Justin Timberlake: Take Back the Night, testo e video ufficiale

Due album nel giro di un anno. Certe cose accadono soltanto quando si sta parlando di grandi artisti che hanno una grandissima ispirazione, di artisti che sono capaci, dirompenti e vulcanici. Justin Timberlake è il perfetto esempio di artista arrivato, riuscito, praticamente perfetto.

Sa ballare, cantare e anche recitare. E’ nato nel club Disney, è passato per una boy band ed è arrivato alla carriera solista e al cinema entrando dalla porta principale. Il suo aspetto fisico ha ovviamente aiutato, ma questo non è il momento di parlarne, perché il talento prescinde queste cose e Justin Timberlake ne ha tanto.

Dopo Suit & Tie, la struggente Mirror e Tunnel Vision – pezzi contenuti nell’album The 20/20 Experience. In autunno, invece, arriverà la seconda parte di questo album: The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2, seconda parte del lungo album che ha debuttato – con un risultato eccellente – il 14 gennaio.

Il singolo che fa da apripista a The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2 è Take Back the Night, canzone allegra che dal 26 agosto sta entrando a gamba tesa nelle classifiche e nelle radio italiane. Il video è ovviamente bellissimo e chiaramente Justin Timberlake ci mostra le sue eccellenti doti da ballerino.

Take Back the Night, testo

Yeah, uh, feels good, don’t it?

Listen, uh

[Verse 1]

Yeah, this was your city

You did it all and more, broke every law except for one, babe

Attraction, are you ready

I know you feel it

Pull you nearer ’til you feel it again, oh

[Bridge]

I wanna do something right

But we can do something better

Ain’t no time like tonight

And we ain’t trying to save it ’til later

Stay out here living the life

Nobody cares who we are tomorrow

You got that lil’ something I like

A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow

Tonight the night’s, come on surrender

I won’t lead your love astray, astray, yeah

Your love’s a weapon

Give your body some direction

That’s my aim

Then, we could

[Chorus]

Take back the night

Come on, use me up until there’s nothing left

Take back the night

Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can’t catch your breath

Take back the night

Ooh, don’t know when the sun is rising next

Take back the night

So if the feeling’s right, raise your glass and let’s

[Post-Chorus]

Take back the night, take back the night

They gon’ try to shut us down, I’ll be damned if we gon’ let them

Take back the night, take back the night

You know you gon’ mess around and find out there ain’t no one better

Take back the night, oh

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Rare, there’s not too many

No one but you and crowded rooms, we can do anything (yeah)

Attraction can drive you crazy

The way you move, you go crazy, that’s incentive for me

[Bridge]

I wanna do something right

But we can do something better

Ain’t no time like tonight

And we ain’t trying to save it ’til later

Stay out here living the life

Nobody cares who we are tomorrow

You got that lil’ something I like

A little something I’ve been wanting to borrow

Tonight the night’s, come on surrender

I won’t lead your love astray, astray, yeah

Your love’s a weapon

Give your body some direction

That’s my aim

Then, we could

[Chorus]

Take back the night

Come on, use me up until there’s nothing left

Take back the night

Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can’t catch your breath

Take back the night

Ooh, don’t know when the sun is rising next

Take back the night

So if the feeling’s right, raise your glass and let’s

[Post-Chorus]

Take back the night, take back the night

They gon’ try to shut us down, I’ll be damned if we gon’ let them

Take back the night, take back the night

You know you gon’ mess around and find out there ain’t no one better

[Middle 8]

And the horns say, alright

And the horns say, alright

Uh, ooh, and the horns say, alright

And the horns say

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Take it over

Yeah, yeah

Timbaland:

Y’all ready to have a good time out there, ladies and gentlemen?

Take back the night, take back the night…

[Chorus]

Take back the night

Come on, use me up until there’s nothing left

Take back the night

Dizzy, spinning, sweating, you can’t catch your breath

Take back the night

Ooh, don’t know when the sun is rising next

Take back the night

So if the feeling’s right, raise your glass and let’s

Take back the night
