Intervalo...

Há musicas portuguesas que valem a pena ouvir e que não se ficam atras de outras estrangeiras... são é poucas...

Mas esta é um belo exemplo. A banda chama-se Perfume e tem a colaboração especial de Rui Veloso. Estejam atentos a esta banda. Tem antigos membros dos Ornatos Violeta que comprovaram que talento não falta.

E a letra...

Vida em câmara lenta,
Oito ou oitenta,
Sinto que vou emergir,
Já sei de cor todas as canções de amor,
Para a conquista partir.

Diz que tenho sal,
Não me deixes mal,
Não me deixes…

No livro que eu não li,
No filme que eu não vi,
Na foto onde eu não entrei,
Noticia do jornal
O quadro minimal… Sou eu…

Vida á média rés,
Levanta os pés
Não vás em futebois, apesar…
Do intervalo, que é quando eu falo,
Para não me incomodar.

Diz que tenho sal,
Não me deixes mal,
Não me deixes…

No livro que eu não li,
No filme que eu não vi,
Na foto onde eu não entrei,
Noticia do jornal
O quadro minimal… Sou eu…

Não me deixes já
Historia que não terminou
Não me deixes…

No livro que eu não li,
No filme que eu não vi,
Na foto onde eu não entrei,
Noticia do jornal

O quadro minimal… Sou eu…
No livro que eu não li,
No filme que eu não vi,
Na foto onde eu não entrei,
Noticia do jornal
O quadro minimal… Sou eu…

Sway

Esta musica é de 1997 e só a descobri uns anos mais tarde tipo em 2001 ou assim... Nessa altura devorei a musica como se não houvesse amanhã e depois lá me passou a febre.

Agora, não sei porquê dei por mim a cantarolar a musica vezes sem conta e fui busca-la ao bau das recordações musicais.

No entanto eu não sabia nem o nome da musica, nem o nome da artista... e nunca tinha visto o video. Confesso que fiquei desiludido quando o vi... é que a pessoa que a canta não é nada daquilo que eu tinha imaginado que ela seria. NADA MESMO!!!
Mas isso não invalida que esta seja uma grande musica e que a artista seja merecedora de ser descoberta porque realmente a sua musica faz valer a pena.


E a bela letra:
Don't stray, don't ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better of me
Sometimes, when you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time
Don't let me drown, let me down
I say it's all because of you
And here I go, losing my control
I'm practicing your name so I can say it to your face
It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye
Let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth
Indeed it's time to tell you why
I say it's infinitely true

CHORUS:
Say you'll stay, don't come and go
Like you do
Sway my way, yeah I need to know
All about you

And there's no cure, and no way to be sure
Why everything's turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired - I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now it all turns sour
Come sweeten every afternoon

CHORUS TWICE

It's all because of you
It's all because of you
Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon
It's time to tell you why, I say it's infinitely true

CHORUS TWICE

It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

Try Again

A Rainha, a Deusa do R&B...simplesmente Aaliyah. Rest In Peace...





Aaliyah - Try Again - mytrace
Aaliyah - Try Again - mytrace



[Timbaland]
It’s been a long time, long time
I shouldn’t have left you, left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to
Freaky-freaky
It’s been a long time
I shouldn’t have left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to
Baby girl uh

[Aaliyah]
What would you do?
To get to me
What would you say?
To have your way
Would you give up?
Or try again
If I hesitate
To let you in
Now would you be yourself
Or play your role
Tell all the boys
Or keep it low
If I say no
Would you turn away?
Or play me off
Or would you stay, oh

1 – And if at first you don’t succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don’t succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

[Aaliyah]
I’m in to you
You into me
But I can’t let it go
So easily
Not till I see
Whether this could be
eternity
Or just a week
You know our chemistry
Is off the chain
It’s perfect now
But will it change?
This ain’t a yes
This ain’t a no
Just do your thing
We’ll see how it goes

Chorus
And if at first you don’t succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don’t succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

[Aaliyah]
See you don’t wanna throw it all away
I might be shy on the first date
What about the next date?
Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
I said you don’t wanna throw it all away
I might be buggin’ on the first date
What about the next date?
Huh? Huh? Huh? huh?

Chorus
And if at first you don’t succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don’t succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

[Aaliyah]
And at first you don’t succeed yeeeaaahhh
Dust yourself off and try again
you can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don’t succeed
You can dust it off and try again
dust yourself off and try again, try again (again again)

[Timbaland]
Check it, uh
It’s been a long time,long time
shouldn’t have left you,left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to, step to, step to
Freaky-freaky
It’s been a long time
We shouldn’t have left you
Without a dope beat to step to
Step to, step to, step to
Step to, step to

and if at first you don’t succeed
Then dust yourself off and try again
You can dust it off and try again, try again
Cause if at first you don’t succeed
You can dust it off and try again
Dust yourself off and try again, try again (and again)

Always On Time

Esta musica é do Ja Rule. O lider da Murder INC uma das melhores editoras de Hip Hop.
Ele tem um estilo rude, duro, street, e passar a usar a Ashanti em algumas musicas como forma de amenizar as musicas e as tornarem mais soft foi de génio.
Não só capultou a Ashanti para a fama mas também fez com que Ja Rule se tornasse um artista com ainda mais sucesso porque conseguiu captar outros publicos com esta nova faceta.


(Ashanti) [Ja talking]
Always there when you call [Buckshots, hah], always on time
Gave you my....baby be mine
Always there when you call (call), always on time
Gave you my....baby


(Chorus - Ashanti)
Baby, I'm not always there when you call, but I'm always on time
And I gave you my all, now baby be mine
I'm not always there when you call, but I'm always on time
And I gave you my all, now baby be mine

(Ja Rule)
C'mon and get a piece of this late-night lover
You know, the one that swing dick like no other (shit)
I know, I got a lot of things I need to explain
But baby you know the name and love is about pain
So, stop the complaints and drop the order restraints
Our sex life's a game so bat me down in the paint
'Cause I can't wait no more
'Cause it's about a quarter-past three and shorty's eyein me
I got the Bentley valeted
And I'm just outside of Jersey, past the Palisades
****And I love to see that ass and boobs shake
Hold down on the bed while I'm yankin your braids****
Thug style, you never thought I'd make you smile
While I'm smackin your ass and fuckin you all wild
[With Ashanti] But we share somethin so rare, but who cares, you care, babe

(Chorus)

Girl, get a grip, c'mon, pull it together
It's only a sunshower, we been through worse weather
Like the stormy nights you wrote a "Dear Ja" letter
And took my Benz and keyed and cut the leather
Bitch, you know better, we live M-O-B
Money Over Bitches, Murder, I-N-C
I got two or three hoes for every V
And I keep 'em drugged up off that ecstasy
I'm a playground legend like Kirk with Pee-wee
*Aint more nigga in the league got more game than me
I play hard, there's so many women I fathered
Meet 'em with scars and send 'em home hot and bothered
Truth or dare, this life ain't apparantly fair
And a love with no glare is a crystal stare
But we share [with Ashanti] somethin so rare, but who cares, you care, babe

(Chorus)

Oh I'm, feelin like ya livin a, double life
'Cause you don't be comin home, sometimes
Baby, but you're always, on time, checkin for one time
You and I, got a special bond together
We go back like bombers boo, in the coldest weather
And when I play you play the same way you freak me baby I fuck you crazy
Then I'm gone
Baby don't really want me to get up and leave off that easy
She'll be wakin up wet for sheezy
Remind these bitches to mind they business
Believe me, this pimp game is very religious
And I'm built like the Don Bishop
Gon' keep this money-green Benz and my hoes as my witness
The life we share is a thug affair
[With Ashanti] But who cares, you care, babe

(Chorus)

(Ashanti)

Always there when you call, always on time
Gave you my....baby be mine
Always there when you call, always on time
Gave you my... baby be mine

The Way That I Love You

Aquela que é para mim a verdadeira princesa do R&B está de volta.
Ashanti, a mulher mais bonita do R&B, a unica com categoria para suceder á maravilhosa Aalyiah, volta com este single The Way That I Love You. Não tem o que precisa para se tornar um classico como outras musicas da Ashanti, mas é uma musica agradavel, com uma boa letra...


After all of these times that we've tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I know now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you

I woke up kinda early today
And something told me from that moment
It wouldn't be the same
It felt like you were hiding something
But I didn't push it
I didn't complain or say nothin
I tried to act like I didn't see it
Cause deep down I knew I didn't want to believe it

But there it was, it was you and her
You left your sidekick on the nightstand
And I read

Everything you did, and everything you said and
And now I'm standing here looking like damn..
I thought it was you and I
Now all I got to say is why?

After all of these times that we've tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I know now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you

I notice now, that when I'm around
You be trying to lock the door
Whispering on the phone
Now wait a minute, since we been in this house
You ain't never did this before
Tell me what's this about?
*what's this about?*

I tried to sit and say to myself
This here is too good he don't want nothing else
But there it was, it was you and her
You left your credit card receipt inside the beamer babe

Everything you bought her, and everything you spending
Now I'm standing here once again
I thought it was you and I
Now I all I have to say is why?

After all of the times that we've tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I know now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you

You Lied, You lied, Oh Why?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why'd you have to lie to me?
Why?

After all of the times that we've tried
I found out we were living a lie
And after all of this love that we made
I know now you don't love me the same

The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
The way that I love
The way that I love you
