
Tony Bennet - I Left My Heart In San Francisco
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I’ve been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I’m going home to my city by the Bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don’t care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
Mercury Rev - The Dark Is Rising
I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms
But dreams are always wrong
I never dreamed I’d hurt you
I never dreamed I’d lose you
In my dreams, I’m always strong
And now the creek is rising
And all my bridges burnt
I always dreamed of big crowds
Plooms of smoke and high clouds
But dreams don’t last for long
I have my suspicions
When the stars are in position
All will be revealed
But I know that until then
Unless the stars surrender
All will be concealed
And now the snow is falling
And all my fences torn
I know you need someone
And I can hear someone
Somewhere in this song
I dreamed that I was walking
And the two of us were talking
Of all life’s mysteries
But words that flow between friends
Winding streams, without end
I wanted you to see
But it can seem surprising
When you find yourself alone
And now the dark is rising
And a brand new moon is born
I always dreamed I’d love you
I never dreamed I’d lose you
In my dreams, I’m always strong
Ce ne sarebbero tante altre ma queste sono quelle che mi hanno fatto compagnia per tutto il giorno.
Saluti.
