Nouvelle Vague - Couleurs sur Paris

http://www.nouvellesvagues.com/

Volto já!!

Novo single dos Muse para ouvir(cantaaaaar) hoje à noite!


Now, I've got nothing left to lose
You take your time to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear
That my love will be forever
And we'll die
we'll die together
And I
I will never
Cause our love
Will be forever

Gosto desta!

If I lay here
If I just lay here
would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life


Pois... já so consigo pensar nos concertos de amanhã....!

Já falta pouco!

Já está tudo bem decoradinho? Na ponta da língua? Vá, eu dou uma ajuda:

Is our secret safe tonight
and are we out of sight
Or will our world come tumbling down?
Will they find our hiding place
is this our last embrace
or will the walls start caving in?

It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole?

It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be....

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they wont to stop breaking us down
Hold me
our lips must always be sealed

If we live a life in fear
I'll wait a thousand years
just to see you smile again

Kill your prayers for love and peace
You'll wake the thought police
we can't hide the truth inside

It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole?

It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control
It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last
It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right
It could be wrong could be....

Love is our resistance
They'll keep us apart and they wont to stop breaking us down
Hold me
our lips must always be sealed

The night has reached it's end
We can't pretend
We must run
We must run
Its time to run
Take us away from here
Protect us from further harm
Resistance

Estou a gostar muito da minha mais recente compra:



A primeira faixa é completamente viciante! E, om alguma surpresa, verifiquei que a voz da Rita Redshoes combina perfeitamente com o estilo musical do Legendary Tiger Man.

Resumindo, já sabia que ia gostar mas mesmo assim foi uma surpresa, pela positiva! Agora, gostava era de ver isto ao vivo, mas não deve ser fácil juntar tanta gente... :)

E por falar em "ao vivo", sempre vamos ver David Fonseca? M? :)



"The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man." Madame de Stael

Daqui a uma semana....

... vamos estar muito ansiosos para ver o concerto do projecto "Hoje"!

Não poderíamos ter escolhido dia melhor para ir assistir a este espectéculo, pois é exactamente no Dia Internacional da Música.

Música pela manhã...

Gosto desta música!! Chegam lá por este bocadinho? :)

"So I came down the hill
Of course I was hurt
But then I started to think

It shouldn't hurt me to be free
It's what I really need
To pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don't know what to do with myself"

I just can't get enough

Nem mesmo a falta dos Depeche Mode estragou a noite! Até porque, NV superou as expectativas, e muito!! Especialmente na opinião do público masculino, completamente rendido à prestação da menina Nadeah em Human fly "... spelled F-L-Y"!!
Mais músicas antigas do que do último álbum, ao contrário do que esperava, mas com muitos momentos altos, como "I just can't get enough", "Love will tear us apart" e "I go out on friday night".

Como extra (um extra que foi a melhor surpresa do dia!) ainda tivemos direito a um concerto a lembrar muitas queimas, uma espécie de "best of" dos The Gift! Ficaram a faltar algumas "obrigatórias" como "Front of, "Clown" e "Butterfly"... Talvez por ter sido um concerto SOS!! :) Desculpo só porque não faltou a MINHA "Ok! Do you want something simple?" :):):)



Depois disso, um Domingo de muito sol! Com tanto sol, exposições, concertos, esplanadas e muito boa disposição... fico cansada!! :) Mas é um cansaço do bom, daquele que até parece que carrega as baterias para mais uma semana que está já ali a espreitar... :)




Não tenho aqui as fotos mas pode ser que depois partilhe algumas...!! ;)

...not knowing...

"watching different roads and wonder where my own is rolling
waiting all day long for a change and it's not showing
all those moments days and years
left me standing here not knowing
all these people everywhere
kept me waiting and not knowing
holding to myself fear is all that kept me going
waiting all day long for a change and it's not showing
all those moments days and years
left me standing here not knowing
all these people everywhere"

Para quem quiser ouvir... Não conheço a versão original (Minimal compact), mas gosto da versão com "ar latino" dos Nouvelle Vague!

It's not that wrong...

Está quase quase!! Toca a decorar a letra! :)





Wrong, wrong, wrong!

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong
Wrong

There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently
The wrong mix in the wrong genes
I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means
It was the wrong plan
In the wrong hands
With the wrong theory for the wrong man
The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes
The wrong questions with the wrong replies

Wrong
Wrong

I was marching to the wrong drum
With the wrong scum
Pissing out the wrong energy
Using all the wrong lines
And the wrong signs
With the wrong intensity
I was on the wrong page of the wrong book
With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook
Made the wrong move, every wrong night
With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yeah

Wrong, wrong
(Too long)
Wrong (Too long)
Wrong (Too long)
Wrong (Too long)
Wrong (Too long)

I was born with the wrong sign
In the wrong house
With the wrong ascendancy
I took the wrong road
That led to the wrong tendencies
I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
On the wrong day of the wrong week
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong!

NV3

Já está na lista de compras! Tem uma versão da música "Blister in the sun" e duetos com alguns dos autores das músicas originais, entre eles Martin Gore dos Depeche Mode em "Master and Servant". Será que vão cantar juntos no Super Bock Super Rock??? :)


Deixo-vos com uma já "velhinha" que estava agora mesmo a ouvir:


Ever fallen in love
Original: Buzzcocks


You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

So close your eyes and read the signs...

"Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love
Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love
Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love
Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love
Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love
Choose love, choose love, love
Choose love, choose love"

Gostei muito do bocadinho da música, ainda que pelo telefone...! Já que não deu para ver ao vivo...
Obrigada!!! Pelo telefonema, pelo convite, por tudo... :)

E esta voz canta a doer: "Sem fado nem amor, que resta?..."

Estava a ver que não saíamos do jantar a tempo... Nestas alturas já se sabe que é assim. Atraso atrás de atraso, atrás de atraso... Saltámos a sobremesa, saímos de mansinho com um fino para o caminho, e corremos para o outro lado do rio na esperança de chegarmos a tempo! E chegámos. Ao atravessar a ponte começámos a ouvir uma música que não era, de todo, Deolinda e acalmámos o passo... :)


De novo Deolinda! E de novo um grande concerto! Não entrámos no sítio errado... Nem prendemos o fado na voz... :)
Aquelas pequenas histórias contadas no início de cada música dão outro encanto às canções.

E parece que também vão tocar "lá-para-os-meus-lados" no verão... :) Claro que não vou perder! Mas espero que na altura já haja mais umas musiquinhas novas...

Hoje

Sou mesmo distraída... Como é que ainda não me tinha cruzado com isto?? O que vale tenho amigos que sabem dos meus interesses e me vão avisando!!! ;) Obrigada!

"Sónia Tavares e Nuno Gonçalves dos The Gift, Fernando Ribeiro dos Moonspell e Paulo Praça dos Plaza formam os Hoje num projecto discográfico que revisita canções de Amália Rodrigues, agora abordadas sob a forma pop."

Aqui fica o primeiro tema, para verem e ouvirem:

Run

Adoro associar músicas a pessoas, momentos, pensamentos... E hoje é esta que fica. Tinha de ser esta. Podiam ser muitas outras, é verdade, mas foi esta... só porque sim! ;)



Run
Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess


Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way

One love, one blood, one life

Foi a primeira música que ouvi hoje, por isso já sei que me vai acompanhar ao longo do dia... :) É pena que tenha uma mensagem "menos boa"... Eu sempre achei que era uma música com muita força, e prefiro focar-me no seu lado bom, ainda que tenha de fazer interpretações um bocado enviesadas...!


One
U2

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.

Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other... one

Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got.
We're one, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One, one.

Bono described the song as such: "It is a song about coming together, but it's not the old hippie idea of 'Let's all live together.' It is, in fact, the opposite. It's saying, We are one, but we're not the same. It's not saying we even want to get along, but that we have to get along together in this world if it is to survive. It's a reminder that we have no choice". The band has mentioned that many people tell them they have played "One" at their weddings, prompting Bono to respond, "Are you mad? It's about splitting up!"

Lembra-me

Já não ouvia há muito tempo... e calhou ouvir agora, portanto, aqui fica! Gosto muito! :)


Lembra-me de nós
Margarida Pinto

Já não sei quem és
Já não sei quem és para mim
Se não for demais, lembra-me de nós

Já não sei quem és
Já não sei que faço aqui
Se não for demais, lembra-me de nós

Talvez ele não tivesse dado tudo o que podia
Talvez ela não tivesse a certeza
Um dia sem esperar, um olhou o outro ao acordar
Despertou e pensou para si:

Já não sei quem és
Já não sei que faço aqui
Se não for demais, lembra-me de nós

Quiseram os dois que não tivesse sido assim
Mas assim o escolheram
Ainda dormentes, no momento, disseram:

Lembra-me dos sitios onde andei, do que passei contigo
Lembra-me os momentos que guardei - não tenho lembranças

Lembra-me dos dias em que vivia por ti
Lembra-me as promessas que te fiz

Se não for demais, lembra-me de nós
Se não for demais, lembra-me de nós

Já não sei quem és
Já nã sei quem és para mim
Se não for demais, lembra-me de nós

Lose control

Uma teoria de um dos pacientes do Dr House fez-me lembrar desta música. O que ele dizia era qualquer como isto:

"Playing by the rules makes everyone else happy.
But does that make you happy?"

Lose control
Evanescence

You don't remember my name
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?

Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control - just once
With all the pretty flowers in the dust

Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know

Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control - just once

If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there will be nothing good left of you

E quem não perde o controlo de vez em quando? E às vezes é o melhor que nos podia acontecer.

...running out

Não chega para descrever como foi estar lá ao vivo... mas aqui fica para recordar! (...estávamos bem afinados...!)




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
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

Our time is running out
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

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?

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

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?"

...como é que uma mesma música nos pode dizer coisas diferentes em momentos diferentes...?
