Esistono canzoni che appena le senti capisci che ti sono già entrate dentro, così, all’improvviso, iniettando dentro di te una sensazione che sfugge al tuo controllo.
Canzoni che non ti lasciano respirare, che ti esplodono dentro lasciandoti ammutolito, in ascolto.
E in effetti probabilmente l’avevo già sentita in diversi film (Donnie Darko, La ragazza della porta accanto, 13 reason why), ma più probabilmente era già dentro me prima ancora di essere scritta.
“È una canzone che riguarda la sensazione di essere predestinati“.
Così ne parlava Ian Stephen McCulloch, il leader degli Echo & the Bunnymen, mentre raccontava di come il pezzo fosse stato registrato principalmente a Parigi, tra bottiglie di Beaujolais e centinaia di pacchetti di Gauloises, negli Studios des Dames e Davout, attaccati a Monmartre. La leggenda, probabilmente messa in giro da McCulloch stesso, vuole che il ritornello della canzone gli fosse apparso in sogno cantato nientemeno da Frank Sinatra.

“I’ve always said that The Killing Moon is the greatest song ever written. I’m sure Paul Simon would be entitled say the same about Bridge Over Troubled Water, but for me The Killing Moon is more than just a song. It’s a psalm, almost hymnal. It’s about everything, from birth to death to eternity and God – whatever that is – and the eternal battle between fate and the human will. It contains the answer to the meaning of life. It’s my “To be or not to be …” […] We went to Leningrad, then this place called Kazam, where nobody from outside Russia had been since 1943 or something. We went to a museum full of tractor parts and this very strange party organised by the young communists where everyone wore pressed Bri-nylon flares. But there was a lot of music and we came back full of ideas of Russian balalaika bands, which Les used for the middle of the song – this rumbling, mandolin-style bass thing.”Intervista da The Guardian. Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant: how we made The Killing Moon

Testo:
The Killing Moon
ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN
Ocean Rain, 1984
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
or cancel it though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give your...self to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
La la la la la...
