Rain Tree Crow – ‘'Blackwater’’

I hold you in
A sea of silence
On the borderline of truth
Open violence
I see no sign
I see no place I've loved
Depending on the signs
To find the road

Blackwater take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the darkness
To the light that I long to see again

I walk with you
But sleep beside her
The summer came and went
It passes us over
I see her cry
I see the face I have loved
Depending on the blind
To find the road

Blackwater take me with you
To the place that I have spoken
Come lead me through the morning
For the land that I long to see again

Rain Tree Crow – ‘‘Blackwater’’

Rain Tree Crow – ‘’Pocket Full Of Change’’

She brings me water
"Sweeter than wine"
Lost in a moment
Summertime

Counting the hours
Beating out time
Shallow as any heart I could hope to find

Move with the water
Drift with the tide
With no regrets to keep the ghosts alive

But when she smiles, she smiles for me
She smiles for me

Life runs out like a pocket full of change
Time runs out like a pocket full of change

Here comes the morning
Blind and tight
Pulled by the undertow
This world of mine
This world is mine
But when she cries, she cries for me
She cries for me

Life runs out like a pocket full of change
Time runs out like a pocket full of change
Like a pocket full of change
Pocket full of change
Pocket full of change

Got a pocket full of change

  Donald Fagen - “New Frontier"

Yes we're gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It's just a dugout that my dad built
In case the reds decide to push the button down
We've got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier

Introduce me to that big blonde
She's got a touch of Tuesday Weld
She's wearing Ambush and a French twist
She's got us wild and she can tell
She loves to limbo, that much is clear
She's got the right dynamic for the new frontier

Well I can't wait till I move to the city
Till I finally make up my mind
To learn design and study overseas

Do you have a steady boyfriend
'Cause honey I've been watching you
I hear you're mad about Brubeck
I like your eyes I like him too
He's an artist, a pioneer
We've got to have some music on the new frontier

Well I can't wait till I move to the city
Till I finally make up my mind
To learn design and study overseas

Let's pretend that it's the real thing
And stay together all night long
And when I really get to know you
We'll open up the doors and climb into the dawn
Confess your passion, your secret fear
Prepare to meet the challenge of the new frontier

The Durutti Column – “Fado”

(sampler de “Povo Que Lavas No Rio” – Amália Rodrigues) 

I talk to you in pictures

You answer me with stories

They're someone else's stories

You never had a thing

that you could call your own

People will lie

I'm used to that

I heard you whisper something

You weave words on a thread

And I feel your smile

inside my head

Joy Division – ‘’Love Will Tear Us Apart’’

When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads

Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold?
Turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
And it's something so good
Just can't function no more?

Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear up apart again

In ‘’Love Will Tear Us Apart’’ – Joy Division

Charles & Eddie - ''Would I Lie To You''

Pérolas 200 (especial Mark Knopfler)

…se tenho alguém como um “herói” musical, uma referência de topo e até porque foi o primeiro a “mostrar-me” a magia da música…esse alguém é Mark Knopfler…

…admiro muitos guitarristas, embora nunca tenho visto ninguém tocar com aquela  técnica única e que faz ser inevitável que o som que sai da sua guitarra (que tive o prazer de ouvir ao vivo no Verão de 2015) se torne inconfundivelmente reconhecido como seu (quer a solo, quer nos Dire Straits, quer nas várias colaborações com outros artistas)… e os solos, senhores, aqueles solos magníficos…para mim é um génio…

…mesmo não tendo uma voz que seja algo de extraordinário, tem um bom “tom” grave, meio blues, que encaixa nas magnificas suas letras (tantas vezes não valorizadas como merecem) e naquelas magnificas melodias…

…melhor que as minhas palavras, são as imagens e, principalmente, o som que se seguem…

…ladies & gentleman…Mark Freuder Knopfler…

David Sylvian - ''Answered Prayers'' 

(unofficial video edited by Mark Johansson)

David Sylvian - ''Nostalgia'' 

(video edition by Michèle Anne de Mey, Jaco Van Dormael, Collectif Kiss & Cry)

Voices heard in fields of green

Their joy their calm and luxury

Are lost within the wanderings of my mind

I'm cutting branches from the trees

Shaped by years of memories

To exorcise their ghosts from inside of me

The sound of waves in a pool of water

I'm drowning in my nostalgia

In “Nostalgia” – David Sylvian

The Cranberries - "Linger"

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining every day
For me
I swore I would be true
And fellow, so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

You know I'm such a fool for you
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Do have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do have to let it linger?

Gabriela Schaaf - ''Eu Só Quero...''

Abre-me a porta
Apaga-me a luz
Preciso falar-te agora
De nós, a sós

Abre-me os olhos
Arde-me a pressa
Preciso guardar-te agora
Tão fora de nós

Abre-me a cama
Arde-me um beijo
Quero voar em nós
Soltar a voz
Que há dentro de nós

Eu só quero teu braço que me abraça
Eu só quero o teu beijo que me afoga
Eu só quero o teu corpo que me enlaça
Eu só quero o teu fogo que me afaga

Eu só quero o teu livro que me ensina
Eu só quero o teu jeito que me ajeita
Eu só quero o teu ar que me fascina
Eu só quero o teu gozo que me enfeita

Abre-me o sono
Arde-me um sonho
Preciso morar em ti
Demora em mim

Abre-me um dia
Arde-me a fome
Quero voltar aqui
Soltar assim
O que há dentro de mim

Eu só quero teu braço que me abraça
Eu só quero o teu beijo que me afoga
Eu só quero o teu corpo que me enlaça
Eu só quero o teu fogo que me afaga

Eu só quero o teu livro que me ensina
Eu só quero o teu jeito que me ajeita
Eu só quero o teu ar que me fascina
Eu só quero o teu gozo que me enfeita

Eu só quero, eu só quero, eu só quero
Eu só quero o teu braço que me abraça
Eu só quero o teu beijo que me afoga.
