The National - Lucky You

Every time you get a drink
And every time you go to sleep
Are those dreams inside your head
Is there sunlight on your bed

And every time you're driving home
Way outside your safety zone
Wherever you will ever be
You're never getting rid of me

You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me

You could have made a safer bet
But what you break is what you get
You wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake

You own me
There's nothing you can do
You own me
You own me
Lucky you
You own me
There's nothing you can do

You clean yourself to meet
The man who isn't me
You're putting on a shirt
A shirt i'll never see
The letter's in your coat
But no one's in your head
Cause you're too smart to remember
You're too smart
Lucky you

The Sound - One Thousand Reasons (HQ)

Should you let the chance slip to see it crack
As it hits the floor?
You can't hold on to it and hang on to what you
Had before
Decisions hang in the air you leave them swinging
Back and forth
One thousand reasons to stay
One thousand reasons to come away
One thousand reasons to hold on to
What you have got in this life anyway

I push for what I really want so it moves
Away from me
It's like you've set your heart on ice and set a date
When you'll melt it free
Everything you really feel will remain
A mystery

(Adrian Borland)

Greenday . "Boulevard of broken dreams"

"Boulevard of broken dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

The Smiths - Meat is murder

Peço desculpa pela fraca qualidade da imagem e do som, mas era o único vídeo disponível com a letra original, e em português, embora do Brasil. Um grande passo para sustentabilidade, para a ecologia, para a saúde mental e pública!....Ser vegetariano é ser mais humano! Obrigado Morrissey!

David Sylvian . September

September - David Sylvian

The sun shines high above
The sounds of laughter
The birds swoop down upon
The crosses of old grey churches
We say that we're in love
While secretly wishing for rain
Sipping coke and playing games
September's here again
September's here again

The National - "Anyone's Ghost"

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 has 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

The National . "Sorrow"

Sorrow found me when I was young,
Sorrow waited, sorrow won.
Sorrow that put me on the pills,
It's in my honey it's in my milk.
It's only about half a heart alone
On the water,
Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy.
Cause I don't wanna get over you.
I don't wanna get over you.

Sorrows my body on the waves
Sorrows a girl inside my cage
Didn't I see sorrow build?
It's in my honey, it's in my milk.
It's only my half of heart alone,
On the water,
Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy.
Cause I don't wanna get over you.
I don't wanna get over you.

It's only my half of heart alone,
On the water,
Cover me in rag and bones, sympathy.

Cause I don't wanna get over you.

I don't wanna get over you

A Chopin (e a Maria João Pires)

O genial músico polaco, Fréderic Chopin, nasceu há duzentos anos. Aqui fica uma interpretação de uma obra sua pela "nossa" fantástica Maria João pires. Pode-se saber mais sobre Chopin na Wikipédia...

Love Will Tears Apart . Joy Division

When the routine bites hard

and ambitions are low

And the resentment rides high

but emotions won't grow

And we're changing our ways,

taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold

Turned away on your side?

Is my timing that flawed,

our respect run so dry?

Yet there's still this appeal

That we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep

All my failings exposed

Get a taste in my mouth

As desperation takes hold

Is it something so good

Just can't function no more?

When love, love will tear us apart again

(Ian Curtis .Joy Division . nos 30 anos da sua morte)

Eddie Vedder . "Long Nights"

Have no fear

For when I'm alone

I'll be better off

Than I was before

I've got this life

I'll be around to grow

Who I was before

I cannot recall

Long nights allow

Me to feel I'm falling

I am falling

The lights go out

Let me feel I'm falling

I am falling

Safely to the ground

I'll take this soul

That's inside me now

Like a brand new friend

I'll forever know

I've got this life

And the will to show

I will always be

Better than before

Long nights allow

Me to feel I'm falling

I am falling

The lights go out

Let me feel I'm falling

I am falling

Safely to the ground

David Sylvian . "Darkest Dreaming"

Stay tonight
We'll watch the full moon rising
Hold on tight
The sky is breaking

I don't ever want to be alone
With all my darkest dreaming
Hold me close
The sky is breaking

I don't ever want to be alone
With all my darkest dreaming
Hold me close
The sky is breaking

Epitaph for my Heart . The Magnetic Fields (ForM)

"Epitaph for My Heart" by the Magnetic Fields

"Caution: to prevent electric shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel."

Let this be the epitaph for my heart
Cupid put too much poison in the dart
This is the epitaph for my heart because it's gone, gone gone
And life goes on and on, anon
And death goes on, world without end
And you're not my friend

Who will mourn the passing of my heart?
Will its little droppings climb the pop chart?
Who'll take its ashes and, singing, fling
Them from the top of the Brill Building?
And life goes on and on, anon
And death goes on, world without end
And you're not my friend

"Anima Mundi" no Dia Mundial do Ambiente

Anima Mundi (1991) é um pequeno documentário realizado por Godfrey Reggio, com música de Philip Glass. A beleza do mundo na poesia da música e das imagens.

Phillip Glass . "Opening"

Parece que hoje, após 36 anos, vai finalmente ser revogado o famigerado decreto-lei 73/73, que permite que em Portugal os projectos de arquitectura possam ser feitos por não arquitectos. É motivo para comemorar, embora com (muitas) reservas... De qualquer forma, (enquanto se aguardam mais pormenores) aqui fica um tema de um dos maiores compositores da actualidade.

Amsterdam, por Jacques Brel

Interlúdio

"Golden Brown"

It was forty years ago...

Há quarenta anos atrás era publicado aquele que é provavelmente o disco mais influente da música pop. Inovação musical, temática, técnica e mesmo artística (basta mencionar a capa...), contribuiram para criar uma obra de referência e um marco da cultura pop. Foi entretanto criada uma página apenas para divulgação do disco. Para aceder basta "clicar" na imagem.

"Song to the siren"

"All you need is..."

A propósito de um espectáculo musical, foi lançado no passado dia 21 um "novo" disco (produzido pelo mítico George Martin) do mais famoso quarteto de todos os tempos... Para aceder ao espaço de divulgação (e até ouvir as músicas) basta "clicar" na imagem.
