The wind

Wind

E quanto puo’ essere dolce, malinconico, triste, nostalgico il vento? E quanto mi piace il vento addosso, la parola vento, wind, il vento che vorrei essere, la leggerezza eppure la forza, il potere di spostarsi e la forza benefica di nascita e di morte insita nel vento, genesi e distruzione.
E tutte le canzoni che parlano di vento, sono innumerevoli, quasi come per l’amore, e finalmente ho ascoltato la versione prima della piu’ bella canzone di vento che io conosca, quella The Wind di Russ Freeman, del 1954, composta per Chet Baker, in una versione sempre del 1954, in un live a Boston, suonata in un pub, con la voce di Chet che sa di vento, con il soffio della sua tromba che ricorda il vento. Suonata in quartetto ed incisa poche settimane dopo con l’orchestra. E mi ci perdo in quel senso di magnifica sospensione del brano, in quei vuoti, nelle folate di suono che vengono portate, anche con quelle imprecisioni inevitabili ma con quel coinvolgimento profondo e devastante di cui Chet era capace.
Vento, vento che vorrei addosso, che vorrei riuscisse a portare lontano pensieri inutili, sgradevoli, opprimenti.

Because of one….

caress
my world
was overturned
at the very start
all my bridges burned

Never let me go

Ancora ed ancora ci riprovo e ci riprovero’ questa volta con un pizzico di voicings di evans nella testa dovuti agli ascolti recenti. Questa canzone e’ la perfezione formale della canzone popolare, l’adoro, la desidero profondamente, eppure continuo a non riuscire a tirare fuori quello che vorrei, quello che sento su quel rebemolle, su quelle deliziose none diminuite del tema.

Windmills of your mind

quoyle Ottobre 27th, 2007

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnaval balloon
Like a carousell that’s turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it’s face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it’s own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it’s face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking allong the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
