Diana et Rubi

"My wicked heart". A perfect future love song by Marina & The Diamond archie enemy Diana Vickers. I know it's such a wreck being indie and even mentioning that artis, but you have to admit that the production behind this song, video and artist is really cutting edge and ahead of the times (especially for the tempo changes and the whole cut-up synths and drums stuff). And what the hell... Diana is really cool! What the hell if she even unconsciously mocked Red Hot Chilly Peppers! I didn't even notice that before reading the comments on her Youtube channe.

Though this was a really good point to try to make a cover of the song, that's why I decided to have myself a try and record a "My Wicked Heart" cover trying to use only a drum, bass, no more than two guitars and some random synths solo. I used this set up to record another song written during the weekend, trying to blend politic, gossip and the "impossible love songs" theme that seemed to be the theme of our next collection of songs (politic and love together in a love song? I live in Italy, leave it to me!),

The song that came out is called "Rubi Et Orbi", trying to imagine which kind of love song Roy Orbison cwould have written to Anthony Kiedis if involved in the Berlusconi affair instead of Emilio.

Hope they won't put me in the same hospital of Wayne Coyne and Walter Bishop. Enjoy.

Rubi Et Orbi by tinytide

here's the lyrics:

"Hey good evening look at me
got a problem can't you see
it was half a week ago
when they kicked me far from home

Is it legal? I don't know
guess I lost her fake passport
she took everything I had
threw my heart and kept the rest


Won't you pardon me lady
I couldn't help but see
you've been pooled the wool over
on beady eyes asleep
It's so hard to be weaky
tryin' getting through the week
when it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Rubi and Orbi
a little world gone waste
Rubi and Orbi
how to communicate
I don't believe your easy cheats
You're acting good but they're so cheap
O-oooh
Rubi and Orbi
As filth as they can be


Can I tell you what to do?
Share my stupid point of view?
Better take care of your youth
I could break your legs, it's true

So shut up and have some sex
You can call him after that
In the morning he'll be gone
So tonight is all we've got

Won't you pardon me baby
I couldn't help but cry
You've been talking for hours
and never cracked a smile
It's so hard to be pretty
when we don't have the time
to wait Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday


Rubi and Orbi
a little world gone waste
Rubi and Orbi
how to communicate
I don't believe your easy cheats
You're acting good but they're so cheap
O-oooh
Rubi and Orbi
As filth as they can be


May our holy prayers fix
all their troubles and misfits
it's a never-virgin beat
blessing blessing unconfessed sins

Won't you pardon me baby
I couldn't help but cry
You've been talking for hours
and never cracked a smile
It's so hard to be pretty
when we don't have the time
to wait Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

Rubi and Orbi
a little world gone waste
Rubi and Orbi
how to communicate
I don't believe your easy cheats
You're acting good but they're so cheap
O-oooh
Rubi and Orbi
As filth as they can be
I know She's walking back to me
I'm sure she's walking back to me
just turn around and see
she's walking back to me"
