Ο Bryan Ferry είναι μια από τις πιο οικείες φυσιογνωμίες του blog, ανεξαρτήτως γενεθλίων [είναι γεννημένος Σεπτέμβριο]. Θα ακούσουμε μουσική του τις επόμενες μέρες, ξεκινώντας από τη live version ενός τραγουδιού από το δεύτερο άλμπουμ των Roxy Music, For Your Pleasure.
Tο Viva! αποτελεί σπάνια περίπτωση ζωντανής ηχογράφησης που συνδυάζει την αναμενόμενη αμεσότητα με μια μουσικότητα και σημασία στη λεπτομέρεια που αφήνουν πίσω εκείνες των studio takes… Ακραίο παράδειγμα, η “θρησκευτική” κατάνυξη του ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’.

Bryan Ferry is one of the blog’s most familiar figures, regardless of birthday [he’s September born]. We ‘ll hear music of his in the coming days, starting with the live version of a song from Roxy Music’s second album, For Your Pleasure.
Viva! is a rare case of live recording that combines expected immediacy with musicality and attention to detail that leave those of the studio takes behind… An extreme example is the “religious” devoutness of ‘In Every Dream Home A Heartache’.

In every dream home a heartache
And every step I take
Takes me further from heaven
Is there a heaven?
I’d like to think so
Standards of living
They’re rising daily
But home oh sweet home
It’s only a saying
From bell push to faucet
In smart town apartment
The cottage is pretty
The main house a palace
Penthouse perfection
But what goes on
What to do there
Better pray there
Open plan living
Bungalow ranch style
All of it’s comforts
Seem so essential
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float my new pool
De luxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can’t throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I’ll dress you up daily
And keep you till death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungrateful
I blew up your body
But you blew my mind
Oh those heartaches
Dreamhome heartaches
