This piece of music by the Italian guitar maestro has been taking up a fair amount of my ear space recently.

There is something so plaintive yet so joyous in this tune.

I think this music is quite complicated; I didn't "get it" on first listening, but on subsequent plays it really dug itself in to my musical sensitivities. As a guitar player I confess that I listen with my eyes (How did he play that? Did he tap or hammer on?) as well as my ears, but I defy anyone with any musical sensitivities not to be moved by this piece of music.

Here are fretmajick and irrepressible good vibes to lift the spirits of even the darkest soul.

An oasis of relief in the black terror of space. I wish this piece of music went on for much longer...

Cordant grooviness.




"Matte Kudasai"

Still, by the window pane,
Pain, like the rain that's falling.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.

When, when was the night so long,
Long, like the notes I'm sending.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.

Discordant grooviness.

1985. What a year.




Duel

Eye to eye stand winners and losers
Hurt by envy, cut by greed
Face to face with their own disillusion
The scars of old romances still on their cheeks
And when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
Just have been lies the memories of gone by time
Would still recall the lie

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees
You start bleeding I start screaming

It's too late the decision is made by fate
Time to prove what forever should last
Whose feelings are so true as to stand the test
Whose demands are so strong as to parry all attempts
And when blow by blow the passion dies sweet little death
Just have been lies the memories of gone by time
Would still recall the lie

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees
You start bleeding I start screaming

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees
You start bleeding I start screaming

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will have you on your knees
You start bleeding I start screaming

The first cut won't hurt at all
The second only makes you wonder
The third will leave you on your knees
You start bleeding I start screaming....



Oh look - Sophie Ellis-Bextor recorded and released a cover of "Duel" in August 2007. It was the B-side to a single called, "Today the Sun's on Us". Both of these are news to me, but I'm glad to have found her cover, as she makes a good fist of it.
