1) "The Old Dark Brown" - (the) Go Set
I heard yesterday you were moving up north,
I hope you find what it is you're looking for
When the payouts were gone, and the work finished up
its just a town full of ghosts, and they're all down on their luck
And I know that when I see you again,
I know, I'll drink with you my friend
And we'll have one more round in Melbourne town
another pint of the old dark brown
And we'll have one more round in Melbourne town
another pint and we will all fall, all fall, down
Well the irony of 'happy' hour, in one of two hotels
when we looked into a glass and agreed that life was hell
When the richest man in a town, is the fucking football star
and the man who gets the girls always drives the fastest car
And I know that when I see you again,
I know, I'll drink with you my friend
And we'll have one more round in Melbourne town
another pint of the old dark brown
And we'll have one more round in Melbourne town
another pint and we will all fall, all fall, down.

2) "Snowball" - Hoagy Carmichael
Ho scelto di menzionare questa canzone per i continui riferimenti ai colori evocandone la loro espressività: con la traduzione annessa si nota come ogni verso rimandi a sensazioni definite dalla scelta del colore più espressivo per ogni immagine.
Palla di neve, il mio miele, non si scioglie
'Cause daddy likes those dark brown eyes
Perche 'papà ama quegli occhi marrone scuro
Snowball, my honey, smile at me each day
Palla di neve, il mio miele, sorriso a me ogni giorno
'Cause daddy likes those dark brown eyes
Perche 'papà ama quegli occhi marrone scuro
You're my only sweetheart, little chocolate bar
Sei il mio unico tesoro, bar po 'di cioccolato
I'll eat you up some day
Ti mangio qualche giorno
Your two hands and feet are just as black as tar
Le due mani e piedi sono solo neri come il catrame
But don't you cry, why, say
Ma non piangere, perché, dicono
The good Lord said, use an apple dumplin'
Il buon Dio ha detto, usare un gnocco mela
To make your head, you know it's really somethin'
Per rendere la vostra testa, sai che è davvero qualcosa
Snowball, my honey, don't you melt away
Palla di neve, il mio miele, non si scioglie
'Cause daddy likes those dark brown eyes
Perche 'papà ama quegli occhi marrone scuro
3) "Dark Brown" - Ladi6
Baby come with me we can go to heaven
We can on the weekends, sneakin' I'll do anything
Small but tense feelings realing
All the while heartbeating
Sinking feeling peaking
I'll do anything
But didn't you know
Didn't you know
Didn't you, didn't you know
I've been thinking about you
Didn't you know
Didn't you know
Didn't you, didn't you know
I've been thinking about you
We can slowly unfold free
Early morning don't call me
Do what we wanna see
We on our own, us only
Remince on old days
Keep an eye on new ways
The foundation that we lay down
Will help us get around
But didn't you know
Didn't you know
Didn't you, didn't you know
I've been thinking about you
Who do you know that lies with a smile on their face?
Caught in a landslide and no ones saying take their place
Not me, I'm too busy thinking about you
Not me, I'm too busy thinking about you
Didn't you know, why, why didn't I tell you why?
Why, why didn't I say?
Hear a door slam in the wind and the mat by the door says welcome
I, thinking about you, you, you
(I think about you, yeah, ohh yeah, oohh my)
But didn't you know
Didn't you know
Didn't you, didn't you know (I know you didn't know)
I've been thinking about you (I know you didn't know)
Didn't you know (I know you didn't know)
Didn't you know (I know you didn't know)
Didn't you, didn't you know (I know you didn't know)
I've been thinking about you (I know you didn't know)
I think about you, yeah, you, yeahh, been on my mind
