La Lara è sempre piena di buoni consigli e buone parole e, nel periodo in cui nacque Isabella, disse allo zio incantato: "Domani vai in un negozio di dischi e scegli attentamente un disco da prendere a Isabella. Sarà il primo disco della sua collezione!". Non andai in un negozio, ammetto che mi spaventava l'idea di scegliere attentamente un disco per una persona che non conoscevo ancora tanto, nonostante già l'adorassi. Oggi ascoltavo l'ultimo disco di Tom Morello (a.k.a. The Nightwatchman), The Fabled City e...la numero 7, si chiama Saint Isabelle, diamine! L'ascolto, leggo il testo, è amore a prima vista. Ho trovato il primo disco della collezione della Pallina :)
Tom Morello The Nightwatchman
"Saint Isabelle"
Innocence and Suffering, Loneliness and Grace
Pain and Love and Beauty, Laughter, Death and Faith
Where the rising fortune meets the setting sun
Im afraid, my friend, when one is left it's just the same as none.
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and Mend you, Sanctify you
I'll Hold you and Keep you and Fight beside you
I'll follow you down love, I'm right behind you
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
The textbook's on the table, the radio's on the the shelf
and thank you for the offer but I'll sing this one myself
In reverential silence the crowd sat in the pews
I climbed and climbed for hours but, oh my, what a view.
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and Mend you, Sanctify you
I'll Hold you and Keep you and Fight beside you
I'll follow you down love, I'm right behind you.
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
Im surprised you didn't come forward when the cops dragged me away
There's a museum in the Netherlands I hope to see again someday
There's a painting of a woman gathering wood, it's almost dark.
In a world bereft of meaning, there's a flicker in the heart
I will always stand beside you
Defend you and Mend you, Sanctify you
I'll Hold you and Keep you and Fight beside you
I'll follow you down love, I'm right behind you.
I'll follow you down love, I'm right behind you
Follow you down love, I'm right behind you
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
God make a road straight, God make a road true
Saint Isabelle is coming through
