Haunted Home - David Fonseca

Esta música já aqui passou... mas eu gosto tanto, tanto dela...e de voltar a ela...
É para mim, uma das músicas mais bonitas e mais intensas do David Fonseca, quer pela sonoridade, quer pela letra... afinal, em algum momento da nossa vida, já fomos casas assombradas...

Ouçam, leiam e depois digam-me se tenho ou não razão...

P.S. - Dei conta agora que esta foi a primeira música deste blog...já lá vão mais de 3 anos...



You want to drink my soul
'Till your heart is full
What happens when it's full and it splashes?
You've built all these rooftops
And painted them all in blue
If all this set just burns up will you paint the ashes?

Do you really want to see?
Because I'll let you in
With me

You shiver when the wind blows
Through doors that lost their keys
There's too little to rescue, too little to hang on to
I thought that maybe we could try to
Clear and rebuild this haunted home
I'll be glad to help you just tell me what to do

Why don't you tell me what to do?
Maybe you're scared too
I've been here before
Next thing you'll see
You'll feel
So small

I will disappoint you
And I don't care if I do
I belong to those who got shattered, battered
Bruises and scars that I've hidden and you could never heal
This grey house where I come from
Some great love will tear it down
If you no longer love me why should it matter?

Tell me why should it matter?
I can't ask you to stay
I can't find the words to say
Why don't you just leave?

Just leave

The Hurts - Wonderful Iife

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Passou por mim e sorriu - Deolinda

Gosto...muito... :)



Ele passou por mim e sorriu,
e a chuva parou de cair,
o meu bairro feio tornou-se perfeito,
e o monte de entulho, um jardim.

O charco inquinado voltou a ser lago,
e o peixe ao contrário virou.
Do esgoto empestado saiu perfumado
um rio de nenúfares em flor.

Sou a mariposa bela e airosa,
que pinta o mundo de cor de rosa,
eu sou um delírio do amor.

Sei que a chuva é grossa, que entope a fossa,
que o amor é curto e deixa mossa,
mas quero voar, por favor!

No metro, enlatados, corpos apertados
suspiram ao ver-me entrar.
Sem pressas que há tempo,
dá gosto o momento,
e tudo mais pode esperar.

O puto do cão com seu acordeão,
põe toda a gente a dançar,
e baila o ladrão,
com o polícia p'la mão,
esvoaçam confetis no ar.

Sou a mariposa bela e airosa,
que pinta o mundo de cor de rosa,
eu sou um delírio do amor.

Sei que a chuva é grossa, que entope a fossa,
que o amor é curto e deixa mossa,
mas quero voar, por favor!

Há portas abertas e ruas cobertas
de enfeites de festas sem fim,
e por todo o lado, ouvido e dançado,
o fado é cantado a rir.

E aqueles que vejo, que abraço e que beijo,
falam já meio a sonhar,
se o mundo deu nisto e bastou um sorriso,
o que será se ele me falar.

Sou a mariposa bela e airosa,
que pinta o mundo de cor de rosa,
eu sou um delírio do amor.

Sei que a chuva é grossa, que entope a fossa,
que o amor é curto e deixa mossa,
mas quero voar, por favor!

Sou a mariposa bela e airosa,
que pinta o mundo de cor de rosa,
eu sou um delírio do amor.

Sei que a chuva é grossa, que entope a fossa,
que o amor é curto e deixa mossa,
mas quero voar, por favor!

Chávena de chá

"Um professor de filosofia foi ter com um mestre zen, Nan-In, e fez-lhe perguntas sobre Deus, o nirvana, meditação e muitas outras  coisas. O Mestre ouviu-o em silêncio e depois disse.
- Pareces cansado. Escalaste esta alta montanha, vieste de um lugar longínquo. Deixa-me primeiro servir-te uma chávena de chá.
O Mestre fez o chá. Fervilhando de perguntas, o professor esperou. Quando o Mestre serviu o chá encheu a chávena do seu visitante e continuou a enchê-la. A chávena transbordou e o chá começou a cair do pires até que o seu vistante gritou:
- Pára. Não vês que o pires está cheio?
- É exactamente assim que te encontras. A tua mente está tão cheia de perguntas que mesmo que eu responda não tens nenhum espaço para a resposta. Sai, esvazia a chávena e depois volta."

Espaço Impossível - Tiago Bettencourt & Mantha

Esta letra cabe tão bem...a tantos de nós...



se este ferro queres quebrar,
se esta pedra queres sentir,
se este vento queres ter paz,
mas se encontras queres fugir.
se tens vida queres mudar, mas se mudas não te vês.
quem procura encontrar, quem encontra para esquecer.

como a noite amanhece, qualquer santo enlouquece.
quando acordas queres amar, e que o mundo faz-te frio,
como água quer ser mar a chuva quer ser rio.
se és semente queres crescer, mas sem água vais secar,
vais ser tu a ir buscar o que o mundo não te der.

como a noite amanhece, qualquer santo enlouquece.
queres o espaço impossível, queres arder o que apagou,
queres a escolha que passou.
mas tudo é o que tem que ser, tudo flui ou te faz crescer.
levo para o mar, tudo é o que tem que ser, tudo é o que tem que ser.
quando dói não vais gostar, mas não sais sem repetir.
quando voltas dói-te mais, mas não sabes resistir.

porque pomba quer ser águia, e a águia um falcão.
como um mar quer tempestade, e a tempestade furacão.
vais prender-te ao precepício, porque o perigo é um vício.

queres o espaço impossível, queres arder o que apagou,
queres a escolha que passou.
mas tudo é o que tem que ser, tudo flui ou te faz crescer.
levo para o mar, tudo é o que tem que ser,
tudo é o que tem que ser. tudo tem que ser,
tudo tem que ser. tudo é o que tem de ser,
tudo é o que tem de ser.

levo para o mar...

Another Day - Pomplamoose

São ou não são castiços?



Another day
Shows its face
I'm half awake
Half in space
And if you told me I was beautiful
Well that would just be in poor taste

Another hour
Flying by
I've yet to shower
Yet to dry
And if you told me I was wonderful
I probably would wonder why

I am yours
You are mine
I am yours
You are mine
So it's alright

Another plate
In the sink
We're half the same
Half distinct
And if you told me I was perfect
I'd assume you'd had too much too drink

I am yours
You are mine
I am yours
You are mine
So it's alright
Another day
Fades away
We're half awake
Half in space
And if you told me we were dreaming
I would pinch you to prove we're awake

And if you told me we were dreaming
I would pinch you to prove we're awake

If you told me we were dreaming
I would pinch you to prove we're awake
If you told me we were dreaming
I would pinch you to prove we're awake

The weight of the world - The Editors




Keep a light on those you love
They will be there when you die
Baby there's no need to fear
Baby there's no need to cry

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?

You fused my broken bones
Back together again
Lift the weight of the world
From my shoulders again

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece in your life
Will it mean something to someone?
Every little piece of your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone~

You touch my face
God whispers in my ears
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces
You touch my face
God whispers in my ear
There are tears in my eyes
Love replaces fear

Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone
Every little piece in your life
Will add up to one
Every little piece of your life
Will mean something to someone

On the floor - Brandon Flowers



When the lights go down in the city
Getting real low
Settling in my room, i'm unnoticed
When the still comes in through the window
Letting me go
I feel a calm, come over me, on the floor

On the floor

Where the rats all come away clean
They're on the floor
Where the children all stomped and screamed
Straight out the door
Well i find my self on my knees
Begging please
When the lights go down in the city
And everyone goes to their room
Walking the trail
To dreamland
When the lights go down in the city
Something is roaring
I find myself
Waiting to believe

On the floor

Where the mice call shots
In the corner that's where i'll be
When the crickets come home and sing their symphony
Well i find myself on my knees

Begging please

On the floor
Facing the things i've done
Here on the floor
Where the years have gathered and run
That's where i'll be
And i find myself on my knees

Begging please

Misread - Kings of Convenience



If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know

It happened again
How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

Alma Gémea

"...As pessoas pensam que uma alma gémea é o par perfeito e é isso que toda a gente quer. Mas uma verdadeira alma gémea é um espelho, uma pessoa que mostra tudo aquilo que te retém, a pessoa que faz com que te centres em ti mesma para que possas mudar a tua vida. Uma verdadeira alma gémea é provavelmente a pessoa mais importante que alguma vez conhecerás porque deita abaixo as tuas defesas e desperta a tua consciência. Mas, viver com uma alma gémea para sempre? Não. É demasiado doloroso. As almas gémeas entram na nossa vida para nos revelarem uma outra camada de nós mesmos e depois vão-se embora. E graças a Deus que assim é. O teu problema é que não consegues esquecer esta. (...) O objectivo...era dar-te um abanão, ..., destroçar um pouco o teu ego, mostrar-te os teus obstáculos e vícios, abrir-te o coração para que pudesse entrar uma nova luz, deixar-te tão desesperada e descontrolada que tinhas de transformar a tua vida..."
in Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert

Corner - Allie Moss



When your world trembles and quakes
And your footing suddenly shifts and shakes

Take my hand
We'll hide in the corner, hide in the corner
Take my hand
We'll hide til it's over, til it's all over

We have choices to make
We have promises that we can't break
There is nothing left to lose
So hold on to me, I'll hold on to you

La la la la la...

A mais bonita - Bebel Gilberto



Não solidão,
Hoje não quero me retocar
Nesse salão de tristeza
Onde as outras penteiam mágoas.
Deixo que as águas invadam meu rosto,
Gosto de me ver chorar.
Finjo que estão me vendo
Eu preciso me mostrar...
Bonita,
Pra que os olhos do meu bem
Não olhem mais ninguém
Quando eu me revelar
Da forma mais bonita
Pra saber como levar
Todos os desejos que ele tem
Ao me ver passar
Bonita...
Hoje eu arrasei na casa de espelhos,
E espalho os meus rostos
E finjo que finjo que finjo
Que não sei.

We used to wait - Arcade Fire



I used to write,
I used to write letters I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing lights settled deep in my brain

But by the time we met
By the time we met the times had already changed

So I never wrote a letter
I never took my true heart I never wrote it down
So when the lights cut out
I was left standing in the wilderness downtown

Now our lives are changing fast
Now our lives are changing fast
Hope that something pure can last
Hope that something pure can last

It seems strange
How we used to wait for letters to arrive
But what's stranger still
Is how something so small can keep you alive

We used to wait
We used to waste hours just walking around
We used to wait
All those wasted lives in the wilderness downtown

oooo we used to wait
oooo we used to wait
oooo we used to wait
Sometimes it never came
(oooo we used to wait)
Sometimes it never came
(oooo we used to wait)
Still moving through the pain
(oooooo)

Start of my heart - Joan as Police Woman



You changed me
You chained and taught me
The damage I’ve done
Can show me the way to my heart
Sing out my love
’cause I’ve been her before and silence don't get you a thing
I learned this on the way to my heart
It was with you riving ton deep September
We took the long way and your hand and lead me home
Like a ray you woke my heart
With your northern lights with your soul
Yes you saved me
Origami doll i wonder if you'll do it again
Please do it again
I'll thank you from the deep of my heart
I thank you for the start of my heart

Heavy in your arms - Florence and the Machine



I was a heavy heart to carry, my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck, my fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry, my feet dragged across ground
And he took me to the river where he slowly let me drown

My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles over the waterfall

I'm so heavy, heavy heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy, heavy in your arms

And is it worth the wait all this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand protecting both your heart and mine?
Who is the betrayer?
Who's the killer in the crowd?

The one who creeps in corridors and doesn't make a sound
My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles over the waterfall (2x)

I'm so heavy, heavy heavy in your arms
I'm so heavy, heavy, so heavy in your arms

This will be my last confession I love you never felt like any blessing
(Ohhhh)
Whispering like it's a secret in order to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart

Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms (i'm so)
Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms (i'm so)
Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms (i'm so)
Heavy heavy i'm so heavy in your arms

I was a heavy heart to carry, my beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck, my fingers laced to crown
I was a heavy heart to carry, but he never let me down
When he had me in his arms, my feet never touched the ground

I'm so heavy, heavy in your arms.
Heavy, i'm so heavy in your arms.

You & Me - Dave Matthews Band



Want to pack your bags something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone
Moon and the stars will follow the car
Then we get to the ocean
Gonna take a boat to the end of the world

When the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and I are not tied to the ground

Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
With eyes closed we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky we're gonna ride the blue
All the way to the end of the world

When the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
You can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes

Its so small
Till we reach the end of the world

Anyone's ghost - The National



Say you stay at home
alone with the flu
find out from friends
that wasn't true
go out at night with your headphones on, again
and walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead

didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
but I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

you said I came close
as anyone's come
to live underwater
for more than a month
you said it was not inside my heart, it was
you said it should tear a kid apart, it does

didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
but I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry

didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost
didn't want to be your ghost
didn't want to be anyone's ghost

Hunt - Goldfrapp



It's your head it's your heart
Lost somewhere missing parts
Wedding bells second time
One more tale one more crime

Tell us nothing tell us lies
Revelations no surprise
Tonight they hunt for you
Tell us nothing tell us lies
Only passion that you have
Tonight they hunt for you

Every night every day
Making plans for your escape
All you love you destroy
Everyone is your toy

Tell us nothing tell us lies
Revelations no surprise
Tonight they hunt for you
Tell us nothing tell us lies
Only passion that you have
Tonight they hunt for you

You tell nothing too late
Lies, you tell lies

WinterSun - Brendan Perry



Can't stop the hurt
Can't stop the bleeding
I am invisible

Can't stop the thought
Nor the feeling
I don't exist at all

But when you call my name
Do you feel the same way
That we're trapped in time
We're both living a lie

I live in a tower
Of my own creation
I'm indivisible
From the thoughts that make up
All my memories...
Transcendental

But when you call my name
Do you feel the same way
That we're trapped in time
We're both living a lie

Many days have come and gone
Since the day I was born
Now the autumn of life has finally come
With the promise of winter thorns

No one´s gonna love you - Band of Horses

Um dia destes tenho uma overdose de música nova! :D



It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile

It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do

No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone,
They could have warned you

When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.

Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way

But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone

They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard

Why try to change me now - Fiona Apple



I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now?

I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?

Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by

So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
Why try to change me now?

Dirty Laundry - Bitter:Sweet

E não é que esta novidade é mesmo boa?



I've got a bad boy and that's alright with me
His dirty laundry is nothing that I can't keep clean
And when he needs an alibi
He can use me all night

(Oooh) What's the fun in playing it safe?
(Oooh) I think I'd rather misbehave
Your way

I'm just a bad girl, that's why we get along
Won't make excuses for anything I'm doing wrong
I'll pull the trigger in a flash
Watch out honey, step back

(Oooh) What's the use in playing it safe?
(Oooh) Wouldn't you rather misbehave?
My way

Oh baby show me the money my evil friend
Let's go to Mexico, drink margaritas in sin
I'll light a candle for good luck
Now come on baby let's...

(Oooh) What's the fun in playing it safe?
(Oooh) I think I'd rather misbehave
Our way

We're simply mad
Simply mad

Cologne - Ben Folds

E pronto...só porque me fizeram ir buscar isto ao baú. :)



Here in Cologne
I know I said it wrong
I walked you to the train
And back across alone
To my hotel room
And ordered me some food
And now I'm wondering why the floor has suddenly become a moving target

Four, three, two, one,
I'm letting you go
I will let go
If you will let go

(Four, three, two)

Says here an astronaut
Put on a pair of diapers
Drove eighteen hours
To kill her boyfriend
And in my hotel room, I'm wondering
If you read that story too?
And if we both might
Be having the same imaginary conversation

Four, three, two, one,
I'm letting you go
I will let go
If you will let go

(Four, three, two)

(Ohhhhh-aah)
Weightless as I close my eyes
(Ohhhhh-aah)
The ceiling opens in disguise

Such a painful trip
To find out this is it
And when I go to sleep
You'll be waking up

Four, three, two, one,
I'm letting you go
I will let go
If you will let go

All sparks - Editors

You're answering questions that have not yet been asked
All sparks will burn out in the end
You burn like you're bouncing cigarettes on the road
All sparks will burn out in the end
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out in the end
You're casting opinions at people who need them
All sparks will burn out in the end
Well be careful angel, this life is just too hard
All sparks will burn out in the end
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out in the end
You burn like you're bouncing cigarettes
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out
All sparks will burn out

All sparks will burn out in the end.

How will I know - Cousteau



You could be anywhere
A passerby might
Capture my eye unaware

You could be anyone
But how will i know
When my time has come?

'cos in the middle of the day
Or in the middle of the night
How will i know if it's you?
How will i know it's right?

And if it all comes down to me
To go walking up to you
There's one million little things
That i'm more likely to do

I kinda know you're there
A lifetime's knowing
A life's undergoing unawares

You could be anyone
But how will i know
If my time has come?

Cadê você - Bebel Gilberto



Cadê? Cadê você?
Que eu só quero te ver, quero te ver
Com o quê? Com o quê?

Que eu vou te convencer, te convencer
Quem sabe alguém vai saber se envolver
E depois não vai ter mais ninguém pra se ter

Tchararathabada....
Tchararathabada....
Tchararathabada....

Por que? Por que que eu não posso saber?
Posso entender?

Não vem que não tem...
Que isso já foi meu bem, já foi meu bem!
Quem sabe você nunca quis nem saber
E assim não tem mais o porquê pra viver

Tchararathabada....
Tchararathabada....
Tchararathabada....

Mudança

Há um tempo em que é preciso abandonar as roupas usadas, que já tem a forma do nosso corpo, e esquecer os nossos caminhos, que nos levam sempre aos mesmos lugares. É o tempo da travessia: e, se não ousarmos fazê-la, teremos ficado, para sempre, à margem de nós mesmos.
— Fernando Pessoa

Ainda assim, as mudanças custam... E é impossível esquecer as pessoas que deixaram uma marca que nos irá acompanhar para sempre...nesta e noutras mudanças que se seguirão. Há laços que não se podem, nem se querem desfazer...

Alive - Goldfrapp



I woke up in the rising sun
I was blinded by the light
Jump up and pull on my jeans
It feels good they're a little tight
Step out in a crazy world
But then the sun resets your mind
Feel the weight of it all just drift
Off on a cloud to another time

Ooh-ooh-ooh hello hello
Ooh-ooh-ooh hello hello

I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

Like the way that you drive your car
I like the way that you turn the wheel
Can't stop thinking about you baby
You don't know you're the real deal
Here we are in a perfect night
The sky is clear and the moon is full
Looking out at the universe
I thank the stars and heavens for you

Ooh-ooh-ooh hello hello
Ooh-ooh-ooh hello hello

I'm feeling alive again
Alive again

I wanna get you tonight
and love
Ooh we're on and on

Saramago

... mas também é certo,se isso lhe serve de consolação, que se antes de cada acto nos puséssemos a prever todas as consequências dele, a pensar nelas a sério, primeiro as imediatas,depois as prováveis, depois as possíveis, depois as imagináveis, não chegaríamos sequer a mover-nos de onde o primeiro pensamento nos tivesse feito parar. Os bons e os maus resultados dos nossos ditos e obras vão-se distribuindo, supõe-se que de uma forma bastante uniforme e equilibrada, por todos os dias do futuro, incluindo aqueles, infindáveis, em que já cá não estaremos para poder comprová-lo, para congratular-nos ou pedir perdão, aliás, há quem diga que isso é que é a imortalidade de que tanto se fala, Será,..

Ninguém é quem queria ser - Manuel Cruz



somos a fachada
de uma coisa morta
e a vida como que a bater à nossa
porta
quando formos velhos
se um dia formos velhos
quem irá querer saber quem tinha razão
de olhos na falésia
espera pelo vento
ele dá-te a direcção

ninguém é quem queria ser
eu queria ser ninguém

a idade é oca e não pode ser motivo
estás a ver o mundo feito um velho
arquivo
eu caminho e canto pela estrada fora
e o que era mentira pode ser verdade
agora
se o cifrão sustenta a química da vida
porque tens ainda medo de morrer
faltará dinheiro
faltará cultura
faltará procura dentro do teu ser

ninguém é quem queria ser
eu queria ser ninguém

diz-me se ainda esperas encontrar o
sentido
mesmo sendo avesso a vê-lo em ti
vestido
não tens de olhar sem gosto
nem de gostar sem ver

ninguém é quem queria ser
ninguém é quem queria ser
eu queria ser ninguém

Magic Doors - Portishead




I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny, I can't be someone else

When I have tried to find the words
To describe this sense absurd
Try to resist my thoughts
But I can't lie
Losing myself
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for

I can't divide or hide from me
I don't know who I'm meant to be
I guess it's just the person that I am

Often I've dreamt that I don't wait
Enjoy the gift of my mistake
Like then again I'm wrong and I confess

Losing my self
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for

Slow Show - The National



Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years

You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years

Andrea Doria - Legião Urbana

Sempre a descobrir...o meu mp3 tem destas coisas...



Às vezes parecia
Que de tanto acreditar
Em tudo que achávamos
Tão certo...

Teríamos o mundo inteiro
E até um pouco mais
Faríamos floresta do deserto
E diamantes de pedaços
De vidro...

Mas percebo agora
Que o teu sorriso
Vem diferente
Quase parecendo te ferir...

Não queria te ver assim
Quero a tua força
Como era antes
O que tens é só teu
E de nada vale fugir
E não sentir mais nada...

Às vezes parecia
Que era só improvisar
E o mundo então seria
Um livro aberto...

Até chegar o dia
Em que tentamos ter demais
Vendendo fácil
O que não tinha preço...

Eu sei é tudo sem sentido
Quero ter alguém
Com quem conversar
Alguém que depois
Não use o que eu disse
Contra mim...

Nada mais vai me ferir
É que eu já me acostumei
Com a estrada errada
Que eu segui
E com a minha própria lei...

Tenho o que ficou
E tenho sorte até demais
Como sei que tens também...

One Love - David Guetta feat. Estelle

Uma coisa diferente...para variar! ;)

Misread - Kings of Convenience



If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

Love will tear us apart - Susanna and the magical orchestra (cover)



When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
And there's taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more

But love, love wil tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Dominoid - Moloko

Esta vem directamente do baú...



I can't control this urge so I risk what I wager,
I lost to a chicken shit never was panty sniffer,
Got my eye on a cool hand and I wonder about his dog of a day,
Wanted to be a big shot real hot down with the domino,
You know calling on instict calling the bluff,
Telling a tale ten stories high to the operative,
I figured the numbers underpressure I played by the seat of my
pants,
Then fate took a twist quietly wiley faking it waiting for a
fluke,
Waiting for a sign by now boggle eyed,
If I believe I will receive leaning on the ever lasting tree,
Hanging in the hands of fate down with the domino,
I'm no, down with the domino, I'm no casino casanova with the
good luck eyes,
it's hard to tell who's friend or foe when you go down like the
domino,
One track mind just digging 'till I find,
The gold at the end of the rainbow just keep on going,
Though twisted up inside her fool heart takes over and jumps on
for the ride,
Down with the domino,
I need the roulette to make me forget,
Rotating random eyes roll in tandem,
Lady look illusive but I do what I can better be a day as a
lion,
Than a life time as a lamb down with the domino, down, you know.

This Raging Light - David Fonseca



I roll away just like a stone
Falling around wherever I'm thrown
I got lost, got sidetracked
I played dead and I couldn't go back
You asked me how does it feels
Everything hurts, everything's too real
I tried to be part of the scheme
But I can't understand, what does it really mean?

And with pride you point blame
But you never felt love, like you never felt pain
You give me that sad smile
And I want to drown it, want it gone for a while

I roll away, away from it all
I follow the lights, I follow the call
I fall down into the sound of the music

Tonight I feel it closer
And i can almost touch it
To you this may be nothing, It's something to me
This raging light

"You're on your own" said the voice on the phone
In between all the static and the robotic tone
Strong headlights were pointing to my eyes
Behind a killer car, inside a killer heart
"You be strong" said the voice on the phone
In between all the lies and the robotic tone
I fall down and into the sound
Where the music goes

Tonight I feel it closer
And I can almost touch it
To you this may be nothing, It's something to me
This raging light
To you this may be nothing, It's something to me
This raging light

I roll away just like a stone
Falling around wherever I'm thrown
And with pride you point me the blame
Like you never felt love, like you never felt pain
I played me but you played a part
And you lost the script, you just found it too hard
I fall down into the sound of the music
This music

Japan - CocoRosie



Life is like a rollercoaster
It does flips and throws you over
Board your ship thats going nowhere
If you stop, youll end up somewhere

Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody, just hold hands

Everybody wants to go to californ-i-a
To live their life on a sunny day
Dreaming of someone elses kids and wife
But they'll be bringing you the same old strife

Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody, just hold hands.

Everybody wants to go to jamaica
Queens in drag will surely fake you
Take you home, and then they'll rape you
But you like it, so say 'thank you'

Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody, just hold hands.

Everybody wants to go to iraq
But once they go, they don't come back
Bringing peanut butter jelly and other snacks
We might have our freedom, but we're still on crack.

Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody wants to go to japan
Everybody just hold hands.

Rabbit Heart - Florence and the machine



The looking glass so shiny and new
How quickly the glamor fades
I start spinning slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take (Raise it up)
You made a deal and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough (Raise it up, raise it up)
It's not enough (Raise it up, raise it up)

Here I am a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I´ve made the final sacrifice
We raise it up this offering

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight

I look around but I can´t find you (raise it up)
If only I could see your face (raise it up)
Instead of rushing towards the skyline (raise it up)
I wish that I could just be brave

I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
We raise it up this offering

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight

Raise it up, raise it up

And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight

(repeat)

This is a gift

Undisclosed Desires - Muse




I know you suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied

Soothe me
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcize the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers that you're wicked and devine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcize the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcize the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Mal por mal - Deolinda



Já sou quem tu queres que eu seja,
Tenho emprego e uma vida normal.
Mas quando acordo e não sei
Quem eu sou, quem me tornei
Eu começo a bater mal.
O teu bem faz-me tão mal!

Já me enquadro na tua estrutura.
Não ofendo a tua moral.
Mas quando me impões o meu bem
Eu ainda sinto aquém.
O teu bem faz-me tão mal,
O teu bem faz-me tão mal!

Sei que esperas que não desiluda,
Que por bem siga o teu ideal.
Mas não quero seguir ninguém
Por mais que me queiras bem.
O teu bem faz-me tão mal,
O teu bem faz-me tão mal!

Sei que me vais virar do avesso
Se eu te disser foi em mim que apostei.
Não, não é nada que me rale
Mesmo que me faças mal.
Do avesso eu te direi:
O teu mal faz-me tão bem!

Caminhos à vista

Caminhos à vista, nem sinal deles, desde aqui se poderia chegar a todo lado ou a lado nenhum, como destinos que se renovassem ou algum outro que tivesse decidido esperar melhor ocasião para manifestar-se.

Black - Pearl Jam



Hey, oh

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the Sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Oh, and all I taught her was everything
Oh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything

I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the Sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?

All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I will be, yeah

Uh huh, uh huh, oh

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine

Rocket - Goldfrapp

Sempre a surpreender!



Starting something
Thought it could be fun
Started something couldn't go on
Danger
Heart ache
I always knew
Theres no way to escape the news
But i still want to know
How she got in the door
Uninvited

Chorus:
Oooh
I got a rocket
Ooh
You're going on it
You're never coming back

Teaches secrets
Stories unfold
Fooled by pleasure
Losing control
Danger heartache
Something must die
No good returning
Leaving this time
But i still wanna know
How she got in the door
Uninvited

Chorus:
Ooooh i got a rocket
You're going on it
You're never coming back

Your never coming back back again no no
You going out on your own?
Five four three two one
We have lift off

Tu não tens de mudar - Foge foge bandido



se tens de ouvir tens de o fazer
e o mundo diz tu tens de mudar
só não lavou as tuas mãos
mas tens as mãos do mundo para lavar
afasta-te um pouco mais
e dorme em paz que tu não tens
de dar o teu sorriso assim
esgotando o teu juízo assim
tu não tens de mudar

quem te quer mudar
não te quer conhecer
tu não tens de o fazer

eu não tenho nada meu
pois tudo o que era bom
foi na corrente do ter
e agora dei-me um dia
para ser feliz
para ver que eu nunca vou ter
o mundo na minha mão
não tenhas pena de mim agora
meus dias já não são de ouro
dantes sim, existia um problema
agora todos nós somos actores de cinema
e escondemo-nos bem
dos olhos que o mundo tem
e toda a gente nos vê
só não nos ouve ninguém

tu não tens de ver
tu não tens sequer de amar
tu só vais achar que vês
quando ao sabor da tua lei
o amor fizer de ti seu rei
para sempre

Haunted Home - David Fonseca



You want to drink my soul
'Till your heart is full
What happens when it's full and it splashes?
You've built all these rooftops
And painted them all in blue
If all this set just burns up will you paint the ashes?

Do you really want to see?
Because I'll let you in
With me

You shiver when the wind blows
Through doors that lost their keys
There's too little to rescue, too little to hang on to
I thought that maybe we could try to
Clear and rebuild this haunted home
I'll be glad to help you just tell me what to do

Why don't you tell me what to do?
Maybe you're scared too
I've been here before
Next thing you'll see
You'll feel
So small

I will disappoint you
And I don't care if I do
I belong to those who got shattered, battered
Bruises and scars that I've hidden and you could never heal
This grey house where I come from
Some great love will tear it down
If you no longer love me why should it matter?

Tell me why should it matter?
I can't ask you to stay
I can't find the words to say
Why don't you just leave?

Just leave

Wheels - Foo Fighters

Mais uma música que me começou a perseguir...ora na rádio, ora na TV... mesmo quando mudo de estação de rádio para lhe fugir, eis que está a dar na outra estação...
E como não há coincidências, decidi dedicar-lhe um post no blog...




I know what you're thinkin'
We were goin' down
I could feel us sinkin'
But then I came around

And everyone I've loved before
Flashed before my eyes
And nothin' mattered anymore
I looked into the sky

Well I wanted something better man
I wished for something new
And I wanted something beautiful
I wished for something true
Been lookin' for a reason man
Something to lose

When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over
There's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)

I know your head is spinnin'
Broken hearts will mend
This is our beginning
Comin to an end

Well, you wanted something better man
You wished for something new
Well, you wanted something beautiful
Wished for something true
Been lookin for a reason man
Something to lose

When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over

There's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
Oh!

When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over
There's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)

When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over
There's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)

Once I Was - Tim Buckley

Sim...é mesmo o pai do Jeff Buckley...




Once I was a soldier
And I fought on foreign sands for you
Once I was a hunter
And I brought home fresh meat for you
Once I was a lover
And I searched behind your eyes for you
Soon there'll be another
To tell you I was just a lie
And sometimes I wonder
Just for a while

Will you remember me?
And though you have forgotten
All of our rubbish dreams
I find myself searching
Through the ashes of our ruins
All the days when we smiled
And the hours I ran wild
With the magic of our eyes
And the silence of our words

Sometimes I wonder
Just for a while
Will you ever remember me?
Ever remember me?

Seven Day Mile - The Frames

Temporada 6 - House...
:)



Your will changes everyday
It's a choice you gotta make
I can't help you if I want to

Down here nothing gets a chance
It's a threat that's real enough
We can burn this bridge or stay here

It's a breeze everlasting like time
Making so sure that
I can return just to see it from your side again

Always never seems to work
It's a word you never learned

I don't really see a way clear
It's a sea ever churning in tides
In the sureness of time

That our words will repeat now forever again
Well this might take a while to figure out now
So don't you rush it
And hold your head up high right through the doubt now
'Cause it's just a matter of time

You've been running so fast
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and running away

I don't have a choice in this
It's a road I've come upon
You can join us if you want to

Always never seems to work
It's a word we never learned
Time will be the judge of all here

This might take a while to figure out now
So don't you rush it
And hold you're head up high right through the doubt now
'Cause its just a matter of time

You've been running so fast
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and running away

It's line you've been wanting, it's your time
It's the seven day mile
Has you torn in-between here and never again
Never again

Where are you going - Dave Matthews Band



Where are you going with the long face pulling down?
Don't hide away like an ocean
But you can't see, but you can smell and the sound of wavescrash down

I am no superman, I have no reasons for you
I am no hero, that's for sure, but I do know one thing
Where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go is where I wanna be
Where are you going?
Where do you go?

Are you looking for answers, to questions under the stars?
If along the way you are growing weary
You can rest with me until a brighter day, you´re okay

I am no superman, and I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that´s for sure, but I do know one thing
Where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go I do know, is where I wanna be
Where are you going?

Where do you go?
Where are you going?
Where do you go?

I am no superman, and I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that´s for sure, but I do know one thing
Where you are is where I belong
I do know where you go I do know, is where I wanna be
Where are you going?

Where do you go?
Where do you go?

Landed - Ben Folds

Há uns anos atrás ouvi pela primeira vez Ben Folds. Se não estou em erro, uma sugestão do Nuno Markl.

É o que eu considero uma música sem complicações: boas melodias, boas letras...uma boa companhia para um dia de chuva como hoje... :)
Fica aqui a sugestão.



We'd hit the bottom,
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
What it was all about

Moved to the west coast away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love

Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
I've been flying high all night

So come pick me up...I've landed
The daily dramas she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
Until I believed I was the crazy one,
and in a way
I guess I was...

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye I tried
Treading a sea of a troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye-bye, goodbye I tried

If you wrote me off I'd understand it
Because I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up...
I've landed

And you will be so
happy to know
I've come alone,
it's over

But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's by my goodbye I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's OK to call
Now I'll answer for myself

Come pick me up,
...I've landed

All is full of love - Björk

A Björk não está no meu top de artistas favoritos.
Mas a irreverência, a diferença, a voz inconfundível...são de facto, marcantes.
Para não falar no dom de "fazer" músicas como esta.




you'll be given love
you'll be taken care of
you'll be given love
you have to trust it

maybe not from the sources
you have poured yours
maybe not from the directions
you are staring at

trust your head around
it's all around you
all is full of love
all around you

all is full of love
you just aint receiving
all is full of love
your phone is off the hook

all is full of love
your doors are all shut

all is full of love!
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
all is full of love
...

Eterna Busca - Seu Jorge



Minha aventura é a Sagatiba, minha aventura é a Sagatiba
Saga quer dizer em busca
Tiba quer dizer eterno
Sagatiba eterna busca do valor mais puro
Da pureza dos olhos de quando se ama... alguém
Do calor, da beleza, do sonho puro
Da delicadeza, do lábio que beija, da leveza das mãos que te fazem carinho
Do atleta que veste, que sua a camisa
De uma mão que segura, outra mão que precisa
De uma vela que acende pra reza da noite
De uma gentileza bonita que se faz aqui e ali
Nessa vida pro bem
Nessa vida pro bem

Fool's Gold - Lhasa de Sela

A minha humilde homenagem a esta senhora que no início do ano, partiu...



You told me that you'd stay with me
And shelter me forever
That was a hard promise to keep
I can't blame you for the bad weather

After all that has been said and done
I won't ask you where you're going
Don't keep in touch, I don't miss you much
Except sometimes early in the morning

Now use your silver tongue once more
There's one thing that I'd like to know
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me?

I forgive you wanting to be free
I realize you long to wander
And I sympathize with your roving eyes
I just can't forgive your bad manners

Now use your silver tongue once more
There's one thing that I'd like to know
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me?
Did you ever believe the lies that you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave me?
