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

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

Nobody's Wife

I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream

for the times that I killed your dreams

for the times that I made your whole world rumble

for the times that I made you cry

for the times that I told you lies

for the times that I watched and let you stumble

It's too bad, but that's me

what goes around comes around, you'll see

that I can carry the burden of pain

'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane

and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life

I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be

nobody's wife

I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home

left you lyin' in that bed alone

was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder

you're like a stone hangin' round my neck, see

cut it loose before it breaks my back,see

I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways

you know I've tried but I'm still the same

I've got to do it my own way

It's too bad, but hey, that's me

what goes around comes around, you'll see

that I can carry the burden of pain

'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane

and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life

I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be

nobody's wife

Anouk, "Together alone", 1997

Grande cantora, excelente música...

No one Knows

No One Knows

We get some rules to follow

That and this

These and those

No one knows

We get these pills to swallow

How they stick

In your throat

Tastes like gold

Oh, what you do to me

No one knows

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool of mine

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool of mine

I journey through the desert

Of the mind

With no hope

I found low

I drift along the ocean

Dead lifeboats in the sun

And come undone

Pleasantly caving in

I come undone

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool of mine

And I realize you're mine

Indeed a fool and mine

Heaven smiles above me

What a gift there below

But no one knows

A gift that you give to me

No one knows

Queens Of The Stone Age, “Songs for the deaf”, 2004

Somebody told me

Breaking my back just to know your name

Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game

I'm breaking my back just to know your name

But heaven ain't close in a place like this

Anything goes but don't blink you might miss

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this

I said heaven ain't close in a place like this

Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight

Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me

You had a boyfriend

Who looks like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll into something new

Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you

Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this

I said heaven ain't close in a place like this

Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight

Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Somebody told me

You had a boyfriend

Who looks like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

A rushin', a rushin' around

Place yourself for me

I said maybe baby please

But I just don't know now

When all I wanna do is try

Somebody told me

You had a boyfriend

Who looks like a girlfriend

That I had in February of last year

It's not confidential

I've got potential

A rushin', a rushin' around

The Killers, “Hot Fuss”, 2004

Sign 'O' the Times

In France a skinny man

Died of a big disease with a little name

By chance his girlfriend came across a needle

And soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen-year-old boys

And their idea of fun

Is being in a gang called The Disciples

High on crack, totin' a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church

And killed everyone inside

U turn on the telly and every other story

Is tellin' U somebody died

Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it

And we're sending people 2 the moon

In September my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time

Now he's doing horse, it's June

Times, times

It's silly, no?

When a rocket ship explodes

And everybody still wants 2 fly

Some say a man ain't happy

Unless a man truly dies

Oh why

Time, time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly

Neighbors just shine it on

But if a night falls and a bomb falls

Will anybody see the dawn

Time, times

It's silly, no?

When a rocket blows

And everybody still wants 2 fly

Some say a man ain't happy, truly

Until a man truly dies

Oh why, oh why,

Sign O the Times

Time, time

Sign O the Times mess with your mind

Hurry before it's 2 late

Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby

We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy

Time, time

Amy Winehouse, “Back to Black”, 2007

Original, polémica, genial... assim é Amy Winehouse...

I Don't Love You

Well when you go

So ever think I'll make you try to stay

And maybe when you get back

I'll be off to find another way

And after all this time that you still owe

You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know

So take your gloves and get out

Better get out

While you can

When you go

Would you even turn to say

I don't love you

Like I did

Yesterday

Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading

So sick and tired of all the needless beating

But baby when they knock you

Down and out

It's where you oughta stay

And after all the blood that you still owe

Another dollar's just another blow

So fix your eyes and get up

Better get up

While you can

When you go

Would you even turn to say

I don't love you

Like I did

Yesterday

When you go

Would you have the guts to say

I don't love you

Like I loved you

Yesterday

My Chemical Romance, “The Black Parade”, 2006

Andei

Andei, Andei, Andei,

Á procura de um sorriso teu

Nele via a alegria que a vida me escondeu

Mas tu não quiseste ouvir o que eu tinha para dizer

Preferiste ficar triste por achares que não me davas

O que eu nunca quis ter

Não vou dizer que não

Que não te quero mais

Mas já não há razão

P´ra seguir por onde vais

Andei, Andei, Andei,

Louco p'ra te poder ver feliz

Tentei os truques do Mago

E os feitiços do Aprendiz

Mesmo assim ainda pensas que amar não é um Dom

E que a gente só é gente quando toda a gente pensa

Que o que a gente faz é bom

Não vou dizer que não

Que não te quero mais

mas já não há (qualquer razão)

p'ra seguir por onde vais

Luiz e a Lata, "Andei", 2005

Excelente banda nacional com músicos fantásticos e uma das melhores vozes masculinas do nosso país... A não perder!

Never There

I need your arms around me
I need to feel your touch
I need your understanding
I need your love so much

You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)
Baby, you're never there

On the phone long, long distance
Always through such strong resistance
And first you say you're too busy
I wonder if you even miss me

Never there
You're never there
You're never ever ever ever there
Hey!

A golden bird that flies away
A candle's fickle flame
To think I held you yesterday
Your love was just a game

You tell me that you love me so
You tell me that you care
But when I need you (baby)

Take the time to get to know me
If you want me why can't you just show me
We're always on this roller coaster
If you want me why can't you get closer

Never there
You're never there
You're never ever, ever, ever, there

Cake, "Prolonging the magic", 1998


Muitas noites passadas a ouvir e a dançar esta música...que saudades!

Home

Another summer day

Has come and gone away

In Paris and Rome

But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by

A million people I

Still feel all alone

I just wanna go home

I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you

Each one a line or two"I'm fine baby, how are you?

"Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough

My words were cold and flat

And you deserve more than that

Another airplane

Another sunny place

I'm lucky I know

But I wanna go home

I've got to go home

Let me go home

I'm just too far

From where you are

I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life

It's like I just stepped outside

When everything was going right

And I know just why you could not

Come along with me

But this was not your dream

But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come

And gone away

And even Paris and Rome

And I wanna go home

Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by

A million people I

Still feel alone

Let me go home

I miss you, you know

Let me go home

I've had my runBaby, I'm done

I gotta go home

Let me go home

It all will be alright

I'll be home tonight

I'm coming back home

Michael Bublé , “It’s Time”, 2005

Absolutamente maravilhoso...

Angel Song

This is me with another nervous breakdown

My pressure dropped, this body went with it

Memory fails, I'm feeling claustrophobic

I scream my silent pain in this big plain

There's no one here

Tell me who is there now

Who is there with you

I'm taking no calls unless it's her voice

I'm seeing no one unless it's her

I open the mailbox every hour

Maybe I'll hit the postman

I want to hear some love words

But not it that dyslexic voice

No I won't tear apart for you

But I was given no choice

I guess I was trying to keep me alive

But once I was dead there was nothing to do beside

Picking me up and lying me down

Waiting for some angel

To wake me and say to me"Hello. Don't be scared.

I want you to know, you're not dead."

Kiss me, is this a dream?

Should I believe it?

Please promise to me that I'm not going to get hurt this time.

Am I too good for you, am I just paranoid?

Should I get clinical ou should I speak louder?

Maybe I should close my eyes for years

And wait for the strongest feeling

Out of all of the feelings

to raise from you.

"Many years ago

I had this dream about a girl that come flying tthrough my window

and whisper in my hear

You're my Boy"

Am I real?

Are you real? Is this real? What's real?

Am I real? Are you real? Is this real?

Tell me, what's real?

Silence 4, “Silence becomes it”, 1996

Grande música, excelente banda...

Soulmate

Incompatible, it don't matter though'

cos someone's bound to hear my cry

Speak out if you do

you're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable

is already in my life?

right in front of me

or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

who knows how to love you without being told

somebody tell me why I'm on my own

if there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end

how do I find the perfect fit

there's enough for everyone

but I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

who knows how to love you without being told

somebody tell me why I'm on my own

if there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory

They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold

who knows how to love you without being told

somebody tell me why I'm on my own

if there's a soulmate for everyone

Natasha Bedingfield, “NB”, 2007

"Para ti o Amor surge fora de prazo, é uma música em descompasso"

Chelsea Rodgers

Chelsea Rodgers was a model

Thought she really rocked the road, yes she did

Kept her tears up in a bottle

Poured them out to save her soul

Ask her what she liked the most

She said, she liked to talk to Jimi's ghost, Ow!

Fantasy, her friends boast (This girl is fly)

Chelsea's fly, like coast to coast (Mmmm)

Hollywood or Times Square

If the party's fly, my girl is there (yes she is)

Purple's on and bounce in her hair

21st Century hippy, Chelsea don't care

Try to catch her if you can (Come on now together)

You never see her with my man (Uh, a brother got to jump n the water)

He must be baptized, according to the masterplan,'

Fore she give up the good thang

Go ahead Chelsea! (Go ahead Chelsea!)

No cut diamonds, and designer shoes (Uh, no-no!)'

Cause she's too original from her head down to herfeet

(Rehab) (If you want to) (just don't mean no me)

Chelsea don't eat no meat, still got but like a leather seat

Go ahead Chelsea! (Go ahead Chelsea!) Come on

Next to her they just a fool.

Chelsea read more books than a few

Moses was a Pharoah in the 18th Dynasty

And Rome was chillin' in Carthage in 33 BCE

And the day that we stop counting, we live as long as a tree

Go ahead Chelsea, teach me! Go ahead Chelsea.

Make a promise to your higher self, get you nothing,fame and wealth

You don't be chasing nobodies’ ghost.

Of everything, make the most (Come on!)

John Legend, “Once Again”, 2006

So sexy.... Jonh Legend is the man...

This ain't a scene (it's an arms race)

I am an arms dealer feeding you with

Weapons in the form of words

And (don't really care... which side wins)

As long as the room keeps singing

that's just thebusiness I'm in

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

I'm not a shoulder to cry on

But I digress

I'm the leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate

Oh so intricate.

I'm the leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate

Oh so intricate

I wrote the gospel on giving up

(You look pretty sinking)

But the real bombshells have already sunk

(Prima Donnas of the gutter)

At night we're painting your trash gold

While you sleepcrashing not like hips or cars

But more like p-p-p-parties

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

Bandwagon's full

Please catch another

I'm the leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate

Oh so intricate

I'm the leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate

Oh so intricate

All the boys who the dancefloor didn't love

And all the girls whose lips couldn't move fastenough

Sing...until your lungs give out

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

(Now you)This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

(Wear out the goove)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race(Sing it out loud)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race(Oh, oh)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn arms race

I'm the leading man

And the lies I weave are oh so intricate

Oh so intricate

Fall Out Boy “Infinity on High”, 2006

Na minha opinião uma das melhores novas bandas da cena musical. Makes me feel like dancing...

Boys of Summer

Nobody on the road

Nobody on the beach

I feel it in the air

The summer's out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets

The sun goes down alone

I'm drivin' by your house

Though I know you're not at home

But I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on,baby

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights

I wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made me crazy?

Remember how I made you scream

Now I don't understand what happened to our love

But babe, I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today,

I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on aCadillac

A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back.

You can never look back.

"I thought I knew what love was

What did I know?

Those days are gone forever

I should just let them go

butI can see you

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you Your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on,

baby

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

Boas Férias!

Carvão

Surgiu como um clarão

Um raio me cortando a escuridão

E veio me puxando pela mão

Por onde não imaginei seguir

Me fez sentir tão bem, como ninguém

E eu fui me enganando sem sentir

E fui abrindo portas sem sair

Sonhando às cegas, sem dormir

Não sei quem é você

O amor em seu carvão

Foi me queimando em brasa no colchão

E me partiu em tantas pelo chão

Me colocou diante de um leão

O amor me consumiu, depois sumiu

E eu até perguntei, mas ninguém viu

E fui fechando o rosto sem sentir

E mesmo atenta, sem me distrair

Não sei quem é você

No espelho da ilusão

Se retocou pra outra traição

Tentou abrir as flores do perdão

Mas bati minha raiva no portão

E não mais me procure sem razão

Me deixe aqui e solta a minha mão

E fui flechando o tempo, sem chover

Fui fechando os meus olhos, pra esquecer

Quem é você?

Ana Carolina, “Dois Quartos”, 2006

Sou fã da Ana Carolina. Este poema é lindissimo... deixa-me sem fôlego...

Side

Well I believe there's someone watching over you

They're watching every single thing you say

And when you die they'll set you down and take youthrough

You'll realize one day

That the grass is always greener on the other side

The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive

And when time is running out you wanna stay alive

We all live under the same sky

We all will live we all will die

There is no wrong,

there is no right

The circle only has one side

One side, one side, side

We all try hard to live our lives in harmony

For fear of falling swiftly overboard

But life is both a major and a minor key

Just open up the chord

But the grass is always greener on the other side

The neighbour's got a new car that you wanna drive

And when time is running out you wanna stay alive

We all live under the same sky

We all will live we all will die

There is no wrong,

there is no right

The circle only has one side

One side, one side, side

Travis, “The Invisible Band”, 2001

Uma das minhas bandas preferidas. Adoro esta música e este video! Genial...

Walking after you

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds

Dreaming aloud

Things just won't do without you, matter of fact

I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

If you'd accept surrender, give up some more

Weren't you adored

I cannot be without you, matter of fact

I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two,

I'm on your back

I cannot be without you, matter of fact

I'm on your back

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two,

I'm on you backI'm on your back
