Buondì a tutti Hearts,
il giovedì del Regno dei Libri sarà bello pieno di novità librose, quindi rimanete nei d'intorni mi raccomando! La giornata inizia con il caffè del mattino ed una nuova recente pubblicazione che ha subito attratto la mia indole da booklover. Sto parlando di "L'odore delle case degli altri" di Bonnie-Sue Hitchock, in libreria dallo scorso 16 Aprile per Rizzoli e la cui cover io trovo assolutamente perfetta oltre che magnetica, non lo pensate anche voi?

Genere: Narrativa
Trama: Alaska, anni Settanta. In una terra magnifica e ricca di risorse, ma difficile e spaccata da profondi contrasti sociali, le vite di quattro ragazzi stanno per incrociarsi. Ruth porta dentro di sé un segreto che non potrà nascondere per sempre; per lei l’amore è un ricordo lontanissimo ma non per questo meno vivo, e vorrebbe contare per qualcuno.Dora invece, per cui la famiglia è un fardello doloroso, vorrebbe solo essere invisibile, per poi scoprire che un dolce preparato con amore da una madre può essere il più prezioso dei regali. Alyce più di ogni altra cosa ama danzare, ma non ce la fa a deludere suo padre per inseguire i propri sogni, dividendosi tra la ballerina leggiadra che danza sulle punte e la ragazza lucida e fredda che pesca e sventra salmoni. Hank è ancora giovane ma deve prendersi cura dei suoi fratelli; con loro fugge di casa in cerca di un futuro migliore, e proprio quando tutto gli sembra perduto e inutile, torna a lottare grazie alle lacrime di una ragazza sconosciuta.
Il mio compito oggi è quello di accendere la radio e proporvi una playlist abbinata al romanzo, siete pronti quindi ad iniziare la giornata in musica? Iniziamo subito con le tracce che ho scelto di abbinare a L'odore delle case degli altri:
ELECTRICITY - ELISA
Your daughter… she's a dancer
Living in Buenos Aires
Sleeping on a mattress on the floor
Yes, sleeping on a mattress on the floor
Did you ever ask her how she feels?
Did you ever ask her if she feels?
Electricity through her body
That one thing that can make one happy
Like electricity through a body
Your father… he's a rich man
And he's got many questions
He always wakes up with you in his head
He always wakes up with you in his head
And did you ever ask him how he feels?
And did you ever ask him if he feels?
That electricity through his body
That one thing that can make one happy
Like electricity through a body
It's that one thing that can make one happy, yeah
Your daughter is a woman living with her lover
And she's trying to do the best that she can
Yeah she's trying to do the best that she can
And did you ever ask her how she feels?
And did you ever ask her if she feels?
Electricity through her body
That one thing that can make one happy
Like electricity through a body
That one thing that can make you happy
And you don't need to have more, oh no, oh no
Oh no, you don't need to have more
You don't need to ask for more
You don't need to have more
You don't need to have more
You don't need to ask for more
You don't need to have more
SUPERMAN - FIVE FOR FIGHTING
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane
I'm more than some pretty face beside a train
And it's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd, but don't be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won't you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Up, up and away, away from me
Well, it's all right, you can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy
Or anything
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Inside me
Inside of me
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
I'm only a man
Looking for a dream
I'm only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it's not easy
It's not easy to be
Me
HOW TO SAVE A LIFE - THE FRAY
Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left, and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
SAVE ME - MUSE
Save me from my superstitions
Now I'm free from this soul's condition
Wait just a while
And I'll greet you with a smile
Hold me 'cause I'm sure I'm hated
Promises they are overrated
Wait just a while
While I'm drowning in denial
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue
Watch me 'cause I'm on a mission
Hold me back so I'm forced to listen
Don't let me go 'cause I'm nothing without you
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need you rescue
Turn me into someone like you
Find a place that we can go to
Run away and take me with you
Don't let go I need your rescue
SWEET DREAMS - EURYTHMICS
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas,
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

Eccole le mie tracce. Soprattutto la prima è stata come se "partisse" nella mia testa appena iniziato a leggere la trama di questo romanzo. Electricity di Elisa è un po' stato il main theme durante la lettura ma anche le altre canzoni mi sono subito venute alla mente mentre leggevo. Io adoro ciascuna di loro, non sono recentissime (ma neanche io lo sono xD) ed ad ognuna di loro però ho dato un pezzo del mio cuore. Penso che tutte siano perfette per descrivere L'odore della casa degli altri al quale per me saranno sempre legate d'ora in poi.
Ma ditemi, conoscete queste canzoni? le amate come me? Pensate di leggere L'odore delle case degli altri? Vi ispira? State seguendo il nostro Blog Tour? Mi raccomando di non perdere neanche una tappa!
Io vi aspetto nei commenti per una bella chiacchierata librosa come piace a noi e vi do appuntamento a più tardi sempre qui nel Regno 💓
L'abbraccio più grande del mondo,
Ely
