Una canzone che ho sempre amato è "Walking on broken glass", di Annie Lennox, a partire dal video in cui figurano oltre lei uno spassoso Hugh Laurie (eh si, vedrete il Dottor House in vesti da cicisbeo ) e un serioso John Malkovich.
Mi chiedevo come mai nel finale del video Malkovich appaia in fondo alle scale, a meno che non sia dotato di teletrasporto, ma a quanto ho letto non c'è stato molto tempo per le riprese e il finale è dovuto cambiare; lui doveva seguirla giù per le scale e invece è comparso giù una pecca, che rovina un po' il video, ma vabbè...
Bellissimi i vestiti e troppo forte la parte della cattiva interpretata dalla sempre gelida Annie, che personalmente adoro.
Cosa dice? Ecco qui:
You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew
But I don't care for sugar honey if I can't have you
Since you've abandoned me
My whole life has crushed
Won't you pick the pieces up
cause it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
The suns still shining in the big blue sky
But it don't mean nothing to me
Oh let the rain come down
Let the wind blow through me
I'm living in an empty room
With all the windows smashed
And I've got so little left to lose
That it feels just like I'm walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
And if you're trying to cut me down
You know that I might bleed
Cause if you're trying to cut me down
I know that you'll succeed
And if you want to hurt me
There's nothing left to fear
Cause if you want to hurt me
You're doing really well my dear
Now everyone of us was made to suffer
Everyone of us was made to weep
But we've been hurting one another
And now the pain has cut too deep...
So take me from the wreckage
Save me from the blast
Lift me up and take me back
Don't let me keep on walking...
Walking on broken glass
Walking on walking on broken glass
