Alcuni cantautori sono un po’ poeti, nulla da dire… alcune delle frasi migliori messe in musica, tratte da canzoni che ho or ora sottomano:

• James Blunt, Carry you home: “As strong as you were, tender you go / I’m watching you breathing for the last time”
• Ben Harper, Amen omen: “Silence is the loudest / Parting word, you never say”
• Fabrizio De Andrè, Il testamento di Tito: “E scivola il sole al di la’ delle dune / A violentare altre notti”
• Bruce Springsteen, Tougher than the rest: “The road is dark and it’s a thin thin line / But I want you to know I’ll walk it for you anytime”
• Anthony and the Johnsons, You are my sister: “You are my sister / And I love you / May all of your dreams come true”
• Bryan Adams, The best was yet to come: “What’s so good about goodbye / When the best was yet to come”
• Joan Baez, The ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti: “My father dear, I am a prisoner / Don’t be ashamed to tell my crime / The crime of love and brotherhood / And only silence is shame”
• Joan Osborne, One of us: “If God had a name, what would it be? / And would you call it to His face / If you were faced with Him / In all His glory / What would you ask / If you had just one question?”
• Dropkick Murphys, The green fields of France: “Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame / The killing and dying it was all done in vain, / Oh Willie McBride it all happened again, / And again, and again, and again, and again”
• Guns n’ Roses, Civil war: “We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all / That you can’t trust freedom when it’s not in your hands / When everybody’s fighting for their promised land”, “What’s so civil ’bout war anyway”

Naturalmente, alcune di queste frasi potrebbero avere poco senso fuori contesto, nel qual caso cosa aspettate? Aprite un altro tab e andate a cercarvi la canzone su Youtube!
