it took nearly ten years. steve, i cant thank you enough!
CONTROPOTERE - Solo Selvaggi
what i hold in my hands however is a bootleg.. [i suppose i COULD be a cheapo repressing. maybe].
it still says Skuld records on it but it's two seperate photocopies of the front and back.. the lyrics on the inside of the back NOT a fold out like the original.. and the colors of the photocopy vary from the front cover page to the second back page..(starting yellow and turning orange)
this is what is SHOULD look like :
this is what MINE looks like :
i sound like i'm complaining.. I'M NOT.. i'm obsessing.
holding this record like its gold.. investigating every inch of every part of it..
the actual record itself looks perfect, exact.
i just keep flipping it.. listening over and over to the four songs.
granted i've got a cd copy of this record.
so i've had the songs for a long while.. i mean.. its even on my goony ipod.
BUT
its not the same!
in this moment i'm 18, sitting on a couch in berkeley with my boyfriend, surrounded by kids more smelly and punk rock then my heart could have imagined and this magical record playing....
some girl who's name i've long forgot is singing along as best she could to the words that she memorized out of the record sleeve.
i thought it was "italian", its Neapolitan.
its beautiful.
thank you!
Quello Che Hai - What You've Got
e in un mundo senza fine / and into a never ending world
senza un ombra da dignita / without a trace of dignity
e in un mundo senza essenza / and into a world without essence
in cui regna solo falsita / where what reigns is only falsity
e in un mundo di miseria / and into a world of misery
dove sopraffare e normalita / where overwhelming is normality
e in un mundo di catene / and into a world of chains
dove manca solo, solo liberta / where whats missed is just freedom
il mio mundo sta morendo / my world is dying
grida sete di liberta / its screaming thirst for freedom
quello che hai none solo una tua scelti / what you've got is not just your own choice
tutti attorno e solo un sipario / all around is just a curtain
poche parole un immagine perfetta / few words a perfect image
nessun nemico troppo forte nessun motivo per scappare / no enemy too strong, no reason to run away
quello che hai non e solo una tua scelta / what you've got is not just your own choice
un specchio frantumato / a shattered mirror
una corsa che ti allontana / a run that averts
nessun nemico troppo forte nessun motivo per scappare / no enemy to strong, no reason to run away
suoni negli astri / sounds in the planets
Indomiti / Untamed
solchi indevialbli specchi accecanti riflessi di flamme / undetourable drills, blinding mirrors reflects of flames
solo selvaggi in liberta / only savages at liberty
quello che haie non e solo una tua scelta / what you've got is not just your own choice
poche parole un immagine perfetta / few words for a perfect image
non piu filosofia azione diretta / no more philosophy, straight action
suoni negli astri / sounds in the planets
Indomiti / Untamed
solchi indevialbli specchi accecanti riflessi di flamme / undetourable drills, blinding mirrors, reflects of flames
solo selvaggi in liberta / only savages at liberty
