e é mesmo dos antípodas que vem uma das (minhas) mais recentes esperanças no futuro. nascido na nova zelândia mas a viver em nova iorque há muitos anos, dean wareham (finalmente a solo depois dos galaxy 500 e luna) assume uma sonoridade mais “americana” e, pelo menos para mim, vai a pouco e pouco ficando mais próximo de kurt wagner e bill callahan. até que enfim.

the air you breathe

land and seas

ruled by heartless people

wars are fought

lovers caught

all by heartless people

but you, you and i

hate to see a flower die

somebody tell me

which way the power lies

i looked at you

and knew you were for me

among them heartless people

and when we met

the hard times just left

along with heartless people

but you, you and i

hate to hear a baby cry

somebody tell me

which way the power lies

no one ever really knew

the trouble in my heart

she had a way with me

right from the very start

before i take my last breath

before they call me home

you can hope for the best

of what is written in stone
