Муз.открытие недели - группа Shivaree.

[Vova Turov]

Картиночка кликабельная вскользь по теме:


Группа Shivaree, да.
Как и некоторые другие вещи, проникла в мой мир из мира рекламы. Услышал, понравилось, загуглил саундтрэк, нашёл группу, нашёл дискографию или хотя бы greatest hits, и понеслась. Хотя, кому я рассказываю, сами наверняка не раз прибегали к такому методу.
В этот раз выстрелила реклама Kenzo. C песней «John 2/14». Видеоряд банален до баянности - двое в поле, с ярким солнцем в кадре. Ну или что-то в этом роде, я точно не помню, ибо нафига это запоминать, когда оно каждый раз одно и то же. Запоминается музыка, потому что она каждый раз новая, и именно она должна выдирать домохозяйку из объятий кухонной раковины, чтоб повздыхать на "живут же люди". В прошлый раз выстрелил Dior с «I Feel Love» от Donna Summer. Теперь Kenzo. Окей, скушали.

Группа оказалась несколько интереснее, чем просто команда одной-двух песен. Статус "любимого женского вокала Квентина нашего Тарантины" обязывает, как-никак.

Из известного до степени "а, точняк, была такая песня, только не помню, чья именно" (стандартная отмазка, лол) можно как раз взять вышеназванную песню и хит из второго «Kill Bill» - «Goodnight Moon»:

TXT-1

It's so romantic
The neighborhood's littered with white gloves
The flowers were hand picked
They're taping up paper doves

And it's hard to think
When everything's red and pink
It's hard to eat
When everything's sweet

refrain:
I guess it's just the perfect time to send some roses
And touch their noses
And buy them things
Because it's such a tender time for all the ladies
With all those babies
Wearing their wings

Could you be mine
And hot-stuff and maybe and foxy and fine?
Swallow your red-hots
And order the fancy wine

And if you please
Just bring me some honey I'll send for the bees
You throw your rice
It feeds the mice

refrain

You've gotta run
They hate it when you're too quiet
And it's always fun
To close up until they buy it

refrain

TXT-2

There's a nail in the door
And there's glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you're gone

There's a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I'm all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can't stand

What should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Well goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

There's a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he's been watching me
And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something's under the bed
Now it's out in the hedge
There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

Well you're up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
To my front walk
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head

Oh what should I do I'm just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it's not here soon
I might be done
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon
No it won't be too soon 'til I say
Goodnight moon

Небольшое лирическое отступление по поводу первой песни.

Небольшое лирическое отступление по поводу первой песни. «John 2/14» - это стандартная для западной традиции запись цитаты из Библии, в данном случае, Евангелие от Иоанна, Глава 2, стих 14 (приведу четвертую строфу целиком):

13 Приближалась Пасха Иудейская, и Иисус пришел в Иерусалим
14 И нашел, что в храме продавали волов, овец и голубей, и сидели меновщики денег.
15 И, сделав бич из веревок, выгнал из храма всех, и овец, и волов; и деньги у меновщиков рассыпал, а столы их опрокинул.
16 И сказал продающим голубей: возьмите это отсюда и дома Отца Моего не делайте домом торговли.

Есть ли отсюда мощный вывод и посыл согласно тексту самой песни, или всё это СПГС - решать читателю.

Ну и на десерт довольно интересная вещь - «Snake Eyes»,
притча о женщине и змее (да, картинка тут из-за неё).

TXT-3

On the way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman
Found a poor half-frozen snake

His pretty colored skin
Had been all frosted with the dew
Poor thing she cried, I'll take you in
And I'll take care of you.

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

She wrapped him up all cozy
In a comforter of silk
And laid him by the fireside
With some honey and some milk

She hurried home from work that night
And as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived.

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

She clutched him to her bosom
You're so beautiful she cried
But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died.

She stroked his pretty skin again
And kissed him really tight,
Instead of saying thanks,
the snake gave her a vicious bite.

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

I saved you! cried the woman
And you've bitten me but why?
You know your bite is poisonous
And now I'm gonna die.

Ha shut up, silly woman.
Said that reptile with a grin.
You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

@музыка: собственно, Shivaree.

@настроение: You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.

@темы: внезапное, English, motherfucker, DO YOU SPEAK IT???, то ли ещё будет, медиа - фото, многабукаф, ниасилил, медиа - аудио

информативность ночью зашкаливает хд

[Just D.]

P.S. Тоже очень даже. Слышал эту композицию?)

lyrics

I should try to be good
Forever and ever, amen
So I'll touch wood
And hope I don't get caught again
Without my lines
And off the mark
Looking for signs
I can't see here in the dark
My opening won't be a great success
Till you come get me out of
This little black mess

I'll play my part
And say never ever again
Then cross my heart
Cry until you say when
A little cheat while you turn away
Things we repeat one more time
Day after day
I've lost my appetite so nonetheless
It fits like a glove now
My little black mess

Who's to say if we'll know
When it's time for this old thing to go

And so if I'm good
Could you forgive how I've been?
You misunderstood
Now if you'd just let me begin
To put on my face
I'll put on the room
Go take my place
One more time
Then we can resume
It's true I'm sure to die out here unless
You come help me out of
This little black mess
