Rating: Never heard anything softer, more melancholic, insinuating, enveloping...
at the time, I was still a night owl and this track, on the way back in the car, was the warrior's rest, or if you prefer, a northern Don Quixote searching for smiles to put in his pocket...
and Tracey Thorn was the great comforter...with that neutral and gray voice, subtly emotional...
the only available goddess, let's say...the only benevolent whisper...
melancholy that became light...like a certain Brazil...
and a music almost running on low batteries, seemingly fueled by a mere hint of remaining sweetness...
and an instrumental ending that you wished would never end...like a train in the night...that trains don't stop...oh no, they don't stop...
like a perfect pillow for dreams, or a can opener revealing yourself to yourself...not bad, considering we don't know who we are...
at least I don't know...
the sweetness of the sweetest drug without side effects, a perfect pillow for dreams, or simply to unplug for a moment...
one of those tracks you listen to even twenty times in a row...
the secret is a kind of embrace
the secret is not taking oneself too seriously as Truffaut said (“you must film beauty with an air of nothing and without taking oneself seriously”)...
the secret is a kind of perfect banal note...an apparent grayness that captures colors...
trallalla...

01 Protection (07:52)
This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm
Doing so much damage
But you don't wanna get involved
You tell her she can manage
Now you can't change the way she feels
But you can put your arms around her
I know you wanna live yourself
Could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way you found her?
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small
[you look so small]
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's gone
She'll be the one to catch you when you fall
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a girl and I'm a boy
You're a girl and I'm a boy
Yeah
You're a girl and I'm a boy
You're a girl and I'm a boy
Sometimes you look so small
You need some shelter
Just running round and round, helter skelter
And I lean on you for ease
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love
That's the way It should be
Now I can't change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl
