My Morning Jacket – Dondante

Album

Z is the fourth studio album by psychedelic rock band My Morning Jacket.

This collection features a much spacier and more polished sound than previous releases, making heavy use of synthesizers throughout and incorporating reggae and dub influences. The heavy reverb that was a defining characteristic of the band's prior recordings is largely absent. The songs on the album are more focused and shorter compared to the band's previous albums.

A double-live album, Okonokos, was recorded at the end of the Z Tour and was released on September 26, 2006; it features live versions of eight of Z's 10 songs.

In 2012, Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 457 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The magazine has also ranked the album 31st on its list of the 100 best albums of the 2000s and 23rd of the 40 greatest stoner albums ever.

Z è il quarto album in studio del gruppo musicale statunitense My Morning Jacket, pubblicato nel 2005. Dondante fa parte dell'album.

Artist

My Morning Jacket is an American rock band formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1998. The band currently consists of vocalist/guitarist Jim James, bassist Tom Blankenship, drummer Patrick Hallahan, guitarist Carl Broemel, and keyboardist Bo Koster.

MMJ's sound, rooted in rock and country, is often experimental and psychedelic. The group amassed a following beginning in the 2000s in part due to their live performances.

The group first found success in Europe after the release of its debut album, The Tennessee Fire (1999). Its next release, At Dawn (2001), led to a large stateside following and preceded several lineup changes. After signing to major label ATO Records, the group released two albums, It Still Moves (2003) and Z (2005), with the latter representing a critical breakthrough.

The group's next release, Evil Urges (2008), was more polarizing for fans and critics, while Circuital (2011), its sixth album, saw a more measured response. After many years of side projects and touring, the band's seventh album, The Waterfall, was released in 2015.

I My Morning Jacket sono una band statunitense di Louisville, fondata da Jim James (voce) e Tom Blankenship (basso) nel 1998.

Storia

I My Morning Jacket si sono formati nel 1998 a Louisville, nel Kentucky, dal frontman e cantante Jim James, dal bassista Tom Blankeship, dal chitarrista Johnny Quaid e dal batterista J. Glenn, iniziando come band emo-punk con il nome di Winter Death Club, cambiando ufficialmente nome nel 1998 nell'attuale My Morning Jacket.

Debuttano con l'album The Tennessee Fire nel maggio 1999, e l'anno successivo aggiungono alla formazione il tastierista Danny Cash. Il secondo album At Dawn viene pubblicato nel 2001 e lo stesso anno J. Glenn venne rimpiazzato da Chris "KG" Guetig, che a sua volta fu sostituito da Patrick Hallahan, amico di infanzia di Jim.

In a dream, I saw you walkin'
Like a kid alive and talkin', that was you
In the classroom, you were teachin'
On the streets you were policin' that was you

To the one I now know most
I will tell them of your ghost like a thing that never, ever was

And all that ever mattered
Will some day turn back to batter like a joke
Behind thin walls, you hid your feelings
Takes four legs to make a ceilin' like a thing

In a dream I saw you walkin'
With your friends alive and talkin', that was you
Well I saw it in your movements
And even though you never knew it, well I knew

Just how sweet it could be
If you'd never left these streets

You had me worried, so worried that this would last
You had me worried, so worried that this would last
But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass
But now I'm learning, learning that this will pass

In un sogno, ti ho visto camminare
Come un bambino vivo e parlante, quello eri tu
In classe, stavi insegnando
Per le strade stavi controllando quello eri tu

A quello che ora conosco di più
Racconterò loro del tuo fantasma come una cosa che non è mai stata

E tutto ciò è mai stato importante
Un giorno tornerà alla pastella come uno scherzo
Dietro muri sottili, hai nascosto i tuoi sentimenti
Ci vogliono quattro gambe per fare un soffitto come una cosa

In un sogno ti ho visto camminare
Con i tuoi amici vivi e chiacchieroni, eri tu
Beh, l'ho visto nei tuoi movimenti
E anche se non l'hai mai saputo, lo sapevo bene

Quanto potrebbe essere dolce
Se non avessi mai lasciato queste strade

Mi hai fatto preoccupare, così preoccupato che questo sarebbe durato
Mi hai fatto preoccupare, così preoccupato che questo sarebbe durato
Ma ora sto imparando, imparando che questo passerà
Ma ora sto imparando, imparando che questo passerà
