A banda sonora do meu Outono


Dois álbuns, Ballad Of The Broken Seas e Sunday At Devil Dirty, e qual deles o melhor, é uma questão que tenho colocado muitas vezes a mim próprio. Apostaria no primeiro, mas não quero arriscar. Arrisco, isso sim, a dizer que as 24 canções que compõem estes dois álbuns são autênticas preciosidades, como aquelas que eu um dia sonhei achar no fundo mar, dentro de um baú em forma de caixa de música. Mas, sonhos á parte. Isobel Campbell e Mark Lanegan são as vozes que ecoam por este meu Outono fora. Vozes que soam perfeitas a cada balada sussurrada ao ouvido. Vozes com hálito a whisky vintage. E isto não é um sonho á parte, é uma dupla de sonho.

Quando o lobo não é mau

Os a Jigsaw completam 10 anos no próximo mês de Dezembro, e os festejos já começaram. Prova disso é o blogue da banda, que está recheado de coisas boas. Aos mais curiosos, sigam por este trilho. Vão ver pegadas de lobo pelo caminho, mas não se assustem. Como vão poder reparar, este lobo não é mau. C´mon boys.

Throw your arms in the air tonight

Enquanto não chega o novo álbum, haja uma música assim para me abrir ainda mais o apetite de novidades. Para já o segredo impera, mas os The National deixaram escapar The Runaway e eu agradeço. Resta-me levantar os braços, e não resistir a fazer-lhes mais uma vénia.
There's no savin' anything
Now we're swallowin' the shine of the sun
There's no savin' anything
From the shine of the sun
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I’m enjoyin' being led to the flood
We got another thing comin' undone
That’s taking us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead go ahead
Throw your shirts in the fire tonight
What makes you think I’m enjoying being led to the flood
We got another thing comin' undone
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
what makes you think I’m enjoyin' being led to the flood
We got another thing comin' undone
That’s taking forever
We don't bleed when we don't fight
go ahead go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
we don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead go ahead
There’s our shirts in the fire tonight
what makes you think I'm enjoying being led to the flood
we got another thing comin' undone
we got another thing comin' undone
That’s taking us over
I'll go bravin' anything
With you swallowin' the shine of the sun
I'll go bravin' everything
With you swallowin' the shine
But I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
Cause I won't run
No I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I’m enjoying being led to the flood
We got another thing comin' undone
They’ve taken us over
We don't bleed when we don't fight
go ahead go ahead
Throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead go ahead
Lose our shirts in the fire
What makes you think I’m enjoying being led to the flood
We got another thing comin undone
We got another thing comin' undone
That’s taking us over
That’s taking forever
The Runaway, The National

O que o Outono faz a este rapaz
little girl have I told you
how you light up my life
come and lay down beside me
come and thrill me tonight
do you wanna?
I'm not saying I love you
I won't say I'll be true
there's a crimson bird flying
when I go down on you
I'm so weary and lonesome
and it's cold in the night
when the path to your doorway
is a pathway of light
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
if you do baby say it now
though we'll both wonder anyhow
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna?
little girl have I told you
you're my guiding north star
and my love travels with you
wherever you are
from the mountains to the valley
leave the light on for me
from Virginia to Alaska
from sea to shining sea
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
if you do baby say it now
though we'll both wonder anyhow
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna come walk with me?
do you wanna?

I wanna see a revival tonight

Há um conjunto de músicas fabulosas em Broken, novo álbum dos Soulsavers. São praticamente todas, mas arrisco destacar algumas: Unbalanced Pieces, You Will Miss Me When I Burn, Some Misunderstanding e All The Way Down, são muito provavelmente os melhores 22 minutos seguidos do ano musical. No entanto, a melhor música destes senhores (vénia a Mark Lanegan, lado esquerdo da imagem), não mora em Broken. Para mim, e certamente para mais gente, Revival, do disco anterior, é a música que melhor condiz com o título deste novo álbum, porque é realmente a música que parte tudo. É mesmo assim que termino: a música que se segue parte tudo.
