I've Got A Mind To Give Up Living/ All Over Again

Peter Green, Fleetwodd Mac


I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
I say, I've got a good mind to give up living, and go shopping instead
To pick up me a tombstone, and be pronounced dead

When I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
I read your letter this morning, that was in your place in bed
That's when I decided, that I would be better off dead

It read, there is no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Oh, there's no use you looking, or ever hoping to get me back
Yes, because it's all over now, and you can bet on that

Donna Maria - Quase Perfeito

Sabe bem ter-te por perto
Sabe bem tudo tão certo
Sabe bem quando te espero
Sabe bem beber quem quero

Quase que não chegava
A tempo de me deliciar
Quase que não chegava
A horas de te abraçar
Quase que não recebia
A prenda prometida
Quase que não devia
Existir tal companhia

Não me lembras o céu
Nem nada que se pareça
Não me lembras a lua
Nem nada que se escureça
Se um dia me sinto nua
Tomara que a terra estremeça
Que a minha boca na tua
Eu confesso não sai da cabeça

Se um beijo é quase perfeito
Perdidos num rio sem leito
Que dirá se o tempo nos der
O tempo a que temos direito

Se um dia um anjo fizer
A seta bater-te no peito
Se um dia o diabo quiser
Faremos o crime perfeito

The End (Apocalypse Now)

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane ...


"...não tendo o feedback que eu gostaria e mesmo assim continuar a lutar por tudo o que quero, sou especial por isso e se não o fosse mostraria a bandeira branca á trincheira do outro lado do campo de batalha, rendia-me e batia em retirada logo que a primeira bojarda me caísse em cima da tola, sou especial por lutar pelo que quero..."

Brandi Carlile no Coliseu do Porto















Segunda-feira, 4 de maio de 2009, Brandi Carlile veio ao Coliseu do Porto para mais um grande concerto, no qual a sua voz fez o Coliseu do Porto vibrar com grande intensidade. Durante uma hora e meia o publico portuensse foi "brindado" com a performance da nova artista a qual já anda nestas andanças musicais há já bastante tempo, por isso nao se deixem enganar pela juventude da menina que se tornou conhecida no nosso país por causa de um anuncio a uma cerveja nacional.
















I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
The salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was ten again
So I could be your friend again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
Till it's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play
And there's no one allowed in here
And just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
Till it's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up
Yeah...

Ok... were ok... okay
Ok... were ok... okay
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up


este tema é um dos meus favoritos do album e posso dizer que pode bem ter sido o meu momento favorito no concerto. Este tema é um dos tais que me traz boas recordaçoes.














All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
Oh but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you

Oh yeah well it's true... that I was made for you


E este o tema mais comercial da Brandi Carlile ( na minha opiniao bom demais para ser usado em publicidade a cerveja).


A frase final... Oh yeah well it's true... that I was made for you é poderosa :)














i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

E assim foi o concerto, faz justica a qualidade do album The Story o qual já muito rolou no meu carro e não só, album esse que me vai deixar memorias e me trará recordaçoes de momentos,pessoas e lugares quando o ouvir daqui por uns anos.

Amalia Hoje Gaivota



Composição: Alexandre O'Neill / Alain Oulman

Se uma gaivota viesse
Trazer-me o céu de lisboa
No desenho que fizesse,
Nesse céu onde o olhar
É uma asa que não voa,
Esmorece e cai no mar.

Que perfeito coração
No meu peito bateria,
Meu amor na tua mão,
Nessa mão onde cabia
Perfeito o meu coração.

Se um português marinheiro,
Dos sete mares andarilho,
Fosse quem sabe o primeiro
A contar-me o que inventasse,
Se um olhar de novo brilho
No meu olhar se enlaçasse.

Que perfeito coração
No meu peito bateria,
Meu amor na tua mão,
Nessa mão onde cabia
Perfeito o meu coração.

Se ao dizer adeus à vida
As aves todas do céu,
Me dessem na despedida
O teu olhar derradeiro,
Esse olhar que era só teu,
Amor que foste o primeiro.

Que perfeito coração
Morreria no meu peito,
Meu amor na tua mão,
Nessa mão onde perfeito
Bateu o meu coração.

'You got to hide your love away'

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How could I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

Across The Universe



Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my opened ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying Love which shines around me like a
million suns, It calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva, om,
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Nunca vais saber

Nunca vais saber
a sombra que fere o olhar
o sorriso breve sem luz
no caminho longo a fechar...


Nunca vais saber
o longo vácuo infinito
a saudade já a sangue gravada
na mudez nua de um grito...


Nunca vais saber
a lágrima quente na cama
os olhos de seda rasgada
o gelo firme na chama...


Nunca vais saber
a mão crispada e vazia
o desejo insano mordido
na intensidade do dia...


Nunca vais saber
o luar que me corre nas veias
das noites, de prata vestidos
e loucuras tecidas a meias...


Nunca vais saber
que és tu quem eu trago comigo
que és tu quem me assalta ao acordar
com um susto quente no peito...


Nem nunca vais saber
que sonho sempre contigo
e que à noite... em ti me aconchego,
e que é em ti que eu me deito...


Não!
Tu nunca vais saber...

the winner takes it all

I don’t wanna talk
about the things we’ve gone through
though it’s hurting me
now it’s history
I’ve played all my cards
and that’s what you’ve done too
nothing more to say
no more ace to play

The winner takes it all
the loser standing small
beside the victory
that’s her destiny

I was in your arms
thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
building me a fence
building me a home
thinking I’d be strong there
but I was a fool
playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice
their minds as cold as ice
and someone way down here
loses someone dear
the winner takes it all
the loser has to fall
it’s simple and it’s plain
why should I complain

But tell me does she kiss
like I used to kiss you
does it feel the same
when she calls your name
somewhere deep inside
you must know I miss you
but what can I say
rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide
the likes of me abide
spectators of the show
always staying low
the game is on again
a lover or a friend
a big thing or a small
the winner takes it all

I don’t wanna talk
if it makes you feel sad
and I understand
you’ve come to shake my hand
I apologize
if it makes you feel bad
seeing me so tense
no self-confidence

But you see
the winner takes it all

Turpentine

I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
And salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was was ten again
So I could be your friend again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's six AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't maen to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play
and there's no one allowed in
Then just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's six AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't maen to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up

We're OK I know we're OK
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's six AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't maen to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up

Can’t Sleep at Night by Susan Tedeschi



Can’t Sleep at Night

I’ve got the blues goin’ round in my bed
I’ve got the blues goin’ round in my head
Lord, though I try and I try
Oh I knew it wasn’t right
Why can’t I sleep at night

Where did I mess up
Where did I go wrong
I ask these things I’ll never know
As I lay awake goin’ round and round
I keep singing the same old song

Oh I try and I try
Oh I knew it wasn’t right
So why can’t I sleep at night
Oh why can’t I sleep at night

If I can only dream
What will my story be
Would you be holdin me
And when I close my eyes
Are you by my side
Lord have I realised
Oh, that you’re my everything, everything, oh

I got the blues goin’ round in my head
I got the blues goin’ round in my bed
Oh I try and I try
Oh I try and I try
Oh I try and I try
Why can’t I sleep at night
Why can’t I sleep, why can’t I sleep at night….

Ooh yes, oh yes…

Lay All Your Love On Me

"Lay All Your Love On Me"

I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every man that I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned
Has overturned
I beg of you


Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me

It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied
I skip my pride
I beg you dear


Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me


Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me


I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce


I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible


'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned
Has overturned
What can I do?


Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me


Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

All things must pass



Sunrise doesnt last all morning
A cloudburst doesnt last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
Its not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesnt last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
Its not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of lifes strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
Its not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away
