Hard Times


Gosto muito desta música, pela sonoridade e também pelo vídeo... Adoro jogos de cores e movimento. Este vídeo retrata bem a simplicidade de muitos vídeos, mas com um certo toque de genialidade inerente...



Patrick Wolf - "Hard Times"

"As they
Dig your ditches
Count my stitches
Generation justice wishes for
World at war
Final score
Media come and abhor us

As these are hard times
We'll work harder, harder
Through these hard times
I'll work harder, harder

Divided nation,
In sedation
Overload of information, that
We have grown up to ignore
Mediocrity applauded

In these hard times
We'll work harder, harder
Through these hard times
I'll work harder, harder
for resolution
Show me some revolution
This battle will be won!

Forced to count the hours
Since two towers
Fell to fiction
Those higher powers
Putting gods to war
Who keeps score?
Ignorance is still adored

And through these hard times
We'll work harder, harder
Give me hard times,
I'll work harder, harder
For revolution
Hard time for some resolution
Time for some revolution
This battle will be won!

Harder, harder, harder, now!

If they only see you with their fear
And they only hear you with their pride
And they only see you with their fear
And they only hear you with their pride
And we'll work harder, harder, harder, harder,
Harder, harder, harder, harder,
Hard times!"

Fine day...


Apesar do mau tempo, apesar da inconstância emocional, apesar de ser apenas mais um dia igual a tantos outros, está nas minhas mãos fazer com que ele se torne especial nem que seja através de algo insignificante à primeira vista, mas com muito de genuíno e verdadeiro.
Acho que sou mesmo adepto de pormenores....


CocoRosie "Noah's Ark"

Thank you God for this fine day
And bless all the children all over the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
Oh bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals and took me away

Thank you God for this fine fine day
And bless all of the children of the world
And thank you for the plants and the animals
And bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all of his animals, He took me away
Oh Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals, and he took me away

Thank you God for this, oh, this fine day
Bless all of the children of the world
Thank you for the plants and the animals
And bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow

Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals and he took me away
Noah's ark came to my house one day
With all his animals and he took me away

Thank you for the plants and the animals
Bring me sweet dreams tonight
And help me be good tomorrow
And help me be good tomorrow
Bring me, bring me sweet dreams
And help me be good tomorrow

How can i forget?


Há músicas assim, que são tal e qual os nossos sentimentos e não há palavras que consigam transmitir aquilo que sentimos quando as ouvimos e o quanto nos fazem sentir especiais...

A música é uma cura da alma, das tristezas e alegrias inerentes ao nosso ser...

É bom sentirmo-nos vivos...




Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Tom The Model

"How can I forget your tender smile
Moments that I have shared with you
Our hearts may break
But they're on their way
And there's nothing I can do

Ohh...

So do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout me
I'd do it again

I can understand that it can't be
Guess it's hard as you were meant for me
But I can't hide my own despair
I guess I never will

Ohh...

So do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout me
I'd do it again

So tired of life
No fairytale
So hold your fire
'Cause I need you

Ohh...

Just do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You know you don't ever have to worry 'bout me
I'd do it again

Do what you're gotta do
And don't misunderstand me
You keep going over every word that we've said
But you don't have to worry
About me"

Into dust...

Quantas vezes sentimos que gostavamos de alterar o mundo?

Quantas vezes equacionamos a nossa vida e os nossos medos?

Quantas vezes idealizamos situações que não correspondem à realidade?

Quantas vezes nos desiludimos?

Vezes e vezes sem conta...Como se de um jogo viciado se tratasse...


Mazzy Star - Into Dust

"Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Inside me today
Around broken in two
Til your eyes share into dust
Like two strangers turning into dust
Til my hand shook with the weight of fear
I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate
It was you, breathless and torn
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
Into strangers, turning into dust
Turning into dust
Turning into dust"

Crush...


Este post é dedicado a todos os nossos actos incessantes por uma procura constante de algo desconhecido, mas por vezes mais clarividentes que seria de esperar...
É bom poder relembrar esta música incrível, que tem o dom de nos transportar para lugares únicos e muito nossos. Adoro a sonoridade e a mensagem. Muito bom!



Dave Matthews Band- "Crush"

"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 oh.
Sitting, smoking, feeling high.
And in this, moment, ah, it feels so right.

Lovely lady, I am at your feet, oh, God I want you so badly.
And I wonder this could tomorrow be so wondrous as you there sleeping.

Let's go, drive till, the morning comes.
And watch the, sunrise, and fill our souls up.
Well drink some, wine til, we get drunk, yes...

It's crazy, I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round.
I'm here I'm dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down, and is this real, or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady, let me drink you, please, I won't spill a, drop no, I promise you.
Lying under this spell you cast on me.
Each moment the more, I, love, you. crush me, come on. oh, yes.

It's crazy I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round.
I'm here I'm dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down?
Is this real, oh lord, or am I dreaming?

Lovely lady, I will treat you sweetly, adore you, I mean, you crush me.
Oh it's times like these when my faith I feel.
I know, how, I, love, you. come on, come on, baby.

It's crazy, I'm thinking just as long as you're around.
I'm here I'll be dancing on the ground.
Am I right side up or upside down?
To each other, well be facing.
My love, my love, well beat back the pain weve 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, baby.

So much you have, given love, that I would give you back again and again.
Oh, the love, many now hold you but please, please, just let me, always"

Buried Bones...






Tindersticks - "Buried Bones"

"I could take all the crazy out of you
That's what I loved you for
I could take away all the orange, greens and blues out of you
That's what I loved you for
Take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy?
Take a look at me
You think it really could be that easy for you?
I know about guys, I know where they live
And you're just the same
The ones that matter fight against themselves
But it's so hard to change
Hey, I could love you
Take all that love away from you
Hey, I could love you
Put you in this box I made for two
So you could take all this craziness out of me
Ask what you love me for
Well, I don't mean to laugh,
But if you know all this
You must be half-way there
Well, like that dress tonight, you won't know as it falls from you
Turn around and it's winter, darling
Look in the mirror and it won't be you
So you're an old, old dog
You've been around the block
So many times
And it's the same old turns
Same old feel straight down the line
Yeah, I can love you
Grab that leash and drag you to a place you'd never know
I know where my bones are buried
May take me a while, but I'd find my way home"

All mixed up...





Red House Painters - " All mixed up"

"She shadows me in the mirror
she never leaves on the light
and some things that i've said to her
they just dont seem to bite

it's all mixed up

she tricks me into thinking
that i cant believe my eyes
that i wait for her forever
but she never does arrive

it's all mixed up

she said leave it all to me,
everything will be allright
she said leave it all to me,
everything will be all right

she's always out making pictures
she's always out making scenes,
she's always out the window
when it comes to making dreams."

This is a song...





The Magic Numbers - "This is a Song"

"I don't wanna tell her
No don't want to tell her
I lie awake in the dark
Lost in the beat of my heart
Well baby look over your shoulder
You're not alone in this love

I don't wanna tell her
No don't want to tell her
That I've been thinking of you
Lost in the things that you do
Maybe its over
But over is not a word that you know

And if it hurts me baby you know why
I go it alone
Hurt me baby if you like
It's already gone

I don't wanna tell her
No don't want to tell her
I've been calling your name
Each time it feels its in vain
Maybe its over
But over is not a word that you know

I don't wanna tell her
No don't want to tell her
I've been falling apart
Broke every rule from the start
Baby look over your shoulder
You're not alone in this love

And if it hurts me baby you know why
I go it alone
Hurt me baby if you like
It's already gone

This is a song
And these are the words

I don't wanna hear it
Don't wanna hear it

This is a song
And these are the words

I don't wanna tell her
No don't want to tell her
I lie awake in the dark
Lost in the beat of my heart
Well baby look over your shoulder
You're not alone in this love"
