wish you were here - hoje sinto-me assim...

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. Pink Floyd

Let It Snow - hoje deu-me para ouvir isto...

Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! It doesn't show signs of Pauseping, And I've bought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! When we finally kiss goodnight, How I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight, All the way home I'll be warm. The fire is slowly dying, And, my dear, we're still good-bying, But as long as you love me so, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus* - hoje deu-me para ouvir isto...

I Saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus, under neath that mistletoe last night She didn't see me creep, down stairs to have a peek! She thought that i was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep. Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus, underneath his beard so snowy white! Oh, what a laugh it would have been, If Daddy had only seen, Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night! I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus, underneath the misletoe last night! She didn't see me creep, down stairs to have a peek! She thought that i was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep! Then I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus, underneath his beard so snowy white! What a laugh it would have been If Daddy had only seen, Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night, Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!!! I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, Jessica Simpson.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town* - hoje deu-me para ouvir isto...

Well, you better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town He's makin' a list, Checkin' it twice; Gonna find out who's naughty or nice. Santa Claus is comin' to town He knows when you are sleepin' He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been good or bad So be good for goodness sake You better watch out! You better not cry. You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why. Santa Claus is comin' to town. Santa Claus is comin' to town. Santa Claus is comin' to town. (He knows when you are sleepin') (He knows when you're awake) He knows if you've been good or bad So be good for goodness sake You better watch out! You better not cry. You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why. Santa Claus is comin' to town. He knows when you are sleepin' He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been good or bad So be good for goodness sake Well, you better watch out! You better not cry. You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why. Santa Claus is comin' (Santa Claus is comin') Santa Claus is comin' to town.

*Letra da Música Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Não sei quem é o autor da letra; nem quem a cantou pela primeira vez; eu ouvi-a na voz de Frank Sinatra.

Control, de Anton Corbijn

O amor voltará a destruir-nos Quando a rotina castiga de forma severa, E já são curtas as ambições, E um forte ressentimento prospera, Sem que irrompam as emoções. E vamos mudando os nossos caminhos, Percorrendo estradas diferentes. Então o amor, o amor voltará a destruir-nos. Por que está o quarto tão frio? Viraste-te na cama para o outro lado. Falhei o momento correcto? Esgotou-se o nosso respeito. Porém ainda resiste esta atracção Que guardámos nas nossas vidas. Mas o amor, o amor voltará a destruir-nos. Choras durante o sono, Expões todos os meus fracassos. Na minha boca forma-se um gosto, Sempre que o desespero aperta. Apenas isto, algo tão bom Que já não pode funcionar. Enquanto o amor, o amor voltará a destruir-nos. Versão de AMC. Love will tear us apart, música escrita por Ian Curtis, dos Joy Division (1980). Love will tear us apart (letra daqui) 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 will tear us apart again Why is the bedroom so cold You've 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 But love will tear us apart again Do you cry out in your sleep All my failings expose There's a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more When love will tear us apart again

I really feel that I'm losing my best friend* - Don't Speak - No Doubt

Tu e eu, Nós costumávamos andar juntos Todos os dias juntos, sempre... Sinto verdadeiramente Que estou a perder o meu melhor amigo. Eu não consigo acreditar Que seja o fim... Até parece que tu queres ir embora E se isso é verdade, Então, eu não quero saber. Não fales Eu sei o que estás a pensar Não preciso das tuas razões... Não me contes, que isso magoa. (excerto traduzido, versão AB) You and me We used to be together Everyday together always I really feel That I'm losing my best friend I can't believe This could be the end It looks as though you're letting go And if it's real Well I don't want to know Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Our memories Well, they can be inviting But some are altogether Mighty frightening As we die, both you and I With my head in my hands I sit and cry Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts It's all ending I gotta stop pretending who we are... You and me I can see us dying...are we? Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't tell me cause it hurts! I know what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, oh I know what you're thinking And I don't need your reasons I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts *Recordo-me de ouvir esta música, corria o ano de 1997 ou 1998, não posso precisar, e de sentir, de cada vez que a ouvia, que uma faca me era espetada no coração. Não sou fã dos No Doubt; conheço duas ou três músicas, de que nem sequer posso dizer que gosto. Mas nunca nenhuma música foi tão directa ao meu coração como esta. Até o timing foi perfeito; há perfeição mesmo na imperfeição. De cada vez que a oiço sinto-me implodir. E mais uma faca é espetada no meu pobre coração. Tantos anos passaram, e ainda não posso, ainda não consigo, acreditar...

Platters - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes*

Para quem não conhece... ...

It’s really grand when you stand hand in hand with your lover

Pela segunda vez faço um Questionário, depois de Quem será o próximo Campeão Nacional de Futebol?, cujos resultados podem ser vistos aqui. Desta vez a pergunta é: Gosta dos The Platters? Love is ecstasy, it’s divine to be enchanted When your dreams are slanted through a lover’s eyes

Enchanted - The Platters*

Living is a dream when you make it seem enchanted Lovers take for granted all the world’s aglow, they ought to know When you touch a star then you really are enchanted Find a seed and plant it, love will make it grow It’s really grand when you stand hand in hand with your lover And thrill to the wonders of night And days, too, will amaze you and soon you’ll discover Your dreams run to dreams in continuous flight Love is ecstasy, it’s divine to be enchanted When your dreams are slanted through a lover’s eyes It’s really grand when you stand hand in hand with your lover And thrill to the wonders of night And days, too, will amaze you and soon you’ll discover Your dreams run to dreams in continuous flight Love is ecstasy, it’s divine to be enchanted When your dreams are slanted through a lover’s eyes *THE PLATTERS, lyrics of Enchanted, taken from "The Platters" Imagem: Composition XIII, de Wassily Kandinsky - (1866-1944) - Pintor Russo, um dos pintores mais famosos do século XX, a quem se atribui a primeira pintura abstracta moderna. leia o artigo wikipédia, para saber mais.

Remember When* (hoje sinto-me assim)

Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo) I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo) My lips were so afraid to say "I love you" Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo) The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes Remember how much I cried Tears of joy to think you were mine Darling, down deep inside I still feel that feeling divine I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo) I can't remember when I didn't love you Remember how much I cried Tears of joy to think you were mine Darling, down deep inside I still feel that feeling divine I loved you then and I still do I can't remember when I didn't love you *THE PLATTERS, lyrics of Remember When, taken from "The Platters"

hoje sinto-me como o Brian May*

Who Wants to Live Forever? Theres no time for us, Theres no place for us, What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us. Who wants to live forever, Who wants to live forever....? Theres no chance for us, Its all decided for us, This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us. Who wants to live forever?, Who wants to live forever? Who dares to love forever?, When love must die. But touch my tears with your lips, Touch my world with your fingertips, And we can have forever, And we can love forever, Forever is our today, Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today. QUEEN, lyrics of Who Wants to Live Forever?, taken from A Kind of Magic (1986) - *Letra de Brian May.

hoje sinto-me como o Freddie Mercury

IT'S A HARD LIFE I don't want my freedom There's no reason for living with a broken heart. This is a tricky situation - I've only got myself to blame It's just a simple fact of life It can happen to anyone - You win - you lose It's a chance you have to take with love Oh yeah - I fell in love But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart. It's a hard life To be true lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts - It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another right from the start When you're in love - I try and mend the broken pieces I try to fight back the tears They say it's just a state of mind But it happens to everyone - How it hurts - deep inside When your love has cut you down to size Life is tough - on your own Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies And I'm waiting for love. Yes it's a hard life Two lovers together To love and live forever in each others hearts It's a long hard fight To learn to care for each other To trust in one another - right from the start When you're in love - Yes it's a hard life In a world that's filled with sorrow There are people searching for love in every way - It's a long hard fight - But I'll always live for tomorrow I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love QUEEN, Lyrics of It's a Hard Life, taken from The Works - letra de Freddie Mercury

Estava a ouvir Lets Do It de Billie Holiday, enquanto lia este poema. E achei que estavam bem uma para o outro (a música para o poema)... Lets do it... Lets fall in love...

Obrigado Samuka, por me teres "apresentado" este artista fabuloso. Reparem que cantores é o que mais por aí há, mas o epíteto de artistas poucos podem usar com propriedade...
