[Musica] Solsbury Hill (Sia)

Oggi la rubrica musicale ospita un brano realizzato per donarne il ricavato a Humane World for Animals, un'associazione a difesa degli animali che, assieme ad HSI, ha contribuito all'approvazione di centinaia di leggi fondamentali, ha salvato e curato migliaia di animali da affezione, allevati e selvatici e ne ha protetti altri milioni. Insieme e più forti, le due associazioni prenderanno le parti degli animali negli episodi di crudeltà e sofferenza, promuovendo un cambiamento che sia duraturo nel tempo.

Solsbury Hill

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen, had no choice.

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home.

To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut.

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home
Hey, back home.

When illusion spin her net

I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me.

Today I don't need a replacement

I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said
"You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

They've come to take me home
They've come to take me home
They've come to take me home
They've come to take me home...
