Another duplicate. They should be banned
I was doing a quick calculation. Who has never found themselves counting, for example, how much time it takes to go buy cigarettes from the shop nearby, only to translate the result obtained into weeks, months, years of tobacco? How much time wasted. Or gained, who knows what one can encounter in those 50 meters of road. Never trust numbers. How can a man confide his deepest secrets and most hidden desires to a number? Some do and always will, I fear. But it's infinitely sweet to immerse oneself in a nebulous past, made more of sensations than of memories now erased over time by the distraction of memory.
You beat, you pound, you keep pulsing, but you do nothing other than being a copy of yourself, you do nothing other than delude us, but we play along, as always. We are happy to do it for you, we trust you, you are so sunny, available, and maybe loyal. Someone might consider you fake, keep going like that... Oh, I remember we used to run away from home, pants held up by an invisible entity, and we had to do it, feel the breath shorten, harder, stronger, feel the gasp of our breath now distorted. You don't think you can make it, yet you caught that tram, you won, and someone will always be willing to give you a pat on the back, look, that one over there is offering you a smoke. You did it out of passion, out of boredom, to test what you considered an enviable physique.
But this metallic voice really doesn't suit the situation, they should stop deluding us, we have a heart, or at least there's a rumor that we have one. You've arrived, breathless, victorious, you'll never see that guy with the smoke again, you don't care, you have to go, yes let's go, for the sake of saying it, for the strain of implementing your plans to conquer the world. Our anti/education demands it, you'll be the king's champion, your sword will wound and will never be satisfied with bandits, enemies, revolutionaries. You felt like that, but you didn't calculate the consequences. It happens, now you play who succumbs first. Who knows why there always has to be a winner and a loser, those voices again, maybe it's a bass, but where do you find a bass at this altitude?
The beautiful and the tragic, but not for me, is that their laughter will accompany you two, and I will watch you with them, pointing at the most foolish, mocking those who don't move their hips enough. It happens that you feel attracted to that voice, in fact, it's more than normal, but you don't know the screams, or the worst silences. I leave you. It's me again, just now that it's over, but no, I'm going back up, if you do it again, I'll always be with you, because your spaceship is departing, don't do it, you don't need to go, I miss you. Your guitars and your gaze will not make me change my mind about your intentions and mine, I will love you forever, but don't kiss me now.
I will stop loving you. My limit. I will always be able to chase you, to catch you, never to keep you. So go away! What has been, has been, I don't need to enter vortices of anxiety for things like these. You take me using the worst means, I might stop the beat, but it's strong, I don't hear you and I avoid doing it. We stayed awake, we talked about facts, anecdotes, attempts never brought to completion, and we weren't well, but we did it. No, you won't catch me but these waves are high, I can't swim. Once it was better, you could not think about it and enjoy your ignorance.
Suddenly we have started to extend our fears, we are all perverse/twisted, but as you feel now you will never feel again. In the clouds of our evil, we will all leave each other, we will go to unknown places to investigate ourselves and, oh, a bewildered look will flash on your face. I see it. I feel it written somewhere. We will never think about it. We will be totally strangers. You will remember it with a smile or have too many children and bills to pay to do so. We will not meet, we will not compare our ever-deepening wounds in the light of the sun.
It happened that the coils of our evil tightened, and breathlessly we could read everything in our eyes. The cure was indifference, terrible, disheartening, malevolent, these percussion are used, you wanted to give them to me as new, each time the cure overlapped with the evil, and vice versa, in an infinity that I wonder how we managed to survive. The fault or merit of that beat, I'm sure.
You will see that one day we will all meet again, it will return, and we will dance and sing and hail some of our sign of belonging and we will be satisfied, we won't have any more desires except to hold each other in any form, hold each other until it hurts, as we did once, as kids, but once again the candles will go out in another explosion of solar rays, uninvited, coming again to divide and divide us and yes, it will happen. We will not see each other anymore. You know it will be so.

01 Movin' on Up (03:50)
I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me
I was blind, now I can see
You made a believer, out of me
Chorus
I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on
I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I've got no bounds
I was lost, now I'm found
I believe in you, I got no bounds
I'm movin' on up now
Gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on

02 Slip Inside This House (05:16)
Finer worlds that you uncover
Plant the path you want to roam
Live where you're heart can be given
And your life starts to unfold
You think you can't you wish you could
I know you can, I wish you would
Trip inside this house as you pass by
Trip inside this house as you pass by
If your limbs begin dissolving
In the water that you tread
All surroundings are evolving
In the stream that clears your head
Come disciples to thee unending
Subtleties of rhythm power
Trip inside this house as you pass by
Sweep the shadows from your eyes
Sweep the realm of dark aside
Trip inside this house as you pass by
Trip inside this house as you pass by
03 Don't Fight It, Feel It (06:53)

Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' up, gettin' down, gonna get it on
Gonna live the life I love
I'm gonna love the life I live
Gonna get high
Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' high, gettin' happy gettin' gone
Gonna dance to the music all night long
Gettin' up, gettin' down, gonna get it on
Gonna live the life I love
I'm gonna love the life I live

Gonna get high 'til the day I die
Rama lama lama fa fa fa

04 Higher Than the Sun (03:38)
My brightest star's my inner light let it guide me
Experience and innocence bleed inside me
Hallucinogens can open me or untie me
I drift in inner space, free of time
I find a higher state of grace, in my mind
I'm beautiful
I wasn't born to follow
I live just for today, don't care about tomorrow
What i've got in my head you can't buy, steal or borrow
I believe in live and let live
I believe you get what you give
I've glimpsed, I have tasted, fantastical places
My soul's an oasis, higher than the sun
I'm higher than the sun

07 Loaded (07:02)
(Dialogue: The Wild Angels, Peter Fonda's Character)
Just what is it that you want to do?
We wanna be free
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
And we wanna get loaded
And we wanna have a good time
That's what we're gonna do
No way baby lets go
We're gonna have a good time
We're gonna have a party
I don't wanna lose your love (4x)
Just what is it you wanna do?
I'm gonna get deep down, deep down
I said, (I'm gonna get deep down) deep down
Woo hey!
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
Let's go!
I don't wanna lose your love (2x)
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do
Ahhh yeah
08 Damaged (05:39)
Sweet summer days
When I was feeling so fine
Just you and me girl
Was a beautiful time
Oh yeah
Said I felt so happy
My my my
I was through with doubt and pain
All the love I felt hadn't been in vain
Got damaged
I got damaged
I got damaged
I lost myself in you
I'd wake up beside you
You'd hold me in your arms
Nothing and nobody's gonna do me
Any harm oh yeah
Said I felt so happy
My my my
And the way I felt inside
Made me feel so glad to be alive
Got damaged
I got damaged
I got damaged
I lost myself in you
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
Do do doo
I'd never felt so happy
I'll never feel that way again
No, no, no, no, no, no
My my my
People can be precious
But they ain't for keeping
I got too possessive
But souls ain't for stealing
You were my addiction
I got strung out and crazy
Hit me like a fever
When you left me baby
Stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
I was stone, stone, stone in love with you
(Repeat to end)

By Mellon
"The perfect fusion between House and Pop invents a new and brilliant formula that changed the course of the '90s."
"Primal dared such moves with such ease and calmness, proving how far ahead they were compared to stagnant Brit-pop."
By Mr. Wolf
"Screamadelica cannot be denied the credit of being one of the most creative and inspired albums of recent years."
"By giving free rein to everyone’s creativity and inspiration, this album was born where rock takes on unusual and inspired forms."
By Battlegods
"Screamadelica is precisely that kind of sonic Eden—a box where everything is in its right place with no dead spots or imperfections."
"'Higher Than The Sun' is the true zenith of the rave era, blending pulsing dub bass with ethereal vocals and swaying drum kits."
By Conteverde
Screamadelica was the awakening from the sexy and scorching nightmare of Bobby Gillespie, probably the Zenith of a personality certainly chaotic but deeply transformative and transparent.
We wanna be free, we wanna be free to do what we wanna do.
