“Knock Me On The Head” è il nuovo singolo degli Stornoway,la band indie-folk inglese pronta a tornare a marzo col secondo album “Tales From Terra Firma” a tre anni dal precedente che ottenne il disco d’argento in UK.La canzone che ascoltiamo non mi soddisfa appieno almeno nei primi ascolti e sembra troppo lineare e algida per i miei gusti,per quanto le armonie vocali ed il mestiere non manchino.

TESTO
there’s a hunger in the air and lemons swollen in the trees
when shadows fall across the moon, i strain my ears towards the breeze
a wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery
withered limbs under the sand for an hourglass eternity
you hung an albatross around my neck
when you needed to knock me on the head and say
“no! no! no! no! no!”
jackal legs and kangal dogs are cloaked in darkest forestry
a woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury
you hung an albatross around my neck
but you needed to knock me on the head and say
“no! no! no! no! no!”
i’ve seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
i need a body to knock me on the head and say
“no! no! no! no! no!”
i saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of unforgiving waves
it hovered over salty air and i couldn’t tear my eyes away
and somewhere in between the lines i drifted into fantasy
but you’re the only open book, a portal to a star-crossed sea
you hung an albatross around my neck
when you needed to knock me on the head and say
“no! no! no! no! no!”
i’ve seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
i need a body to knock me on the head and say…
“no! no! no! no! no!”
i’ve seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
i need a body to knock me on the head and say
“no! no! no! no! no!”
