Because the night

Cantante: 10.000 Maniacs

Take me now, baby, here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I’m in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can’t hurt you now
Can’t hurt you now, can’t hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Have I doubt when I’m alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can’t touch you now
Can’t touch you now, can’t touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers…

La voce della cantante è particolare: dolce e calda.

Questa canzone mi fa ricordare la scena di un teatro di Milano. Nel silenzio assoluto, le note iniziali si alzarono in un crescendo surreale per fermarsi bruscamente prima del ritornello.

Sul palco uno degli attori era completamente nudo…

Because the night belongs to lovers

Queste parole rimangono nella mente e diventano proprie. Certo che la notte appartiene agli amanti.
