I don't want to....

"When it's black

Take a little time to hold yourself

Take a little time to feel around before it's gone

You won't let go but you still keep on falling down

Remember how you save me now from all of my wrongs

Yeah

If there's love just feel it

And if there's life we'll see it

This is no time to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

Say those words

Say those words like there's nothing else

Close your eyes and you might believe

That there is some way out

Yeah

Open up

Open up your heart to me now

Let it all come pouring out

There's nothing I can't take

And if there's love just feel it

And if there's life we'll see it

This is no time to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

If your sky is falling

Just take my hand and hold it

You don't have to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

And if you feel the fading of the light

And you're too weak to carry on the fight

And all your friends that you count on have disappeared

I'll be here not gone, forever holding on

If there's love just feel it

And if there's life we'll see it

This is no time to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

If your sky is falling

Just take my hand and hold it

You don't have to be alone, alone yeah

I won't let you go

(Won't let you go)

(Won't let you go)

I won't let you go

I won't let

I won't let you go

No, I won't let

I won't let you go

I won't let you go"

Back on track?

Tenho a ligeira sensação de que vamos voltar :) Anda por aí muito boa letra a precisar de ser dissecada. Beware because she's about to return to a slightly mad state of mind....

Sexy - Undisclosed desires

Já tinha ouvido esta música várias vezes, já achava que tinha um ritmo sexy, mas ainda não tinha atentado na letra. E é mesmo isto. A junção perfeita de uma melodia sexy e de uma letra profunda...It never seemed so right, it never felt so true...and it will get you...

"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 is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine
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 is not just a mask
I want to exorcise 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 is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart"

Hoje trauteei mentalmente esta

Não sou propriamente fã da Nelly, mas esta música tem uma letra que me faz pensar... Ashes to ashes/Dust to dust (sem ser no sentido bíblico da coisa), mas começo a pensar que todos os ciclos bons eventualmente acabam... E depois vem um ciclo menos bom e depois um melhor, ou não necessariamente, mas começo a pensar que andamos todos às voltas e não chegamos a lugar nenhum. Se calhar é esse o objectivo, não chegar nem sair, apenas ficar como se está, Asche zu asche und Staub zu Staub ;)

Honestly what will become of me

don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?


Travelling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
so that they could die.

Nelly Furtado

Heroes and Saints

Passa na rádio a toda a hora... É um tema daqueles que se não existisse numa novela, provavelmente seria difícil de encontrar. Parece tão perfeito, o conjunto da melodia, do poema e da voz de quem o canta. Faz-nos pensar que eventually everything will be allright even when it does not appear to be so. Sossega e acalma o tornado que nos envolve e revolve e revolta...

Turn the lights down
Rest your case
Leave me lonely, sugar
This honeymoon is alright
State your rights lightly
Leave your wicked minds outside
Time has come, to rest these tired eyes
Forever on, these sacred given vows will sit around by me
They're stronger than anything, than anything

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints, better stand by our side now
By our side

Reason says -
Please don't break,
Fortune is the way it swings
Surely we'll get by.
Treason lives, and whenever I preach
Deep within, these promises fade.
For lullaby song on these nights of ours
Place our bets in here
To be stronger than anything
Than anything

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints, better stand by our side now

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints stand by our side now

Night is allright
Night is okay
Inside your arms the right fire
God forbid, we'll get ourselves burned!
Heroes and saints stand by our side now
On these lonely nights of ours

Faith no more

Continua a retrospectiva (algo atrasada, diga-se de passagem) dos concertos de 2009.

Nunca fui a chamada, como eu costumo dizer, fanzoca de Faith No More. No entanto, quando vi que eles vinham a Portugal ao Sudoeste, pensei: "Bolas nunca vi estes tipos a tocar. Devia de ir". E foi até quase à última hora que estive no impasse (para não variar, que a minha vida é feita de impasses e de receios de certas tomadas de decisão) até que finalmente me decidi a ir. Resultado até dois dias antes era para ir sozinha, à aventura. Pensei, que se lixe, nunca vou a lugar algum, desta vez vou e vou mesmo. E não é que fui? LOL. Acabei por ter uma excelente companhia e diverti-me imenso. Especialmente porque adorei o humor negro do Mike Patton e porque achei que a performance dos senhores foi boa :). No entanto e como não poderia deixar de ser, tenho a minha crítica a fazer. E essa reside no facto de terem cantado o "Evidence" em pseudo-português. Chamo-lhe pseudo porque não era português de Portugal nem português do Brasil (chamado de vulgo brasileiro).

Teria sido muito melhor e mais interessante se tivesse sido esta a letra:

"If you want to open the hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away (evidence)
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify:
I didn't feel a thing
Anything you say, we know you're guilty
Hands above your head, you won't even feel me
You won't feel me (evidence)"

(And we all should be able not to feel a thing instead of feeling so much.)

No entanto não posso de deixar de dizer que o ponto alto do concerto para mim foi quando tocaram a minha favorita:

"Can you feel it ,see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet
You want it all but you can't have it
It's cryin', bleedin', lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magit, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened and it's a shame
You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?... "

I am back

Mas que blogger desnaturada em que me tornei... mais de 3 meses sem postar... O tempo voou e nem assinalei o aniversário aqui deste meu cantinho. Shame on me....Nem parece meu deixar um aniversário por passar... Se bem que não é meu costume esquecer-me do aniversário de ninguém, desde o verão que não tenho dado muita importância aos aniversários. Será um presságio de mudança, ou apenas mais uma fase? O tempo o dirá...
Pois o que se passou desde Agosto para cá? Muita coisa, muito trabalho, formação e traduções e alguns concertos. Nem sei por onde começar com tanta coisa que tenho para dizer e que provavelmente deixarei pela metade. Então vamos falar de concertos hehe! E depois das músicas. Cronologicamente e desde Agosto, pois que em Julho foi o Optimus Alive e foram 3 dias muito intensos e fatigantes. Com algumas desilusões pelo meio, nomeadamente, músicas que queria ouvir e as bandas não tocaram. Apesar de ter assistido a uma série de bons espectáculos, as expectativas eram muito elevadas e não foram todas preenchidas. Faltaram pelo menos duas músicas:

De Slipknot faltou esta:

"She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame,
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me.
I'd do anything to have her to myself,
Just to have her for myself.
Now I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad.
She is everything to me,
The unrequited dream,
The song that no one sings,
The unattainable.
She's a myth that I have to believe in,
All I need to make it real is one more reason.
I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.
But I won't let this build up inside of me.
I won't let this build up inside of me.
I won't let this build up inside of me.
I won't let this build up inside of me.
A catch in my throat, choke,
Torn into pieces, I won't.
No.I don't want to be this but
I won't let this build up inside of me (won't let this build up inside of me)
She isn't real.
I can't make her real.
She isn't real.
I can't make her real."

E de Dave Mathews Band faltou esta:

"Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
In this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes
Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'till we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop
I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on
It's crazy
I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is it real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you
I mean you crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on Lady
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
And here
I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain we've found
You know I mean to tell you all the things
I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment the more
I love you
Crush me
Come on
So much you have given love
That I would give you back again and again
Meaning I'll hold you
And please let me always"

No entanto, apesar da tiny little disappointment, foram concertos para mim grandiosos.
