Antony and the Johnsons

Finalmente no domingo é o dia... só espero não desatar a chorar durante o espectáculo.
Hoje no Y lia que uma vos destas só por volta de 2025 voltava a aparecer, eu digo mais, a voz pode aparecer, mas esta intensidade, esta emoção, este sentimento, este desespero, este arrepio não voltam a aparecer mais - é único.

"You and I will meet one day
Under the night sky
Led by soft black stars"

(Antony, Soft black stars)

Por favor, faz-me parar de chorar.
Até amanhã.

Patrick Wolf

I'm in love... estou apaixonado pela música, não consigo parar de ouvir...
Ainda ontem recebi o album, hoje ouvi e ouvi...



This Weather

The storm blows around
This harbour town
I listen to its wind as a choir
The shipping forecast
Is crackling
Like wet wood upon a fire

And time slows and slips away
The tourists come around in May
'Till August when the clouds roll in
The pier cracks, the awnings fade
The Ferris wheel spins slowly in the rain,
The day is gone.

Under this weather
Under this weather
Such shadows are blossoming

Out at sea I am not going to set myself free here
I am following some dark fortune
Some circle in me

Hold back the wind
Hold back the rain
I want to live
To see good weather

Hold back the years
Hold back the hours
I want to live
To see the sun break through
These days

Under this weather
Under this weather
Such shadows are blossoming
In me

11.33

Devia logo ter começa pelos the GiFt!
A Sónia e os irmãos Gonçalves que me perdooem!
Tenho aqui à minha frente a edição do AM-FM, não sei porque, durante aquele calor de Fevereiro a capa estalou e ficou grande parte descolada, e eu que cuido tão bem dela. Abro com calma, retiro para o lado o DVD documentário e making of, dou mais duas voltas, fica aberto em 4. Dois cd's e dois song book's. Quero os créditos e as letras... vou ao lado direito, abro, procuro, e lá está 11.33. Mistério, que significa o título?

11.33

Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me

You could answer my questions
and show your repentance
now that i've wasted my time
now i know more is less, i guess i chose the logic way.

next time, you'll have time to think why
l-o-v-e is a hard, hard thing to keep hard, hard thing to keep
and you'll understand what im saying.

Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
couse again and again and again you broke my heart

i want know how...
you're bringing me so down
couse ain't nobody's love that can save me

i want know how...
you're bringing me so down
couse again and again and again you broke my heart

try not regain my atention
it's late for you useless redenption
i've wasted all my life now my heart is a mess
i'll choose the trafic way

next time i'll have time to think why l-o-v-e is a hard, hard think to keep
hard, hard think to keep
and you'll understand what im saying.

Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
and you'll understand what im saying.
you'll understand what im saying.

i want know how...
you're bringing me so down
couse ain't nobody's love that can save me

i want know how...
you're bringing me so down
couse again and again you broke my heart

i want know how...
you're bringing me so down...

Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me

Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me
Ain't nobody's love that can help me ...

Quero voltar a vê-los ao vivo, ainda lembro Fevereiro, naquela sala linda em Leiria, eu no balcão a cantar de cor todas as canções... Que saudades. Adoro-os...

You got wires... I got tears

Ouço esta voz, estas palavras, apenas me apetece cair no chão, carregar os meus punhos pelos cabelos, gritar bem alto... O melhor single dos Athlete até ao momento, extraído do álbum "Tourist", numa profundidade e sentimento claramento superiores ao álbum "Vehicals and Animals".



Athlete - Wires

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
You got tears, making tracks
I got tears, that are scared of the facts

Running down corridors
Through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
I see hope is here, in a plastic box
I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
There's dry blood, on your wrist
Your dry blood, on my fingertip

Running down corridors
Through automatic doors
Got to get to you, got to see this through
First night of your life, curled up on your own
Looking at you now, you would never know

I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright

I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
You'll be alright
Alright

Running ... down corridors, through, automatic doors,
Got to get to you, got to see this through,
I see hope is here, in a plastic box,
I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes,

Down corridors, through automatic doors,
Got to get to you, got to see this through,
First night of your life, curled up on your own,
Looking at you now, you would never know

Eurovision Song Contest

Mais um ano, e acreditem que o Festival da Eurovisão faz este ano 50 anos, será comemorado na Ucrânia. Ah já me esquecia de fazer a introdução lol, já sei que vão achar piroso gostar do festival da canção, mas eu adoro! E para sempre me eide lembrar do David de Cardiff, quando uma vez me falávamos na net e me pede para lhe traduzir a música da Manuela Bravo, Sobe balão sobe...

Tal como fiz no ano passado, após audição de todas as músicas concorrentes ao festival (e digo que, que no ano passado, a canção vencedora não estava entre as minhas eleitas, vamos ver se este ano as coisas correm melhor nas minhas apostas, mas pelo menos são aquelas que eu acho que valem a pena ouvir segunda ou terceira vez:

Andorra - Marian van de Wal - La mirada interior
Finlândia - Geir Rönning - Why
Hungria - NOX - Forogj Világ
Islândia - Selma - If I had your love
Irlanda - Donna & Joseph McCaul - Love?
Letónia - Walters & Kazha - The war is not over
Roménia - Luminita Anghel & Sistem - Let me cry
Suécia - Martin Stenmarck - Las Vegas
Reino Unido - Javine - Touch my fire

De entre as menciodas, os meus 12 pontos vão para os irmãos Irlandeses. No entanto, acho que tem mais probabilidades de ganhar a Hungria.
Até sábado!

Bloc Party, Interpol, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight, Kasabian

Bloc Party


Depois de no ano passado terem dominado os Franz Ferdinand, sejam bem vindos os Bloc Party, os Kaiser Chiefs, os Interpol, os Kasabian, os Razorblight, etc...

Um álbum que têm de ouvir é mesmo Silent Alarm dos Bloc Party, torna-se menos cansativo que o próprio álbum homónimo do ano passado dos Franz.

Banquet (Bloc Party)

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I can give you life, I can take it away

A heart of stone, a smoking gun
I'm working it out
Why'd you feel so underrated?
Why'd you feel so negated?

Turning away from the light
Becoming adult
Turning into my soul
I wanted to bite not destroy
To feel her underneath
Turning into my soul

She don't think straight
She's got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops
And you don't taste like her and you never ever will
And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news
Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled

And if you feel a little left behind
I will see you on the other side

I'm on fire so stub me out

Cos I'm on fire
I'm on fire when you come
