Uno degli highlights di Spirit, complice la presenza in scaletta nel Global Spirit Tour. Musicalmente potrebbe ricordare Delta Machine, ma anche, come detto da altri, un certo trip hop anni '90. Il testo e' duro, spietato, e per questo colpisce dritto al cuore. Gli "ohhh" di Dave e Martin trasudano "pain and suffering". Bellissima!
quotoKomete ha scritto:A me sembra (è una mia opinione, la esprimo come tale) che la "pochezza delle liriche" sia una specie di mantra sbandierato, per partito preso, riguardo a tutti i pezzi scritti da Dave, ma che poi non si presti reale attenzione al testo, nel contesto del pezzo, né ai suoi possibili significati/riferimenti.

Avrete senz'altro già letto questa intervista di Rolling Stone a Dave ma riporto qui la parte relativa a Poison Heart perché aiuta a comprendere il brano.
"[...] the ballad "Poison Heart," a particularly catchy and euphonious number Gahan concocted with the group's drummer, Christian Eigner, and keyboardist, Peter Gordeno. "They sent me this guitar line, and it had a bit of a Muscle Shoals vibe," Gahan says. "It was a very different feel and I got this melody in my head." It opens with a slow, funeral march in the vein of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You" and builds to an almost Beatles-like bridge with only a smidgen of noisy guitar. Gore, whom Gahan says is "not a man of many words when it comes to others' songs," called "Poison Heart" the best song Gahan had ever written.
"You have poison in your heart," he croons outright at the beginning of the song. And later, he sings, "You know it's time to break up/You'll always be alone," but Gahan says it's not intended to be a breakup song.
"I was watching the news on TV and I was writing through my own inability to really relate to another human being," he says. "There must be something wrong with me, poison in my heart or whatever. So it was fun to play with that imagery, and it became more worldly – greed and lust and wanting what you want when you want it and nothing else matters. So I was breaking up with myself – trying to evolve, trying to break up with old ideas that I think are working for me but are not in actuality. Fortunately, that's not my relationship with my wife."
He laughs, picking at his pasta, and says that "Poison Heart" complements another song on the album, which wasn't played for Rolling Stone, called "Worst Crime." "The lyrics to 'Poison Heart' are more of an internal dialogue, but 'Worst Crime' is looking outward," he says. "It's bringing about the change. You've got to do something different or act differently. We can all talk about whatever is going on until we're blue in the face but you have to take real action, and sometimes we don't know what that looks like. Individually, I believe people are inherently good, but we're really distorted by the information we get and we act out on that information out of fear."
