Si avvicina il Natale e torniamo nel 1983, mio anno di nascita e anno di nascita del primo cinepanettone.
Così, per questa domenica ho scelto Moonlight Shadow, opening del mitico Vacanze di Natale dei fratelli Vanzina.
Che siate o meno su una pista da sci, godetevi questo classico di Mike Oldfield, le cui musiche erano già legate al cinema grazie a Tubular Bells de L'Esorcista.
The last that ever she saw him
carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
carried away by a moonlight shadow
Lost in a river last saturday night,
far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
and she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening,
carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving,
carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,
far away on the other side
He was shot six times by a man on the run
and she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away...
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day
Four AM in the morning,
carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming,
carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was glowing in a silvery night,
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night,
but she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven far away...
I stay, I pray, I see you in heaven one day
Far away on the other side,
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five.
The last time ever she'd seen him
carried away by a moonlight shadow
The crowd gathered just to leave him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
far away on the other side
The night was heavy and the air was alive,
but she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
carried away by a moonlight shadow...
Far away on the other side,
Far away on the other side
