She drove a long way through the night From an urban neighborhood She left her mother in a fight For a dream misunderstood And her friends they talk on corners They could never comprehend
But there was always something different In the way she held a stare And the pictures that she painted Were of glamour and of flair And her boyfriend though he loved her Knew he couldn't quite fulfill He could never meet her there
She's never gonna be like the one before She read it in her stars that there's something more No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
And the cynics they will wonder What's the difference with this dream And the dreams of countless others All believing in TV They see their handprints in a sidewalk Flashing cameras on the scene And a shining limousine
She's never gonna be like the one before She read it in her stars that there's something more No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks She'll be the Queen of Hollywood She's believing in a dream (Queen of Hollywood) It's a loaded fantasy
Now her mother collects cut-outs And the pictures make her smile But if she saw behind the curtains It could only make her cry She's got hand prints on her body Sad moonbeams in her eyes not so innocent a child
She's never gonna be like the one before She read it in her stars that there's something more No matter what it takes and even though she breaks She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
Esta música faz parte da minha adolescência, mas quando surgiu ainda era muito pequenina. Bons velhos tempos do rock...e como ainda consegue estar actualizado nos tempos que correm.
Thursday night, everything's fine Except you've got that look in your eye When I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring You're thinking of something to say You'll go along with it, then drop it And humiliate me in front of our friends
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin' And say something like: "Yeah, intelligent input, darlin' Why don't you just have another beer, then?" Then you'll call me a bitch And everyone we're with will be embarrassed And I won't give a shit
My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight, I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so many lemons 'cause I am so bitter I said: "I'd rather be with your friends, mate 'Cause they are much fitter," Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive And I must admit that I was a bit scared But it gives me thrills to wind you up
My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight, I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't
Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted What a surprise Don't want to look at your face 'cause it's makin' me sick You've gone and got sick on my trainers I only got these yesterday Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this
Well, I'll leave you there till the mornin' And I purposely won't turn the heating on And dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one
My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight, I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't
My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight, I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't
Quando me deixo que as recordações voltem a entrar dentro de mim, sinto a tua falta...
Sinto falta da maneira como me fazias rir... Sinto falta de ter alguém a quem ligar ou mandar mensagens... Sinto falta de ter o coração a palpitar quando estava junto de ti... Sinto falta do dia em que te conheci... Sinto falta das longas conversas... Sinto falta de um grande abraço teu... Sinto muita falta de ti...
Joan Jett é uma das figuras femininas mais importantes da História do rock.
Nascida em 22 de Setembro de 1960, na cidade de Filadélfia.
Quando tinha doze anos de idade, sua família mudou-se para a cidade de Los Angeles. Aos 15 anos de idade, Joan Jett conheceu a britânica guitarrista Lita Ford e formou sua primeira banda. Kim Fowley, um produtor fonográfico descobriu a banda e tornou-se seu empresário. Assim que Fowley tornou-se o empresário da banda, este sugeriu que o nome da banda deveria ser The Runnaways. Assim sendo, a banda assinou um contrato com a Mercury Records. A banda lançou apenas três discos que não tiveram muito sucesso nos E.U.A., mas que as tornaram muito populares na Europa e no Japão.
As Runnaways romperam em meados de 1980, dando início às carreiras solos de Joan Jett e Lita Ford. Após essa dissolução, Joan Jett mudou-se para Nova York.
Joan Jett foi contratada pelo selo Boardwalk Records, lançando seu disco "Bad Reputation", que atingiu o número 51 das paradas americanas. Joan Jett formou os Blackhearts em meio ao disco "Bad Reputation" e ao seu segundo disco "I Love Rock 'n' Roll". A banda incluia o guitarrista Ricky Byrd, o baixista Gary Ryan e o baterista Lee Crystal. Lançado no final de 1981, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" tornou-se um grande sucesso, alcançando o "Top 10" das paradas americanas.
Em 1983, Joan Jett e os Blackhearts lançam "Album", que teve boa recepção da crítica e do público, mas que não obteve o mesmo sucesso das gravações anteriores.
Em 1987, Joan Jett estrelou seu primeiro filme "Luz da Fama" (Light of Day). O filme teve boa recepção da crítica e do público, onde a canção "I Hate Myself for Loving You" alcançou o Top 10 americano. Esta música foi inclusa em seu próximo disco "Up Your Alley".
Após uma década de sucesso, nos anos 90 sua carreira torna-se mais discreta. Em 1990, Joan Jett lança um disco de covers intitulado "The Hit List". Esse disco contém covers de bandas que a influenciaram durante toda sua carreira, tais como: AC/DC, Sex Pistols, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, entre outros.
Em 1991, Joan Jett lança o discretíssimo "Notorious". Em 1994, Joan lança "Pure and Simple", disco este que recebe muitas críticas positivas e coloca Joan Jett novamente em uma posição de destaque no cenário do rock mundial.
Em 1995, Joan lança "Evilstig", no qual conta com membros remanescentes da banda The Gits (clássica banda punk de Seattle, na qual a vocalista Mia Zapata foi estuprada e morta em 1993).
Em 1999, Joan Jett reuniu novamente os Blackhearts e lançaram "Fetish". De 1999 até os dias de hoje, Joan Jett permanece no activo tocando em festivais pelo mundo inteiro.
Na minha opinião, acho que é fácil deixarmo-nos levar pelos nossos sonhos...talvez por ser bom, por tudo ser possível, por conseguirmos ter e viver algo especial...
Letra da música:
All the friends I believed in I believed in for a while They had their flair They had their style But nobody quite got it right Nobody knew just how it feels to be me
But sometimes when I'm dreaming And I dream a lot these days I meet someone who understands Who leads me through the haze It's only when I'm dreaming That I fall in love for real But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I'm dreaming
And it's now That I need a friend I reach out for the phone Nobody's there Nobody's home Though it may not be right to give up the fight I'm sailing away Now I'm on my own Alone
But sometimes when I'm dreaming And I dream a lot these days I meet someone who understands Who leads me through the haze It's only when I'm dreaming that I fall in love for real But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I'm dreaming But I wake up screaming Sometimes when I'm dreaming
Girl im in love with you This ain't the honeymoon Past the infatuation phase Right in the thick of love At times we get sick of love It seems like we argue everyday
[Bridge]
I know i misbehaved And you made your mistakes And we both still got room left to grow And though love sometimes hurts I still put you first And we'll make this thing work But I think we should take it slow
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) Ordinary People Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow
[Verse 2]
This ain't a movie no No fairy tale conclusion ya'll It gets more confusing everyday Sometimes it's heaven sent Then we head back to hell again We kiss then we make up on the way
[Bridge]
I hang up you call We rise and we fall And we feel like just walking away As our love advances We take second chances Though it's not a fantasy I Still want you to stay
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow
[Verse 3]
Take it slow Maybe we'll live and learn Maybe we'll crash and burn Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave, maybe you'll return Maybe another fight Maybe we won't survive But maybe we'll grow We never know baby youuuu and I
[Chorus]
We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy) We're just ordinary people We don't know which way to go Cuz we're ordinary people Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh) This time we'll take it slow

Oh Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please to come home
Oh Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please to come home Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia Up in my bedroom (making love) I got up to wash my face When I come back to bed Someone's taken my place
Oh Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please to come home Come on home
Jubilation, she loves me again, I fall on the floor and I'm laughing, Jubilation, she loves me again, I fall on the floor and I'm laughing
Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here, and you're miles away and I'm wondering why you left And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles And it always makes me smile I spend my time thinking about you and it's almost driving me wild And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all (missing you) since you've been gone away (missing you), I ain't missing you (missing you) No matter what I might say (missing you) There's a message in the wire and I'm sending the signal tonight You don't know how desperate I've become and it looks like I'm losing this fight In your world I have no meaning though I'm trying hard to understand and it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all (missing you) since you've been gone away (missing you), I ain't missing you (missing you) No matter what my friends say (missing you) there's a message that I'm sending out via telegraph to your soul and if I can't breach this distance stop this heartbreak overload I ain't missing you at all ...ow...(missing you) since you've been gone away (missing you), I ain't missing you (missing you) No matter what my friends say (missing you) I ain't missing you I ain't missing you.. I can't lie to myself And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight I ain't missing you at all I ain't missing you...missing you I ain't missing you, oh no I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you.. Everytime I think of you, I always catch my breath.
Esta música tem um particular significado para mim. Não a ouvi na companhia de alguém, mas faz-me lembrar de uma pessoa muitissimo especial para mim.
Como esta tarde foi uma tarde de recordar coisas boas, mas que me deixaram mais uma vez com saudades dessa pessoa e dos bons momentos... aqui fica a música para a compartilhar com quem a conhece e com quem a desconhece.
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places Worn out faces Bright and early for the daily races Going no where Going no where Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression No expression Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow No tomorrow No tomorrow And I find I kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday Happy birthday And I feel the way that every child should Sit and listen Sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me No one new me Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson Look right through me Look right through me And I find I kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles its a very very Mad world Mad world Enlarging your world Mad world
Bic Runga nasceu a 13 de Janeiro de 1976, na Nova Zelândia, e é filha de um soldado maori e de uma cantora chinesa de cabaré. Os seus pais acabariam por se conhecer durante a Guerra do Vietname. E entretanto, acabariam por se mudar para a Nova Zelândia.
Bic cresceu em Christchurch rodeada de familiares vocacionados para a música e assim começou a gravar músicas com as suas irmãs Boh and Pearl, quando ela tinha apenas 4 anos de idade. A irmã mais velha é actualmente vocalista, na Nova Zelândia, de um grupo de rock, Stellar*.
Apesar do seu nome se escrever "Bic" pronuncia-se "Bec". E isto deve-se ao facto de se tratar de uma palavra chinesa sem tradução directa que significa "a cor de jade", que é susposto ser verde.
Don't stray, don't ever go away I should be much too smart for this You know it gets the better of me Sometimes, when you and I collide I fall into an ocean of you, pull me out in time Don't get me drown, let me down I say it's all because of you
And here I go, losing my control I'm practising your name so I can say it to your face It doesn't seem right, to look you in the eye Let all the things you mean to me Come tumbling out my mouth Indeed it's time to tell you why I say it's infinitely true
Chorus : Say you'll stay, don't come and go like you do Sway my way, yeah I need to know all about you
And there's no cure, and no way to be sure Why everything's turned inside out Instilling so much doubt It makes me so tired. I feel so uninspired My head is battling with my heart My logic has been torn apart And now it all turns sour Come sweeten every afternoon
[Chorus] x 2
It's all because of you, it's all because of you
Now it all turns sour, come sweeten every afternoon It's time to tell you why I say it's infinitely true
[Chorus] x 2
It's all because of you, it's all because of you It's all because of you
