DRINK ME - Anna Nalick

Talk about the weather

Will you miss me ever?

Lately I'm obsessed

And I need the rest

I hope that you're impressed

She's so pretty, I'm jealous

And she's lost like Alice

In a painted past

In a looking glass

I see me looking back

I'll take another Drink Me, baby

Slowly, I'll disappear

And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace

So let's play it truth or dare

So you're a fan of Coltrane

I wanna be Kurt Cobain

When the truth gets scary

I'll take my gin and sherry

And some Drink Me they'll be

Plath and Joplin with verse writing suiciders

Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show

I'll be there in the front row

I'll take another Drink Me, baby

Slowly, I'll disappear

And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace

So let's play truth or dare

And I won't be around to play your games

There will come a day when you won't know my name

And I'll get smaller with

Every swallow you'll

Wait tomorrow and things won't be the same

Talk about the weather

Will you miss me ever?

Lately I'm obsessed

And I need the rest

I hope that you're impressed

Cuz I need the rest

Yeah my head's a mess

I need the rest

I need the rest

I need the rest

Perfeição Pop - Barenaked Ladies

Os Barenaked Ladies são um grupo canadense que faz alguma coisa que pode ser chamado de pop-rock e seu maior trunfo é a presença de palco. Os álbuns são ótimos, com canções animadas, alegres e cantantes, mas é no palco que eles fazem a diferença. 40 minutos de um show que vi deles em 2003 foram suficientes para eu sair de lá e comprar todos os CDs possíveis. E de lá para cá a minha adoração por eles só cresceu.

Porém em 2009, por problemas internos, o Steven Page saiu da banda. Para vocês entenderem, um dos trunfos era que eles eram em dois vocalistas, sendo o Steven um e o Ed Robertson outro, sendo que um tinha a voz completamente diferente do outro, e eles brincavam com este dueto. E no começo deste ano eles lançaram 'All in Good Time', o primeiro sem o Steven.

Parei ontem para ouví-lo e, na primeira audição achei bem legal, mas mais calmo, sossegado, com poucas canções com a vibe BNL e, com isso, não consegui concluir nada. Hoje cedo, vindo para o trabalho, ouvi novamente e finalmente cheguei a alguma conclusão.

Não é o melhor álbum deles, bem abaixo da obra prima 'Stunt', mas não deixa de ser um álbum bom. E sim, perdeu boa parte daquele 'up' que eles tinham, flertando mais para o pop-rock melodioso do que para as canções trabalhadas e 'confusas', com vocais rápidos e batida animada. Porém, no meio destas, está a pérola 'You Run Away', que é para mim, até agora, a mais bela música de 2010. É linda!

Ps: para quem não sabe, é do BNL a canção de abertura do The Big Bang Theory. Se situaram?

You Run Away - Barenaked Ladies

You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me

I tried to be your brother
You cried and ran for cover
I made a mess, who doesn’t
I did my best but it wasn’t enough

You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me

I’ll give you something can cry about
One thing you should try it out
Hold a mirror shoulder high
When you’re older look you in the eye
When you’re older look you in the eye

I tried but you tried harder
I lied but you lied smarter
You made me guess who was it
I did my best but it wasn’t enough

OOOOHHHHHHHOOOHHH

You run away
You could turn and stay
But you run away from me

You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesn’t, I did my best but it wasn’t enough)

But that’s not something to cry about (crrryyyy!)
It’s not something to lie about

You run away (I tried to be your brother)
You could turn and stay (You cried and ran for cover)
But you run away from me (I made a mess, who doesn’t, I did my best but it wasn’t enough)

MÖTLEY CRUE - HOME SWEET HOME

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right
Doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long & winding road

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off the silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home Sweet Home
Yeah
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home Sweet Home

Via-Crúcis - Bresser

No Mosteiro de São Bento, monges budistas buscam alento
Na Capela dos Aflitos, resolvem-se todos conflitos
Na Catedral da Sé, põe-se à prova toda fé
Na Igreja dos Enforcados, vencem os desesperados.

Franciscanos, jesuítas, marianos, carmelitas
Santa Donata, Santa Cecília – mártires em sua vigília
Novenas, trezenas, fiéis em centena, rosário de contas pequenas
Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte, faça com que eu seja forte.

João Mendes, Patriarca, prostitutas e barracas
Ciganas, cartomantes, mães-de-santo e quiromantes
Pastores ensandecidos pregando a desgraça na praça
Será minha fé tão verdadeira quanto estas igrejas com cadeiras de praia?

Hare-krishnas nas ruas confusas, freiras tímidas louvando reclusas
Todo mundo tem razão, todos têm a explicação
Odeio cheiro de incenso, tudo isto é contra-senso
Caboclos, guias, psicografia – quero apenas ver à luz do dia!

Hurt - Johnny Cash

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

(Chorus)
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt..

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

(Chorus)
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

O 'Grave Dancers Union' é pra mim um dos melhores álbuns da década de 90 e provavelmente o mais subestimado. É um hit atrás do outro, só tem canções sensacionais. Uma ouvida nele me transporta imediatamente de volta à um tempo bom...

HOMESICK - SOUL ASYLUM

I want to live with you in the fifth dimension
In a dream I've never had
Cause I just can't live like this in a world like this
I just want a kiss goodbye

And we are not of this world
And there's a place for us
Stuck inside this fleeting moment
Tucked away where no one own it
Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away

And oh, I am so homesick
But it ain't that bad
Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had

And though I sometimes get annoyed I know just where I'm at
This is my song of joy
And now I know there are no secret trick, no correct politics
Just liars and lunatics

And we are not of this world
And there's a place for us
Stuck inside this fleeting moment
Tucked away where no one own it
Wrapped up in a haste and by mistake got thrown away

And oh, I am so homesick
But it ain't that bad
Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had

And though I would not take it personally, it's just the child in me
I never really knew how much I had

Woe is me, I am so homesick
But it ain't that bad
Cause I'm homesick for the home I've never had

MUSE - UPRISING


Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume,
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down,
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene,
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed,
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds,
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
(So come on)

Interchanging mind control,
Come let the revolution take it's toll,
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye,
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious

umas das músicas mais fodas da melhor cantora do mundo (ao menos para mim).



SHERYL CROW - IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY

I've been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn't been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything's wrong?

ANOTHER CALIFORNIA SONG - DAMHNAIT DOYLE

For a moment I believed
Once you came you'd never leave
Lay like that not long enough for me

You got the trackmarks of the trade
And every promise ever made
Swore that it would be the last for me

Does it give you a rush
To think that I want you so much

Said you were back to stay
I shoulda know better
Now you're half the way to California
Now I'm curled up on your side of the bed
And I'm thinkin' bout things you never said
I would have followed you to California

Smoked me like a cigarrette
Said that this won't hurt a bit
But you lied because it burned and it burned

Thanks a lot for leaving town
I'm so high I can't come down
Makes me wonder if I'll ever learn

Don't it give you a rush
To think that I want you so much

Said you were back to stay
I shoulda know better
Now you're half the way to California
Now I'm curled up on your side of the bed
And I'm thinkin' bout things you never said
I would have followed you to California

Do you come back 'cause you can
Am I just waiting for a ghost of a man?

And does it give you a rush
To think that I want you so much

Said you were back to stay
I shoulda know better
Now you're half the way to California
Now I'm curled up on your side of the bed
And I'm thinkin' bout things you never said
I would have followed you to California

Said you were back to stay
Well I shoulda know better
Now you're half the way to California
(I want you so bad)
Curled up on your side of the bed
I'm thinkin' bout things you never said
I would have followed you to California
(I want you so bad)
California

Said you were back to stay
I shoulda know better
Now you're half the way to California
Curled up on your side of the bed
I'm thinkin' bout things you never said
I would have followed you to California

SIGNAL FIRE - SNOW PATROL

The perfect words never crossed my mind,
'cause there was nothing in there but you,
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me,
All I wanted just spin right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this here falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety

No I wont wait forever (x2)

In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire,
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this here falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,

There you are standing right in front of me (x2)
All this here falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close cause I need you to guide me to safety,

No I wont wait forever (x3)

Ando Só

ando só
pois só eu sei
pra onde ir
por onde andei
ando só
nem sei por que
não me pergunte
o que eu não sei

Quanto tempo de nossas vidas andamos só? Boa parte dela, podemos afirmar. Quantas vezes estamos sozinhos mesmo estando cercados por diversas pessoas? Muitas. E me sinto muito bem sozinho, muitas vezes isto é necessário, mas eu também sinto falta de não mais estar só, como todos.

O pecado mora ao lado
E o paraíso... paira no ar

E a solidão desaparece quando menos esperamos, sem qualquer explicação.

Cai a noite sobre a minha indecisão
Sobrevoa o inferno minha timidez
Um telefonema bastaria
Passaria a limpo a vida inteira
Cai a noite sem explicação
Sem fazer a ligação

É um estado de espírito. É um querer estar, muito mais do que um forçar estar. É mais simples do que parece, muito mais simples...

Já perdemos muito tempo brincando de perfeição
Esquecemos o que somos: simples de coração


Nós que complicamos...

Que a chuva caia como uma luva
Um diluvio um delírio
Que a chuva traga alivio imediato

...a vida, que é muito mais simples e suave e deliciosa que fazemos transparecer.

A vida é uma viagem
passagem só de ida
Há quem diga que não vale

E sim, eu quero. Quero isto que você está pensando, que você me disse.

Todos os dias eu venho ao mesmo lugar,
Às vezes fica longe, impossível de encontrar
Mas, quando o Bourbon é bom
Toda noite é noite de luar.

Quero, contra tudo, contra todos. Contra meus medos e minha demora. Quero.

Se faltar calor, a gente esquenta
Se ficar pequeno, a gente aumenta
E se não for possível, a gente tenta
Vamos velejar no mar de lama
Se faltar o vento, a gente inventa.

Você quer? Me quer?

ALCOHOL

Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the caffe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else.

Would you please forgive me
Would you please forgive me

STUCK IN A MOMENT

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you. Ooh.
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
'Cause tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

You are such a fool
To worry like you do.. Oh
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh lord look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you cant gt out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

The Ice Is Getting Thinner

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.

We bury our love in the wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak.

And when spring arrived
We were taken by surprise when the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me.

We're not the same, dear,
And it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go
With nothing underneath.
And it saddens me to say
But we both know, well, it's true
That the ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.
The ice was getting thinner
Under me and you.

Uma das melhor músicas que ouvi nos últimos tempos, tanto na letra quanto na melodia e harmonia. Perfeita, posso dizer!

Em Algum Lugar no Tempo
Biquini Cavadão

Não guarde mágoa de mim
Também não me esqueça
Talvez não saiba amar
Nem mesmo te mereça
Como as ondas do mar
Sempre vão e vem
Nossos beijos de adeus
Na estação de trem
Um gosto de lágrima no rosto
Palavras murmuradas
Que eu quase nem ouço
Que eu quase nem ouço...

Em algum lugar no tempo
Nós ainda estamos juntos
Em algum lugar
Ainda estamos juntos
Em algum lugar no tempo
Nós ainda estamos juntos
Prá sempre, prá sempre
Ficaremos juntos...

Não tenha medo de mim
Não importa o que aconteça
Não me tire da sua vida
Nem desapareça
Como as ondas do mar
Sempre vão e vem
Nossos beijos de adeus
Na estação de trem
Um gosto de lágrima no rosto
Palavras murmuradas
Que eu quase nem ouço
Que eu quase nem ouço...

Em algum lugar no tempo
Nós ainda estamos juntos
Em algum lugar
Ainda estamos juntos
Em algum lugar no tempo
Nós ainda estamos juntos
Prá sempre, prá sempre
Ficaremos juntos
Juntos...

Em algum lugar no tempo
Nós ainda estamos juntos
Prá sempre, prá sempre
Ficaremos juntos
Não guarde mágoa de mim!
