Sono tornati, non hanno bisogno di scenografie spaziali per catturare i fan: per quello basta la loro musica. Eddie in un’intervista diceva che la band è come un aereo: Stone e Jeff sono i piloti, Matt è il motore mentre lui e Mike sono le hostess. Ieri il meccanismo ha funzionato alla perfezione il motore era a pieni giri, la direzione di volo sicura e la voce da presentare al passeggero perfetta per farlo sentire a proprio agio. La prima canzone guarda caso è stata “Given To Fly”.
Sulla scaletta niente da dire, è stata sulla falsariga di quelle presentate nelle altre date del tour con tanto Ten e tanto Backspacer e cover già collaudate. Mi ritengo fortunato ad aver sentito “Breath” e “Present Tense” (proposte abbastanza raramente live) e che mi sono sempre piaciute tantissimo. MFC non mi ha mai entusiasmato ma dal vivo ha reso bene. Bellissima la scelta di chiudere con lo zio Neil (anche se ha voluto dire non ascoltare un capolavoro come “Yellow Ledbetter”) con il testo riadattato per omaggiare il tricolore “There’re colors in the streets… Green, White and Red”. Eddie ha davvero un senso del pubblico e dello show fuori dal mondo, incredibile la sua comunicatività.
At one point during our walk in the woods, I took this panoramic shot of a sweeping turn in the trail that symbolizes for me the circular, questioning nature of my father-in-law, who is suffering from a degenerative memory disorder, mostly likely Alzheimer's Disease.
Bill asks the same questions over and over again, but there's an intriguing quality to them, and it is this: they all pertain to the present tense.
Where is? What is? Who is?
He does not fear for the future. He does not regret the past. He just wants to know about the now.
Bill is not the man I've known, but he is still the man I admire.
I'm grateful for the time I'm spending with my father-in-law. :)
Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leanin' out to catch the sun's ray
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this?
All encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone
Redigesting past regrets, Oh
Or you can, come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, Oh
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines?
Have you the belief that the road ahead
Ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we gettin' something out of this
All encompassing trip
You can spend your time alone
Redigesting past regrets, Oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, Oh
Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense
"just a deck of cards
& a jug of wine
and a woman's lies
make a life like mine.
oh, the day we met,
i went astray,
i started rollin' down
that lost highway."
(hank williams)
"sudden, unexpected travel
from home or work,
with the inability to recall some or all of one's past
confusion about personal identity
or assumption of a new identity."
(dsm-iv)
"the future
always so clear to me
had become like a black highway
at night.
we were in uncharted territory now,
making up history
as we went along."
(sarah connor in
terminator 2 judgment day)
"there is no place like home."
(dorothy gale in
the wizard of oz)

Wild Beasts playing songs off their new album "Present Tense" live at Café Central in Weinheim, Germany, August 19th 2014.
They were really great live, much better than I expected actually. I was told beforehand their set might be boring but even if I didn't like all of their songs equally, I wasn't bored for a single moment. Can't decide whether "Mecca" or "Wanderlust" is my favourite song of theirs. Both I can't get enough of and they've been stuck in my ear for ages! If you get the chance to see them somewhere, go, I don't think you'll regret it.
Photos taken on a Samsung NX3000; need another lense for low light settings like these unfortunately, though Wild Beasts almost played in complete darkness.
