linda perhacs – (Hey Now) who really cares, 1970


//-----

Been coming down for a long time
Changes coming down on me
Can't seem to carry 'em all now
Been wishing there was someone else I could be

Hey now, who really cares
Hey, won't somebody listen
Let me say what's been on my mind
Can I bring it out to you
I need someone to talk to
And no one else would spare me the time

I used to think of ferris wheel light sounds
The friday hum of neons and blue
But now they're like circular cages
Of graded tin and rusted wind

Hey now, who really cares
Hey, won't somebody listen
Let me say what's been on my mind
Can I bring it out to you
I need someone to talk to
And no one else would spare me the time

let me go, let me go, let me go - jason molina, 2006


//-----

Wait behind
Wait behind
Wait behind

Shadows still with us
The tides are with us
Silent sorrow with us
As long as there's no forgiveness
Wait behind

Owl above places of the dead
And I have to believe everything she said
As long as there's no forgiveness
Wait behind

Hymns still close to your ears
That you can still hear
Graves still close to the water
Moon still walking the shore
That mule's head still in the sycamore
Waiting behind
Let me go, let me go, let me go

So I can wait behind

a noite do meu amor, todos os olhos, 1973

//-----

Hoje eu quero a rosa mais linda que houver
E a primeira estrela que vier
Para enfeitar a noite do meu bem

Hoje eu quero paz de criança dormindo
E o abandono de flores se abrindo
Para enfeitar a noite do meu bem

Quero a alegria de um barco voltando
Quero ternura de mãos se encontrando
Para enfeitar a noite do meu bem

Ah! Eu quero amor, o amor mais profundo
Eu quero toda beleza do mundo
Para enfeitar a noite do meu bem

Quero a alegria de um barco voltando
Quero ternura de mãos se encontrando
Para enfeitar a noite do meu bem

Ah! Como esse bem demorou a chegar
Eu já nem sei se terei no olhar
Toda a ternura que eu quero te dar

porque não me vês, por este rio acima, 1982

//-----

Meu amor adeus
Tem cuidado
Se a dor é um espinho
Que espeta sozinho
Do outro lado
Meu bem desvairado
Tão aflito
Se a dor é um dó
Que desfaz o nó
E desata um grito
Um mau olhado
Um mal pecado
E a saudade é uma espera
É uma aflição
Se é Primavera
É um fim de Outono
Um tempo morno
É quase Verão
Em pleno Inverno
É um abandono

Porque não me vês
Maresia
Se a dor é um ciúme
Que espalha um perfume
Que me agonia
Vem me ver amor
De mansinho
Se a dor é um mar
Louco a transbordar
Noutro caminho
Quase a espraiar
Quase a afundar
E a saudade é uma espera
É uma aflição
Se é Primavera
É um fim de Outono
Um tempo morno
É quase Verão
Em pleno Inverno
É um abandono

Red House Painters - Silly Love Songs (letra de Paul & Linda McCartney)

//-----


You'd think that people would've had enough
Of silly love songs
I look around and I see
It isn't so
Some people want to fill the world
With silly love songs

What's wrong with that?
Ohhhh, how I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me
Now can you see
She gave me more
She gave love to me

What's wrong with that?
Ohhhh, how I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again

How can I tell you about
My love one
How can I tell you about
My love one
How can I tell you about
My love one
Hooooowwwww can I tell you
My, my, my
How can I tell you, you
Hooooowwwww can I tell you
My, my, my, my-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i
Ohhhhhhh, hoooooowwwww, ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhOHHHohhhh
Tell you, my, my
Can I, tell you
My love one

stereophonics - nothing compares to you

//-----


It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant-but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby, oh where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I see
but they'd only remind me of you
So I went to the doctor guess what he told me
-guess what he told me
he said boy you better try to have fun
no matter what you do,
but he's a fool

'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
all died when you went
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try

nothing compares
nothing compares to you

Chelsea Wolfe - Flatlands

//-----


I want flatlands
I never cared about money and all its friends
I want flatlands
I want flatlands
I don't want precious stones
I never cared about anything you've ever owned
I want flatlands
I want simplicity
I need your arms wrapped hard around me
I want open plains and scattered trees
I want flower fields
I want salty seas
I want flatlands soft and steady breeze
bringing scents of lined-up orchard trees
dripping heavy with pears and dancing leaves
I want flatlands
will you go there with me
when it's said in the dark and you know it's always there
when it's dead in our heart but your mind is unafraid
when it's said in the dark and you know it's never coming back
when it's there in your heart in your mind you set it free

Nara Leão - Soneto (letra de Chico Buarque de Hollanda)

//-----


Por que me descobriste no abandono
Com que tortura me arrancaste um beijo
Por que me incendiaste de desejo
Quando eu estava bem, morta de sono

Com que mentira abriste meu segredo
De que romance antigo me roubaste
Com que raio de luz me iluminaste
Quando eu estava bem, morta de medo

Por que não me deixaste adormecida
E me indicaste o mar, com que navio
E me deixaste só, com que saída

Por que desceste ao meu porão sombrio
Com que direito me ensinaste a vida
Quando eu estava bem, morta de frio

Shelley Duvall - He needs me

//-----

And all at once
I knew at once
I knew he needed me

Until the say I die I wonder why
I knew he needed me
It could be fantasy oh oh or maybe it's because...

He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me!

Da da da da da da da dum dat dat dat da da da

It’s like a dime a dance
I’ll take a chance I will because he needs me
No one ever asked before, before, because they never needed me
"But I do"
But he does!

Maybe it’s because he’s so alone
Maybe it’s because he’s never had a home

He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me!

For once, for once in like I felt that someone needed me
And if it turns out real
Then love can turn the wheel

Because...
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me!

He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me
He needs me!

Da da da da da da da dum dat dat dat da da da

Jackson C. Frank, Milk and Honey

//-----

Gold and silver is the autumn
Soft and tender are her skies
Yes and no are the answers
Written in my true love's eyes

Autumn's leaving and winter's coming
I think that I'll be moving along
I've got to leave her and find another
I've got to sing my heart's true song

Round and round the burning circle
All the seasons: one, two, and three
Autumn comes and then the winter
Spring is born and wanders free

Gold and silver burn my autumns
All too soon they'd fade and die
And then, oh there are no others
Milk and honey were their lies

Vashti Bunyan, Love Song
Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind

//-----


I love your eyes when you look away
Thinking somewhere else of what ought to be
When they're suddenly blue for a moment of time
Then the colour goes when you look at me

I love your hands as a part of you
As they write a word just by staying still
When you talk they move, painting what you say
So i understand more than words can tell

I love your hair in the dark it's soft
In the light it moves, red and green are brown
All the time it takes for a night to pass
And a lifetime grows as the day comes down

I love you now as you don't love me
I can't let you know you're too far away
But i wonder now just what did you see
When you looked at me in that loveless way

Winter comes and snow
I can't marry you, you know
Without you the winter grows
I can't marry you, you know

Love me the way i love you
Love me the way i love you

Take a year in your hands
You can find another man
Let your unloved parts get loved
I will be your man

Love me the way i love you
Love me the way i love you

Places you should be afraid
Into the river we will wade

Love me the way i love you
Love me the way i love you

The Best Person I Know,
Broken Glass Ep., 2011

//-----


You're the best person I know
And as far as other people go
There's no one else I'd rather sit next to
There's nowhere else I'd rather be when I'm with you

Cause your the best person i know, it's true
All my best times are with you

Could hang around with you all day
No matter if there's nothing left to say

Cause you're the best person i know, it's true
All my best times are with you
Cause your the best person i know, yes its true
These no one else I like as much as you

Cause your the best person i know, it's true
All my best times are with you
Cause you're the best person i know, yes its true
Theres no one else I like as much as you

Come wander with me,


//-----

He said come wander with me love
Come wander with me
Away from this sad world
Come wander with me

He came from the sunset
He came from the sea
He came from my sorrow
And can love only me


Oh where is the wanderer
Who wandered this way
He's passed on his wandering
And will never go away

Come wander with me love
Come wander with me
Away from this sad world
Come wander with me

He sang of a sweet love
Of dreams that would be
But I was sworn to another
And could never be free

Mãe, eu quero ficar sozinho... Mãe, não quero pensar mais... Mãe, eu quero morrer mãe.
Eu quero desnascer, ir-me embora, sem ter que me ir embora. Mãe, por favor, tudo menos a casa em vez de mim, outro maldito que não sou senão este tempo que decorre entre fugir de me encontrar e de me encontrar fugindo, de quê mãe? Diz, são coisas que se me perguntem? Não pode haver razão para tanto sofrimento. E se inventássemos o mar de volta, e se inventássemos partir, para regressar. Partir e aí nessa viajem ressuscitar da morte às arrecuas que me deste. Partida para ganhar, partida de acordar, abrir os olhos, numa ânsia colectiva de tudo fecundar, terra, mar, mãe... Lembrar como o mar nos ensinava a sonhar alto, lembrar nota a nota o canto das sereias, lembrar o depois do adeus, e o frágil e ingénuo cravo da Rua do Arsenal, lembrar cada lágrima, cada abraço, cada morte, cada traição, partir aqui com a ciência toda do passado, partir, aqui, para ficar...

Assim mesmo, como entrevi um dia, a chorar de alegria, de esperança precoce e intranquila, o azul dos operários da Lisnave a desfilar, gritando ódio apenas ao vazio, exército de amor e capacetes, assim mesmo na Praça de Londres o soldado lhes falou: Olá camaradas, somos trabalhadores, eles não conseguiram fazer-nos esquecer, aqui está a minha arma para vos servir. Assim mesmo, por detrás das colinas onde o verde está à espera se levantam antiquíssimos rumores, as festas e os suores, os bombos de Lavacolhos, assim mesmo senti um dia, a chorar de alegria, de esperança precoce e intranquila, o bater inexorável dos corações produtores, os tambores. De quem é o carvalhal? É nosso! Assim te quero cantar, mar antigo a que regresso. Neste cais está arrimado o barco sonho em que voltei. Neste cais eu encontrei a margem do outro lado, Grandola Vila Morena. Diz lá, valeu a pena a travessia? Valeu pois.

Pela vaga de fundo se sumiu o futuro histórico da minha classe, no fundo deste mar, encontrareis tesouros recuperados, de mim que estou a chegar do lado de lá para ir convosco. Tesouros infindáveis que vos trago de longe e que são vossos, o meu canto e a palavra, o meu sonho é a luz que vem do fim do mundo, dos vossos antepassados que ainda não nasceram. A minha arte é estar aqui convosco e ser-vos alimento e companhia na viagem para estar aqui de vez. Sou português, pequeno burguês de origem, filho de professores primários, artista de variedades, compositor popular, aprendiz de feiticeiro, faltam-me dentes. Sou o Zé Mário Branco, 37 anos, do Porto, muito mais vivo que morto, contai com isto de mim para cantar e para o resto.

- FMI, josé mario branco

I'm going away, forever,
I'm going away, forever,
Never coming back this way,
Never coming back to this place.

What I need is a heaven,
What I really need is a heaven,
A place to go where I can really be,
A place to go where I can really be
Where I can really be.

Dreaming my life away, counts for nothing,
Dreaming my life away, counts for nothing,
But nothing ever is the end,
No, nothing ever is the end.

It's sure been a full life for me, yeah
It's sure been a full life for me, yeahh
It's sure been a full life for me, baby, its sure been a full life for me

Blue Afternoon
Rel. date: 1969 Straight Records

//-----

I was just a curly-haired mountain boy
On my way
Passing thru I heard a voice
Whisper good evening
I turned to a shadow
And saw her there
So all alone
She had those sad china eyes
That sang each time she smiled
Ah, but the song
It seemed to linger
So long it deepened
My love for her
Until she called me near
And then we waltzed to our heart beat
All around
The sea was swaying
The breeze was praying
Never to leave her alone
Alone
Oh, the time just slipped on by
And with the time
So did our love
Ah, her every move
Just like a fever
Just like a fever
Burnin' inside would not leave me

What can I do for you?

Oh my love, oh my love.
Look at me, oh please look at me, my love,
Here I am - Oh my love.
Who am I?
Nobody knows but me,
Nobody knows but me,
Who am I?
Nobody else can see,
Just you and me,
Who are we?
Oh my love, oh my love.
Oh my love...

I won't cry cry baby
I won't worry anymore
You and I we are ideal
I'm the sad sad one

You can have my sixth grade pictures
Can I have the one of us mooning
This work it won’t kill me
But I’m not stronger for it
I've just learned to wait it out

You are my only true love
But I know I can't change
You are my only true love
But I won't change

I won't cry cry baby
I won't worry anymore
You and I we are ideal
