Wanna Dance?

"My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning. Paris is burning all night long.

My heart is dreaming, but Paris is screaming. Paris is screaming all night long."


"Lights and music, are on my mind

Be my baby, one more time."

Let´s!!

E esta aqui ao lado («---) tão boa, ahm? Não me farto de a ouvir bem alto. Já pedia um videoclip bem potente.

Musical Addiction - Vanessa da Mata

Esta grande maluca tem um grande álbum. Começa em grande com Vermelho, continua enorme pela mão de Ben Harper numa Boa Sorte/Good Luck que toda a gente adora.

E vai daí e aparece Pirraça "naquele jeito gostoso" que "parece brincadeirinha" e põe os mortos a dançar, seguida da energética Você Vai Me Destruir e do bom gosto de Absurdo, um autêntico manifesto ecológico. Ora leiam:

Desmatam tudo e reclamam do tempo
Que ironia conflitante ser
Desequilíbrio que alimenta as pragas
Alterado grão, alterado pão
Sujamos rios, dependemos das águas
Tanto faz os meios violentos
Luxúria é ética do perverso vivo
Morto por dinheiro
Cores, tantas cores
Tais belezas
Foram-se
Versos e estrelas
Tantas fadas que eu não vi
Falsos bens, progresso?
Com a mãe, ingratidão
Deram o galinheiro
Pra raposa vigiar

Cansei De Ser Sexy

Isso é um facto real em mim :P (kidding). Trata-se, isso sim, da mais recente musical addicttion. Com especial destaque para a cereja no topo do bolo: a música viciante Music Is My Hot Hot Sex (só pelo título dá pra ver que a letra é inspiradíssima):


From all the drugs the one i like more is music
From all the junks the one i need more is music
From all the boys the one i take home is music
From all the ladies the one i kiss is music (muah!)

Music is my boyfriend
Music is my girlfriend
Music is my dead end
Music is my imaginary friend

Music is my brother
Music is my great-grand-daughter
Music is my sister
Music is my favorite mistress

From all the shit the one i gotta buy is music
From all the jobs the one i choose is music
From all the drinks the one i get drunk is music
From all the bitches the one i wannabe is music

Music is my beach house
Music is my hometown
Music is my kingsize bed
Music's where I meet my friends

Music is my hot hot bath
Music is my hot hot sex
Music is my back rub
Music is where i'd like you to touch

Claro-que-sim, fui escoteira-mirim
Direto da escola, não, não ia cheirar cola
Nem basquete, pebolim
O que eu gosto não é de graça
O que gosto não é farsa
Tem guitarra, bateria, computador saindo som
Alguns dizem que mais alto que um furacão
Perto dele eu podia sentir
Saía de seu olho e chegava em mim
Sentada do seu lado eu queria encostar
Faria o tigela até o sol raiar
Debaixo do lençol ele gemia em ré bemol
Fiquei tensa mas tava tudo bem
Ele é fagão, mas eu sei que eu sou também

Musical Addiction - India Arie

Mais um álbum a roçar a perfeição (se a perfeição for atingível, teremos nós capacidade para o compreender...?), descobri India Arie e o seu Acoustic Soul no site entretanto extinto para os utilizadores não americanos, o pandora.com. A música Brown Skin foi apresentada como um exemplo de proximidade a Joss Stone, no entanto, só a etiqueta soul as aproxima.

Umas letras carregadas de alta auto-estima e confiança (até irrita :p bincandu: "My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes / No matter what I´m wearing I will always be India Arie / Because I am a queen") e outras bem certeiras ("Keep your expensive car and your caviar / All I need is my guitar" - Video).

E pronto, está dito. Ou não...

A Culpa É Da Vontade

Fogo, ainda não era eu nascida (provavelmente) e já andava o sr. Variações a escrever em meu nome... grande letra (mesmo) e grande música dos Humanos, esses gigantes.

A Culpa É Da Vontade

A culpa não, não é do sol
Se o meu corpo se queimar
A culpa é da vontade
Que eu tenho de te abraçar

A culpa não, não é da praia
Se o meu corpo se ferir
A culpa é da vontade
Que tenho de te sentir

A culpa é da vontade
Que vive dentro de mim
E só morre com a idade
Com a idade do meu fim

A culpa é da vontade

A culpa não, não é do mar
Se o meu olhar se perder
A culpa é da vontade
Que tenho de te ver

A culpa não, não é do vento
Se a minha voz se calar
A culpa é do lamento
Que sufoca o meu cantar

A culpa é da vontade
Que vive dentro de mim
E só morre com a idade
Com a idade do meu fim

A culpa é da vontade

Still (Dogma OST)



Há uns anos atrás, quando ainda fazia música de jeito, Alanis Morissette espremeu uma pérola do seu reportório, para acompanhar outra pérola, o filme Dogma de Kevin Smith, onde Ben Affleck e Matt Damon são dois anjos renegados por Deus, nada mais nada menos que... Morissette.

Aqui fica a letra (melhor que a música) de Still, Deus segundo Alanis Morissette:






Still
I am the harm which you inflict / I am your brilliance and frustration / I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I'm your immaturaty and your indignance / I am your misfits and your praised / I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape / I am your grasping and expectation / I see you averting your glances / I see you cheering on the war / I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still And I love you still
I am your joy and your regret / I am your fury and your elation / I am your yearning and your sweat / I am your faithless and your religion / I see you altering history / I see you abusing the land / I see you and your selective amnesia / And I love you still And I love you still
I am your tragedy and your fortune / I am your crisis and delight / I am your profits and your prophets / I am your art, I am your bytes / I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights / I am your sickness and convalescence / I am your weapons and your light / I see you holding your grudges / I see you gunning them down / I see you silencing your sisters / And I love you still And I love you / I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out / I see you blaming each other
And I love you still
I love you still

The Cardigans

A minha banda favoritíssima merece um espacinho no meu espaço :O aqui fica a letra de uma das melhores deles, talvez a melhor letra:


Couldn't Care Less

(Long Gone Before Daylight)
All music by Peter Svensson
All lyrics by Nina Persson


oh, my heart can't carry much more
it's really really aching and sore
my heart don't care anymore
I really can't bear more


my hands don't work like before
I shiver and I scrape at your door
my heart can't carry much more
but you couldn't care less, could you?
your face don't look like before
it's really not like yours anymore
your eyes don't like me no more
they quiver and they shift to the floor

my heart don't beat like before
it's never been this slow
o, my blood don't flow anymore
and you couldn't care less, could you?
could we stop and sleep for a spell
we can turn this ditch into a well
and send that old devil back to hell
but we really don't care, do we?
baby, let's stop and sleep for a spell
we can turn this ditch into a well
and send that old devil back to hell

your back's not straight like before
you really shouldn't carry me no more
I'm much too heavy for you
I'm really quite a mess, yes

we just don't care anymore
we're crooked and we're cut to the core
we're just not there anymore
but we really don't care, do we?
no, we couldn't care less
we couldn't care less, could we?
