"All tomorrow's parties", THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, 1967 [Reading Heidegger: 'der gegenwärtige planetarisch-interstellare Weltzustand'/'the present planetary-interstellar world-condition'-1959]





what goes on/ in your mind
cosa capita/ nella tua mente 

(il predominio della tecnica e la tecnica del dominio comportano conseguenze?)
(e chi si trascina PER TERRA, fra un party e un altro: può solo piangere, nascosta dietro alla porta?)





You Tube: ALL TOMORROW'S PARTIES, The Velvet Underground  (1967)


And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties

And where will she go and what shall she do 
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties
