#i quartieri

I was tagged by @starlightervarda to post four songs I’ve had on repeat lately. Thank you so much for this!

Summertime by My Chemical Romance, because I’m a huge MCR bitch and the lyrics “I will even wait all night / Or until my heart explodes” make me soft and it’s summer and Danger Days is a summer album;

9002 by I Quartieri, because I had the horrible idea of re-watching that scene from Suburra and now I’m stuck wallowing with Spadino’s sad face tattooed on the inside of my eyelids and cannot get rid of it;

Il Sogno di Maria by Fabrizio de Andrè, which... this entire album is a trip because it’s about the Gospels and humanizing religious figures, and then it gifts us with lyrics such as “and when he spoke he sounded like a prayer / and at the end of each prayer / he counted a vertebra down my back” and “vague words in my mind / fading in my dream, but imprinted in my womb”. The entire album is a banger, honestly;

Quizás, Quizás, Quizás by Nat King Cole. I recently re-watched In The Mood for Love and now I’m cursed.

E quando arriverà la pioggia

ti troverà bagnata

E quando salirà la luna

Fabbrico dei sogni di cui non ho memoria mai

e mi racconto sempre che cambierò domani.

Io vivo di notte e girano le ore,

strisce di luce bagnano le strade

e vivo sull'attenti tra le lenzuola perché

nei sogni mi allontano.

Di notte veglio su di te,

e se avrò paura sopra il mio cuscino

tu non ti svegliare mai.

E quando arriva il giorno

l'illusione sfuma.
