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.

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?... "
