Per il primo brano musicale di cui voglio parlare dopo il passaggio da “una canzone al giorno” a “una canzone alla settimana” ho scelto la cantante (adorabile aggiungo io ;-)) australiana naturalizzata inglese Natalie Imbruglia.
Il suo primo grande successo è indubbiamente “Torn” (1997), ma forse in pochi sanno che si tratta di una cover, perché l’originale appartiene alla band americana Ednaswap che l’ha pubblicata due anni prima, in questa versione.
Io però vi incorporo il video di Natalie semplicemente perché… beh, ammetto che avevo un debole per lei 🙂
Vi aggiungo una vera chicca: durante una serata di Amnesty International lei è stata ospite e ha cantato questa canzone con il bravissimo comico, attore e mimo David Armand, un duetto (da un certo momento della canzone fino alla fine) spassosissimo: video.
Buona settimana!

He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well, you couldn’t be that man I adored
You don’t seem to know, or seem to care what your heart is for
But I don’t know him anymore
The conversation has run dry
That’s what’s goin’ on
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late
I’m already torn
Should’ve seen just what was there and not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins and now
I don’t miss it all that much
There’s just so many things
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You’re a little late
I’m already torn
Torn
My inspiration has run dry
And that’s what’s goin’ on
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I’m wide awake and I can see
The perfect sky is torn
I’m all out of faith
This is how I feel
I’m cold and I’m ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You’re a little late
I’m already torn
Torn
Oh
