por vezes ouvem-se algumas canções de dean wareham e é isso:
sentimos a brisa da noite e, por um momento, somos felizes e livres

happy and free for a while

happy and free for a while

starshine, starshine, faintly blowing through the night time air

there’s nothing wrong with the road we’re on

searching, searching, feel the secret of the shining, yeah

it’s coming on and it’s coming strong

happy and free for a while

happy and free for a while

starshine, starshine, faintly blowing through december lights

there’s nothing wrong with the road we’re on

dreaming, dreaming, take the dawning by surprise

there’s nothing wrong with the road we’re on

happy and free for a while

happy and free for a while

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
