Real World Hollywood

Com um bocadinho de sorte, e muito talento á mistura, esta menina rebelde conseguiu atraves da participação numa das edições do reality show Real World, dar-se a conhecer ao mundo e lançar o seu proprio cd.

Ouvi esta musica em acustico, antes de ser gravada, antes de o sonho ser mais do que isso, cantada na intimidade de uma sala de estar para um restrito grupo de amigos, e logo aí percebi que estavamos perante uma grande musica.

Mais Deolinda

Deolinda

Este grupo conseguiu a proeza de me pôr a ouvir fado...
Sim meus amigos,fado. Mas não é um fado qualquer... è o fado dançante...
Atenção que esta rapaziada vai longe. Já são disco de ouro e esgotaram a Aula Magna para um inesquecivel e brilhante concerto.

Rui Unas?

E por falar em algo fresco no panorama musical.

O Rui Unas, o eterno "Granda Maluco", resolveu dedicar-se á musica com uma paródia ao Hip-Hop mas com beats e letras que não deixam nada a desejar a musicas de outros artistas "da cena hip-hop" nacional, AKA hip-hop Tuga... Sam the Kid... aprende como se faz...

Ana Free

Finalmente algo fresco na cena musical portuguesa...

Sim meus amigos, ela é Portuguesa.

Danity Kane - Damaged

Estas miudas foram descobertas por P. Diddy num dos seus Making the Band, programa de televisão para a MTV.

Têm tido tanto sucesso la fora que ja as chamam de as novas Destiny's Child...
Vale a pena ouvir... e ver :)

Heartbeats - Nneka

Fixem este nome...
Nneka... já é conotada como a nova Lauren Hill por isso apreciem bem...
O primeiro single é Heartbeat e pertence ao seu primeiro album No Longer At Ease

I kissed a Girl

Desculpem a ausencia mas entre férias e ausencia de musicas que captassem a minha atenção, só me foi possivel voltar á acção agora.
Aqui vai.



This was never the way I planned
Not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand
Lost my discretion
It's not what, I'm used to
Just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you
Caught my attention

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

No, I don't even know your name
It doesn't matter,
You're my experimental game
Just human nature,
It's not what,
Good girls do
Not how they should behave
My head gets so confused
Hard to obey

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it,

Us girls we are so magical
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist so touchable
Too good to deny it
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent

I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chap stick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it

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

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

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

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
