Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - This Summer's Been Good from the Start

Depois de uns dias sem postar, voltei.
Ontem eu estava procurando algum vídeo dessa canção e não achei, daí construí meu próprio vídeo, que se não é uma maravilha de produção, pelo menos serviu para que eu postasse a música pra vocês, de quebra acompanhada da letra.
Ela faz parte do sétimo disco da banda, o maravilhoso Blue Trees, de 2000.

Well this summer's been good from the start
And it looks like we never shall part

Where are we going ? I don't know
How do we get there ? So and so

Well this summer's been good from the start
Yes, this summer's been good from the start

Well we slept underneath all the stars
And we talked about girls seen from afar

What's her name now ? I don't know
How do I get to know ?

Well this summer's been good from the start
Yes this summer's been good from the start

And years from now why am I dreaming
Of a time when I'll be leaving
Yesterday has not gone easy
But it's you I believe in

Well we're drinking the dew off the leaves
And the sun's come easy like you would not believe

Where are we going? I don't know
How do we get there? So and so

Well this summer's been good from the start
Yes this summer's been good from the start.

A-HA - Foot Of The Mountain

Por fim, a maravilhosa canção que leva o nome do álbum.
Vai ser arrepiante ver e ouvir isso ao vivo, logo mais.
Bom, não me restam mais palavras, agora é só esperar chegar a hora de sentir o A-HA tomar conta de nossos corações, presentes no espetáculo.
Até mais, galera!

Keep your clever lines
Hold your easy rhymes
Silence everything
Silence always wins
It's a perfect alibi
There's no need to analyze
It will be all right
Through the longest night
Just silence everything

But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and never come back

Learn from my mistake
Leave what others take
Speak when spoken to
And do what others do
Silence always wins
So silence everything

It will be all right
In the morning light
Just silence everything

But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could clear us a yard in the back
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and never come back
We could stay there and never come back

You know it
We could live tonight

But we could live by the foot of the mountain
We could make us a white picket fence
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
we could stay there and see how it ends
We could stay there and see how it ends

A-HA - The Bandstand

É hoje!
Às 22h, estarei frente a frente com a maior banda norueguesa de todos os tempos.
Como fora prometido, fechando as postagens que passeiam pela discografia da banda, hoje vos trago o último disco até então, lançado oficialmente: Foot of the Mountain, de 2009.
Um álbum recheado de canções fora de série, relembrando os melhores tempos da banda, lá pela década de 80.
Não hesitei em escolher as duas canções que certamente abrirão o show de logo mais, que são perfeitas em todos os aspectos.

you stand in the doorway
a block up the street
ringing the doorbell
there´s tapping of feet
high yellow hair
and worn brown suit
enter,and break the news

now tell me the story
i give it the time
no need to worry
everything´s fine
i´ll take you away
from this name-calling scene
sure...you can bring your magazine

cold and windblown on the old bandstand
you and i walking hand in hand
a neon glow shining
down on us
don´t wait up for us
don´t wait up for us

now tell me the story
i give it the time
when you stop looking
then you will find
i´ll take you away
from this name calling scene
just bring your magazine


cold and windblown on the old bandstand
you and i walking hand in hand
a neon glow shining
down on us
don´t wait up for us
don´t wait up for us

A-HA - Keeper of the Flame

A segunda postagem traz um som mais romântico do disco, que inclusive é recheado de canções assim.
Os arranjos são sublimes, como sempre, e a voz do Morten impecável.

Give it up for rock'n roll
Give it up for rock
Give it up for how it made you feel

Give it up for vinyl days
Kicking back from school
Turning out to make it real sweet

Give it up for rock'nroll
Give it up for bob
Give it up for how it made you see

Give it up for silvertone
Give it up for golden
Adolescent daydreams

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
A plan evolves too grand to entertain

Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You could've been the keeper of the flame

Incidental incidents
Instrumental instruments
Swallowed by the place from which you came

Monumental monuments
Sentimental sentiments
You should've been the keeper of the flame

Give it up for summer days
Laying in the grass
Everything is happening in your head
You raise your fist up in the air
Clench your teeth and say
Four more years and I'm outa here

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Four more years and I am outa here!

A-HA - Analogue

O penúltimo dia de postagens do A-HA, também coincidindo com a véspera de minha viagem pro show, traz o penúltimo disco da banda, até então.
Eu gosto bastante do Analogue, lançado em 2005. É um disco ousado, assim como fora o anterior, porém mais próximo do ponto certo, encontrado justamente no disco posterior, sobre o qual falaremos amanhã.
A canção que abre o dia é a homônima Analogue, que inclusive eles irão tocar amanhã: muito legal.

Come back, my darling one
I'm calling on you
The road ahead is long
And I must warn you

I wonder
Where did she go?
If I failed you
I tell you right now

All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you

Come back, my fallen son
Don't let them fool you
Cos when the day is done
They’ll never move you

Lay down your senseless pride
(Got more than you)
Put out your mournful tones
I tell you right now

All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel
Feel

(Lay down your senseless pride
You travelled once too often, yeah)

I tell you right now
All I want you to know; I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel

All I want you to know I love you
All I need is the time to show you how I feel

(Come back, my analogue
I hardly knew ya
the high end sloping off
a thing of beauty
take hold, my little ones
my minor key sonatas
show forth your looping grace
no one here can take your place)

A-HA - Forever not Yours

Fechando o dia com a segunda canção do álbum Lifelines, trago outra bela música.
Os arranjos são bem interessantes (com destaque pro teclado, com som de piano, ao fundo), a batida bem envolvente e ela certamente fica como um dos grandes hits do A-HA, nessa década que se passou.

Hold me tight, this is a lonely night
And I’ve hurt you baby, 'cause you're my light
Make me strong, just like you make me weak
And your hands reach out for me
Even in your sleep

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

Memories they keep coming through
The good ones hurt more than the bad ones do
The days were hot, and the nights were deep
And I miss you, baby
I miss you, baby

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
It won't be long now
Forever not
Forever not yours

I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours
I'll soon be gone now
Forever not yours
It won't be long now
Forever not yours

A-HA - Lifelines

Começando as postagens do dia, mais um disco, o Lifelines, de 2002.
Um disco mais uma vez arriscado, que apresenta certa queda em relação ao anterior, mas um bom disco. O sétimo na carreira da banda.
A primeira canção que posto é a mais bela do álbum, a homônima Lifelines.
O vídeo é dividido em duas partes, uma traz a canção na versão original e a outra é numa versão um pouco diferente.
As imagens são de um filme norueguês, de 1991, de 12 minutos de duração, dirigido por Morten Skallerud: A Year Along the Abandoned Road.

One time to know that it's real
One time to know how it feels
that's all
One call
Your voice on the phone
One place
a moment alone
that's all
What do you see, what do you know?
One sign: what do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if it hurts, what then?
What do we do, What do you say?
Don't throw your lifelines away

One time
just once in my life
yeah One time
to know it can happen twice
One shot
of a clear blue sky
one look
I see no reasons why we can't
One chance
to go back to the point
where everything starts
one chance
to keep it together when
things fall apart
Just one sign
to make us believe it's true
What do you see,
Where do we go?
One sign: how do we grow?
by letting your lifelines show
What if we do, what now?
What do you say?
how do i know?
Don't let your lifeline go

A-HA - Summer Moved On

Fecho o dia com a segunda canção, porém de uma forma brilhante, não apenas pela qualidade dela, que é incontestável, mas pelas condições climáticas encontradas pelo Morten, para interpretá-la, devido o frio intenso da Alemanha, em 2001. É uma aula de falsetes e explosão vocal, capazes de arrepiar tranquilamente qualquer um que esteja habituado a ouvir os mais conceituados vocalistas do Planeta.
Os 20 segundos de "Stay", no refrão, lá pelos 3:30 do vídeo, representam muito bem a perfeição da voz desse cidadão.

Summer moved on
And the way it goes
You can't tag along
Honey moved out
And the way it went
Leaves no doubt

Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask

Stay
Don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
With nobody else around

Friendships move on
And until the day
You can't tag along
Handshakes unfold
And the way it goes
No one knows

Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask

Stay
Don't just walk away
And leave me another day

Stay
A day just like today
With nobody else around

Stay
Don't just walk away
With nobody else around

Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask

Stay
Don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today

Stay
Don't just walk away
With nobody else around

Summer moved on

A-HA - Velvet

E hoje é dia de entrarmos na segunda fase do A-HA, que após sete anos sem gravar nenhum disco, resolveram lançar esta obra-prima: Minor Earth Major Sky, de 2000.
O disco quebra com toda aquela expectativa de que a banda não mais voltasse ou viesse sem o impacto causado 15 anos antes.
Desconheço uma canção que seja mediana nesse disco, pois adoro todas elas, daí a dificuldade em selecionar duas pra hoje, mas abro as postagens do dia com essa que é disparada a mais bela do álbum.
O clipe é intrigante e fica a critério de cada um interpretá-lo da melhor maneira possível.

Her skin is like velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she's smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings

Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're together
I'm always alone
But hear how she sings

Her skin is like velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can't own

Her skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
Hear how she sings...
Yaeh, she sings
And hear how she sings
Hear how she

A-HA - Move to Memphis

Como segunda postagem do dia, uma canção absolutamente diferente da anterior. Um contrabaixo maravilhoso, bem acima dos demais instrumentos, uma guitarra bem "swingada" e uma batida pra lá de dançante. Não é uma obra-prima, não está entre as melhores deles, longe disso, mas é de se tirar o chapéu esses detalhes, por terem sido bem colocados, segundo a proposta que eles tinham ao gravá-la.

Walked around no one around
You were the one who taught me
better
This old town brings me down
You were the one who told me
You've got to

Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Move to Memphis and follow you
Trace that highway
Down to your doorway
Move tho Memphis and be with you

On the day you walked away
I was the one who said
You'd better stick around stay in town
You were the one who told me
You've got to

Move to Memphis
That's what I'll do
Chase the shadow that follows you
Trace that highway
Down to your doorway
Move to Memphis
And be with you

That's what I'll do
Move to Memphis to be with you
I'm gonna be with you
I'm gonna be with you
Gonna move to Memphis!

A-HA - Dark is the Night for All

Abrindo o dia com mais um disco, o quarto na carreira da banda: Memorial Beach, de 1993.
É o álbum mais fraco dessa primeira fase (se é que podemos dividir a discografia em duas partes). Confesso que não gostei muito dessa tentativa deles em arriscar, mas tudo bem, o disco tem boas canções e um exemplo disso é essa que trago agora. Bela, como já é de costume, com o Morten esticando a voz nas alturas e os sintetizadores muito bem colocados nos arranjos.

It’s time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
Oh don’t you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

It’s time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all

It’s time … yeah, to break free
It’s time to pull away
For you and me

It’s time … yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery

It’s time we said goodbye
Time for you and I
Oh don’t you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

A-HA - Early Morning

A segunda canção do dia, também desse quarto álbum, é bastante especial pra mim, por ser uma das que mais me recordo daquela época e por ainda ser uma das que mais me tocam, pela suavidade, melodia e por esse contrabaixo belíssimo que segue durante a canção inteira.
Esse vídeo é da turnê pelo América do Sul, em 1998.

Early morning
8:00 precise
I see the lonely
August sun arise.

Say you know you will
Move like you do
Out in the fields...
Waited the whole night through
Early morning...
Early morning...
Yeah...

Ran the whole way
Down to the tracks
Through the doorway
Then a last look back.

Say you know you will
Save me like you do
Out in the fields...
I've waited the whole night through
Early morning...
Early morning...
Yeah...

Out in the fields...

I climbed all the stairways
To find the rooftop clear
Got a shotgun
Lying with me here.

Say you know you will
Save me like you do
Out in the fields...
You know how it feels, yeah...
Early morning...
Early morning...

Early morning
8:00 precise...

A-HA - Crying In The Rain

Hoje é dia de entrarmos no quarto disco da banda e primeiro da década de 90, o sucesso East of the Sun, West of the Moon, de 1990.
Um disco repleto de excelentes canções, que também me deixou confuso na hora de optar por apenas duas, mas como aqui a coisa é bem pessoal, optei pelas duas faixas iniciais, que estão seguramente em meu Top 10 da banda.
Essa canção que abre o dia foi originalmente gravada pelos Everly Brothers, como single, em 1962, numa versão mais simples, bem folk, diferente do que o A-HA fez 20 anos atrás, com sample de som de chuva e demais acréscimos intrumentais.
Sem dúvidas uma música lindíssima.

I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting in me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain

If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Only heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday, when my crying is done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but 'till then
Darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see

Someday when my crying is done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool but till then
Darling, you never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain ...

A-HA - You Are the One

Como o A-HA mescla muito bem a melodia com a levada dançante, achei interessante trazer na segunda postagem, diferente da primeira, uma canção que tivesse como principal característica essa sonoridade, digna dos melhores setlists de boates dos anos 80, também presente no terceiro disco da banda.
Impossível ficar parado!

You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call again, but there's no one in
Don't know where, with whom you've been
But I do love you
Anyway you want me to

You are the one now the state I'm in!
Catching you was so hard
I fought for you, did you let me win?
Don't even care
You don't care where I've been
But I do love you
Anyway you want me to

I've done all I can do
All the letters I've sent through
Put my life in the palms of your hands
Maybe now you can see
That it's got to be me
But if you leave me
I'll understand, yeah
If you leave me, I'll understand

Girl!!!
You are the one who has done me in
Guess you knew from the start
I call your friends, but there's no one in
Catching you is so hard
You are the one!

A-HA - Stay on These Roads

Hoje é dia do terceiro disco, Stay on These Roads, de 1988. Um disco maravilhoso, recheado de clássicos, o que tornou difícil a escolha de apenas dois, mas enfim, eis o primeiro deles, justamente o que leva o nome do disco.
A canção é das mais belas dos anos 80, consequentemente uma das melhore obra da banda.
Destaco, além da melodia, claro, os sons de ventos que aparecem ao fundo: espetáculo.

The cold has a voice
It talks to me
Stillborn by choice
It airs not need
To hold

Oh Old man feels the cold...
Oh baby don't
'cause I've been told:
Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on...my love
We shall meet, I know
I know

Where join should rain
These skies restrain
Shadow your love...'
The voice trails off again
The voice trails off again

Oh Old man feels the cold
Oh baby don't!
Cause I've been told

Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on... My love
You feel so weak, be strong
Stay on, stay on
We shall meet, I know, I know
I know, my love, I know

(feels the cold)

Winter's gone, I'm on my own

Stay on these roads
We shall meet, I know
Stay on... my love
We will meet, I know
So stay on...I know
Stay my love, stay on
We will meet, I know, I know

A-HA - The Weight Of The Wind

Fechando o dia, outra bela canção do disco, se não a mais bela.
Há 20 anos, percebíamos uma voz mais potente do Morten, como podemos observar no áudio original do disco ou em gravações da época, mas hoje nota-se que a voz já não é mais a mesma, mas como gênio que é, ele conseguiu adaptar-se á idade e manter uma interpretação sem tanta extensão no refrão, porém com uma suavidade que dá uma beleza diferente, como vemos nesse vídeo de 2005.

Your face looked new against the town
You've come to lose some memories
Like you came to touch new grounds

But you want to lose
The weight of the wind
Rests hard on your shoulders
It's bringing you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

You speak into the falling rain
Words you'd lost, but found again
I see their snakey arms entwined
So clear and cruel
In your jealous mind

But you've got to lose
The weight of the wind
Hard on your shoulders
Getting you down
The one that you love
Will never be found

A-HA - I've Been Losing You

Segundo dia de A-HA, segundo disco da banda sendo lembrado.
Scoundrel Days saiu em 1987 e trouxe uma reunião de clássicos, com menos força do que o primeiro álbum, claro, mas mantendo a originalidade em sua sonoridade.
A primeira canção do dia é belíssima, como era de se esperar e também faz parte de minha infância. Destaco o contrabaixo nela.

It wasn't the rain that washed away
Rinsed out the colours of your eyes
Putting the gun down on the bedside table
I must have realized

It wasn't the rain that made no difference
And I could have sworn it wasn't me
Yet I did it all so coldly, almost slowly
Plain for all to see

CHORUS:
Oh, come on
Please, now talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

I can still hear our screams competing
You're hissing your s's like a snake
Now in the mirror stands
Half a man I thought no one could break

It wasn't the rain that made no difference
Nervously drumming on run away
But I want the guilt to get me
Thoughts to wreck me, preying on my mind

CHORUS:
Oh, come on
Please, now talk to me
Tell me things I could find helpful
How can I stop now?
Is there nothing I can do?
I have lost my way
I've been losing you

A-HA - Hunting High and Low

Fechando o dia, a canção que traz o título do disco.
Inquestionavelmente uma das mais belas músicas pop já feitas, que foi essencial para marcar a infância e adolescência de muitos que viveram naquela época, como eu.
O clipe é belíssimo, envolvendo três grandes forças da natureza animal, mostrando os diversos meios que um homem utiliza para estar perto da mulher desejada.
Me arrepio sempre que vejo e ouço isso.

Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She sounds asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know

I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths
I'll go to hunting high and low
High
There's no end to lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess

I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths
I'll go to high and Low
High
Do you know what it means to love you?

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low

High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low

A-HA - Take on Me

Hoje inicio uma sequencia de postagens duplas, durante dez dias, que se encerrarão na véspera do show que irei: A-HA, em Recife, no dia 18 de Março.
Vou fazer uma passagem por todos os álbuns da banda, seguindo a cronologia dos mesmos.
Começo com o primeiro disco, o clássico Hunting High and Low, de 1985, que para muitos é o maior sucesso do grupo, pelo menos em termos de vendagem e premiações. A banda nunca havia feito sequer uma turnê ou lançado qualquer outro álbum quando simplesmente entrou para o segundo lugar na Inglaterra e primeiro lugar na Noruega, Áustria e Suécia, vendendo mais de 10 milhões de cópias pelo mundo. No início de 1986, a banda recebeu 11 indicações ao MTV Video Awards, ganhando oito.
Essa canção, que mescla sintetizadores, ritmo dançante e letra envolvente, traz em seu clipe uma bela obra, que condiz com toda a energia que ela passa em seus versos e harmonia. Obrigação no setlist de todo DJ que queira discotecar em qualquer boate do Planeta, mantendo originalidade e satisfação garantida do público.

We're talking away
I don't know what I'm to say
I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But I'll be stumbling anyway
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Oh the things that you say
Is it life or just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

The Decemberists - Eli, The Barrow Boy

Descobri essa banda ano passado, garimpando, buscando sonoridades bem folk, melódicas, daí cheguei até essa voz, que se não bate positivamente no primeiro contato, com certeza lhe encanta com o tempo, basta apenas o ouvinte passear pela discografia completa.
A canção é do disco Picaresque, de 2005: pra mim, o melhor de todos.

Eli, the barrowboy, you're the old town
Sells coal and marigolds and he cries out all down the day
Below the tamarac she is crying
Corn cobs and candlewax for the buying, all down the day

Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe
Made of gold and silk arabian thread
She is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove
And I must push my barrow all the day
And I must push my barrow all the day

Eli, the barrowboy, when they found him
Dressed all in corduroy, he had drowned in the river down the way
They laid his body down in a churchyard
But still when the moon is out, with his pushcart, he calls down the day

Would I could afford to buy my love a fine gown
Made of gold and silk arabian thread
But I am dead and gone and lying in a church ground
But still I push my barrow all the day
Still I push my barrow all the day

Pink Floyd - A Pillow of Winds

Com quase um ano de blog, ainda não tinha postado nada deles por aqui, então achei que hoje seria um dia bom pra isso.
Como diz um amigo meu, o PINK FLOYD deveria ser escrito sempre assim, em letras maiúsculas, representando toda a sua grandeza.
Essa canção é belíssima, se encontra no disco Meddle, de 1971, um dos clássicos da banda.
A música é toda do Gilmour e a letra é do Waters. A melodia apaixona e o slide, na guitarra, rasga o coração de quem a ouve.

A cloud of eiderdown draws around me,
Softening the sound
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And the candle dies

When night comes down you lock the door
The book falls to the floor
As darkness falls and waves roll by
The seasons change, the wind is warm

Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan
Behold a dream, the dream is gone
Green fields, a cold rain
Is falling in a golden dawn

And deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds
And I go down
Sleepy time when I lie with my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And I rise like a bird
In the haze when the first rays touch the sky
And the night winds die

Eddie Vedder - Masters of War

Ontem não tive tempo de postar nada, então pra compensar essa falta, hoje trago uma postagem que pode valer claramente por duas.
Ninguém menos que Eddie Vedder, interpretando Bob Dylan, acompanhado de Mike McCready no violão.
O concerto aconteceu em 2003, em Seattle.
A canção original se encontra no segundo disco do Dylan, o clássico The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, de 1963.

Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Eyes of Green, Green, Green

Ontem saindo pra tomar uma cervejinha com amigos, ouvimos essa canção por uma três vezes, dando um sabor especial pra noite, que viria a ser maravilhosa pelos shows que assistimos no Centro Histórico de João Pessoa.
Mas voltando a falar da canção, ela foge um pouco da maioria da proposta melancólica, em termos de sonoridade, da maioria das canções da banda.
Há uma influência evidente da música country, como se percebe na batida e nos violinos constantes, deixando um som gostoso e dançante.
Eles gravaram-na em seu último disco, o Sleep/Holiday, de 2003.

There is a girl
Well, I could love
Oh heavens, heavens above
Rush past me
And where you from?
Well like the daytime's short
The nighttime's long
Oh what the day
Won't feel the same
To knock me up again
Well would be a shame
Eyes of blue
And eyes of green green green
Eyes are haunting me
All in between

So we walked unto the sea
Just to see see see
What we could be
And we turned left
And we turned right
Kissed on the beach
And life's alright
Years from now
She'll share my name
And knocked me up again
Would be a shame
Eyes of blue
And eyes of green green green
Eyes are haunting me
All in between

Eyes of blues
Eyes of green
Eyes are haunting me
In between
Eyes of blue
Eyes of green
Eyes are haunting me
In between
Eyes of blue
Eyes of green
Eyes are haunting me
In between
Eyes of blue
Eyes of green
Eyes are haunt...
