Para THEsintoXXicar do ar poluído

Salvo melhor opinião... as lições dos Young Marble Giants, a concisão dos Durutti Column, a dose certa – mínima, evitando a ameaçadora overdose – dos Everything But The Girl, a atmosfera dos AC Marias, umas guitarras trazendo o melhor de Tom Verlaine (Television) e... algum Herbert... Em canções pop de cerca de 3 minutos. The xx (Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim, Baria Qureshi, Jamie Smith), no tema Islands do primeiro álbum do grupo, e até agora único, xx, de 2009.




I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spend my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Going back to where I've been
I'm froze by desire
No need to leave

Where would I be
If this were to go under
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out                                   [x2]
So now I'll never explore

One of these is old

Brian Eno (Some of them are old) revisto por St. Vincent

St. Vincent












Brian Eno



St. Vincent - Some of Them Are Old (Brian Eno Cover) (Live at Sundance) by TwentyFourBit.com


St. Vincent - Some of Them Are Old (Brian Eno Cover) (Live at Burgundy Stain Sessions) by TwentyFourBit.com


E o original (do álbum Here Come the Warm Jets, 1974)




People come and go
And forget to close the door,
And leave their stains and cigarette butts trampled on the floor,
And when they do, remember me, remember me.

Some of them are old,
Some of them are new,
Some of them will turn up when you least expect them to,
And when they do, remember me, remember me.

Lucy you're my girl,
Lucy you're a star,
Lucy please be still and hide your madness in a jar,
But do beware: it will follow you, it will follow you.

Some of them are old
But it would help if you could smile,
To earn a crooked sixpence you'll walk many crooked miles,
And when you do, remember me, remember me.

Bach in Asia?

É publicidade a um telemóvel, de exterior feito de madeira, mas... publicidade da melhor. O 10º andamento da cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147 tocado pela gravidade terrestre.
