Tu disseste - Mão Morta

"Quero saborear o infinito..."

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

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Linhas cruzadas - Virgem Suta

E a Manuela Azevedo faz aqui toda a diferença...

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
