(song of the day): Beck – Uneventful Days ( Hyperspace – Capitol Records, 2019)

A distanza di due anni da Colors, album che gli è valso un Grammy nella categoria Best Alternative Music Album, Beck è in procinto di pubblicare un nuovo disco.  Hyperspace, questo il titolo che è anche quello di una delle due ultime tracce disvelate, che vanno ad aggiungersi a Saw Lightning, apparsa a inizio anno, sarà disponibile a partire dal prossimo 22 novembre e potrà fregiarsi della partecipazione di più di un nome prestigioso. Pharrell Williams, per cominciare, ma non solo. La lista degli artisti invitati prevede, fra gli altri, il Coldplay Chris Martin e la sulfurea Sky Ferreira.

Come song of the day abbiamo scelto di proporvi Uneventful Days, brano che mescola nuances elettroniche a movenze rap e venature r’n’b, scritto proprio con Pharrell Williams, di cui vi facciamo scoprire musica e testo.

Buon ascolto !

 

Lyrics

Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these never-ending battle lines
Everything has changed and nothing feels right

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it’s gone
I know, I know, I know it’s gone
Ooh yeah

Never-ending days, never-ending nights
Everything I say, I know I can’t get right
It means infinitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don’t know my mind

I don’t even know what’s wrong (the days without you)
Only ten minutes to go (leave me cold and alone)
I don’t even know now
Found my way without you (no no no)
I don’t even know now (oh, gonna leave me alone)

Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Nothing you could say could make it come to light
I don’t have a way to make you change your mind

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it’s gone
I know, I know, I know
It’s gone
Yeah

Never-ending days, never-ending nights
Time is moving slow, I don’t even mind
It means infinitely more to me than life
Got nowhere to go, got nowhere to fly

Haven’t said a word now
Money getting thin now, I’m eating now
Have another round of drink now
Nothing but a low down, let down
You better not get down, left out
What am I really damn thinkin’ ‘bout?
Been in and out of love all night

Never-ending days, never-ending nights
Everything I do, you know I don’t do right
I’ve been waiting around all night
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
