We all have dreams of Leaving (ou: Um dia...)

I got that leaving feeling and this time it's here to stay
I've been weighing up the pulling and pushing me away
The past is just so heavy, but it's something that I can't leave
And this future is so uncertain, it pushes me to my knees

is that your heart talking or just that befuddled mind?
The people that you love they change when you leave them behind

But this road that is pulling is wearied down to a thread
And if I don't start climbing pretty soon it'll be over my head

We all have dreams of leaving we all want to make a new start
Go and pack that little suitcase with the pieces of our hearts
All those worries and those sorrows, we can just toss them away
Buy a coffee and a paper and go step onto a train

But I've been to long wondering, limping around this town
with everything that is pulling me, is pulling me further down

Go and make all your excuses and say all your goodbye's
But take a look in the mirror it's the hardest one you'll ever find
All those worries and those sorrows, you can just toss them away
Go and find a new tomorrow and forget about your yesterdays
go and pack your gears and kiss your mum goodbye
leave the keys on the nail with the sadness that's in your eyes

maybe tomorrow, today looks like it's bringing rain
and I'll leave everything in order, don't want nothing standing in my way
there are jobs that need attending and the logs that are waiting to stock
and I'll leave everything in order, don't want nothing gonna hold me back

Diferentes estilos musicais….

Depois da guitarra e sons guturais de Ali Farka Toure, em In The Heart of the Moon (ouve-se), da música de discoteca de Rinocerose, Installation Sonore (passa bem o tempo), lá veio a voz de Staples e a música melancólica dos Tindersticks (Best Of). Este best é quase igual ao meu álbum preferido da banda, Donkeys, e nem o segundo Cd de versões e afins surpreende muito. Eles são bons, mas isso já sabia. Aqui, no blog, como já tinha posto uma das minhas músicas tristes preferidas (aqui), resolvi, agora, deixar uma das alegres. Aqui está…

Tindersticks, Working For The Man: Best Of, Can We Start Again

No reino da música….

as audições têm estado mais calmas. Mesmo assim, ouvi três álbuns novos. Finlay Quaye, que não gostei; The Automatic, rock fácil e ligeiro, com refrões(?!?) que ficam na cabeça, logo…bom; e Stuart A. Staples, a voz dos Tindersticks, com músicas muito similares à banda onde é vocalista, mas, mesmo assim, com um bom álbum, que se vai gostando mais à medida que as audições se vão repetindo. Era para por um teledisco dos Automatic, mas não encontrei das músicas que mais gostei, assim aqui fica That Leaving Feeling…
