Il Giorno di San Valentino - The Ballad of Harry Warden

Ho ricevuto un paio di email da parte di chi ha ascoltato La Cosa di Actarus venerdì scorso, nelle quali mi venivano chieste maggiori informazioni sulla canzone andata in onda prima del mio intervento. Si tratta di The Ballad of Harry Warden, canzone composta da Paul Zaza, noto autore di colonne sonore horror, per il film Il Giorno di San Valentino (My Bloody Valentine 1981). Zaza si è occupato anche del testo che poi ha affidato alla voce di un noto cantante scozzese, John McDermott.

A voi il testo e la canzone da ascoltare fino a che le vostre orecchie non inizieranno a sanguinare.

"The Ballad of Harry Warden"
Music and Lyrics by: Paul Zaza


Once upon a time, on a sad Valentine,
in a place known as Henniger Mine.
A legend began, every woman and man,
would always remember the time.

And those who remain, were never the same,
you could see, the fear in their eyes.
Once every year, as the fourteenth draws near,
there's a hush all over the town.

For the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day,
is a curse, that'll live on and on.
And no will know, as the years come and go,
of the horror from long time ago.

Twenty years came and went, and everyone spent,
the fourteenth, in quiet regret.
And those still alive, know the secret survives,
in the darkness, that looms in the night.

For the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day,
is a curse, that'll live on and on.
And no one will know, as the years come and go,
of the horror, from long time ago.

In this little town, when the fourteenth comes 'round,
there's a silence, and fear in the air.
Remember the morn, that the legend was born,
all the shock, and the horror was there.

For the legend they say, on a Valentine's Day,
is a curse, that'll live on and on.
And no one will know, as the years come and go,
of the horror, from long time ago.

And no one will know, as the years come and go,
of the horror, from long time ago.
