MORNINGS BLACK AS COAL
Brett Anderson
Contra | 2018
There are few songs that make me move. I'm going to confess one: Saturday night, Suede. I met them the first time I played at the FIB in Benicàssim, there for him 2002. It wasn't the first time I saw them live., but that moment ended up turning them into the soundtrack of my best moments of youth. One relives those moments more intensely with age and with changes such as parenthood., where everything turns upside down. For Brett it has been no different.: Having a son and watching him grow has made him remember his first years of childhood and youth, that whole stage prior to popularity. And it is that This book is intended for one reader only.: Lucian, his five year old son, hoping that it will serve as a guide to get to know your father better. The rest of the readers are welcome..
With his 51 years old, Brett remembers his misunderstood missing parents and sister, the four of them living in a modest council house in a dormitory town between London and Brighton. Also his later years of youth living in shared apartments throughout the country., surrounded by smoke and cups of tea but always with music as a companion. His relationship with Justine Frischmann sharing the first moments of the band, before leaving it and forming Elastica. And after the breakup, their total connection with Bernard Butler in a Suede that was beginning to sound like they wanted. The rest are calls to record companies, sending demos and trying to play in venues; all quite fruitless. And it is that, when they finally start to taste success, Brett puts an end to the book. Or maybe it's just a point and an aside: closes its pages in 1992 with the signing of his first record contract and with a lot to tell still, although for now, your mission of reconnecting with the past is accomplished.
