Die walisischen Neogrunger um die blonde Sängerin Ritzy Bryan klingen auf ihrem tollen und keineswegs falsch „The Big Roar“ betitelten Debütalbum geradewegs so als wären die Smashing Pumpkins heutzutage kein drogengebeutelter Scherz der Musikgeschichte, sondern dank „Siamese Dream“ die größte Rockband des Planeten.

Van Morrison – Beside You

Little jimmy’s gone way out of the back streets
Out of the window, into the falling rain,
And he’s right on time, right on time.
That’s why broken arrow waved his finger
Down the road so dark and narrow
In the evening just before the sunday sixbells chime
And way out on the highway
All the dogs are barkin’ way down below
And you wander away from your hillside retreated view
Went to wanderin’ nordhbridge way out on the railroad
Together all the tipping trucks will unload
All the scrapbooks built together stuck with glue
And I’ll stand beside you, beside you

Oh child, to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never, never wonder why
It’s gotta be, it has to be

Across the crystal pavements
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the
Barefoot virgin child
To wander past your window in the nighttime cross the floor
Crying as ecstasy surrounds you
Through the night air your proud time is open
Go well against the pointed idle breeze

Past the footlights of the brazen silence easy
In the night you cry and you want spirits to tell you
Everything’s alright
Go ahead and do it one more time baby
You’re satisfied I guess, you’re way up and the sky comes down
Kaleidoscope

Open and just hold the lantern in the doorway,
For the freedom of it.
And you take the night air through your nostrils and you breathe
In out, in out
And you breathe just like that, just like that

How does it get you when it gets you
When it gets ya
You may not know it’s got you until you turn around
And I’ll point a finger at you, point a finger at you
You say which way, which way
That’s alright, we’ve gotten hip to it
Goin’ to do it right now.
Behind you
Beside you, beside you

Oh child to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
Never never never never wonder why at all.
