Δυο ακόμα τραγούδια στον απόηχο των ημερών, ιδιαιτέρως συμβατά μεταξύ τους, παρά τις υποτιθέμενες στιλιστικές διαφορές : από τους νέο-ψυχεδελικούς Flaming Lips (Oklahoma City – 1983) στους θρύλους του post-punk και του stadium rock, Simple Minds (Γλασκώβη – 1977). Τα άλμπουμ : Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots του 2002, και Good News from the Next World του 1995 αντίστοιχα. 📀 📀 Two more songs in the afterglow of these days, especially compatible despite the supposed stylistic differences : from the neo-psychedelic Flaming Lips (Oklahoma City, 1983) to the post-punk legends and stadium-rock giants, Simple Minds (Glasgow, 1977). The albums: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots from 2002, and Good News from the Next World from 1995, respectively.

00:00 The Flaming Lips : Are You A Hypnotist? 04:39 Simple Minds : Hypnotized

ARE YOU A HYPNOTIST?
I had forgiven you for tricking me again
But I have been tricked again –
Into forgiving you –
What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??
Waving your powers around – the sun eclipse behind the cloud…
I thought I recognized your face
Amongst all of those strangers –
But I am the stranger now
Amongst all of the recognized
What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??
Waving your powers around – the sun eclipse behind the cloud

HYPNOTISED
I can feel the whole world spinning around
I’m losing ground
I feel it every day
And I can feel you coming inside out
I’m losing touch with all reality
I remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside
All I’ve got now in my defence is my innocence
I’ve been hypnotised
I can hear the church bells ringing out
Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day
When all the pretty horses you would ride
Would come right back to feel your energy
I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they filled me inside
All I’ve got now in my defence
Is my innocence
I’ve been hypnotised
You know it won’t be easy
It’s never easy
I’ve been hypnotised
It won’t be easy
So tell me what you think
Do you think I’ll sink Number one scapegoat?
I’m the missing link
All I know I’ve been Hypnotised
It won’t be easy
If you’ve got a heart that burns inside
Let me get inside let me tangle with the flames
If you’ve got a light that burns inside
The heat will rise and melt down once again
I’m waiting for a sign, help me realign
Maybe it’s a sin I know but it’s not a crime
All I know, I’ve been hypnotised
Maybe there’s a way I can find a way
Final hour Judgement day
All I know, I’ve been hypnotised
And then I realise
