Arcade Fire - We Exist (Live from Capitol Studios)

Arcade Fire - We Exist
Walking around
Head full of sound
Acting like
We don't exist

Walk in a room
Stare after you
Talking like
We don't exist

But we exist

Doubt it's true
I'm different from you
But tell me why they treat me like this?

You turned away
What would I say
You're not the first to a kiss

Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
As you walk in a room
Tell them it's fine
Stare if you like
Just let me through
Just let us through

Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

Down on my knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist

Doubting is fine
I'm used to them now
But tell me why they treat me like this?

Is it because I do it like this?

Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
As you walk in a room
Tell them it's fine
Stare if you like
Just let me through
Just let us through

Let them stare! Let them stare!
That's all they can do!
But it's not fair!

Never looked so scared
Will you watch us now?

You know we're breaking through
But will you watch us?
What are you so afraid to lose?

Down on my knees
Begging us, please
Praying that we don't exist

Down on my knees
Begging us, please
Praying that we don't exist

But we exist!
We exist!

Down on my knees
Begging us, please
Praying that we don't exist

Down on my knees
Begging us, please
Praying that we don't exist

But we exist!
We exist!

Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Editors no Coliseu de Lisboa! Mais noites assim, please!

Ontem, felizmente assisti a um grande concerto dos Editors no Coliseu de Lisboa. Grande noite, de muitas emoções e sorrisos. Haja mais assim, porque só me faz bem ao corpo e à alma! Os interessantes belgas Balthazar a abrir o concerto, para depois Tom Smith e os seus Editors arrasarem com o exacto alinhamento (lá consegui ficar com mais uma set list!!!) que tocaram no Porto, E, foi melhor ainda, porque vi o concerto mesmo juntinho ao palco! Os Editors já começam a ter uma dimensão tal, que lhes permite deixar muitas grandes músicas de fora! Venha o próximo para matar saudades, reviver emoções e, porque não, tocar aquelas que ficaram por tocar!

Obrigado Tom Smith! Obrigado EDITORS! Deixo-vos uma amostra do que foi... SUGAR!

Editors - Sugar
Don’t leave
Don’t leave
I want you to realize when I’m gone
My my, my my
You are the only thing I want to hold

There’s sugar on your soul
You’re like no one, I know
You’re a life from another world

You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you

Don’t leave
Don’t leave
When you’re lost in the moment, I am in home
I tried, I tried
To make you realize when I’m gone, gone, gone

There’s sugar on your soul
You’re like no one I know
You’re a life from another world

You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you

It breaks my heart to love you

There’s sugar on your soul
There’s sugar on your soul

There’s sugar on your soul
You’re like no one I know
You’re a life from another world

You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you

Don’t leave
Don’t leave
I want you to realize when I’m gone

Linkin Park - What I´ve Done (Live in Red Square)

Respirar fundo e, E-N-E-R-G-I-A!

Linkin Park - What I've Done

In this farewell

There's no blood

There's no alibi

?cause I've drawn regret

From the truth

Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come

And wash away

[chorus]

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out

What I've become

Erase myself

And let go of

What I've done

Put to rest

What you thought of me

While I clean this slate

With the hands

Of uncertainty

So let mercy come

And wash away

[chorus]

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out

What I've become

Erase myself

And let go of

What I've done

For what I've done

I'll start again

And whatever thing may come

Today this ends

I'm forgiving

What I've done

I'll face myself

To cross out

What I've become

Erase myself

And let go of

What I've done

(Na, Na, Na)

 

What I've done (Na, Na, Na)

I'm forgiving what I've done (Na, Na, Na)

The Strokes - You Only Live Once (Live)

Energia...
Esta música começa logo tão bem... "Some people think they're always right..."

The Strokes - You Only Live Once

Some people think they're always right

Others are quiet and uptight

Others they seem so very nice nice nice nice (oh-ho)

Inside they might feel sad and wrong (oh no)

 

Twenty-nine different attributes

Only seven that you like (oh-oh)

Twenty ways to see the world (oh-ho)

Twenty ways to start a fight (oh-ho)

 

Oh don't don't don't get out

I can't see the sunshine

I'll be waiting for you, baby

Cause I'm through

Sit me down

Shut me up

I'll calm down

And I'll get along with you

 

Oh Men don't notice what they got

Women think of that a lot

One thousand ways to please your man (oh-ho)

Not even one requires a plan (I know)

 

And countless odd religions, too

It doesn't matter which to choose (oh no)

One stubborn way to turn your back (oh-ho)

This I've tried, and now refuse (oh-ho)

 

Oh don't don't don't get out

I can't see the sunshine (ohh)

I'll be waiting for you, baby

Cause I'm through

Sit me down

Shut me up

I'll calm down

And I'll get along with you

Alright

Shut me up

Shut me up

And I'll get along with you

The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes (Live at Montreux 2008)

Energia para início de semana...

The Raconteurs - Steady As She Goes
Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

So steady as she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had too much to think, now you need a wife

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Well here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell

So steady as she goes

When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue

Then you'll get along
Then you'll get along

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Well here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell

So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

Settle for a girl (settle for a girl), neither up or down (neither up or down)
Sell it to the crowd (sell it to the crowd) that is gathered round (that is gathered round)

Settle for a girl (settle for a girl), neither up or down (neither up or down)
Sell it to the crowd (sell it to the crowd) that is gathered round (that is gathered round)

So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?

Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?

Steady as she goes

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

Hoje deu-me para aqui, porque energia precisa-se e, porque não dizer, i´m a Lonely Boy! Oh oh oh oooooooooohhhh! Atentem como se dança...

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy
Well I'm so above you and it's clean to see
But I came to love you in a way
So you pull my heart out, and I don't mind bleeding
Any of the time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting

Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well, your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should have done you just the same
But I came to love you, am I born to bleed?
Any of the time you keep me waiting, waiting, waiting

Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting
I'm a lonely boy
I'm a lonely boy
Oh oh oh I got a love that keeps me waiting

The Strokes - Last Night (Live@Oxegen Festival July 8, 2006)

Energia precisa-se...

The Strokes - Last Night
Last night she said
Oh, Baby, I feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, baby, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door

Well, I've been in town
For just about fifteen whole minutes now
Oh, Baby, I feel so down
And I don't know why
I keep walking for miles

But the people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they can't understand
Your grandsons, they won't understand
On top of this I ain't ever gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, Baby, don't feel so down
Oh, and turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, Baby, I'm gonna be alright
It was a great big lie
'Cus I left that night, yeah

Oh, people they don't understand
No, girlfriends, they don't understand
In spaceships, they won't understand
And me, I ain't ever gonna understand

Last night she said
Oh, Baby, I feel so down
She had turned me off
When I feel left out
So I, I turned around
Oh, little girl, I don't care no more
I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door, yeah

Of Monsters and Men - Six Weeks (Live on KEXP)

ENERGIA!

Of Monsters and Men - Six Weeks
Slow, slow me down,
Her blood, on my bones.
Let go, lay to rest.
We fall, we fall, we fall,
We fall to the ground.

Sleep, sleep all night,
While the young, they wait alone.
So get up, shake the rust.
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl,
We crawl on the ground.

Alone, i fight these animals.
Alone, until i get home.

A wolf, wolf and i,
We share the same cold meal.
I float on, float on down.
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

Alone, i fight these animals.
Alone, until i get home.
[x4]

Coming back, i'm coming back.
Coming back, i'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.

Coming back, i'm coming back.
Coming back, i'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home.
[x3]

Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror Live@Pink Pop

Após apanhar um acidente na A5, preciso de energia extra e nada como começar o dia com um Rearviewmirror dos Pearl Jam. Reparei que ao escrever o primeiro post do Algures onde apenas eu sei... no longínquo ano de 2008, estava a ouvir esta mesma música. Curiosidade apenas...

Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
Enmity gauged, united by fear
S'pose to endure what I could not forgive...

I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things (4x)
Clearer (2x)
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...

I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...

Saw things so much clearer }
Once you, once you... } (3x)
Rearview mirror }

Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...

O sol está aí...

E para ser sincero, é bom ver o sol de volta e senti-lo na pele, porque muitas vezes sentimo-nos revigorados e com uma nova energia para enfrentar o dia-a-dia e os seus desafios! E bem tenho precisado...

Depeche Mode - Miles Away/The truth is - Live@Madison Square Garden, New York City - 8/4/09

Mais uma vez... Energia é precisa... e quem melhor do que os Depeche Mode para a gerarem...

Não sendo das letras mais profundas dos Depeche Mode, em poucas palavras transmitem o que se pretende e o ritmo é simplesmente fantástico.  

Apesar de gostar de algumas novas bandas que vão surgindo, continuo muito "preso" ao passado e a bandas que vieram dos anos 80 (e de outros anos, mas os 80...). U2, James, Depeche Mode, entre outras... e agora:

The Truth is... You´re Miles Away...

It's one of those conversations
We've, we've had them before
The ones that leave you empty
And wanting for more

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

Excuse me for my hesitation
I've met you before
Your face seems so familiar
And longing for more

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

With all your superstitions
And empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive

Life, it has it's limitations
We all have our needs
Love would be the only answer
It lies underneath

Your eyes they tell me something
That I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth
And the truth is
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away
You're miles away

Para descer à terra... A música consegue fazê-lo... Editors - Munich (Live@Lowlands)

Porque energia é precisa...
Porque estou cansado...
Porque preciso de descer à terra... e a música consegue fazê-lo...
PS: Uma boa maneira de nos libertarmos aos 3.25min...
