Lisa Loeb

Aqui há dias estava a falar com um grupo de amigos e mencionei o nome desta menina e, para meu grande espanto, só uma das doze pessoas presentes se lembrava dela.
E desta vez nem estava a falar de musicas dos anos 60 ou 70 como por vezes acontece.
A menina lançou o primeiro disco em 1992 e de lá para cá tem publicado com alguma regularidade.
Aqui fica a discografia completa da menina:

• 1992: Purple Tape
• 1995: Tails
• 1997: Firecracker
• 2002: Cake and Pie
• 2002: Hello Lisa
• 2003: Catch the Moon
• 2004: The Way It Really Is
• 2008: Camp Lisa

I DO

When I'm done with thinking, then I'm done with you
When I'm done with crying, then I'm done with you
When I feel so tired, then I'm done with you
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way.

And I do.
Wou can hear it, but I do.
You can hear it, but I do.

You're trying to convince me that what I've done's not right
I get so frustrated, I stay up every night.
You ask me for an answer, and I'm so tired and I'm up in the air.
Everybody feels this way sometimes, everybody feels this way

And I do.
You can't hear it but I do
You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way just because you say

I will be ignored
I will be denied
I could be erased
I could be brushed aside
I will get scared, and I will get shoved down
but I feel like I do because you push me around.

And I do
You can't hear it but I do
You don't seem angry but I do
I do.



STAY (I MISSED YOU)

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.

And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.

And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's in love, and the other's run away,
lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.

Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
Well, well, this is not that;
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.

And I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure. You try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.

You said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you.

You said you caught me cause u want me and one day you'll let me go.
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose.
And you say, "Stay."

And you say I only hear what I want to.
