it was all so strange / and so surreal/ that a ghost should be so practical / only if for a night

[teamvampireweekend]

In a new article for The Sunday Times (UK), Ezra talks about Vampire Weekend’s new album ‘Father of the Bride’, supporting Bernie Sanders, and dealing with the state of the world.

“Everyone’s identity defines how they think about life. So I don’t get frustrated when someone doesn’t like Vampire Weekend because they don’t like my voice, or harpsichords. The only thing that’s bothered me is when people look at us through the lens of identity, but not through the lens of my very particular identity, as a Jewish American, born in New York, raised in New Jersey. It’s a big door to open. Clearly, the relationship between Jewish identity, anti-semitism and Zionism is complex, but if even the world of politics is having a hard time figuring out how to talk about it, there’s part of me that’s, like, I don’t need to encourage music journalists to do that!”

A SIMONE - Alda Merini

(dedicata a Simone Cristicchi)

Non piangere mai

su chi ha abbandonato la sua vita nei manicomi

L’hanno fatto spontaneamente

per non essere molestati

E’ gente che ha un’anima sola

e se perde quella muore

Voi uomini avete più anime

e molte maschere sul vostro viso

Giocate in enormi teatri

e in enormi teatri del non senso

Ma noi eravamo felici

di andare verso la morte

tragica soluzione di una vita

che non volevamo

*Alda Merini scrisse questa poesia per Simone Cristicchi. Aveva chiesto di poterlo incontrare, dopo aver ascoltato la canzone “Ti regalerò una rosa”.
