The Rain Song

Alguém se atreverá a duvidar de que esta é uma das canções mais bonitas que já foi escrita?


It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
It isn't hard to recognize
These things are clear to all from time to time

I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us
But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient
Upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain

Radiohead: Nude

E agora, para algo completamente diferente.

Instruções:

1. Colocar os auscultadores.
2. Diminuir a intensidade luminosa do ambiente.
3. Carregar em play.
4. Fechar os olhos para apurar a audição.

Nota: Poderá executar estes passos por qualquer ordem, mas se fechar os olhos em primeiro lugar, os outros são mais difíceis de executar. Se carregar em play antes de colocar os auscultadores, perde parte da experiência. Se diminuir a intensidade luminosa em primeiro lugar, pode não ver os auscultadores. Etc...



Don't get any big ideas
they're not gonna happen
You paint yourself white
and fill up with noise
but there'll be something missing

Now that you've found it, it's gone
Now that you feel it, you don't
You've gone off the rails

So don't get any big ideas
they're not going to happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

Metallica: Devil's dance

Yeah, I feel you too
Feel, those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns
To free the you
That's wanting through
Deep inside you know,
The seeds I plant will grow

One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Let's dance

Snake, I am the snake
Tempting, that bite you take
Let me free your mind
leave yourself behind
Be not afraid
I've got what you need
hunger I will feed

One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Let's dance

Yeah Come dancin'

One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Lets dance

Yeah, I feel you too
Feel, those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns
To free the you
That's running through
Deep inside you know
seeds I plant will grow

One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah c'mon, c'mon now take the chance
That's right
Let's dance!

It's nice to see you here

The Airborne Toxic Event

Sometime Around Midnight

And it starts...
sometime around midnight
or at least that's when
you lose yourself
for a minute or two

As you stand...
under the barlights
and the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while
and the piano's this melancholy soundcheck
to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
you haven't seen her
for a while

But you know...
that she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
she's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
she walks up and asks how you are
so you can smell her perfume
you can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change...
in your emotions
and all of these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind
of the curl of your bodies
like two perfect circles entwined
and you feel hopeless, and homeless
and lost in the haze
of the wine

And she leaves...
with someone you don't know
but she makes sure you saw her
she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes
and when your friends say what is it
you look like you've seen a ghost

And you walk...
under the streetlights
and you're too drunk to notice
that everyone is staring at you
and you so care what you look like
the world is falling
around you

You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her

and you know that she'll break you
in two

Jennifer She Said

A primeira música em audição em 2009. Saudosista? Naaaaa... muito boa música. Sempre.



Jennifer we can't go wrong let's put it in writing
Jennifer we can't go wrong let's do it right now
Maybe you were a little hasty
But they say love is blind
Now her name on you
Jennifer in blue
Did you ever have a bad dream wake up and it not stop?
Did you ever feel for a girl for a time and then stop?
Well it's written there in blue
With a heart and arrow through
Her name on you
Jennifer in blue
And forever you said that's forever you said yes forever
And forever she said that's forever she said yes forever
But you change with the weather
You change with the weather
And this is the rain

Jennifer She Said - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

Muse - Take A Bow

Um vídeo assustador feito por um utilizador do YouTube ao som da música dos Muse. Esta música é do melhor que tenho ouvido. Não a conhecia - pois dos Muse só tenho a compilação Hullabaloo - mas apareceu no novo trailer do filme Watchmen e despertou-me a atenção. Mas sobre este trailer falo já a seguir. Aqui fica o vídeo:



Corrupt, you corrupt,
and Bring corruption to all that you touch.

Hold, you’ll behold,
And be holden for all that you’ve done.

Spell, cast a spell,
Cast a spell on the country you run.

And risk, you will risk,
You will risk all their lives and their souls.

And burn, you will burn,
You will burn in hell, yeah you’ll burn in hell.
You’ll burn in hell, yeah you’ll burn in hell for your sins.

Ooohhh.
Our freedom's consuming itself,
What we've become is contrary to what we want
Take a bow.

Death, you bring death and destruction to all that you touch.

Pay, you must pay
You must pay for your crimes against the earth.

Hex, feed the hex
Feed the hex on the country you love

And Beg, you will beg
You will beg for their lives and their souls.

Yeah,
Burn, you will burn,
You will burn in hell, yeah you’ll burn in hell,
You’ll burn in hell, yeah you’ll burn in hell,
Burn in hell, yeah you'll burn in hell for your sins.

Muse, Take A Bow

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

Descubram as diferenças:

A versão original



A versão Remix por Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park)



Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

Sexto Andar

A propósito de Clã... do CD "Cintura" aqui fica um videoclip em desenho animado, de uma simples e bonita canção.



Uma canção passou no rádio
E quando o seu sentido
Se parecia apagar
Nos ponteiros do relógio
Encontrou num sexto andar
Alguém que julgou
Que era para si
Em particular
Que a canção estava a falar

E quando a canção morreu
Na frágil onda do ar
Ninguém soube o que ela deu
O que ninguém
Estava lá para dar

Um sopro um calafrio
Raio de sol num refrão
Um nexo enchendo o vazio
Tudo isso veio
Numa simples canção

Uma canção passou no rádio
Habitou um sexto andar

All Along The Watchtower

There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief,
There's too much confusion, I cant get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

No reason to get excited, the thief, he kindly spoke,
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Bob Dylan

All Along The Watchtower é, de todas as músicas de Bob Dylan, a que mais vezes foi por ele tocada em concerto.
Porque me lembrei agora desta música? Ok, eu confesso: aparece na Battlestar Galactica num dos momentos fulcrais da história. Pronto, lá falei eu da série outra vez. Só mais uma foto, vá:


Psst! No player podem ouvir uma versão da música. Prontinho.

Nightswimming

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse.
Still, it's so much clearer.
I forgot my shirt at the waters edge.
The moon is low tonight.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
I'm not sure all these people understand.
It's not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water.
They cannot see me naked.
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday.

Nightswimming, remembering that night.
September's coming soon.
I'm pining for the moon.
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit
Around the fairest sun?
That bright, tight forever drum
Could not describe nightswimming.

You, I thought I knew you.
You I cannot judge.
You, I thought you knew me,
This one laughing quietly underneath my breath.
Nightswimming.

The photograph reflects,
Every streetlight a reminder.
Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night.
