What Else Is There?

"If I am the storm, if I am the wonder
Will I have flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions?"


Röyksopp - What Else Is There?

"It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And the flashlights and explosions

Road's end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm, and I am the wonder
And the flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for

I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there?
Road's end getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm, if I am the wonder
Will I have flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions?

I don't know what more to ask for
I was giving just one wish

Road's end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm and I am the wonder
And the flashlights, nightmares, sudden explosions

There is no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish"

The Libertine...

Great music...


Patrick Wolf - "The Libertine"

"The motorway won't take a horse.
The wanderer has found a course, to follow.
The traveller unpacked his bags, for the last time and,
The troubadour cut off his hand and now he wants mine,

(Oh, no )

Oh no, not me, Oh no.

The circus girl fell off her horse, now shes paralyzed.
The hitchhiker was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside.
The libertine is locked in jail.
The pirate sunk and broke his sail.

But I still have to go,
I've got to go, so here I go,
I'm gonna run the risk of being free, being free, being free,being free.

(huh)

The magicians secrets all revealed.
And the preachers lies are all concealed.
And all our heroes lack any conviction.
They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction.

So I've got to go,
I've got to go, so here I go
I'm gonna run the risk of being free,being free, being free, being free.

And in this drought of truth and invention, whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention, so we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except:

Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god.

Then we hit the floor, and make ourselves an idol to bow before.

Well I can't,
And I won't
Bow down,
Anymore...

No more."

Ceremony...

Todos nós temos aquelas que apelidamos de "nossas músicas"...

Esta música para mim tem um significado enorme...

Foi uma das últimas músicas escritas pelo génio Ian Curtis...

Tem a capacidade de me fazer voar...
Com esta música tenho vontade de rir e chorar, tudo ao mesmo tempo...

Tão mágica esta música...
Tão cheia de sentimento...

Tão minha...


New Order - "Ceremony"

"This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time.

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time.

Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever."

What a Drag...

"You are dragging me down, I am punching a tree..."


Bear Hands - "What a Drag"

"I'm smearing a look, in a bottomless pit.
I am sending my love, but they won't let it in.
You are dragging me down, I am punching a tree.
When I fall back now, deeper and deeper.

You've got them long nails, I'm dreaming of your god damn long nails.
You've got them long nails, I'm dreaming of your god damn long nails.
You have your finger so deep.

Listening is really just a valueless deed.
When you live underground, it's the way that you sleep.
It's the light in your hair, it's the weight of the breeze
and when I fall back now, deeper and deeper.
deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper.
deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper.

You've got them long nails, I'm dreaming of your god damn long nails.
You've got them long nails, I'm dreaming of your god damn long nails.
You have your finger so deep."

Waving Flags...

Nice music!


British Sea Power - "Waving Flags"

"You are astronomical fans of alcohol
So welcome in
Are rising in the East and setting in the West
All waving flags

We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared

And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh

Are you of legal drinking age, on minimum wage
Well, welcome in
From across the Vistula, you've come so very far
All waving flags

We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared

And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh

Beer is not dark
Beer is not light
It just tastes good
Especially tonight

(Oh welcome in)

Oh welcome in, we are Barbarians
Oh welcome in, cross the Carpathians
Oh we can fail, not with czech ecstasy
No we won't fail, not with czech ecstasy
So welcome in"

Golden Sea...

Diria que esta música é um estrondo!


French Films - "Golden Sea"

Love love love...

Beautiful Song!


Avalanche City - "Love love love"

Elephants...

Nice Song!


Warpaint - "Elephants"

"I'll break your heart
To keep you far from where
All dangers start
And atmosphere

Gets crazy life
Where every breath transpires
And to a star
Space stars come about you

They call me a thief
They call me a thief
Call me a thief
Call me a thief
Common thief
Common thief
Common thief
Call me
Call me

So i know that you're not that you're not here
Sort of lost without you
I hope that you find all there is that
you want, is inside you now.

I'll break your heart
To keep you far from where
All dangers start
I'm on my way
I'm on my way down

I know, that's you're not that you're not here
Sort of lost without you
I hope, that you find all there is that
You want is inside you now

I know that
You're not here
I wonder where you are

In the war
We are waiting for you
With your dying need for ....
hold on right now
We won't let you fall

We are waiting for you
With you dying need for ....
hold on right now
We won't let you fall"

Can't You Wait...

Às vezes até parece fácil fazer boa música...


Geographer - "Can't You Wait"

If I Was...

Gosto muito desta música. Esta música retrata tão bem essa constante da nossa vida:

"E se"...Quantas vezes dizemos isto ao longo da nossa vida?

Esta interrogação leva-nos para os meandros da incerteza do nosso destino...

Acreditemos nele ou não...

Por acaso sou daquelas pessoas que se interroga constantemente acerca destas questões...

Adoro a sensação de viajar pela minha imaginação tentando perceber como seria a minha vida se tivesse feito isto ou aquilo, ou se tivesse seguido outros caminhos...

Esta é uma das magias da nossa imaginação...

Conseguimos viajar a lugares únicos e muito nossos...

Adoro a sensação de ser o actor principal dos meus filmes...

"E se"...

Young Rebel Set - "If I Was"

"If I was a sailor I would sail you out to sea
Take you across the ocean, ask you to marry me
Oh if I was sailor I would sail you home to me
And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you
I'd face every bullet and cannonball that flew
Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you
And if I was a jailer I would lock you away
Then I'd have the key to see you each and every day
Oh if I was a jailer I would still have you today
And if I was a rich man I'd buy you flowers every day
But I am a poor man so I'll pick them on the way
Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay.

I've wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I've wasted so much love
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

And if I had an aeroplane then I'd fly you away
Maybe we go to rome or paris for the day
Oh if I had an aeroplane then I'd whisk you away
And if I was a betting man I'd bet you love me too
I'd bet everything I had for the chance to be with you
Oh if I was a betting man my odds are 9-2.

I've wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I've wasted so much love
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
Yeah I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

I've wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I've wasted so much love
Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

And if I was a writer I would write the book on you
I'd tell them all the stories of the things we used to do
Oh if I was a writer I would write the book on you
And if I was a painter I'd paint portraits of you
Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do
Oh if I was a painter I'd paint potraits of you.

I've wasted so much time
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
I've wasted so much love
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
Yeah I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note."

Sea...

"We gonna live, we gonna live forever..."

The Bewitched Hands - "Sea"

"Here come the night guys
Grab your board on the beach
oh oh, have some fun on the sea

I'm falling down guys
I guess my mind is dreaming
oh oh, have a walk on the beach

Sun's falling down guys
Bring me now what I need
oh oh, you known what I mean

Sorry for that guys
I guess my mind is dying
oh oh, oh let me down on my knees

We gonna live, we gonna live forever
We gonna dream, we gonna dream togeher
We gonna fell, we gonna feel eachother
We gonna see, we gonna see you brother

He's not as lucky as he seems
He's not as crazy as he could be"

Song for no one...

"When your love has gone, you carry on...

This is her song, this is a song for no one..."


Miike Snow - "Song for no one"

"I met you on the palisades
The sun was spilling kerosene
And I was feeling wide awake
Girl, you can be so obscene
And when you sang a lullaby
A missionary called your name
You disappeared and hopped a flight
For the Serengeti plain

Tell everyone you know
Open up the door
Tell everyone you know
Open up the door

When your love has gone
You carry on
This is her song
This is a song for no one
This is a song for no one

I think I own a photograph
That shows her in the freezing rain
With the Italians on the bank
They know how to entertain
A string of pearls behind your hair
A music box to catch your tears

Now call your mother in L.A.
She hasn't heard your voice in years

Tell everyone you know
Open up the door
Tell everyone you know
Open up the door

When your love has gone
You carry on
This is her song
This a song for no one

When your love has gone
You carry on
This is her song
This a song for no one

You can jump a ride
But don't ask why
And don't close your eyes

This a song for no one"

Excuses...

Há músicas com capacidade de nos fazer sorrir...


The Morning Benders - "Excuses"

"You tried to taste me
And I taped my tounge the southern tip of your body
Our bones are too heavy to came up
Squished into a single ceel of wood

Oooooooh .... Oooooooooh

And I made an excuse
You found another way to tell the truth
I put no one else above us
We'll stil be best friends when all turn to dust

Oooooooh .... da-da-da-da-da

Dum du-dum du-dum du-dum du-du-dum

da-da-da-da-da

We are so smooth now
Our edges are beaten drift wood widdled down
Old bodies slip when they make love
We'll mine our sparks to shout us above"

Tyrant Destroyed...

"This world is love and darkness, such a tyrant destoyer..."

Twin Shadow - "Tyrant Destroyed"

I know you spent some time
From the town to the city
Looking for a life to start
And when you were fifteen
I know what you said
"I'd never let another black boy break my heart"

"You waited a decade
For me to come find you
There's never been a chance around
I was just stumbling out of
A prosthetic love
And never been someone so real

This world is
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destoyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destoyer
As you sat sinking in my head

As if it wasn't enough just to hear you speak
They had to give you lips like that
Like all of your sadness reduced to a color
Then painted upon
How could I forget you
And who was I to think that on a Saturday night
That you would really bike home alone
And the way that I left you
Just hanging on Sundays
And fair skin boy take you home

This world is
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destoyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destoyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destoyer
As you sat sinking in my head
Love and darkness
Such a tyrant destoyer
As you sat sinking in my head"

Your Head...

Nice song!


Nada Surf - "The Way You Wear Your Head"

"Don't push me cause i'll fall in love
With whatever you just said
Don't push me cause i'll fall in love
With the way you wear your head
Out in the corner
You're glowing white
I want to want you
I need to need you
I'd love to love you
I want to want you
I need to need you
I'm begging to beg you

I'd like to say good-bye
To a complicated mind
But when i walk and wave
I'm stalked all day
By california lives
And things i didn't try
And the strangest colored eyes"

Hang on to Your Ego...

I love this song!

Frank Black - "Hang on to Your Ego"

"I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone
But what can you tell them
What can you say that wont make them defensive
Hang on to your ego
Hang on but I know that you're gonna lose the fight.
They come on like theyre peacefull
But inside theyre so uptight
They chip through the day and waste all their thoughts at night
But how can I say it
How can I come on when I know I'm guilt
Hang on to your ego
Hang on because I know that you're gonna lose the fight
And how can I say it
How can I come on when I know I'm guilt
Hang on to your ego
Hang on
Hang on but I know that you're gonna lose the fight"

Write About Love...

"I know a trick, forget that you are sick, write about love. It can be in any form, hand it to me in the morning..."



Belle and Sebastian - "Write About Love"

"I know a spell
That would make you well
Write about love
It can be in any tense
But it must make sense

I know a trick
Forget that you are sick
Write about love
It can be in any form
Hand it to me in the morning

I hate my job
I'm working way too much
Everyday I'm stuck in an office

At one o clock I take my lunch up on the roof
The city spread below
I write about a man
He's intellectual and he's hot..
But he understands

The seconds move on (if you watch the clock)

And the sky grows dull (if you're looking up)
But the girl steps from thrill to thrill
On the tightrope walk

I hate my job
I'm working way too much
Everyday I'm stuck in an office

At one o clock I take my lunch up on the roof
The city spread below
I write about a man
He's intellectual and he's hot..
But he understands

I know a way
Get on your skinny knees and pray
You've got to see the dreams through the
Windows and the trees of your living room
You've got to see the dreams through the
Windows and the trees of your living room"

Like a hobo...

"I've had to put my whole world In your hands..."

Charlie Winston - "Like A Hobo"

"Mother,
I've gotta get out of here
So I can save our family
From this poverty
And when I make my money
I'll send it back to you

Father,
Give me strength, I pray
I have to end this misery
It's causing too much pain
I'm gonna look for richer lands
Where the money's made

I'm gonna put my whole World
In your hands
I have to put my whole World
In your hands
In your hands

Mister,
Please let me work somehow
You've kept me waiting 18 months
And still I'm not allowed
And every time you promise me:
"Not much longer now"

I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
I'm gonna put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands

Hey, hey, oho
Listen, listen to me

Mister! Mister! You say you're trying
But don't you know my brother's dying
You say "it won't be long"
But why am I so cursed
For where I am born?
I know

You've got my whole world
In your hands
I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
I'm gonna put my whole world
In your hands
I've had to put my whole world
In your hands
In your hands"

Magia...

O vento eleva-se lá fora chegando a tornar-se enregelante...

Estranho som este cheio de mistérios latentes...

Dá vontade de olhar pela janela e simplesmente observar...

Neste simples gesto de capricho sinto o largo e vertiginoso panorama de um dia cinzento...

As luzes lá fora parecem tremular e o prazer do som cá dentro aumenta...

As notas da música entram pelo ouvido e fazem-me rodopiar numa agitação insana e frenética...

Levam-me para uma dimensão muito única onde tudo se parece conjugar...

Estranho lugar este tão singular e estarrecedor...

É esta a capacidade resplandecente da música...

Ficamos com todos os sentidos vítreos e desvairados...

É bom viver!

dEUS - "What We Talk About (When We Talk About Love)"

"What we talk about,
When we talk about love

Talk about a shot from the hip
And the sky above
Talk about the glow on the lip
What the moon's made of
Talk about things you can't see
When you talk about me...
Do you talk about love?

What we talk about,
When we talk about love

Gimme something i can feel
Not a mystery
Gimme something i can touch
Not a fantasy
Gimme something real, baby
When you talk about love...
Do you talk about me?
Get off that slumber
Come on down get of that train
A bend is easy to take

There's a road up ahead
And it's not that far
There's a road up ahead
And it ain't that far
Down the road you just don't know
What it is you'll find
Down the road, it's a fact babe,
You might as well be blind
It's an odyssey so please,
When you reach that road...
Don't leave me behind

Get off...

Deep as the ocean
Wide as the sea
I'm talking about low visibility...
High as mountain
And harder to climb

It is in what you seek
Not in what you find

When you say things soft
You know they ring so true
When you say things loud
They don't sound like you

Like it when you shake that thing
With the finest touch
Like it when you talk so little
And say so much
City girls they like to get rough
But when you talk about love...
They don't hold no grudge.

Get off..."

Inaction...

How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?

We Are Scientists - "Inaction"

"Call on the fates, this'll take a second
While I fall on my face, like everyone else
And we can talk all we want, but all I can say is that
"I'm sorry, and I'm sorry, but I'm never gonna do it again"

Counting all my relevant friends
Well this keeps coming up again and again
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
Why doesn't someone stop me
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
For the 6th or 7th night in a row
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
Someone stop me?

It's hard to rely on the rhythm section
When they're all packing up
And they're heading for the exit
Yeah we're all about the same
A bunch of slaves to fashion
Who are tall, dark and scared
And just praying for some action

How am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
(how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)
Well, how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?
(how am I supposed to know what makes this happen?)

(inaction, inaction)
I'm counting all my relevant friends
(inaction, inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again
(inaction, inaction)
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
(inaction, inaction)
Why doesn't someone stop me
(inaction, inaction)
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
(inaction, inaction)
For the 6th or 7th night in a row
(inaction, inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
(inaction, inaction)
Someone stop me
(inaction, inaction)

(inaction, inaction)
I can't keep counting on my relevant friends
(inaction, inaction)
'cause this keeps coming up again and again
(inaction, inaction)
If everybody knows how it's gonna end
(inaction, inaction)
Why doesn't someone stop me
(inaction, inaction)
Because I'm sick of waking up on your floor
(inaction, inaction)
For the 6th or 7th night in a row
(inaction, inaction)
I'm lying next to you in all of my clothes
(inaction, inaction)
Someone stop me
(inaction, inaction)"

Castles In The Snow...

Nice song...


Twin Shadow - "Castles In The Snow"

"You're my favorite daydream
I'm your famous nightmare
Everything I see looks like gold
Everything I touch goes cold
Castles in the snow

Here's all I know
Your checkered room and your velvet bow
Your Elvis song in my ear
That moonlit voice that I hear

Now we are old as bread
We walk along our golden crest
We hide away for a week
We only look and don't speak

You're my favorite daydream
I'm your famous nightmare
Everything I see looks like gold
Everything I touch turns cold
Castles in the snow"

Talk To Me Dance With Me...

Tinha saudades de ouvir esta música...

Hot Hot Heat - "Talk To Me Dance With Me"

"You are my only girl, but you're not my owner girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here in the spotlight, girl.
Talk to me... dance with me here.
You're the spotlight girl.
So perfect you paint it... yet so manipulated.
So calm and so patient... yet oh so calculated.
So safe and comforting... this doesn't feel like flirting.
So fun I'm distracted... forgot you keep track of it"

Gimme Sympathy...

"I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?"


Metric - "Gimme Sympathy"

"Get hot, get too close to the flame
Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday all the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"

Don't go, stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hoax
All the chances we took
We're so close to something better left unknown
We're so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun"

Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me a song

Come on, baby, play me a song

Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, "Here Comes the Sun""

Love Ridden...

"I want your warm, but it will only make me colder when it's over..."

Fiona Apple - "Love Ridden"

"Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not baby' anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
My hand won't hold you down no more
The path is clear to follow through
I stood too long in the way of the door
And now I'm giving up on you
No, not baby' anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
No, not baby' anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave"

Everybody Knows...

"How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control..."

Ryan Adams - "Everybody Knows - acoustic"

"You come for me in the worst of places
You come for me, you come and try to take me home
I'm always in need and it's hard to be reciprocating
The fabric of our life gets torn
And everything's changing so how i am to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
You an i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows
He says her name, it echoes in my head like it was a canyon
He says her name, he says it and i know what's up
You come to me sometimes when i'm thinking like a cannonball shooting out a canyon
And i forget whatever it was i was thinking about
With everything changing how am i to know
How i'm going to hold on to you when i'm spinning out of control
With out and i together
But only one of us in love
And everybody knows"

Moon in water...

Great song and video...

Underworld - "Moon In Water"

"The phenomenon of moon in the water is likened to human experience.
The water is the subject, and the moon the object.
When there is no water, there is no moon in the water.
And likewise when there is no moon.
But when the moon rises, the water does not wait to receive it's image,
and when even the tiniest drop of water is poured out,
the moon does not wait to cast its reflection.

Does not wait to cast it's reflection

Does not wait to cast it's reflection

The past is already past.
The future is not yet here.
Things are constantly changing.

For the moon does not intend to cast its reflection,
and the water does not receive its image on purpose.
The event is caused as much by the water as by the moon,
and as the water manifests the brightness of the moon,
the moon manisfests the clarity of the water"
