The Lost Train… Of Thoughts

Ecco alcune delle foto che mi riguardano da vicino, della mia partecipazione in qualità di scrittore, poeta e musicista al Premio Diana De Mutiis. Grazie a tutti e complimenti ai poeti vincitori

Io che suono Nutshell degli Alice in Chains

La presentazione (a cura della prof.ssa Picone) del mio libro “Lo Zibaldondan” e del libro di Roberta\Oea Sirabella “Do Not Disturb”

Andrea De Prisco ed io che suoniamo una nostra versione di Stairway To Heaven dei Led Zeppelin

E’ tremendo, mi sto letteralmente azzeccando a Tom Waits, è un pazzo che sa giocare davvero benissimo con le parole e coglie gli aspetti più reali della vita, cancellando ogni sogno americano e non dalla mente di chi le legge e le ascolta.

Tango Till They’re Sore, dall’album Rain Dogs del 1985, un capolavoro di follia

E poi 13 anni dopo

Well you play that tarantella all the hounds will start to roar
The boys all go to hell and then the Cubans hit the floor
They drive along the pipeline, they tango ’til they’re sore
They take apart their nightmares and they leave them by the door

Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
And send me off to bed for evermore

Make sure they play my theme song, I guess daisies will have to do
Just get me to New Orleans and paint shadows on the pews
Turn the spit on that pig and kick the drum and let me down
Put my clarinet beneath your bed ’til I get back in town

Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
So send me off to bed for evermore

Just make sure she’s all in calico and the color of a doll
Wave the flag on Cadillac day, and a skillet on the wall
Cut me a switch or hold your breath ’til the sun goes down
Write my name on the hood, send me off to another town, and just

And just let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
Tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
Will you send me off to bed for evermore

Fall out of the window with confetti in my hair
Deal out Jacks or Better on a blanket by the stairs
I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past
Send me off to bed for evermore, send me off to bed for evermore
