Song Story:
Questo brano è nato nell'estate del '98 durante il mio periodo di servizio civile, prima ancora che elaborassi il concept-album "Zenith & Nadir". Il mio intento originale era scrivere un pezzo nello stile anni '60 alla "Getting Better", per intenderci, e a tutt'oggi non ho ancora capito se ci sono riuscito o no.
"A Shower Of Blows" è uno dei miei tipici brani un po' pazzoidi: o lo si ama, o lo si odia. Considerando l'impressionante numero di gente che l'ha ascoltata sul web, molti lo amano, a dispetto del finale ripetitivo - ossessionante...
I wrote this song in the Summer of 1998 just before I conceived the idea of "Zenith" as a whole concept album. I just wanted to write a song in a '60s - like style a la "Getting Better" - and I still can't say if I managed or not. This is one of the most typical crazy Bygon songs: you can just love it or hate it. Many people seem to love it, in spite of the weird ending...

Lyrics
Will I ever understand?Will I ever face my life?
will it be as quiet and clear as your eyes?
Maybe sometimes I've been wrong
thinking I was wise and strong
maybe I've pretended to be what I'm not
Sometimes I've been going too far
(going too far)
don't know where this story goes
(story goes)
maybe I deserve just a shower of blows
(it's going to be a shower of blows)
a shower of blows
(it's going to be a shower of blows)
Will I ever be as good
as a good old young man should?
Will I ever see my old ship come in?
sometimes I've been playing the fool
(playing the fool)
Life is just a swimming pool
(swimming pool)
surely I deserve just a shower of blows
I NEED TO LEARN TO BEHAVE MYSELF
I NEED TO CARRY ON
IT SEEMS TO BE MY DESTINY
A COLOSSAL SHOWER OF BLOWS
(A shower of blows, a shower of blows)
sometimes I've been going too far
don't know where my story goes
maybe I deserve just a shower of blows
I NEED TO LEARN TO BEHAVE MYSELF
I NEED TO CARRY ON
IT SEEMS TO BE MY DESTINY
A COLOSSAL SHOWER OF BLOWS
A shower of blows
'cause my little story slowly goes
A shower of blows
'cause I thought I was the man who really knows....
