Darwin is an Album by B.M.S. (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso) dated 1972. Even if made of single songs it is in fact a unique song describing the evolution of creation, starting from the birth of planet earth. Lyrics match music so beautifully, I wish there was a way to convey the poetry and delicacy of lyrics.
If your not familiar with them I'd suggest you listen to this tracks when you have some spare time, close your eyes and let music take you back in time, million of years back in time.
Once you got familiar with the sound read the lyrics (below) and then watch a few videos available on YT and fall in love with them .
"L'Evoluzione"
Try, try thinking a little different
nothing was made by great gods
The creation created itself
Fiber cells heat and energy.
Rotates the earth in a cloud
Swollen limbs she tends to the heat.
Oh the mother is ready, she will deliver
Already raises her womb
she wants a child and will get one
Son of the soil and electricity.
Gray layers of lava and coral
humid skies without color:
here the world is breathing
mosses and lichens green sponges of the earth
act as a greenhouse to the shoot that will be.
The sea vomits unformed beings
pushed into heaps on putrid beaches
the land is home to flocks turbid
crawling on their similar they rise
and time will change their flaccid bodies
into forms useful to survive.
A miserable sun fades the green
among young bracken loaded with spores
and free sounds move in a circle
acoustic spirals in the virgin air
Me fool still believing
those who tell me that the flesh is dust.
And if in the fossil skull of an ancestral
I rediscover the forms that look like me
then Adam can no longer exist
and seven days are just a few to create
and now tell me if my genesis
was the other men or Quadrumana.
Adam is dead now and my genesis
is not of men but of Quadrumana.
High, drawing arabesques a cormorant
strides above gorses and the sea
the sun now knows who he must heat.
"750.000 anni fa: l'amore"
Already the water swallows the sun
Your breast dances while you run towards the valley
with your herd to the pools.
Come and quench your dry lips
Clear body with wide hips
I'm in the shadows, I'm here to watch you
To possess you, possess you, possess you
And I hold my breath
if you saw me you'd run away
So I sink my nails into the ground
red clay covers my face
but I want to hold you for a moment
Here on my chest
but I can't, you'd run away from me
I can not possess you, possess you
Even for once.
If you were really mine
I'd dress your breast with water drops
then under your feet
veils of wind and leaves I would lay
Clear body, wide hips
I would take you to the green fields and dance
under the moon, I'd dance with you.
I know the mind wants
but the inert lips can not say a thing
The sky became dark
you're already leaving, stay and drink some more
Really mine, may it be true,
But who am I, an ape
without reasoning, without reasoning, without reasoning
an ape, you'd run away
an ape an ape with no reasoning
you'd run away, you'd run away.
