Angelo Branduardi - Il primo della classe (1988)
I never was the first in the class (never been the hard working type) but people have a tendency to never forget me in my unusuality. Yes C., I am me and I barely can believe I stumbled upon you after 40+ years and you still remember me? And now how do I flee from this awkward situation?
Lyrics/Translation:
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
Il più intelligente della tua classe
Non sai gridare forte come gli altri
La tua canzone la canti piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
In mezzo agli altri tu sembri strano
Un po′ più alto, un po’ più impacciato
Non sai giocare come fanno gli altri
La tua canzone la canti piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
Così diverso non sanno amarti
Tu sei qualcuno che vola alto
La tua canzone la canto piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Piano, piano
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
Il più intelligente della tua classe
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
La tua canzone la canto piano
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
La tua canzone la canti piano
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
La tua canzone la canto piano
Bambino solo che stai in disparte
La tua canzone la canti piano
Bambino solo che stai in disparte…
Lonely child standing apart
The smartest in your class
You can’t shout loudly like the others
You sing your song softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Amidst the others, you seem strange
A little taller, a little more awkward
You don’t know how to play like the others
You sing your song softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Lonely child standing apart
So different, they don’t know how to love you
You are someone who flies high
I sing your song softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Softly, softly
Lonely child standing apart
The smartest in your class
Lonely child standing apart
I sing your song softly
Lonely child standing apart
You sing your song softly
Lone child, you stand apart
I sing your song softly
Lone child, you stand apart
You sing your song softly
Lone child, you stand apart…

You won’t believe it, but Ishtanchuk had in her memory that Mezdeke 1 album. A friend of my father brought it as a souvenir from a tour in Turkey, borrowed it to my father and it was played quite some times as my father recorded some of the titles. Then we lost the recording in a tape player accident, but the music remained down there in memory… Aiwea Eez Ean, Bom Bom, Yaa Amar, those three were instant recognition. But I think the cover art was different.
Also: not as cool as finding back music last heard 25 years ago, but this is what I was going to answer on behalf of Ish…

Imagine if Metallica had never tried to sell-out throughout the 1990s.
They were always heavily influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWoBHM), so it’s not impossible that their output could have sounded something like this.
(It’s also awesome how Tony “Demolition” Dolan just keeps on getting better as a vocalist every time I hear him, too.)

Air - Kelly watch the stars (1998)
The part where she is unsconscious has earwormed me for a while but eventaualy could remember which song it was and here you go…
Trivia: the song is dedicated to the character from Charlie’s Angels, Kelly Garrett, who was played by actress Jaclyn Smith. And the players on the video are called “Kelly” and “Smith”.
