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?

Ainda assim, estou para confirmar se o Pai Natal existe.

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.

Bem-vindos à Dearland
Era uma vez na Dearland... Elvis Perkins é o rapaz da guitarra e da gaita de beiços. Que caminha pelas ruas da sua cidade inventada sempre acompanhado da sua banda sinfónica. Uma banda composta por três amigos multi-instrumentistas que valem por muitos. Uma banda que parece ser capaz de ombrear, ao título de mais e melhor apetrechada, com a The Sessions Band, grupo que acompanha Bruce Springsteen em algumas das suas aventuras. A cada esquina que passa, Elvis Perkins dá aquele abraço a um Bob Dylan trinta e tal anos mais novo. De vez em quando, Elvis Perkins vê painéis de publicidade aos Beatles em autocarros velhos, fugidios e a levantar poeira. Dá a ideia que aqui e ali se ouve a voz de McCartney ou Lennon, já não sei. A certa altura a paisagem é transformada na velha América dos blues e dos orgãos Hammond, e Elvis Perkins cruza-se com Sean Riley dos magníficos tempos de Farewell. Será que Zach Condon também anda por aqui escondido?! Uma coisa é certa, o rapaz dos Beirut ia gostar disto. E então, lá vai Elvis Perkins, e lá vou eu também, de rua em rua, de sinfonia em sinfonia, pelos caminhos da Dearland. Venham connosco. A festa está garantida.
O I heard you voice in the Dresden
As baby took to the air with all my loving
I heard your voice in Dresden
And now it follows me everywhere
Some have said our love is lost
But I swear I know my way from here
Yes some have said our love is lost
But I swear I know my way from here

Todos os dias têm The National
Começei por dar tempo a Boxer, e a partir dali nunca mais parei de os ouvir. A seguir, dediquei dias e dias a Alligator, e eu já estava mais do que rendido. Na semana passada, foi a vez de Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers. Foi quase a toda a hora, não consegui ouvir mais nada. Lembro-me de ouvir alguém dizer que este era o melhor álbum dos The National, e hoje sou bem capaz de concordar e assinar por baixo.
Every time you get a drink
and every time you go to asleep
are those dreams inside you head
is there sunlight on your bed
and every time you're driving home
way outside your safety zone
wherever you will ever be
you're never getting rid of me
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you own me
you coulda made a safer bet
but what you break is what you get
you wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you own me
you own me
lucky you
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you clean yourself to meet
the man who isn't me
you're putting on a shirt
a shirt I'll never see
the letter's in your coat
but no one's in your head
cause you're too smart to remember
you're too smart
lucky you
