é um bocadinho irónico, é...

Eu esforço-me! A sério que sim! Para lutar contra os meus vícios, que são mais que muitos e uns piores para a saúde que outros. Um dos piores de todos, é ouvir essa musiquinha tramada que puxa a melancolia. Deliberadamente, é coisa que não tem saído da prateleira. E depois vem o sacana do I-tunes, todo aleatório e mais não sei quê e vai-se a ver, e o que foi que a máquina escolheu para nós?

Isto! Umas três vezes hoje...

sonhos e pesadelos.

my words exactly

(re-)aparecida

a menina tem um novo álbum!
viva viva!...

melancolia nacional

há dias em que não gosto dela.
há outros que sim.
um grande amor, no fundo.


"Choose Love"
Rita Redshoes





I choose to hide
But I look for you all the time
I choose to run
But I'm begging for you to come
I wanna break
But I know that you can take
I stay a while
To be sure that you're by my side
Oh, oh

Don't look at me, just look inside
'Cause I can go through
Tell me, are you goin' tired
Of what I don't do
I wanna see, I wanna fight
'Cause I don't feel scared
Honey, if you care

I choose to find
Things that you left behind
I choose to stare
But I can take you anywhere
I wanna stay
But my soul leaves you anyway
Can close the door
And love, could you give me more

Don't look at me, just look inside
'Cause I can go through
Tell me, are you goin' tired
Of what I don't do
I wanna see, I wanna fight
'Cause I don't feel scared
Honey, if you care

Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love, oh

Don't wanna hear, I wanna fight
'Cause this time I won't be wrong
And I can waste this precious time
Asking where do I belong
So let me know your love is real
'Cause this time you won't control
Tell me please, what do you feel
Do I have to save your soul

mais uma rainha da melancolia

Eu sei que é Verão! mas já estar "ao trabalho" exige música de Outono...

sunday afternoon

it's a choice
to stay
it's a dream
and i wanna wake

you have blood on your hands
and i'm feeling faint
and honey
you can't decide

i'm a drug
you don't wanna give up
smoke your cigarettes
make your love

you poured blood in my heart
and i can't get enough
i'm drowning, drowning
and you can't decide

it's not about geography, or happenstance
you need to fly, and take a chance
you don't need to soar to emptiness
float on high and forever dance alone

you're scared, scared, scared
'cause i feel like home

hear your voice
knew right away
if you were here
your eyes would say

there is blood on my feet
as i'm walking away
the rivers are red
it's starting to rain

i'm not gonna live for you, or die for you
or do anything anymore for you
'cause you leave me here on the other side
won't you leave me here on the other side
...
not gonna live for you, or die for you
or do anything...
not gonna shed one more tear for you
...
at least not 'till sunday afternoon

tudo na mesma como a lesma

que é um invertebrado (por sinal)
e lembrei-me destes por tudo desta semana.



Keane (por Lilly Allen)
"Everybody's Changing"

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

toda a santa noite

em argumentação com o passado.
e nada. como sempre fica apenas a banda sonora que me lembro de ter ouvido por lá.

Secret



Do you wanna let me into your soul
Do you want to show me secrets I don’t know
Do you me to part with all my love
Stab myself in the heart
Give you all my blood

Don’t treat me like a fool
I’m more intelligent than you
You may have partially succeeded in breaking me in two
But at least I have a heart a mind and a soul

Do you want to show me I can trust you
Do you want to hold me before I leave you
Did I ever tell you that you’re wasting my time
Did I ever mention I can’t see you for a while

melancolia das melancolias

a culpa desta foi da Luísa que me deu o álbum e me fez descobrir o poder desta gata de provocar o teletransporte para uma outra dimensão. hoje a da melancolia.

The greatest





Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
Melt me down
To big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
That corporate slob
Make a watch
For a space in town
For the lack of the dreds
Of my bed I've been sleeping
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
When things I couldn't explain
Any feelings
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
