Un duetto ipnotico, un amore impossibile cantato dalla voce magica di Thom Yorke dei Radiohead con PJ Harvey in controcanto. Tratto da “Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea”, quinto album di PJ Harvey pubblicato nel 2000. Una canzone che non mi stanco mai di ascoltare.
Can you hear them?
The helicopters
I’m in New York
No need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me
In the eye directly
You met me
I think it’s Wednesday
The evening
The mess we’re in
And ooh
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
Night and day
I dream of
Making love
To you now baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway
Reminding of
This mess we’re in
And ooh
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
What were you wanting?
(What was that you wanted?)
I just wanna say
Don’t ever change now baby
I’d thank you
I don’t think we will meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sun rises
Over the skyscrapers
And the city landscape comes into view
Sweat on my skin
Oh
This mess we’re in
Ooh
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
The city sunset over me
