Bué (Você é)

Novo single de Sara Tavares, retirado do álbum "Xinti". Mais uma música com uma excelente vibe, mesmo ao jeito da Sara. Gostei!

Remember the time

Do you remember
When we fell in love
We were so young and innocent then
Do you remember
How it all began
It just seemed like heaven so why did it end?

Do you remember
Back in the fall
We'd be together all day long
Do you remember
Us holding hands
In each other's eyes we'd stare
(Tell me)

Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Do you remember
How we used to talk
(Ya know)
We'd stay on the phone at night till dawn
Do you remember
All the things we said like
I love you so I'll never let you go

Do you remember
Back in the Spring
Every morning birds would sing
Do you remember
Those special times
They'll just go on and on
In the back of my mind

Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met girl
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Those sweet memories
Will always be dear to me
And girl no matter what was said
I will never forget what we had
Now baby!

Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time
When we first met
Do you remember the time
When we fell in love
Do you remember the time

Remember the times
Ooh
Remember the times
Do you remember girl
Remember the times
On the phone you and me
Remember the times
Till dawn, two or three
What about us girl

Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
In the park, on the beach
Remember the times
You and me in Spain
Remember the times
What about, what about...

Remember the times
Ooh...in the park
Remember the times
After dark...Do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Do you, do you, do you, do you
Remember the times
Yeah yeah

Michael Jackson, “Dangerous”, 1991

Em memória de um dos maiores artistas de sempre, desaparecido ontem, aqui fica uma das minhas músicas favoritas.

Gaivota

Se uma gaivota viesse
Trazer-me o céu de lisboa
No desenho que fizesse,
Nesse céu onde o olhar
É uma asa que não voa,
Esmorece e cai no mar.

Que perfeito coração
No meu peito bateria,
Meu amor na tua mão,
Nessa mão onde cabia
Perfeito o meu coração.

Se um português marinheiro,
Dos sete mares andarilho,
Fosse quem sabe o primeiro
A contar-me o que inventasse,
Se um olhar de novo brilho
No meu olhar se enlaçasse.

Que perfeito coração
No meu peito bateria,
Meu amor na tua mão,
Nessa mão onde cabia
Perfeito o meu coração.

Se ao dizer adeus à vida
As aves todas do céu,
Me dessem na despedida
O teu olhar derradeiro,
Esse olhar que era só teu,
Amor que foste o primeiro.

Que perfeito coração
Morreria no meu peito,
Meu amor na tua mão,
Nessa mão onde perfeito
Bateu o meu coração.


Uma das mais geniais ideias musicais dos últimos tempos no nosso país cinzento, um projecto tão absolutamente brilhante, que chega a ser comovente. Adoro o vídeo, é perfeito.

Can't change me

She can do anything at all
About anything she pleases
If I were to change what she thinks is wrong
What could she want with me?
But wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to read me

Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me

She has the daylight at her command
She gives the night its dreams
She can uncover your darkest fear
And make you forget you feel it
But wait just one minute more
I can see that she's trying to free me

Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
Suddenly I can see everything that's wrong with me
But what can I do?
I'm the only thing I really have at all
But wait just one minute here
I can see that she's trying to need me

Suddenly I know
She's going to change the world
But she can't change me
No she can't change me

Chris Cornell, “Euphoria Morning”, 1999

* Recordação do ano de 1999, uma das minhas músicas favoritas do Chris Cornell, com a participação da modelo portguesa Ana Cristina Oliveira.

Choose Love

I choose to hide
But I look for you all the time
I choose to run
But I'm begging for you to come
I wanna break
But I know that you can take
I stay a while
To be sure that you're by my side

Oh, oh
Don't look at me, just look inside
'Cause I can go through
Tell me, are you goin' tired
Of what I don't do
I wanna see, I wanna fight
'Cause I don't feel scared
Honey, if you care

I choose to find
Things that you left behind
I choose to stare
But I can take you anywhere
I wanna stay
But my soul leaves you anyway
Can close the door
And love, could you give me more

Don't look at me, just look inside
'Cause I can go through
Tell me, are you goin' tired
Of what I don't do
I wanna see, I wanna fight
'Cause I don't feel scared
Honey, if you care

Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love,

Don't wanna hear, I wanna fight
'Cause this time I won't be wrong
And I can waste this precious time
Asking where do I belong
So let me know your love is real
'Cause this time you won't control
Tell me please, what do you feel
Do I have to save your soul

Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love


Rita Redshoes, "Golden Era", 2008


*Na minha opinião, uma música super bem conseguida e uma cantora que é quase a versão feminina do David Fonseca! Gosto!

Walking on a Dream

Walking on a dream

How can I explain

Talking to myself

Will I see again

We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it

Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it

On and on and on we are calling out and out again

Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me

Is it real now

when two people become one

I can feel it

When two people become one

Thought I’d never see

The love you found in me

Now it’s changing all the time

Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Catch me I’m falling down

Catch me I’m falling down

Don’t stop just keep going on

I’m your shoulder lean upon

So come on deliver from inside

All we got is tonight that is right till first light


Empire of the sun, "Walking on a Dream"2008

Não consegui resistir a esta música porque me levou de novo para os (belos) anos 80, num misto de "A Flock of Seagulls" com "Alphaville"... Gostei!

Wrong

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique
Wrong
Wrong

There's something wrong with me
Cannot be something wrong with me
Inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
With the wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes
The wrong questions with the wrong replies
Wrong
Wrong

I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook
Made the wrong move, every wrong night
With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yah
Wrong
Wrong

Wrong

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Depeche Mode, "Sounds of the Universe"


* Aqui fica o mais recente single do novo álbum dos Depeche Mode, a ser editado em Abril. A julgar por esta amostra, promete...
(dia 11 de Julho no Porto, lá estarei!)

Os Búzios

Havia a solidão da prece num olhar triste

Como se os seus olhos fossem as portas de pranto

Sinal da cruz que persiste, os dedos contra o quebranto

E os búzios que a velha lançava sobre um velho manto

Há espera está um grande amor, mas guarda segredo

Vazio tens o teu coração na porta do medo

Vê como os búzios caíram virados p'ra norte

Pois eu vou mexer no destino vou mudar-te a sorte

Havia um desespero intenso na sua voz

O quarto cheirava a incenso e mais uns quantos pós

A velha agitava o lenço, dobrou, deu-lhe dois nós

E o seu pai de santo falou, usando-lhe a voz

Há espera está um grande amor mas guarda segredo

Vazio, tens o teu coração na porta do medo

Vê como os búzios caíram virados p'ra norte

Pois eu vou mexer no destino vou mudar-te a sorte

Há espera está um grande amor, mas guarda segredo

Vazio, tens o teu coração na porta do medo

Vê como os búzios caíram virados p'ra norte

Pois eu vou mexer no destino, vou mudar-te a sorte

Ana Moura, “Para além da saudade”, 2007

Uma das mais promissoras novas vozes do Fado num tema simplesmente brilhante!

Who's gonna save my soul?

Got some bad news
This morning
Which en turn made my day
When this someone
Spoke i listen
Ohh a sudden has less
And less to say
Oooo how could this be
All this time I lived by carrsioly

Who's gonna save my soul now
Who's gonna save my soul now
How will story
Ever be told now
How will story be told now
Made me fell like somebody
Like somebody else
Although he was imatied often
Feel like i would be myself
It's a shame
That someone elses song
Was totally
And completely depended on

Who's gonna sang my song now
Who's gonna sang my song now
I wonder If i will live grow old now
Getting high
Cause i feel so lone now
I may be just a little selfish
All i have is the memory
Yet i never start to wonder
Is it possible
You hurt worse than me
still my heart turns to greed
cause what about what i need

An aahh
Who's gon save my soul now
Whooo's gon save my soul now
Oo i know I'm out of control now
Tired enough
To lay my own soul down

Gnarls Barkley, "The Odd Couple", 2008

Há já muito tempo que não via um vídeo tão interessante, esteticamente tão forte e emocionante! Genial!
