papaveri e peonie

stasera sarei dovuto essere altrove, sorry Mr. Vites, invece mi é toccato qualcosa di meno piacevole e per consolarmi ho annaffiato a dovere con del buon Kai 2005 di Paraschos. Tornando ha casa mi imbatto in una canzone e l'ascolto a ripetizione. E' di Christian Kjellvander, svedese autore di diversi dischi sia solisti che con la band Loosegoats. Lui è molto bravo, amo i suoi dischi ed aspettavo l'occasione per parlarne. Eccola, una canzone, l'ho ascoltata un mucchio di volte, ma stasera ha da dire più del solito o forse sono io che l'ascolto più attentamente. 'Papaveri e Peonie' è un titolo che non sembrerebbe avere grandi pretese invece....

I wanted you to need me
and I wanted to need you
But the days they proved different:
took action for truth
It's plain it wasn't in the cards for you and for me
'cause you can't live off laughter and luxury

When you couldn't be loved
you were left with feared
Passed admiration contempt is reared
Considered all the things i had with you
Considered all the things i had to do

I wanted you to need me
and I wanted to need you
But the days they proved different:
took action for truth
It's plain it wasn't in the cards
for you and for me
'cause you can't live
off laughter and luxury

You spin your web of sorrow and dreams
Your life's a poem, or so it seems
One too many drunken nights,
One too many unfeathering fights

So move on, move in, move out
There's a light that lurks in the shadows of doubt
Carry on, carry in, carry out
In this action is what you carry about

So I found a girl who needed me
and you know I need her too
And it's plain that it's all in the cards for her and for me
'cause you cant live off love, laughter and luxury
Yes, you can live like poppies and peonies
