Música Nova

Gostar de músicas pelo que soam e pelo que significam:

Family Tree – TV on the radio

Under my love
Wake up to your window
The day calls in billows
It’s echoing moonlight on to the blue nightmare of your heart
In cosy red rainbow
It’s shaking off halos
And the memory of our sacred so and so’s

Oh take my hand sweet
Complete your release and bury your feet
And married we'll be
Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see
They don’t know that we could be
That way your cradle escaped the sea
?

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

I’ll be your mind
Is it safe to say that we’ve waited patiently
Call me on time
And well go over to nanas place disgracefully
Fall into line
There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you
I'll fall by your side
?

Were laying in the shadow of your family tree
Your haunted heart and me
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

And now we’ll gather in the shadow of your family tree
In haunted harmony
Brought down by an old idea whose time has come
And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree
There's a hundred hearts soar free
Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young

O Homem centenário




O estatuto do Manoel de Oliveira é tal.. que podia entrar numa multi-ópticas e levar aquilo tudo sem lhe dizerem nada!

Yes, we can!

I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away....

Melhor maneira de descrever...:


Slow Show, by The National

Epah...

...não me venham dizer o óbvio, por favor!

Agradecido...

A Skin, A Night



Acabei de ver este DVD, que filma o processo criativo de uma banda chamada The National. (possivelmente a minha banda favorita, pelo menos os last.fm "diz" que sim...)

Da mesma forma como as músicas me entram no ouvido e me fazem sentido... assim o filme se me entranhou... Talvez pelo processo criativo, talvez pela densidade das letras, talvez pela matemática dos ritmos, talvez pelas melodias melancólicas... talvez seja mesmo por ser a minha banda favorita!



We expected something, something better than before. We expected something more 
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting, lock it up and leave

Walk away now and youre gonna start a war 

Whatever went away Ill get it over again. Ill get money, Ill get funny again 
Whatever went away Ill get it over again. Ill get money, Ill get funny again 
Walk away now and youre gonna start a war 

We expected something, something better than before. We expected something more 
We were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now 
We were always weird but I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now 
Walk away now and youre gonna start a war 

Whatever went away Ill get it over again. Ill get money, Ill get funny again 
Whatever went away Ill get it over again. Ill get money, Ill get funny again 
Walk away now and youre gonna start a war 
Walk away now and youre gonna start a war

Living...

Um bom filme...
Um bom chocolate quente...
Uma boa companhia...
Um sorriso...
Um livro...
Uma grande música...

Life is simple!

It's the living that's tricky..
