You're so damn hot

Esta musica é do camandro pá.
Lembram-se daqueles gajos que fizeram um video com uma coreografia em passadeiras rolantes, daquelas de corrida nas quais se faz ginastica?
Pronto, esses. Os OK Go, fizeram tambem esta musica fantastica.
É fantastica porquê? Porque diz exactamente o que um gajo quer dizer a uma gaja que é boa como o caraças mas que não vai á nossa bola.
Então um gajo quer é dizer-lhe: "Oh sua pita armada aos cágados, eu sei que tu não me gramas, mas não penses que isso me incomoda. Porque tu és uma pêga, uma quebra corações, mas foda-se... Ès mesmo boa"...È traduzido para português a ideia é essa...

E a letra. Decorem-na e ganhem tomates para o dizer a essa besta que não vos liga nenhuma mas que é mesmo boa pá:
I saw you sliding out the bar.
I saw you slipping out the back door, baby.
Don't even try and find a line this time, it's fine. Darling, you're still
divine.

You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.

So now you're headed to your car.
You say it's dinner with your sister, sweetie.
But darling look at how you're dressed. Your best suggests
another kind of guest.

You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.

So who's this other guy you've got?
Which other rubes are riding hot-shot, sugar?
I could have swore you said before, "No more, for sure." What'd I
believe you for?

You don't love me at all, but don't think that it bothers me at all.
You're a bad-hearted boy-trap, babydoll, but you're...
You're so damn hot.

Fix you

Esta é efectivamente uma das minhas musicas preferidas... de todos os tempos.
Demorei a coloca-la aqui porque é dificil falar dela. Não quero dizer algo que vos leve a interpretar a musica de forma diferente daquilo que que ela é: Espectacular.
È á partida o tipo de letra com significado mais facil, mais in your face que pode haver, mas ou mesmo tempo deixa a sensação de "Como é que não me lembrei de escrever sobre isto antes?!?". Porque não. POrque é basico demais para nos lembrarmos disso. Porque é uma musica com a qual não há ninguem que não se identifique com ela pela simples razão que já toda a gente passou por tudo aquilo que la vem falado.
Quem nunca tentou o seu melhor mas não conseguiu o que queria? Todos já passamos por fases em que temos o que queremos mas o não aquilo de que precisamos, certo?E quem nunca esteve muito cansado, mas não conseguia dormir? Quem nunca perdeu algo que não podia ser substituido? Quem nunca amou uma pessoa mas esse amor não deu em nada? E mesmo sabendo disso, quem nunca se deixou ir para ver até que ponto nós podemos ir?
E este video, meus amigos... Tão simples... quando o vi pela primeira vez chorei como um bebé...
Oiçam com e vejam não com os sentidos mas sim com a alma e vão chegar á essencia desta musica.
Fix You dos ColdPlay

E então aqui fica uma das melhores e mais básicas letras alguma vez escritas:
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what your worth"

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

We used to be friends

Lembram-se daquela amiga que tinham, mas por algum motivo que vocês não sabem bem porquê deixaram de falar? Na altura até se interrogavam porque teria sido, depois perceberam que é mesmo por ela ser uma parva... E então agora, ela lembra-se de se lembrar de vocês...
Uma canção que começa com a frase "A long time ago, we used to be friends but I haven't thought of you lately at all", é a resposta ideal para essa parva.
We used to be friends dos Dandy Warhols (que bem conhecem da mitica musica da Vodafone "Bohemian Like you"...Yeah I like you, I like you, I like you, I like you, I like, you...):

E a Letra:

A long time ago, we used to be friends
But I haven't thought of you lately at all
If ever again a greeting I send to you,
Short and sweet to the soul I intend.

A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh

Come on now, honey,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when you're good to go
Come on now, sugar,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when.

It's something I said, or someone I know.
Or you called me up, maybe I wasn't home.
Now everybody needs some time,
And everybody knows
The rest of it's fine
And everybody knows that.

Come on now, sugar,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when you're good to go
Come on now, honey,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when.

We used to be friends.A long time ago
We used to be friends.A long time ago
We used to be friends.A long time ago
We used to be friends, hey hey.

A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh

A long time ago, we used to be friends
But I haven't thought of you lately at all
If ever again, a greeting I send to you,
Short and sweet is all I intend.

We used to be friends.A long time ago
We used to be friends.A long time ago
We used to be friends.A long time ago
We used to be friends,
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh

Swing, Swing

Esta musica também ja tem uns anos mas só mais recentemente a voltei a ouvir repetidamente.
È uma boa musica de raiva, de "toma lá que pensavas que me lixavas mas eu sou mais forte do que tu pensas",de bofetada de luva branca, do tipo "achas mesmo que eu vou chorar por tua causa? Curto-te bués mas tu és uma valente pêga e por isso eu vou arranjar outra nun instantinho".
È uma boa musica para se ouvir quando termina aquela fase nhonhinhas de "ai que estou tão triste que vou morrer" e passamos aquela fase do "vou sair á noite, vou comer umas gajas e vou esfregar isso na cara da outra pêga que me deixou...grande vaca".
Aqui fica, All American Rejects com Swing Swing:

E a letra:

Days swiftly come and go
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall

Did you think that I would cry
On the phone?
Do you know what it feels like
Being alone?
I'll find someone new

Swing, swing, swing
From the tangles of
My heart is crushed By a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?

Dreams cast into the sky
I'm moving on
Sweet beginnings do arise
She knows I was wrong
The notes are old
They bend, they fold
And so do I to a new love

Did you think that I would cry
On the phone?
Do you know what it feels like
Being alone?
I'll find someone new

Swing, swing, swing
From the tangles of
My heart is crushed
By a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?

Bury me
(You thought your problems were gone)
Carry me
(Away, away, away)

Swing, swing, swing
From the tangles of
My heart is crushed
By a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?

Sweet About Me

Não. Não é um portento, ou um hino á musicalidade. Mas é uma boa musica.
Tem uma boa melodia e uma boa letra que embora não seja extremamente robuscada, tem o que é preciso para nos ficar no ouvido.
Por outro lado, a Gabriella Cilmi, a cantora Australiana que dá voz a esta musica, tem o que é preciso para que a musica nos fique nos ouvidos e o video nos fique na retina... o unico contra é que tem APENAS 16 anos!!! Esta australiana ainda vai dar muito que falar, acreditem em mim...

E a respectiva letra:
Ooh, watching me
Hanging by
A string this time
Don't, easily
The climax
Of the perfect lie
Ooh, watching me
Hanging by
A string this time
Don't, easily
Smile worth
A hundred lies

If there's lessons
To be learned
I'd rather get
My jamming words
In first, so
Tell you something
That I've found
That the world's
A better place
When it's
Upside down, boy

If there's lessons
To be learned
I'd rather get
My jamming words
In first, so
When your playing
With desire
Don't come running
To my place
When it burns
Like fire, boy

Chorus (4x):
Sweet about me
Nothing sweet
About me, yeah

Blue, blue, blue
Waves, they crash
As time goes by
So hard to catch
Too, too smooth
Ain't all that
Why don't you ride
On my side
Of the tracks

If there's lessons
To be learned
I'd rather get
My jamming words
In first, so
Tell you something
That I've found
That the world's
A better place
When it's
Upside down, boy

If there's lessons
To be learned
I'd rather get
My jamming words
In first, so
When your playing
With desire
Don't come running
To my place
When it burns
Like fire, boy

(Chorus 7x)

The Story

Ouvi esta musica no anuncio da Super Bock (passo a publicidade), e fiquei apaixonado.
Algum tempo depois consegui descobrir de quem era a musica e la a consegui arranjar.
Chama-se The Story e a cantora é Brandi Carlile

E a letra:
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

Leave out all the rest

Esta é a minha nova canção fetiche.
Chama-se Leave out all the rest e é dos Linkin Park. Para mim esta musica está ao nivel de In the end, a minha musica preferida deles até ao momento... Mas esta está melodicamente mais interessante (nem parece Linkin Park em alguns momentos)e tem uma letra... mas que letra.Aborda o tema da morte. De se soubessemos que iriamos morrer amanhã a quem é que isso interessava? E a essa unica pessoa com quem nos importamos apenas se pede que esqueça tudo o que fizemos de errado e nos guarde para sempre na sua memoria como uma boa pessoa...Muito bom.

E aqui fica a letra, uma das melhores que ja ouvi:
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Summer In Paris

A musica Original é de uma cantora francesa chamada Anggun e chama-se Un Ete a Paris, mas a versão que vos trago é de DJ Cam e passa a ser designada Summer in Paris.
Também musica antiguinha... porque me lembrei dela agora? Meus amigos, não vêem Fashion TV? Pois esta musica está sempre a passar... e eu gosto...

Hoje não ha letra... Fica só uma frase...

"I Miss That Kiss. Summer in Paris"

My Friend

Esta musica já tem uns anos... mas eu gosto dela...
Transmite boa energia sem ser necessáriamente electrizante...
È dos Groove Armada e chama-se "My Friend".


E a Letra:
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend,
I call on you my friend

Listen, Listen, Listen

(Chorus)
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend,
I call on you my friend

Whenever I'm down
And all thats going on
Is really going wrong
Just one of those days again
You say the right things
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong

Whenever I'm down

ain't nobody

Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend,
I call on you my friend

Whenever I'm down
And all thats going on
Is really going wrong
Just one of those days again
You say the right things
To keep me moving on
To be going strong

Repeat Chorus

Iko Iko

Esta musica, já foi tocada por muitos artistas e apareceu em dezenas de filmes. Tem versões em várias linguas e chama-se Iko Iko ou Aiko Aiko.
Não fazem ideia de há quantos anos eu ando atras desta musica... mas seguramente desde que vi o filme Rain Man com Tom Cruise e Dustin Hoffman em inicios dos anos 90...
E finalmente encontrei!!! Fui ao Google e escrevi "Hey now, hey now. Aico aico aiho"... lol... e o incrivel Google perguntou-me muito sabiamente: "Será que não quis dizer Aiko, aiko?", e eu tá bem, pode ser... fui verificar a letra que me apareceu e era mesmo isto.
Depois foi so ouvir várias versões de vários artistas eencontrar a versão que eu queria, que é esta que aqui vou postar e que é tocada por um grupo designado Dixie Cups.

Sim, também tem letra...
My grandma and your grandma
Were sittin' by the fire.
My grandma told your grandma
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

[Chorus:]
Hey now! Hey now!
Iko, Iko, unday
Jockamo feeno ai na nay
Jockamo fee na nay

Look at my king all dressed in red Iko, Iko, unday.
I betcha five dollars he'll kill you dead
Jockamo fee na nay
[Chours]

My flag boy and your flag boy
Were sittin' by the fire.
My flag boy told your flag boy
"I'm gonna set your flag on fire"

[Chorus]

See that guy all dressed in green ?
Iko Iko unday
He's not a man He's a lovin' machine.
Jockamo fee na nay

[Chorus x 2]

[Fade to end]

That's what you get...

...when you let your heart win.
Os Paramore ja têm 3 singles lançados e eu escolhi aquele que mais me agrada, embora confesse que ainda não ouvi nada deles que não me agradasse...

Esta musica é demais. È catchy, com uma letra inteligente, tem ritmo, tem partes que fazem arrepiar os mais sensiveis e tem... talento. Muito talento.

Quando eu tive a minha banda se eu tivesse uma vocalista assim, tinhamos ido longe muito longe...

E a letra:
No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
'Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

That's not my name

Esta musica ja anda a invadir os tops de vários paises e agora a febre está a chegar a Portugal. Chama-se That's not my name e é de um grupo denominado The Ting Tings.

Demorei para começar a gostar desta musica, e acho que será assim com muita gente. Mas concedam-lhe uma oportunidade. Ouçam-na várias vezes e vão ver que ao contrario de outras que quanto mais as ouvimos mais ficamos fartos delas, nesta verão que quanto mais a ouvirem mais vão descobrir e mais vão gostar.


E para quem acha que a musica não faz muito sentido, aqui fica a letra:
Four letter word just to get me along
It's a difficulty and i'm biting on my tongue and I
I keep stalling, keeping me together
People around gotta find something to say now

Holding back, everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothing to consider they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)

They call me 'Hell'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

They call me 'quiet girl'
But i'm a riot
Mary, Jo, Lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

I miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep up, falling, these heels they keep me boring
Getting glammed up and sitting on the fence now

So alone all the time and i
Lock myself away
Listen to me, i'm not
Although i'm dressed up, out and all with
Everything considered they forget my name
(ame, ame, ame)

They call me 'Hell'
They call me 'Stacey'
They call me 'her'
They call me 'Jane'
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

They call me 'quiet girl'
But i'm a riot
Mary, Jo, Lisa
Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name

Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?
Are you calling me darling?
Are you calling me bird?

...continues with chorus overlapping

Drop

Agora num registo completamente diferente.

Eu adoro Hip-hop, embora não seja grande fã desse que tem vindo a ser massificado recentemente. Quanto mais underground melhor e por isso tento sempre descobrir e curtir novos sons antes que se tornem populares e por isso batidos...

Este é um caso de uma musica que é das melhores no que ao Hip hop diz respeito mas nunca se tornou um grande sucesso. E ainda bem...

Foi feita por Timbaland & Magoo, antes do Timbaland ser o fenomeno que hoje é, e tem ainda a colaboração de FatMan Scoop.

Este é o video original:

E aqui está a forma como conheci esta musica.
Faz parte da banda sonora do maior filme de hip-hop até hoje e tem a corografia mais espectacular que ja vi... Esta cena retratada no video em baixo é "Só" o começo do filme. Portano um filme que começa assim, com esta musica, com esta coreografia, com esta energia, merece ser visto e revisto...

Matt Wertz

Esta musica, descobri-a por acaso. Estava eu a vaguear pelo HI5, quando num deles começo a ouvir esta melodia que me ficou logo na mente e na alma...
Tratei de descobrir quem era e de arranjar a musica. E agora estou absolutamente viciado nela.

A musica chama-se 5:19 e quem a canta é Matt Wertz. Sinceramente parece-me que vale a pena descobrir mais além desta musica porque acho que temos aqui puro ouro artistico...

Fiquem com o video...


... e a respetiva letra...

I'd be lying throught my teeth if I told you
That I'm ok

When July came I thought I had it all together
Til' you said I need some space
Truth be told
It's so hard to wait

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19...
I'm feeling alone
And if I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go

We both know that I could think myself dizzy
Right now I'm spinning around
I know you said, "baby, don't worry"
But I miss you right now
I said I, miss you right now

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19...
I'm feeling alone
And if I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go

Baby, take all the time you need
I just want you to know
I'll be here, waiting

With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19...
I'm feeling alone
So if I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go
(x2)

Good Night and Go.

Já agora para que conheçam melhor o grupo de que vos falei no post anterior, aqui fica uma outra musica deles que amo...

Destacam-se as frases de um dos melhores refrões que ja ouvi:
"Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go"

Aqui fica o video:

E a letra:

Say goodnight and go.
Woah woah. Woah woah

Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café
And then i'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time

Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone...

Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me
We'll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You'll sleep here, i'll sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
at my convenience
we'd be good, we'd be great together.

[Sigh]
Go!

Say goodnight and go,
why's it always always
goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go

Hide and Seek

Voltando ao registo mais melancólico, aqui fica a musica das escondidinhas, como eu gosto de lhe chamar. E é... não só pelo nome mas também pela cadência. Tem variações de ritmos tipicas de quem vai atras de alguem que vai atras de alguem que se escondeu... e quando está quase a encontra-la... afinal parece que não. Então muito devagar, devagarinho, com pézinhos de lã a busca recomeça...

È de uma banda que para nós é desconhecida, mas que me chegou aos ouvidos numa das mais dramáticas cenas da melhor serie de todos os tempos - The OC. O grupo chama-se Imogen Heap.

E aqui fica a respectiva letra:

Where are we? What the hell is going on?
The dust has only just begun to fall,
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
Spin me round again and rub my eyes.
This can't be happening.
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines.
All those years they were here first.

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasure moments hung before.
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
still life.

Hide and seek.
Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears,
They were here first.

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah of course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
Mmm what you say?
What did she say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.

You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.
You don't care a bit.

Wrong...

Mudando um pouco de registo, aqui fica uma canção já antiguita, é verdade, mas que tem voltado a passar nas nossas rádios na versão Remixada pelos Deep Dish.

A versão original que aqui vou colocar é dos Everything But The Girl.

"Wherever you go I will follow you... cause I was wrong."



E aqui fica a letra.
I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I
I wanted to know what it was like
I pushed you too far
And you started laying down the law
Til I didn't love you anymore

[Chorus:]
Now you can pull a little bit
And there's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
But finally it's gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong
Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong

So there we both were in that little house
Just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
And you turned to me as you were
Threading daisies on a chain
You said it's decision time again

[Chorus]

And the ground's gonna swallow you
I was wrong
'Cause I was wrong
I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I
I wanted to know what he was like

[Chorus]

Wherever you go I will follow you
'Cause I was wrong

Hallelluja

Não há paçavras para descrever esta musica... Todos na vida deviamos ter um momento em que esta musica se encaixasse na nossa banda sonora. No nosso nascimento, quando deixamos a escola, quando saimos da casa dos pais, quando casamos, quando nasce o nosso filho, quando morre um ente querido... quando estamos no nosso proprio leito de morte...

Esta é a musica... a musica da minha vida. Se eu fosse alguem importante ao ponto de outro alguem importante querer por a minha vida em filme, esta musica devia ser a principal musica da banda sonora...

Já chorei de tristeza profunda, ja senti uma raiva interminavel. Já sorri e senti uma tranquilidade imensa... tudo ao som desta musica.

Numa viagem longa, ou numa curta viagem de regresso a casa depois de uma noite de folia na discoteca...

Para pensar em tudo ou simplesmente não pensar em nada... esta é a musica.

Há várias versões,mas a que aqui vou colocar a aquela que realmente prefiro é a Tocada e cantada pelo grande Jeff Buckley.

E a letra...
Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah...

[Instrumental]

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallellllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujjjaahhhh...Hallelllluuuuuujjaaaaaaaaaahhhh

Howie Day - "Collide"

Esta musica deu-me para voltar a ouvi-la agora que ando numa fase mais melancólica do que o normal...

Esta musica fala sobre a cena dos opostos se atrairem. Eu sinceramente sempre tive as minhas duvidas se isso no amor resulta tão bem como nas leis da fisica. É que muito embora as pessoas dizem "ah nós somos tão diferentes que nos completamos", comigo a unica coisa que fica imediantamente completa num caso desse é a paciencia que se esgota num apice. Para mim, quanto mais em comum melhores são os resultados.

De qualquer forma a musica é uma boa musica, o artista é um bom artista...

Aqui fica Howie Day - "Collide"

E a respectiva letra:

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

De volta á Musica...

Esta musica de Damien Rice intitulada "The Blowers Daughter" è simplesmente genial.
Ouvi-la é sempre um soco no estomago vindo sabe-se la de onde e dado sabe-se lá por quem. Algo que nos deixa estendidos no meio do chão a perguntar o que raio aconteceu...
È do mais romantico que pode existir sem que seja algo lamechas.
È a velha história do não digas que não te avisei que te ias quilhar mas agora que estás quilhado tira o melhor proveito disso...
É... é melhor verem o video e ouvirem a musica e tirarem as vossas proprias conclusões.


Já agora aqui fica a letra também...
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
