Recensione: LEWIS CAPALDI – Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent
Abbiamo già Ed Sheeran, abbiamo George Ezra, Tom Walker e una serie di cantanti cod-soul, tristi, afflitti, massacrati da storie di amore finite male, dolorose, piene di rimpianti. Adesso abbiamo anche Lewis Capaldi!
Non è che non mi piace. Lewis, questo ragazzotto di 22 anni di Glasgow, ha una bellissima voce profonda che avvolge, coccola, proprio come uno di quelle coperte che si vorrebbero prendere e sprofondarci dentro quando una storia d’amore ci fa soffrire. Va bene è bravo è talentuoso ma ce n’era davvero bisogno ?
L’album, scritto insieme a Jamie Hartman (Calvin Harris & Rag N Bone Man), Malay (Frank Ocean & Lorde) & TMS, ha un titolo volutamente ironico che definisce il lavoro dal punto di vista delle liriche come candido ma per il resto regala un fermo immagine degli alti e bassi della crescita, dell’amore, delle perdite e delle sofferenze di cuore.
Non c’è originalità, creatività, ogni canzone mi ricorda qualcosa o qualcuno.
Il disco ideale per crogiolarsi nella propria sfiga e pensare alla tua ex ormai inevitabilmente tra le braccia di un altro !
Score: 6,00
Tre brani da ascoltare subito: Bruises – Someone You Loved – Hollywood
Quotes:
Counting days, counting days
Since my love up and got lost on me
And every breath that I’ve been taken
Since you left feels like a waste on me
I’ve been holding on to hope
That you’ll come back when you can find some peace
‘Cause every word that I’ve heard spoken
Since you left feels like a hollow street
I’ve been told, I’ve been told to get you off my mind
But I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind
Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my side
( Bruises)
I’m going under, and this time, I fear there’s no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal, somebody to know
Somebody to have, somebody to hold
It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you’re not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
I’m going under, and this time, I fear there’s no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know, somebody to heal
Somebody to have just to know how it feels
It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same
I guess I kinda like the way you help me escape
Now the day bleeds into nightfall
And you’re not here to get me through it all
I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved
(Someone You Loved)
Lately, I’m getting lost on you
You got me doing things I never thought I’d do
Never spent so long on a losing battle
But lately, giving up don’t seem to matter
Every day, I’m a slave to the heartache
And you’re wasting away every night
I don’t wanna leave you lonely
But I’ve run out of love this time
You know that I adore you
Though I couldn’t give enough
Hope you’ll be safe in the arms of another
‘Cause I can’t take the weight of your love
(Lost on You)
