Chill Out

Choose Love

Faço deste blog o meu canto...o meu ponto de abrigo, onde dedico a admiração que sinto por uma pessoa. Conheço-o a algum tempo...desde conhecer até sentir algo de especial não demorou muito tempo. Não sei explicar, mas creio que tudo fluiu de forma natural.

Circunstâncias da vida levaram-nos para longe...mas conseguimos ficar amigos.

Muitas vezes não consigo ter uma conversa em condições, muitas vezes não sei o que falar e não sei porquê...sei que fico preocupada por pensar que ele pode achar que sou uma pessoa pouca interessante, vazia de conteúdo...

Sinto-me triste por mim...

Acho que estou a perder tudo...

Queen of Hollywood

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

(x2)

Friends still talk at the corners.

She's the Queen of Hollywood

I am believer

SITTING, WAITING, WISHING

Sinto-me triste...um vazio enorme

Quero muito ser feliz...E não sou capaz

Tenho dias que sinto que só há problemas a mais na minha vida.

Neste momento, só queria um bocadinho de Sol na minha vida, algo que me deixasse imensamente feliz e com vontade de ir atrás dos meus objectivos

She Sells Sanctuary

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.

Belíssima música :)

So Nice

Vou sonhar....

Vou acreditar...mesmo em algo que não existe

Eu vou conseguir...

Eu sei que sim!

Foundations

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

Chasing Pavements

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

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.

Feliz Natal

Por motivos pessoais tenho andado afastada do blog. Não tenho podido actualizar com novas descbertas ou partilhas minhas do mundo musical.

Quero deixar a minha mensagem de Feliz Natal e desejar a todas as pessoas um BOM ANO NOVO cheio de tudo o que desejarem.

Deixo um vídeo de umas vozes que acho fabulosas e super relaxantes...Espero que gostem!


FELIZ NATAL E BOM ANO NOVO

Sometimes when I 'm dreaming

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

Air on a G String

Sou uma adepta de música clássica ;)

E estava a "passear" pela net, quando descobri uma versão do conhecido clássico "Air on a G String" de Bach, tocada por Tim Parsons & Nick Reynolds.

Espero que gostem :)

Ordinary people

Verse 1]

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

I just called to say I love you

É difícil estar longe de uma pessoa de quem gostamos...Se possível gostamos de estar junto da pessoa nas suas diversas formas.

Na impossibilidade de tudo...da presença, das conversas, dos risos...

fica uma música que gosto e que me ajuda a levar até junto dessa pessoa.


Às vezes, tenho raiva de ser assim...

The sound of the silence

Miserlou

Quadro Nuevo:

Mulo Francel (saxofone, clarinete)

Cecilia

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

Missing you - Tina Turner

"Missing You"

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.


ESTOU COM MUITAS SAUDADES

Missing you

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.

Espero que gostem ;)

Mad World

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

Big Runga - Parte I

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.

Possui três álbuns lançados:

• Drive, de 1997;

• Beautiful Collision, de 2002;

• Birds, de 2005.

Bic Runga

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
