Ladies and Gentlemans: BELLE and SEBASTIAN!!!!!

Sergio Godinho

Apesar de já andar por aí há uns anos, este senhor é, na minha opinião, o melhor artista português da actualidade.
Nasceu no Porto em 1945 mas com 20 anos saiu de Portugal para evitar a guerra colonial só regressando depois do 25 de Abril. Nos nove anos que esteve fora do país Sérgio Godinho esteve em vários países e cidades mas foi em Paris que iniciou a sua carreira musical.
Durante dois anos participou no espectáculo musical "Hair", colaborou com José Mário Branco no álbum "Mudam-se os Tempos, Mudam-se as Vontades" e lançou os seus dois primeiros álbuns: "Os Sobreviventes" em 1971 e no ano seguinte o álbum "Pré-Histórias".
No momento em que se dá o 25 de Abril Sérgio Godinho estava no Canadá com a primeira mulher. Regressou a Portugal nesse mesmo ano e lançou o álbum "À Queima-Roupa".
De então para cá tem editado com regularidade e sempre com qualidade. Colaborou com diversos projectos musicais e ocasionalmente como actor em projectos de televisão, cinema e teatro e também publicou livros (O pequeno livro dos medos - texto e ilustrações [livro infantil]; O sangue por um fio [livro de poemas]).

E agora alguns vídeos:





Uma das minhas preferidas



Aquela que talvez melhor o define













E claro não podia faltar esta



Lisboa Que Amanhece

Cansados vão os corpos para casa
Dos ritmos imitados doutra dança
A noite finge ser
Ainda uma criança de olhos na lua
Com a sua
Cegueira da razão e do desejo

A noite é cega, as sombras de Lisboa
São da cidade branca a escura face
Lisboa é mãe solteira
Amou como se fosse a mais indefesa
Princesa
Que as trevas algum dia coroaram


Não sei se dura sempre esse teu beijo
Ou apenas o que resta desta noite
O vento, enfim, parou
Já mal o vejo
Por sobre o Tejo
E já tudo pode ser
Tudo aquilo que parece
Na Lisboa que amanhece


O Tejo que reflecte o dia à solta
æ noite é prisioneiro dos olhares
Ao Cais dos Miradoiros
Vão chegando dos bares os navegantes
Amantes
Das teias que o amor e o fumo tecem

E o Necas que julgou que era cantora
Que as dádivas da noite são eternas
Mal chega a madrugada
Tem que rapar as pernas para que o dia
Não traia
Dietriches que não foram nem Marlénes


Em sonhos, é sabido, não se morre
Aliás essa é a Única vantagem
De após o vão trabalho
O povo ir de viagem ao sono fundo
Fecundo
Em glórias e terrores e aventuras

E ai de quem acorda estremunhado
Espreitando pela fresta a ver se é dia
E as simples ansiedades
Ditam sentenças friamente ao ouvido
Ruído
Que a noite se acostuma e transfigura


Na Lisboa que amanhece

Não sei quem foi que o disse, não me recordo, mas ouvi uma vez dizer que é estranho que uma das melhores canções sobre Lisboa alguma vez escrita tenha sido escrita por alguém... do Porto!

E foi também em 1982 que desapareceu uma das maiores vozes da música portuguesa
Adriano Correia de Oliveira

Joan Baez

Joan Chandos Baez mais conhecida como Joan Baez.
Mais uma das cantoras que eu considero indispensáveis em qualquer colecção de música.



O original é de Bob Dylan mas ela cantou inumeras músicas dele







Esta que é uma das suas canções mais conhecidas também é do Bob Dylan



BLOWING IN THE WIND

How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove fly,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times must a man look up,
before he sees the sky?
And how many ears must one man have,
before he can hear people cry ?
And how many deaths will it take till we know,
that too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.

Esta é das minhas preferidas



E esta (mais uma do Bob Dylan) é a minha preferida



A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony,
I met a white man who walked a black dog,
I met a young woman whose body was burning,
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,
I met one man who was wounded in love,
I met another man who was wounded with hatred,
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',
But I'll know my song well before I start singin',
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

John Lennon

É sem duvida um dos maiores génios da história da música. Em 2002 entrou na lista dos 100 britânicos mais influentes de sempre.
John Winston Lennon nasceu em 1940 na cidade britanica de Liverpool e tornou-se mundialmente famoso como um dos quatro integrantes da banda que revolucionou a música nos anos 60 os Beatles.
Depois da banda se separar John Lennon iniciou uma carreira a solo(ou re-iniciou, visto já ter lançado 3 albuns a solo [sem grande sucesso] enquanto ainda estava nos Beatles).
Ao contrário dos primeiros albuns que eram muito experimentais e com gravações caseiras esta segunda fase da sua carreira esteve recheada de sucessos (Imagine, Woman, Instant Karma, Jealous Guy...).
Em 1980 e depois de 5 anos sem gravar Lennon lançou o seu último álbum "Double Fantasy" que marcava o regresso aos discos e ao sucesso. Do álbum faziam parte canções como "(Just Like)Starting Over", "Woman", "Watching the Wheels" e "Beautiful Boy". Mas aquele que devia ser o álbum de regresso foi o último a 8 de Dezembro desse mesmo ano John Lennon foi assassinado por Mark David Chapman (o sujeito da foto da esquerda)

Além de músico e activista pela paz Lennon realizou documentários e escreveu livros. Aqui fica uma lista da extensa obra de Lennon:

Mais uma cantora da minha lista de vozes inesqueciveis, Rilo Kiley...
Simplesmente magnifica!!!!!!!



My Slumbering Heart

In my dreams
I see myself hitting a baseball
In a green field somewhere near a freeway
I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base
And it's hot and
The kids keep on playing the driving game
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain
And the sky is a blueish grey.
And its become just like a chemical stress
Tracing the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone.

In my dreams
I see you at the foot of some mountains.
And we're taking some pictures or something
And we'd better hurry up
And it's late and
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
And we'd better hurry up
And I've become just like a terrible mess
searching the lines in my face for
something more beautiful than is there
the crowds keep me coming back. Cheering.

In my dreams
I see you asleep on a twin bed
The covers pulled up over your head
Am I asleep or awake?
And it's morning
And the captain is playing the radio
And hes just put the paint on his new boat
Am I asleep or awake?

And it just feels good when you're waking up
And it just feels good when you're next to me
And it just feels good when you're coming home
And it just feels good when it's waking up

And I've become just like a chemical stress
Tracing the lines of my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I've barely been gone
and I'm not a failure
I swear
I wish you could see it from over there
I've got a lot over here without you
I've barely been gone
gone

Silver Lining

And I'm not going back into rags or in the hole
and our bruises are coming
but we will never fold

and i was your silver lining
as the story goes
i was your silver lining but now im gold
hooray hooray im your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold.

And i was your silver lining
high up on my toes
well you were running through fields of hitchhikers
as the story goes

hooray hooray im your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold
hooray hooray im your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold

And the grass it was a ticking
and the sun was on the rise
i never felt so wicked
as when i willed our love to die

and i was your silver lining as the story goes
i was your silver lining but now im gold
hooray hooray im your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold
hooray hooray im your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold
but now im gold
but now im gold
but now im gold



The Frug

And I can do the frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf
And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love

And I can do the frug
I can do the Robocop
I can do the Freddie
I cannot do the Smurf

And I can watch TV
I can shuffle off to Buffalo
I can do a backbend
I will not call you back
And I can start a book
I can make some mac and cheese
I can sleep twelve hours
You'll never see my eyes

Chorus


And I can hate your girl
I can tell you that she's real pretty
I can take my clothes off
I cannot fall in love
You'll never see my eyes
I will not call you back
I cannot do the smurf
I cannot fall in love
I'll never fall in love
I cannot fall in love...

Chorus




PORTIONS FOR FOXES

There's blood in my mouth 'cause I've been biting my tongue all week
I keep on talkin' trash but I never say anything
And the talkin' leads to touchin'
and the touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left

And It's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

I know I'm alone if I'm with or without you
but just bein' around you offers me another form of relief
When the loneliness leads to bad dreams
and the bad dreams lead me to callin' you
and I call you and say "C'MERE!"

And it's bad news
Baby I'm bad news
I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news

And it's bad news
Baby it's bad news
It's just bad news, bad news, bad news

'Cause you're just damage control
for a walking corpse like me - like you

'Cause we'll all be
Portions for foxes
Yeah we'll all be
Portions for foxes

There's a pretty young thing in front of you
and she's real pretty and she's real into you
and then she's sleepin' inside of you
and the talkin' leads to touchin'
then touchin' leads to sex
and then there is no mystery left

And it's bad news
I don't blame you
I do the same thing
I get lonely too

And you're bad news
My friends tell me to leave you
That you're bad news, bad news, bad news

That you're bad news
Baby you're bad news
and you're bad news
Baby you're bad news
and you're bad news
I don't care I like you
and you're bad news
I don't care I like you
I like you



WITH ARMS OUTSTRETCHED

Its 16 miles, to the promised land
and I promise you, I'm doing the best I can
now don't fool yourself
in thinking you're more than a man
cause you'll probably end up dead

i visit these
mountains with frequency
and i stand here with my arms up
now some days, they last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast

and if you want me
you better speak up- i won't wait
so you better, move fast

don't fool yourself
in thinking you're more than you are
with your arms outstretched to me

now its 16 miles to the promised land
and i promise you i'm doing the best i can
now some days, they last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast

and if you want me, you better speak up i won't wait
so you better move fast

and some days they last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast
and if you want me, you better speak up i wont wait
so you better move fast

Para o Júlio

De todos os meus irmãos o Júlio é aquele com quem, em termos musicais, menos me identifico.
Não há muitas músicas de que ambos gostemos. São raras as vezes em que concordamos.
As excepções são:
