Sulle rive selvaggie di un Bacio nero



E' da questo video di accompagnamento al pezzo di Brian Eno nella versione di Roedelius che ho tratto l'immagine per BACIONERO.
Così scrive Jose Berry che ha caricato il video su YouTube: "This song is so beautiful! is a song from 1978, I heard it for first time on the movie "Stanza del Figlio" and now I made a version for "Savage Grace" telling the story between Blanca and Tony."
Savage Grace è un film con una storia di gioventù triste e drammatica. Mi colpì l'associazione di questa canzone di Brian Eno, venata di malinconica dolcezza e intimità, a queste immagini in bianco e nero di adolescenti.
Il loro bacio silenzioso nell'oscurità avvolto da questa musica rendeva perfettamente l'idea dell'atmosfera e di quello sguardo inquieto rivolto verso le profondità interiori che avrei voluto esprimere attraverso questo blog, ed è a questa immagine che si è ispirato il nome BACIONERO.

Low Sea - Sweet Jane

Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane 1989



"Sweet Jane", Lou Reed, Velvet Underground album Loaded, 1970

Standing on the corner,
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, and Jane is her vest,
And me I'm in a rock'n'roll band Hah!
Ridin' in a Stutz Bear Cat, Jim
You know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poets they studied rules of verse
And those ladies, they rolled their eyes

Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

I'll tell you something
Jack, he is a banker
And Jane, she is a clerk
Both of them save their monies, ha
And when, when they come home from work
Oh, Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play
The classical music there, Jim
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers"
All you protest kids
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah

Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!

Some people, they like to go out dancing
And other peoples, they have to work, Just watch me now!
And there's even some evil mothers
Well they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
Y'know that, women, never really faint
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are the only ones who blush!
And that, life is just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart
They wouldn't turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
Oh wouldn't turn around and hate it!

Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane! Sweet Jane!

Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when he smiles
Heavenly wine and roses
Seems to whisper to her when she smiles
La lala lala la, la lala lala la
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
Sweet Jane
