Mark Hollis (4 January 1955 – 25 February 2019)

E’ giunta oggi come un fulmine a ciel sereno la notizia della prematura scomparsa di Mark Hollis, lead singer dei Talk Talk, una delle band più raffinate e creative degli anni 80 (e di inizio anni 90).

Coeurs & Choeurs desidera rendergli omaggio riproponendovi una magnifica versione live di It’s my Life, registrata a Montreaux nel 1986, che rende giustizia della sua voce bella e inusuale.

Lyrics

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I’d pay to lose
One half won’t do
I’ve asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It’s my life
Don’t you forget
It’s my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I’d tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It’s my life
Don’t you forget
It’s my life
It never ends

I’ve asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It’s my life
Don’t you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends
