Storia Di Musica #356 - Lou Reed, Berlin, 1973

L'ultimo libro del 2024 è stato lo strepitoso Kairos di Jenny Erpebeck, ambientato nella Berlino Est a fine anni '80, tra gli ultimi anni della DDR e la transizione verso la riunificazione. Quel libro mi ha ispirato per la prima serie di dischi della Rubrica del 2025, che sarà dedicata a dischi che hanno a che fare con Berlino. Due tra i più famosi, Heroes di Bowie, fulcro della cosiddetta Trilogia Berlinese (insieme a Low e Lodger, in verità in primo solo in parte registrato lì, il terzo pensato a Berlino ma finito fuori dalla Germania) e Achtung Baby! degli U2 sono stati già protagonisti delle storie di musica. Ma fortunatamente la città tedesca è stata fonte ispirativa per altri grandiosi capolavori musicali.

Il disco di oggi parte da un assunto: dopo che ci aveva quasi rinunciato, e proprio grazie a Bowie era diventato di nuovo leggenda, Lou Reed è ormai un artista di successo oltre la leggenda che lo accompagnava dai tempi dei Velvet Underground. Dopo Trasformer, ha una necessità particolare di fare un disco particolare, personale, ardito. Lo spunto glielo dà il giovane produttore, che diventerà uno dei più grandi di sempre, Bob Ezrin, chiamato dalla RCA a districare le idee di Reed. Ezrin chiede a Reed: tu scrivi grandi canzoni, che però non hanno mai una fine. Che fine hanno fatto per esempio i protagonisti di Berlin (canzone del primo disco solista, Lou Reed, 1972?). Reed fa sua questa osservazione e costruisce un concept album che racconta la storia dei due protagonisti di quella canzone, Jim e Caroline, coppia di americani che vive a Berlino. Una coppia che vive una vita drammatica, oscura, terribile tra droghe, abusi, maltrattamenti, figli non accuditi. Un viaggio nelle tenebre, nella disperazione, nel caos psicologico (con molti accenni autobiografici) di uno dei maestri narratori di questi viaggi, ricordo a tutti che Reed si laureò cum laude alla Syracuse University in Letteratura Americana.

Musicalmente, Reed in Berlin, che esce nel 1973, registrato tra Londra e New York, ripesca nel suo archivio di bozze, scritte anche per i Velvet Underground, e costruisce con Erzin canzoni dai grandi arrangiamenti, con archi, fiati, accompagnato da un gruppo di musicisti eccezionale: l'ex Cream Jack Bruce, Tony Levin mago del basso, Ainsley Dunbar che fu nel gruppo di Frank Zappa, Steve Hunter e Dick Wagner chitarristi di Alice Cooper, e i fratelli Brecker ai fiati. Berlin, che apre il disco, ha perfino un Happy Birthday, sciorina poi nel suo pianoforte quella sensazione di tristezza e angoscia che, volutamente, permea la storia di Jim e Caroline. Lady Day, un omaggio a Billie Holiday, morta prematuramente per abuso di droghe e alcol, è metafora di ciò che caroline va alla ricerca. Men Of Good Fortune (Men of good fortune often wish that they could die. While men of poor beginnings want what they have and to get it they'll die) è l'amara constatazione della loro condizione materiale. How Do You Think If Feels è il brano più autobiografico di tutto l'album: c'è la drammatica paura di Reed di dormire, dovuta alle serie di elettroshock a cui i suoi genitori lo obbligarono a sottoporsi da adolescente, per curarlo da una latente omosessualità. Oh Jim, è la versione di "autoanalisi" che Jim fa a sè stesso, cosa che Reed fa fare a Caroline in due brani, Caroline Says e Caroline Says II, che partono da una canzone pensata per i Velvet, Stephanie Says: soprattutto la seconda è un pugno nello stomaco per ciò che racconta Caroline: Caroline says\as she gets up off the floor\Why is it that you beat me\it isn't any fun (...) But she's not afraid to die\all her friends call her "Alaska"\When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her (...) as she gets up from the floor\You can hit me all you want to\but I don't love you anymore. Da un lato l'umiliazione sociale (La Gelide Alaska, così la chiamiavano gli amici), dall'altro l'abuso fisico. The Kids, così straziante per il pianto dei bambini, ci descrive la squallida situazione familiare in cui vive la coppia, con i bambini che vengono portati via alla coppia. Il finale è potentissimo: The Bed parte dal suicidio di Caroline, Jim prova una struggente nostalgia per lei e la "racconta" elencando tutti i suoi oggetti rimasti: la cronaca ci dice che in quelle stesse settimane la prima moglie di Reed, Bettye Kronstad, tentò un suicidio tagliandosi le vene. Il disco si chiude con Sad Song, che è tra il dolore e l'assoluzione (I'm gonna stop wasting time, somebody else would have broken both of her arms).

Il disco all'epoca fu osteggiato dalla RCA, che si convinse a produrlo solo perchè Reed firmò un contratto per altri due dischi (che furono un live, il fantasmagorico Rock'N'Roll Animal del 1973, e il glam rock sbiadito di Sally Can't Dance nel 1974), e snobbato da pubblico e critica, che lo bollò come un disastro. Con il tempo, le continue trasformazioni di Reed e nella generale riscoperta della sua musica (che ha una data precisa, cioè quando gli U2 lo chiamano a cantare Satellite Of Love durante gli show dello Zoo Tv Tour) il disco viene riconsiderato uno dei suoi grandi capolavori, nonostante la sua dolorosa e tragica natura. Che tra l'altro fece una vittima illustre: Bob Ezrin ebbe un esaurimento nervoso dopo le registrazioni, probabilmente per aver osservato troppo tempo quella oscurità, ma avrà comunque una carriera stellare, a fine decennio produrrà un altro concept leggendario, The Wall dei Pink Floyd. E un verso di The Kids, Oh, I am the water boy, the real game's not over yet\Oh, but my heart is overflowin' each and everyday, arriva fino ad un ragazzo irlandese, Mike Scott, che chiamerà la sua band The Waterboys.

One house, seven generations apart…

Reed hangs up on her mother, Esme, as she stops outside of the white wooden-clad and brick house. She waits impatiently for some photos to be sent through. She needs to know if the property listing is true. Did this house once belong to the founders of her family, Fabian and Ainsley Quick?

Minutes feel like hours as Reed finally receives a photo from her mother. She bites down on her bottom lip, eyes scanning the image before trying to place the shrubbery in the same place in the photo. It’s a match. This is the house that her ancestor, Fabian Quick, purchased as his first family home with his spouse, Ainsley. 

Reed: “Is this what fate feels like?”

Her feet crunch in the sparkling snow as she wanders around the side of the house, looking at the back of the property. She hasn’t called the estate agent to arrange a viewing, but she does want to look around.

Is that CRYSTAL REED? No, that’s just AINSLEY BLAKELY. They were born on 06/07/1778 and are a HUNTRESS living in Northknot Town. They work as a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. Some say they're DETERMINED and ADAPTABLE, but I’ve heard others say they're MANIPULATIVE and CLOSED-OFF. When you think of her don’t you think of BLACK NOTEBOOKS, HIDDEN KNIVES IN BOOTS & ROLLING EYES INTO OBLIVION?

Hey Ainsley Blakely! You’re a huntress, right? Is it just me or do you look like Crystal Reed? Maybe it’s just me... Anyway, you’ll fit right in here as long as you don’t disturb the peace! Just  Make sure to settle in within the next 24 hours and don’t forget to read the welcome pack so you don’t forget anything!

[wheatley-imagine-scenarios]

Hey I’m making a pinned post! Everything important about me is in my bio so this is just the basic information on my core headcanons (full names, pronouns, etc.) This includes characters from the main games, mods, and Meet The Cores, so if you don’t know who someone is, trying searching google for the bolded name plus one of those keywords. I was going to wait to post something like this until I make more references sheets, but I thought the designs themselves would be a reveal enough and I could share their names and stuff now. Things may get changed/added in the future, partially because I’m not sure how I feel about some of these names *glares at Turret Core* but anyway- If you’re new here, jut know getting into it that yes, all the cores are trans, and no, I will not be taking criticism
