Tom Waits - i don´t wanna grow up

Tal como eu...



É ou não é de génio ?

The Dream Syndicate

The Dream Syndicate A classic guitar band of the eighties. Born at the end of the Punk era, with a feel for Velvet Undergroundon The Dream Syndicate instantly became the saviours of alternative rock before tha term was commonly used.

With The Days Of Wine and Roses they climbed to a highpoint in the critics eyes, and is still today considered a classic outside of die hard Steve Wynn fans circles.

The Medicine Show took a different direction that the raw punkish debut, and some critiques turned their fingers down. It was/is however on of the most lived albums among fans.

After The Medicine Show there was change in line up. Out went Kendra Smith and Karl Precoda and in came Mark Walton and Paul B. Cutler.

Para ouvir pela primeira vez, ou para recordar, escolhi este tema extraordinário: Merrittville, do álbum

The Medicine Show de 1984

Voltando ao génio de Zappa

Uma pequena demonstração, entre tantas possíveis...

Depois da santíssima trindade, a vez das mulheres

Começando, em homenagem a uma amiga, pela sempre jovem Suzanne Vega

para ouvir em "vote for tom" e em "vote for women"

Depois do pai e do filho, chegou a vez do Espírito Santo:

Frank Zappa.

É um dos meus maiores ídolos.

Extraordinário guitarrista,

Extraordinário compositor; e

Extraordinário intérprete.

Diz-se que está aqui:

mas eu não acredito.

Anda algures por aí...

Jeff Buckley

Depois do pai, o filho.





Convém desligar a playlist que estiver a rolar

Tim Buckley

Mais um a recordar.

Tim Buckley (o trovador americano, como lhe chamavam).

Para além da música, deixou o Jeff, que o imitou, até na morte prematura.

Song To The Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang

Sail to me

Sail to me

Let me enfold you

Here I am

Here I am

Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you hare when I was fox?

Now my foolish boat is leaning

Broken lovelorn on your rocks,

For you sing, touch me not, touch me not,

come back tomorrow:

O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow

I am puzzled as the newborn child

I am troubled at the tide:

Should I stand amid the breakers?

Should I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you:

Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you

Há muitas versões.

A mais famosa é dos "This Mortal Coil" (foi tema de um anúncio de um perfume).

A ouvir em Vote for Tom

Everybody knows - Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows - Leonard Cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets

Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that you've been faithful

Ah give or take a night or two

Everybody knows you've been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never

Everybody knows that it's me or you

And everybody knows that you live forever

Ah when you've done a line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming

Everybody knows that it's moving fast

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact of the past

Everybody knows the scene is dead

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it's coming apart

Take one last look at this Sacred Heart Before it blows

And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
