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?
