Blue October - Inner Glow

Era tanto che non trovavo un gruppo che mi piacesse così tanto. O una canzone che non riuscissi a smettere di ascoltare come questa. Che cattura alla perfezione le emozioni, il clima esistenziale che sto vivendo, come se me l'avessero scritta su misura. E passa senza nessuna difficoltà dal biografico al collettivo, allo stupore tramortito con cui mezzo mondo sta guardando i suoi sogni e le sue illusioni andarsene in frantumi. E la soluzione è sempre la stessa: "Keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive / Write your own song!"

I'm like a storm cloud, eager when you go out
Calm again
I'll ask permission for the wrong to win
Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on
In a haze the beginning of your days
Gonna fall down
Got to get back up but at your own pace
Got to fill your cup and find the way
Out of your own maze
Yeah boy, what you said now

And hide the rule book, throw it in the waste
Look strong
Like you belong, cause you do belong
Whether right or wrong, you belong

I'm on your side, if you fail at least you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive
Yeah and pride, don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alone
Write your own song

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song the soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to my song?
It is my song

So here's a preview, shove it under old-new
Or call it rock or pop or Bach or FUCK
Goddamn, where did we go wrong?
Now there's a catergory for every song

Yeah we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side, making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde
Yeah we only want a field we can run through
Yeah we only want a beat we can drum to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side, making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

So stride, if you fail at least you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alive
And pride, don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching celebrating wonder making heart alone
Write your own song

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song, the soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to the song?

Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Ya, write your own song
Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong
Ya, we're writing our own song

Yeah we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side, making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
(Yeah we only want a beat we can drum to)
Whatever happened to the song, the soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
(Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to)
Whatever happened to the song?
(To the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde)

Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song, the soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to the song?

(Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Ya, write your own song
Gonna wake up strong, ya we're all gonna wake up strong
Yeah we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah we only want to fly by the side, making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde)
