Please come home for Christmas

Nada mais apropriado para a época Natalícia, do que esta bela recordação do início dos anos 90, altura em que o Jon Bon Jovi era um sex simbol e a Cindy Crawford era a mulher mais bela do mundo! A dupla perfeita!

Come On

Mais uma dos Blackcowboy, banda californiana que muito aprecio. Mais um avanço do álbum "The only time is now". Aqui fica o vídeo! Excelente!

Beautiful

Beauty over wisdom to fit in with this time
Your Cinderella stories, full of price
Vanities of business built to please the unique
Silicon and stars collide; the rest will fall at night

Just as beautiful as you are
Its so pitiful what you are
You should have seen this coming all along

Visioning are stimulating to my eyes
Your Cinderella syndrome, full of lies
Your insecurities are concealed by your pride
Pretty soon your eager will kill what's left inside

(Beautiful)It's so pitiful what you are (Pitiful)
As beautiful as you are(Should have seen)
You should have seen this coming all along

You're everything that's so typical
Maybe you're alone, for reason
You're the reason
So pitiful what you are
Should have seen this coming all along
(Beautiful)Just as beautiful as you are
(Pitiful)So pitiful what you are
(Should have seen)Should have seen this coming all along

(Beautiful)Its so pitiful what you are(Pitiful)
As beautiful as you are(Should have seen)
Should have seen this coming all along

10 Years, “Division”, 2008

Grande banda, com um novo álbum acabadinho de sair, a não perder!

Sex On Fire

Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching

All the commotion
?
Has people talking
Talking

You
Your sex is on fire

Dark of the alley
The breaking of day
Head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Them nuckles is pale
Feels like you're dying
Your dying

You
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it

But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire

And so
Were the words to transpire

And you
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire

Kings Of Leon , “Only by the night”, 2008

Gosto do feeling desta música... Estes rapazes de Nashville são muito cool...

Morfina

Como é bela a deusa do meu céu
Actriz de ralé
No meu mausoléu de ninfas da maré
Faz dança do véu
Com um sururu de se tirar o chapéu
A feliz garça com o seu girar
Transmuta por dom o meu lupanar
em casa de bom-tom
Angélico altar
Onde o varonil tem gosto em capitular

Bem vindos ao meu bazar
Propõe chás do Sião, pepitas do Brasil,
jóias da Pérsia
Morfina
Não perdes nada em entrar
Vem ver a actuação, o exótico pernil, a doce inércia

A morfina
É tão quente a raça do seu ser
Seu jeito fatal
De dar a entrever o gozo sensual
O mole prazer
Que a carne retém depois de esmorecer
E sem mais me deixa a suspirar
Na maior nudez
Que venha a rodar até ser minha vez
Os braços no ar
Que me faça vir na graça do seu picar

Bem vindos ao meu bazar
Propõe chás do Sião, pepitas do Brasil,
jóias da Pérsia

Morfina
Não perdes nada em entrar
Vem ver a actuação, o exótico pernil, a doce inércia

A morfina
Bem vindos ao meu bazar
Propõe chás do Sião, pepitas do Brasil,
jóias da Pérsia

A morfina,
a morfina
Propõe chás do Sião, pepitas do Brasil,
jóias da Pérsia

Morfina,
a morfina
Vem ver a actuação, o exótico pernil, a doce inércia

Mundo Cão, “Mundo Cão”, 2007


Uma das mais promissoras bandas de Rock em Portugal, a lingua portuguesa tão bem escrita e cantada que até me faz lembrar os grandes Ornatos Violeta! Genial!

Começamos ao contrário

Um dos meus temas favoritos do álbum "9" dos Luiz e a Lata! Absolutamente genial!

Mamma Said

Mama, she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
"Son, your life's an open book
Don't close it 'fore its done"
"The brightest flame burns quickest
"That's what I heard her say
A son's heart's owned to mother
But I must find my way

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Yeah, still

Rebel, my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains

Left home at an early age
Of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what i said is done

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still

Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
l now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still

Mama, now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need our arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see

Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama, let my heart go
Let this heart be still
Let my heart go
Mama, let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
l now take to my grave
Never I ask of you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still


Metallica, “Load”, 1996

Mais uma do álbum "Load", que tanta polémica criou quando saiu, e que tanto foi criticado pelo fâs. Para mim, sempre foi um álbum excelente, e esta música é apenas um dos muitos exemplos disso.

King Nothing

Wish I may

Wish I might

Have this wish tonightAre you satisfied?

Dig for gold

Dig for fame

You dig to make your name

Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste

All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger,

but there's no one around

Just want one thing,

just to play the King

But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name

Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Where's your crown? Hard and cold

Bought and sold

A heart as hard as gold

Yeah! Are you satisfied?

Wish I might, Wish I may

You wish your life away

Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste

All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger, but there's no one around

Just want one thing.

just to play the King

But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name

Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Where's your crown? Huh!

Wish I may, wish I might

Have this wish, I wish tonight

I want that star, I want it now

I want it all and I don't care how

Careful what you wish

Careful what you say

Careful what you wish you may regret it

Careful what you wish you just might get it

Then it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger, but there's no one around

Just want one thing, just to play the King

But the castle crumbled and you're left with just a name

Where's your crown, King Nothing?

Where's your crown?

Oh, You're just nothing

Where's your crown King Nothing?

Oh, you're just nothing

Absolutely nothing

Off to never, never land

Metallica, “Load”, 1996

Respirando ainda as novidades dos Metallica, vi este vídeo no outro dia na televisão e fiquei surpreendida, porque nunca o tinha visto, apesar de conhecer a música. Não podia deixar de postar. Genial como sempre!

Broken

I wanted you to know

I love the way you laugh

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You´ve gone away You don´t feel me here, anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again

I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away

There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

‘Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

‘Cause I'm broken when I'm open

And I don't feel like I am strong enough

‘Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away

You´ve gone away
You don´t feel me here, anymore


Seether, “Disclaimer II”, 2004

Grande música, excelente vídeo!

Nem um dia

Um dia frio
Um bom lugar p’ra ler um livro
E o pensamento lá em você,
Eu sem você não vivo
Um dia triste
Toda fragilidade incide
E o pensamento lá em você,
E tudo me divide

Longe da felicidade
E todas as suas luzes
Te desejo como ao ar
Mais que tudo,
És manhã na natureza das flores
Mesmo por toda riqueza
Dos Sheiks árabes
Não te esquecerei um dia,
Nem um dia
Espero com a força do pensamento
Recriar a luz que me trará você.

E tudo nascerá mais belo,
O verde faz do azul com o amarelo
O elo com todas as cores
P’ra enfeitar amores gris.

Djavan, “Malásia”, 1998


All the good memories and all the wrong reasons...

The day that never comes

Ora aí está... o mais recente avanço para o novo álbum dos Metallica "Death Magnetic", com estreia mundial marcada para o próximo dia 12 de Setembro.

Até lá deliciemo-nos com mais esta obra dos mestres.... BRUTAL!!!!

You don't know me

You give your hand to me
Then you say hello
I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so

And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
'Cause you don't know me

For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too

You give your hand to me
And then you say good-byeI
watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never know
The one who loves you so
Well, you don't know me

For I never knew
The art of making love
Though my heart aches
With love for you
Afraid and shy
I've let my chance go by
The chance that you might
Love me, too

You give your hand to me
Then you say good-bye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
Ooh, you'll never ever know
The one who loves you so
You don't know me

You never know the
The one who loves you so,
Well, you don't know me

Michael Buble, “It’s Time”, 2005


Descobri que estou apaixonada pelo Michael Buble... Esta podia ter sido escrita para mim...

'Sweet About Me'

Simplesmente irresistível...

"Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Ohh easily, the climax of the perfect lie.
Ohh watching me, hanging by a string this time.
Ohh easily, smile worth a hundred lies.

If theres lessons to be learned, I'd rather get my jamming words in first so, tell you something that I've found, that the worlds a better place when its upside down boy.

If theres 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.

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh

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 theres 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.

Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh
Sweet about me, nothing sweet about me, Yehh"

Gabriella Cilmi, “Lessons to be learned”, 2008

My Heart

Não conhecia esta cantora... fiquei completamente rendida! Excelente música para ficar no ouvido antes de ir de férias!




My heart my head my mind my soul
My feelings over you
My tears my touch remember all that I am to you
My heart my mind my soul
My feelings over you
My tears my touch remember all that I am

When you're gonna pick up the phone and call me
Tell me I can come over I got my ticket and my bags are packed
My coat is hangin' over my shoulder
Time is passing and it's getting late
This heart of mine just can't wait
And after all that we've been through
I maybe get there and I'll give it to you baby

My heart my head my mind my soul
My feelings over you
My tears my touch remember all that I am to you
My heart my mind my soul
My feelings over you
My tears my touch remember all that I am

Standing by the window and lookin' out
My heart is turning
I want to shout
You're complicated I don't want to complain
The way you're acting can you explain
Why all this love is wasted on you
Can I live with all that is you
You say you love me silence I can't hear
All I want is to be near you baby

My heart my head my mind my soul
My feelings over you
My tears my touch remember all that I am to you
My heart my mind my soul
My feelings over you
My tears my touch remember all that I am

I'm looking for a reason to stay true
Looking for our love
Looking at me and looking at you
And even if I could turn away and then
I see that I'm falling in love again
Some times I wanna give you up
Some times I want to leave you alone
Some times I want to run away
And some times I want you to come back home
Come home to me yeah yeah baby
I know
I know you'll be good for me
Come home come homeYeah baby
I'm right here baby
Come home to me
Yes I'm right here baby
Yeah all I am to you
I know you feel me baby
Yeah yeah
Come on come on
Home to me


Lizz Wright, “The Orchard”, 2008

Landing in London

Não me canso de ouvir esta música... uma das minhas preferidas dos 3 Doors Down!




I woke up today in London
As the plane was touching down
And all I could think about was Monday
Maybe I`d be back around
If this keeps me way much longer
I don`t know what I would do
You´ve got to understand it`s a hard life,
that I`m going through

And when the night falls in around me
And I don`t think I`ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

L A is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can`t wait to get back home
And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it`s all to much to bear

And when the night falls in around me
And I don`t think I`ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

And all these days I spend away
Ill make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it`s all to much to bear
And when the night falls in around me
And I don`t think I`ll make it through
Ill use your light to guide the way
All I think about is you

3 Doors Down, “ Seventeen Days”, 2005

Broken Wings

Mais uma bela recordação de uma excelente banda - os Alter Bridge - corria o ano de 2004.

"Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls

Leave the peace alone
Now we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone

On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long

Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love

Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls

In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too

Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be

Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And I'll that I'll be"

Alter Bridge, “One day remains”, 2004

Night Eternal

Novo videoclip dos Moonspell: vale a pena ver!

Night Eternal

To crown the Sufferer in their glory
Come for we are failing
Come for we are waiting

For we are trying to breathe

First in the skies, apocalypse
Only your fury can set us free
Come for we are failing
Come for we are waiting
For we are trying to breed

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying

Come forth, for we are blood
And to blood we shall return

“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of saints,
and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus”

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying


Moonspell, “Night Eternal”, 2008

Time to pretend

Adorei este vídeo: alucinante, provocador, surpreendente...

Prestem atenção a esta letra:

"I'm Feelin rough I'm Feelin raw I'm in the prime of my life.
Let's make some music make some money find some models for wives.
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

This is our decision to live fast and die young.
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends.
We were fated to pretend.

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms.
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world.
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home.
Yeah I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do.
Love must be forgotten. Life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce,
we'll find some more models, Everything must run its course.

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end.
We were fated to pretend".

MGMT, “Oracular Spectacular”, 2008

Time

A banda chama-se Blackcowboy e o seu mais recente álbum "The only time is now" é absolutamente delicioso!

Selfish Jean

Um belo exemplo de como as coisas mais simples são sempre as mais geniais!

War Dance

Um dos momentos altos do concerto dos THE TEMPLE, no SBSR de 2005...Sempre poderosos e surpreendentes, para mim uma das melhores bandas da cena pesada em Portugal!
Rock de altíssima qualidade!

ROCK NOW, SOCIETY LATER!

Violet Hill

"Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow, white snow

Clearly I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog, became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in armor
When I’m dead and hit the ground
My love's opposed but unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
Who the captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in the snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?"

Coldplay, “Viva La Vida or Death and all his friends”, 2008

Novo single dos Coldplay... Genial!

Opium @ Rock in Rio 2008 Lisboa

Um dos muitos momentos altos do concerto de Moonspell no Rock In Rio Lisboa.
Uma das minhas músicas preferidas de sempre dos Moonspell... Do melhor que se faz em Portugal!

Seek and Destroy @ Rock in Rio Lisbon 2008

Um dos melhores momentos do concerto de Matallica no Rock in Rio Lisboa!!!

HELL YEAH!!!

Everything You Want

Esta é daquelas músicas que nunca me esqueço - a banda é Vertical Horizon, o ano 2000 - Genial!

No Ordinary Love

Sem dúvida uma das minhas cantoras preferidas de todos os tempos - esta mulher é linda - e uma música absolutamente perfeita!

Homecoming

Mais uma dupla aparentemente improvável - Kanye West e Chris Martin - com um resultado final bastante feliz.

Sing it Back

Mais uma bela recordação - Moloko com "Sing it back", corria o ano de 2001.

Painkiller

Não conhecia esta banda - Turin Brakes - e gostei bastante do som!

Muito interessante!

Letting The Cables Sleep

Reencontrei-me por acaso, com esta música hoje.
Já não me lembrava como é genial.

Miss Murder

Sou completamente fâ desta banda... AFI (A Fire Inside). Esta música faz parte do último álbum da banda chamado "December Underground".
A quem não conhece, vejam e ouçam com atenção.

Genial!

SCORPION FLOWER

Aí está o mais recente avanço do álbum "Night Eternal", a sair am Maio. Grande música, grande vídeo, grande banda.

Apreciem!

Free your mind

Prejudice, want a song about it?

Like to hear? Here it goes

Free your mind

I wear tight clothing, high heel shoes

It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute (no, no, no)

I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes

That doesn't mean that I'm a sellin' dope (no, no, no)

Oh my, forgive me for having straight hair

It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs

I might date another race or color

It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Why, oh why must it be this way?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me

(I said)

Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

So I'm a sista

Buy things with cash

That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad (Oh)

So why dispute me and waste my time

Because you really think the price is high for me

I can't look without being watched

You rang my buy before I made up my mind

Oh now attitude why even bother

I can't change your mind, can't change my color

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Why, oh why must it be this way?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me

(I said)

Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind and the rest will follow

Be color-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Why, oh why must it be this way?

Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me

En Vogue, “Funky Divas”, 1992

*Absolutamente actual esta letra...

Tourada

Não importa sol ou sombra

camarotes ou barreiras

toureamos ombro a ombro as feras.

Ninguém nos leva ao engano

toureamos mano a mano

só nos podem causar dano as esperas.

Entram guizos chocas e capotes

e mantilhas pretas

entram espadas chifres e derrotes

e alguns poetas

entram bravos cravos e dichotes

porque tudo o mais são tretas.

Entram vacas depois dos forcados que não pegam nada.

Soam brados e olés dos nabos que não pagam nada

e só ficam os peões de brega

cuja profissão não pega.

Com bandarilhas de esperança

afugentamos a fera estamos na praça da Primavera.

Nós vamos pegar o mundo

pelos cornos da desgraça

e fazermos da tristeza graça.

Entram velhas doidas e turistas

entram excursões

entram benefícios e cronistas

entram aldrabões

entram marialvas e coristas

entram galifões de crista.

Entram cavaleiros à garupa

do seu heroísmo

entra aquela música maluca

do passodoblismo

entra a aficionada e a caduca mais o snobismo

e cismo...

Entram empresários moralistas entram frustrações

entram antiquários e fadistas

e contradições

e entra muito dólar muita gente que dá lucro aos milhões.

E diz o inteligente que acabaram as canções.

Fernando Tordo, 1973

A propósito das comemorações do 25 de Abril, e relembrando os cantautores de intervenção que marcaram uma época, relembro este poema como uma pérola da língua portuguesa, fruto de um dos nossos mais geniais poetas: José Carlos Ary dos Santos. Também absolutamente brilhante a música criada pelo Fernando Tordo! Um verdadeiro tesouro!

Sun Goes Down

Esta é fresquinha... O Sr. chama-se David Jordan e o álbum só sai em Maio, mas esta música já se ouve por aí!
Achei interessante esta espécie de mistura de Prince com Tarkan e, a bem da verdade, gosto da música... já cheira a Verão!

Defense

Aqui fica um vídeo de uma promissora banda portuguesa chamada Dollar LLama...Vale a pena ouvir com atenção estes rapazes!

The Beat Goes On

Um bom exemplo do trabalho do Bob Sinclar! Gosto bastante desta música... Para esquecer o stress e sacudir o esqueleto!

One

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me
Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Darkness Imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell Landmine
Has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in Hell

Metallica, “And Justice for all”, 1990

Vi ontem num canal de música uma selecção de 10 vídeos dos Metallica e são todos tão bons que é impossível escolher o melhor... esta música não constava nessa lista, o que é, na minha opinião, uma grande falha... É um tema absolutamente genial...

HELL YEAH!!! (nunca mais chega o dia 5 de Junho...)

Ziggy Stardust

Eu não sei pintar,
Eu não vi o seu filme,
Não sou de jogar, não bebo em pé,
Não frequento bar
Assim me sinto bem, não devo a ninguém

Eu não vou mudar,
Vou ficar com o meu team,
Não vou misturar cachaça e café
Só p’ra te agradar
Assim me sinto bem, não devo a ninguém

Meu instinto não falha,
Nêga, baixa essa saia,
Gente assim se atrapalha,
Eu já quase morri de fome, mas eu hoje estou bem

Eu não sei pintar,
Eu não vi o seu filme,
Não sou de jogar, não bebo em pé,
Não frequento bar
Assim me sinto bem, não devo a ninguém

Eu não vou mudar,
Vou ficar com o meu team,
Não vou misturar cachaça e café
Só p’ra te agradar
Assim me sinto bem, não devo a ninguém

Meu instinto não falha,
Nêga, baixa essa saia,
Gente assim se atrapalha,
Eu já quase morri de fome, mas eu hoje estou bem

Eu só sei tocar guitarra

Seu Jorge, “Life Aquatic Studio Sesssions”, 2005

Versões absolutamente geniais das músicas de David Bowie , de um dos meus músicos brasileiros de eleição, reunidas numa banda sonora de um filme de Wes Anderson... A não perder!

O Centro Comercial fechou

O Centro Comercial fechou
A Maria vai viver a vida mais longe
Longe das ilusões
Em cima das situações
Perigosas

O Toino não morreu no mar
Acabou de adquirir um castelo na Escócia,
Enfim, não é bem na Escócia
É uma cave sombria
Em Gaia

O passado já lá está
Raio de uma sorte cinzenta
E o presente é uma réstea de esperança
Enquanto houver saúde

Há que cuidar do aspecto
Fazê-lo parecer natural
Por mais que seja cruel
Não há ninguém que ajude

Ninguém nos ensinou a usar
Nada do que recolhemos pelo caminho
Perto das ilusões
Entre o Amor e as razões
Perversas

O passado já lá está
Raio de uma sorte cinzenta
E o presente é uma réstea de esperança
Enquanto houver saúde

Há que cuidar do aspecto
Fazê-lo parecer natural
Por mais que seja cruel
Não há ninguém que ajude

Jorge Palma, “Voo Nocturno”, 2007

Palavras para quê... É um genial artista português...

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this

Like I have never seen the sky before

I want to vanish inside your kiss

Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change, winter to spring

But I love you until the end of time

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace

Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste

It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high

No river too wide

Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side

Storm clouds may gather

And stars may collide

But I love you until the end of time

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may

I will love you, I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you until my dying day

Ewan Mcgregor & Nicole Kidman, “Moulin Rouge OST”, 2001

Sem dúvida o meu filme preferido de todos os tempos e uma das melhores bandas sonoras de sempre... a não perder!

In my Place

In my place, in my place,

were lines that I couldn't change,

I was lost, oh yeah.

and I was lost, I was lost,

Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed,

I was lost, oh yeah.

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Oh for it, yeah

I was scared, I was scared,

tired and under prepared,

but I´ll wait for it.

And if you go, if you go,

and leave me down here on my own,

then I'll wait for you, yeah.

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Yeah, how long must you pay for it?

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?

Oh for it, yeah

Sing it please, please, please,

come back and sing to me,to me, me.

Come on and sing it out, now, now.

Come on and sing it out, to me, me

come back and sing.

In my place, in my place,

were lines that I couldn't change,

I was lost, oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Coldplay, “A Rush of blood to the head”, 2003

Uma das minhas bandas britânicas preferidas... este é um tema de que gosto particularmente, a par com o "Yellow" e com o "Fix you".

Heart in a Cage

Well I don't feel better
When I'm fucking around
And I don't write better
When I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson
Cause I've already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

oh the heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
But I belong in a field
yeah we got left, left,left, left,left, left, left
Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they're laughing at us
All of those you loved you mistrust
Help me I'm just not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you werearound
oh he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

I'm sorry you were thinking

I would steal your fire.

oh the heart beats in its cage
yes the heart beats in its cage
alrightoh the heart beats in its cage

The Strokes, “First impressions of Earth”, 2006

Esta é uma música poderosa, de uma banda que gosto bastante...Parece mesmo que consegumos ouvir o bater do coração aprisionado...

Where the Wild Roses Grow

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one

As she stared in my eyes and smiled

For her lips were the colour of the roses

That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room

My trembling subsided in his sure embrace

He would be my first man, and with a careful hand

He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

On the second day I brought her a flower

She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen

I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow

So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose

Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow?"

I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed

He said, "If I show you the roses will you follow?"

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

On the third day he took me to the river

He showed me the roses and we kissed

And the last thing I heard was a muttered word

As he stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow

And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief

As I kissed her goodbye, I said, "All beauty must die"

And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

They call me The Wild Rose

but my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know

For my name was Elisa Day

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, “The Best of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds”, 1998

A dupla Nick Cave e Kylie Minogue parecia absolutamente improvável... No entanto, resultou de forma inesperadamente brilhante...
