Si intitola “Automaton” il nuovo singolo del gruppo musicale britannico dei Jamiroquai, come sempre capitanati dal frontman Jason “Jay” Kay, che anticipa l’uscita dell’omonimo nuovo album di inediti, disponibile dal prossimo 31 marzo, a distanza di sette anni dal loro precedente ed ultimo lavoro. Vi proponiamo il video con il testo del brano.
“Automaton è una sorta di riconoscimento di quanto l’intelligenza artificiale e la tecnologia abbiano accresciuto il loro ruolo nel nostro mondo oggi e di come gli uomini stanno iniziando a dimenticare le cose più piacevoli, semplici ed espressive della vita, incluse le nostre relazioni con gli altri esseri umani” ha affermato il leader della band. Il brano, in rotazione radiofonica dal 27 gennaio, è uno dei dodici inediti del prossimo disco dei Jamiroquai, insieme a: “Shake it on”, “Cloud 9”, “Superfresh”, “Hot property”, “Something about you”, “Summer girl”, “Nights out in the jungle”, “Dr Buzz”, “We can do it”, “Vitamin” e “Carla”.

AUTOMATON | testo
every heart is beating
I’m all love
can’t you feel me feeling?
take my hand
cold like a junkie
I’m an ice cold man
(I’m an ice cold man)
why am I crying for you?
All this love I felt for you
has gone away to another place
(it’s a digital life)
I put my faith in a digital world
when they’ve given me
eyes without a face
I’d steal the moon on silver nights
remind myself I am someone
my soul is numb and for tonight
I’m automaton
I’m so tough
can’t you see me running?
see, I can touch
can you feel me coming?
I see the world
in claws of freedom
these metal eyes, they can’t disguise
the fact that I
need something to believe in
but then I drug him for you
I said goodbye to the world I knew
and took off into inner space
(it’s a digital life)
weren’t you the ones who promised me
a very different place?
I’ve powered up, get my program set
and turn my head toward the sun
inside I know, I’m not a void
I’m automaton
Automaton
automaton
automaton
automaton
hey, you got me down underground
gettin’ holed up in my cyber lounge
as if I had time to break that down
(automaton)
whatever you can do I can override it
got a million ways to synthesize it
digital android, I can fight it
fight it out
automaton (it’s a digital life)
automaton (digital life)
automaton (a digital life)
automaton
Feel like a man who said to us
that this is not where I belong
they rule my life from a metal box
that’s windowless
and I wonder where it all goes wrong
maybe this dream will stay alive
but can the madness be undone?
am I the new intelligence?
I’m automaton
I’m automaton
I’m automaton
I’m automaton
I’m automaton
I’m automaton
I’m automaton
It’s a digital life
It’s a digital life
you know I need something I can hold onto, hold onto
(you were all I knew)
(I’m automaton)
I need something
I can hold onto, hold onto
(this was all I knew)
