Anima Mundi




Questa sera sono andato ad ascoltare lo spettacolo finale di Anima Mundi.

John Eliot Gardiner ha diretto in modo superbo e il pubblico lo ha omaggiato con un lungo (5-6minuti) interminabile applauso in piedi.

Il pezzo che mi è piaciuto di più occupava solo un rigo del programma ed era un Kyrie Eleison. Il pezzo più divertente è stao l'ultimo quando i grili che stavano attorno al Battisero si sono sentiti fin dentro il Duomo e hanno accompagnato il coro diretto da Sir John.

E ascoltando questo repertorio di salmi mi sono anche goduto (come non facevo da anni) l'interno del duomo che, devo ammetterlo è veramente molto ma molto bello. Così come è stupenda la sua facciata (fotografata qui sopra alle 9 di stasera) e immortalata nelle sequenza iniziali di Good Morning Babilonia dei fratelli Taviani qui sotto.

Man Down going to Buti





I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars

What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun

Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down

mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh why, oh why
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What you expect me to do
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm

I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Man down

mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh why, oh why
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

Look, I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it, oh gosh
What ever happened to me
Ever happened to me, ever happened to me
Why did I pull the trigger
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, boom
And end a nigga, end a niggas life so soon
When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do

Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Me say wah man down (A weh me say)
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
Rum pa pa pum
When me went downtown

'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh lord have mercy now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please give me minimal
Run out of town,
None of them can see me now, see me now

Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Oh why, oh why
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station

Proposta di matrimonio introdotta da flashmob




It's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes?
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby
I think I wanna marry you

Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go
No one will know
Oh come on girl
Who cares if we're trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of patron
And it's on girl

Don't say no, no, no, no-no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go-go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes?
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby
I think I wanna marry you

I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh
So whatcha wanna do?
Let's just run girl

If we wake up and you wanna break up that's cool
No, I won't blame you
It was fun girl

Don't say no, no, no, no-no
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
And we'll go, go, go, go-go
If you're ready, like I'm ready

Cause it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you.

Is it the look in your eyes?
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby, baby. [x2]

Cause it's a beautiful night
We're looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby
I think I wanna marry you

Is it the look in your eyes?
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby
I think I wanna marry you

Primo bagno di stagione

Pomeriggio al mare alla Lecciona a leggere la Curandera, ad usmare il mirto, a fare il primo (e anche ultimo) bagno di stagione (autunno!) e a godersi il panorama delle Apuane, il mare calmo e caldo, le dune e mirare quelli che fanno passeggiate a cavallo nella ampia pineta che precede le dune.
