love is so confusing there's no peace of mind

non sono mai stato un fan di Deborah Harris e della sua band Blondie. 'Heart of Glass' è stato uno dei loro più grandi successi a cui non avevo mai badato più di tanto. Ora arriva questa bella band, 'Old School Freight Train', e cosa ti piazzano proprio in apertura del loro nuovo disco? Proprio lei e la rendono un piccolo gioiello. Loro sono una band di chiara impostazione bluegrass ma la loro offerta è assai variegata con influenze che spaziano da Paul Simon ai Wilco. Un bel suono, moderno, dove spicca la voce del leader Jesse Harper, capace di catturare anche l'ascolto più distratto. E poi sono riusciti a farmi innamorare di una canzone di Blondie..........

"Heart Of Glass"

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We could've made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gon
e behind

  2. Me la ricordo benissimo. Nell'interpretazione originale poteva andar bene solo in discoteca... :)

  3. i primi due dischi dei Blondie sono perfetti... plastic letters... new wave allo stato puro... avercela ancora quella ingenuità e quella energia
