Black Holes and Revelations é o álbum mais recente (2006) dos Muse e bem que podia falar de músicas como Starlight ou Supermassive Black Hole para mostrar o meu gosto por este grupo de rock alternativo.
Mas não.
Volto mais atrás, Absolution é o álbum que quero recordar.
Sing for Absolution, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Hysteria e Our Time is Running Out são temas fantásticos.
Principalmente a última.

Esta música diz muito.
Esta música diz tudo!

Muse – Our time is running out

I think I’m drowning, asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell, that you’ve created
You’re something beautiful, a contradiction
I wanna play the game, I want the friction

You will be the death of me
Yeah You will be the death of me

Bury it
I won’t let you bury it
I won’t let you smother it
I won’t let you murder it

And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can’t push it underground
You can’t stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom, bound and restricted
I tried to give you up, but I’m addicted
Now that you know I’m trapped, sense of elation
You’d never dream of breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won’t let you bury it
I won’t let you smother it
I won’t let you murder it

And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can’t push it underground
You can’t stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh

Yeah you will suck the life out of me

Bury it
I won’t let you bury it
I won’t let you smother it
I won’t let you murder it

And our time is running out
And our time is running out
You can’t push it underground
You can’t stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh

Há coisas que não consigo resistir e uma delas é ver um daqueles cds de uma banda favorita, e não comprar. Tenho de trazer o álbum para casa (e muitas das vezes até já o tinha em formato mp3)! Penso que é uma forma de incentivar a que não deixem de fazer boa música.
Hoje fiquei surpreendido ao ver um cd dos HIM que desconhecia. Agarrei logo nele e pus-me a ler as músicas que tinha.
Pensei: – Este tem de ir comigo para casa! :P
Mas antes que acentasse as ideias, deparo-me imediatamente com outro álbum novo também dos HIM.
Aiii, assim já estão a abusar! Um já era óptimo mas dois… Excepcional!
Estava perante Uneasy Listening Vol. 1 e Vol. 2, duas colectâneas com muitos êxitos em remisturas, temas ao vivo, em acústico ou gravadas em estúdio de rádio. Ainda pensei em escolher um deles para trazer mas iria ficar sempre a pensar no outro… Pronto, acabei por trazer os dois! :D
Depois de os ouvir apenas tenho uma palavra: Adoro!
Os HIM desde o início me cativaram bastante e ao longo do tempo apresentaram uma sonoridade e uma lírica muito própria que me faz gostar bastante desta banda de Love Metal/Rock Alternativo.
Com estes dois cds, Ville Valo apresenta 29 temas refrescados e com uma nova aura!

Esta música pertence ao álbum Mezzanine dos Massive Attack. Apesar da sua idade (1998) será sempre uma daquelas que marca presença na minha playlist (só as batidas iniciais da música, a fazer lembrar o bater do coração, arrasa completamente).
Sem qualquer dúvida, uma das minhas músicas favoritas!

Massive Attack – Teardrop

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You’re stumbling in the dark
You’re stumbling in the dark

Uma das minhas músicas favoritas!
A versão original (1971) é da autoria de Keith Richards e Mick Jagger (The Rolling Stones) mas prefiro esta da Alicia Keys com o Adam Levine (Maroon 5) gravada para os MTV Unplugged (2005).

Alicia Keys ft. Adam Levine – Wild Horses

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted, I bought them for you
Graceless lady, you know who I am
You know I can’t let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away

I watched you suffer, a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind , baby

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

I know I dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don’t have much time
Faith has been broken, tears have been cried
Let’s do some living before we die

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
Wild horses, we will ride them someday

Até me dei ao trabalho de fazer o upload. É caso para dizer: - Quem é amigo, quem é?

Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder

I wake up with blood-shot eyes
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry

Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back

I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
(Yeah)
So this is goodbye

God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid

I want to dive into you
Forget what you’re going through
I get behind, make your move
Forget about the truth

I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try

And you told me how you’re feeling
But I don’t believe it’s true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye

I’ve been here before
One day a week
And it won’t hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The word is set on how to mean me
Cause

I still don’t have the reason
And you don’t have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
And I…and so this is goodbye

Give me something to believe in
Cause I don’t believe in you anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference,
It even makes a difference to try

And you told me how you’re feeling
But I don’t believe it’s true anymore
Anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
(Oh no)

So this is goodbye, yeah
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye, yeah
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye, yeah

Uma banda portuguesa vai actuar no festival de Glastonbury (Inglaterra) no dia 22 de Junho, e no Roskilde (Dinamarca) a 7 de Julho. É rarissímo termos representantes lusos nestes festivais europeus, muito menos nos dois no mesmo ano!
Despertou-me a curiosidade e fui ouvir um pouco dos Buraka Som Sistema com o seu inovador kuduro progressivo.
Penso que todos já ouviram a Yah! por isso deixo-vos Wawaba.
É diferente. ;)

Este mundo pode ser maravilhoso…

I’ve been down so low people look at me and they know,
they can tell something is wrong
like I don’t belong,
well, staring through a window standing outside there just to happy to care
and I wanna be like them but I’ll mess it up again,
I tripped them out when God kicked outside everybody’s soul.

And I know that it’s a wonderful world
But I can’t feel it right now,
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you’re here, here with me.

Sometimes I feel so full that it just comes spilling out,
it’s uncomfortable to see I give it away so easily,
but if I had someone I would do anything and never never never never let you feel alone
I won’t, I won’t leave you on your own,
who am I to dream, dreams are for fools, they always let you down.

And I know that it’s a wonderful world
But I can’t feel it right now,
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you’re here, here with me.

And I wish that I could make it better,
I’d give anything for you to call me,
Maybe just a little letter
Oh it could start again.

And I know that it’s a wonderful world
But I can’t feel it right now,
I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now,
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see when you’re here, here with me.

I know that it’s a wonderful world
but I can’t feel it right now,
I’ve got all the right clothes to wear I just wanna cry now,
I know that it’s a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea,
But I can only see well when you’re here, here with me.

And I know that it’s a wonderful world
When your with me.
