La musica New wave, sinthpop, elettronica o quel che l’è (qua le definizioni dei generi van via come il pane) degli anni ’80 mi piace un po’ tutta, gli Ultravox più di altri, alcune canzoni degli Ultravox mi piacciono più di altre degli stessi. Hymn è una di queste.

Il testo di Hymn (che significa Inno)

Give us this day all that you showed me.
The power and the glory ’til thy kingdom come.

Give us this day all that you showed me,
The power and the glory ’til thy kingdom come.
Give me all the story book told me,
The faith and the glory ’til thy kingdom comes.

And they said that in our time,
All that’s good will fall from grace.
Even saints would turn their face,
In our time.

And they told us that in our days,
Different words said in different ways,
Have other meaning from he who says,
In our time.

And they said that in our time,
We would reap from their legacy,
We would learn from what they had seen,
In our time.

And they told us that in our days,
We would know what was high on high,
We would follow and not defy,
In our time.

Faithless in faith.
We must behold the things we see.
