Careless Whisper

Per chi a metà degli anni 80 era sessualmente attivo (intendo con altri), la ballatona di George Michael di cui al titolo del presente simpatico articoletto era semplicemente ineluttabile, come la messa in piega del ciuffo, la conchetta controlla alito e le spalline smontabili nelle giacche.

Quando partiva il sax, cominciavano le speranze, si dilatavano le pupille, si inturgidivano i pensieri.

Beh, 25 anni dopo, riascoltarla nella sua versione originale fa sempre il suo straordinario effetto, ma l’altra sera in macchina ne ho sentito la cover roca dei Seether, dove è sparito il sax ed è entrato il distorsore. E’ questa . 

A voi il giudizio. E siccome Careless Whisper è ormai un classico, merita la trascrizione del testo

Careless Whisper

 

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand

and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies,

something in your eyes

calls to mind

a silver screen
and all its sad good-byes
 


- Chorus -
I‘m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool
Should’ve known better

than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance

that I’d been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

 


Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind.
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is the all you’ll find
 


(Repeat chorus)
 

 


Never without your love

 

with the things we’d want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived
this dance forever
But now who’s gonna dance with me
Please stay
 

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other

 


(Repeat chorus)
 

 

 

(Now that you’re gone)
Now that you’re gone

 

 

(Now that you’re gone)
Was what I did so wrong, 

so wrong
that you had to leave me alone
