Poets of The Fall - Carnival Of Rust

Ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά συγκροτήματα της παραγωγικότατης άλλωστε στον τομέα αυτό Φινλανδίας. Οι Poets of The Fall εδώ στο ομώνυμο τραγούδι από τον υπέροχο δεύτερο δίσκο τους Carnival Of Rust (2006). Δεν είναι ακόμα τόσο γνωστοί, μα αξίζουν πολλά και είναι σχεδόν βέβαιο ότι το όνομά τους θα ακουστεί πολύ στη συνέχεια)
Μπορείτε να πάρετε μια γεύση από τη μουσική τους στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα τους.

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

D' you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need,
And taste the blame if the flavor should remind you of greed?
Of implication, insinuation and ill will, 'til you cannot lie still,
In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come closing in for a kill

Come feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

It's all a game, avoiding failure, when true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior and the things we don't need
I lust for after no disaster can touch, touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before

Come feed the rain...
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'cause without your love my life ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away, don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet

Το όμώνυμο από το θαυμάσιο καινούριο τους cd Fear Of A Blank Planet. Με σκληρό ομολογουμένως τρόπο, εκφράζουν τους φόβους τους για τον πλανήτη και τους ανθρώπους. Το κακό είναι πως η πραγματικότητα ίσως να είναι ακόμα πιο σκληρή.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunlight coming through the haze
No gaps in the blind
To let it inside
The bed is unmade
Some music still plays

TV, yeah it's always on
The flicker of the screen
A movie actress screams
I'm basking in the shit flowing out of it

I'm stoned in the mall again
Terminally bored
Shuffling round the stores
And shoplifting is getting so last year's thing

X-box is a god to me
A finger on the switch
My mother is a bitch
My father gave up ever trying to talk to me

Don't try engaging me
The vaguest of shrugs
The prescription drugs
You'll never find
A person inside

My face is mogadon
Curiosity
Has given up on me
I'm tuning out desires
The pills are on the rise

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left I simply am not here

I'm through with pornography
The acting is lame
The action is tame

Explicitly dull
arousal annulled

Your mouth should be boarded up
Talking all day
With nothing to say
Your shallow proclamations
All misinformation

My friend says he wants to die
He's in a band
They sound like Pearl Jam
The clothes are all black
The music is crap

In school I don't concentrate
And sex is kinda fun
But just another one
Of all the empty ways
Of using up a day

How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me
I need to know that someone sees that
There's nothing left I simply am not here

Bipolar disorder
Can't deal with the boredom

You don't try to be liked
You don't mind
You feel no sun
You steal a gun
To kill time

You're somewhere, you're nowhere
You don't care
You catch the breeze
You still the leaves
So now where?

The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

... φυσικά μας υπενθυμίζει ένα από τα πιο γνωστά κομμάτια των The Verve

***@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@***

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, you're a slave to the money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places where all the veins meet, yeah
No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

Well, I've never prayed,
But tonight I'm on my knees, yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind , I feel free now
But the airwaves are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold , I am here with my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next
I can't change my mold, no, no, no, no, no

(Well have you ever been down?)
(I can't change, I can't change...)
(Ooooohhhhh...)

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony this life
Trying to make ends meet, trying to find some money then you die

You know I can't change, I can't change, I can't change,
but I'm here in my mold, I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people from one day to the next

******************************

(Ville Valo)
I’m giving up the ghost of love
In the shadows cast on devotion

(Lauri Ylönen)
She is the one that I adore
queen of my silent suffocation

(Together)
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

(Ville Valo)
Bittersweet

(Lauri Ylönen)
I won’t give up
I’m possessed by her

(Ville Valo)
I'm bearing her cross
She's turned into my curse

(Together)
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

(Lauri Ylönen)
Bittersweet
I want you

(Ville Valo)
Oh I wanted you

(Lauri Ylönen)
And I need you

(Ville Valo)
How I needed you

Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny

Beirut - Mount Wroclai (Idle Days), live Toronto 10/05/2006

Kαι μια από τις πιο μεγάλες αποκαλύψεις του 2006. Οι Beirut (πίσω από τους οποίους κρύβεται ο 19χρονος τοτε Zach Condon) συνδυάζουν κι αυτοί υπέροχα τις Βαλκανικές με άλλες μουσικές. Στις 10 Ιουλίου μπορούμε να τουςδούμε ζωντανά στην Αθήνα στο Gagarin Open Air Festival.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Οι στίχοι του Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)

And I know when time
will pass by slow
without my heart
what can I do
you're in the halls
the bell gives way to a larger swell
without my heart
what can I do, oh
wroclai

and we grow fat
on the charms of our idle dreary days
seen the shadows grow
see an ominous display
with no alarm
could we say we'd have expected this way
(under stars?) have died
give incent to play
wroclai

----------------------------
Yah-hee, icky thump
Who'd-a thunk?
Sittin' drunk
On a wagon to Mexico

Her hair, what a chump
And my head
Got a bump
When I hit it on the radio

Red-head señorita
Lookin' dead
Came to said,
"I need a bed" en español

So I gave a drink of water
I'm gonna sing around the collar
Well, I don't need a microphone

Icky thump, with the lump
In my throat
Grab my coat
And now it's reckon
I was ready to go

Yeah, I swam beside the hair
She had one white eye
One blank stare

Lookin' up, lyin' there

On a stand in her hair
Was a candy cane
Black rum, sugar cane
Dry eye, somethin' strange!

Well, Americans:
What, nothin' better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too.

Who's usin' who?
What should we do?
Well you can't be a pimp
And a prostitute too

Icky thump, handcuffed to a bunk
Robbed blind
Looked around
And there was nobody else

Left alone
I hit myself with a stone
Went home
And learned how to clean up after myself

Simply Red - So Not Over You

Το 1ο single από το νέο τους album "Stay"

Οι στίχοι:

don't know why i still slept on my side of the bed,
the emptiness when you were gone
kept ringing in my head,
told myself i really had to move along,
stop regretting all the things i left unsaid.

so i tore up your letters,
took your picture off the wall.
i deleted your number,
it was too hard not to call.
and then i told myself that i would be fine
gotta live for the good times.

'cause everywhere i go there's a love song that reminds me of you,
and even though i knew i had to be strong i'm still not over you
'cause i still believe and could see how there's nothing left of you and me.
our time is over,
but i'm so not over you.

all my friends tried to tell me

that i'd find somebody new.
why waste time being lonely,
when there's nothing left to loose.
anything to get you out of my mind.
i'm a fool if i thought i could forget,
and i could not forget.

'cause everywhere i go there's a love song that reminds me of you,
and even though i knew i had to be strong i'm still not over you
'cause i still believe and could see how there's nothing left of you and me.
our time is over.
but i'm so not over you.

now i found a way to keep you there beside me,
to where my love for you cannot be denied.
i can only hope to keep you there to guide me,
there's no more need to hide from all this pain inside.

'cause everywhere i go there's a love song that reminds me of you,
and even though i knew i had to be strong i'm still not over you.
'cause i still believe and could see how there's nothing left of you and me.
our time is over.
but i'm so not over you.

Pain of Salvation - Scarsick

Το ομώνυμο κομμάτι απο το καινούριο άλμπουμ των Pain of Salvation - Scarsick.
Στο cd καυτηριάζονται πολλά από τα κακώς κείμενα του σύγχρονου κόσμου. Περισσότερα σύντομα

Οι στίχοι:

SICK
It's all SICK, I feel sick
I'll be sick, then it's fine
I'm conform to your norm
With a bucket full for me
I'll be free, finally
I will see what you mean with your freedom

This world you call home
Not alone, happy drone
Won't be sick of these cars
All these codes, and these bars
All these sickening scars
I'll believe in the way of the stripes and the superstars

I will fall in line and obey
'Cause the price is so small
Almost nothing at all
If I'm just losing ME
Then the ideals and truths
Will follow naturally
Happily I will settle for your conformative apathy

If I could just get rid of this unsettling, uncomfortable
Unbendable bucket of insight and honesty
This SICK SICK SICK bucket of reality
But you see: this sick will stick
'Cause it's ME
It's ME

Step into the dark age of treason
Today the only voice of reason
Would have to be the sound
Of the soup of the season hitting ground
Hitting ground...

SICK
Feeling sickened by this fucking travesty
Is just a sign of sanity
You're not alone
And every time that you hurt
Every cut, every scar
And every time you just hate
Everything that you are
It is simply the instinct to flee
To escape from this mess
This continuous rape
Of what's true and what's real

So you gnaw at your paw
To get out of this trap
Of the cage, of our time
All that rage
Is your struggle to survive
They think you wanna die
When in truth you just strive
Biting every hand
Just to stay alive

But can you hear that sound
In your ear, growing louder and louder
The whole world around you
A pounding and grinding
That tells you that you're not alone
It's the sound of thousands and thousands
Of vixen teeth
Hitting BONE

Step into the dark age of treason
Today the only voice of reason
Would have to be the sound
Of the soup of the season
Hitting ground...

SICK...
Of these bars and these cars
I feel sick
You are making me sick
So sick
You are making me sick
It's all sick
We're all sick
You are making me sick

Soup of the season
Hitting ground

Ασταμάτητος ο Jack White

Δεν έχει προλάβει να κυκλοφορήσει το "Icky Thumb" των White Stripes και ο Jack White με τους Raconteurs έχουν μισοολοκληρώσει τις ηχογραφήσεις του νέου τους άλμπουμ, το οποίο όμως προβλέπεται να κυκλοφορήσει το 2008 σύμφωνα με δηλώσεις του. Αν διαβάσετε τη συνέντευξη του Jack White θα δείτε ότι βιάζεται γιατί εχει πολλά ακόμα στο μυαλό του!!!!

Mike Oldfield - Taurus ii (the deep deep sound) / Roskilde Festival 1982

Από το CD "Five Miles Out" [1982] τραγουδά η Maggie Reilly

Οι στίχοι:

Hush Now Baby Made A Start
There's A Jewel In Your Heart
And A Star That Shines For You
Watching Everything You Do
Don't You Cry Though It May Seem
You Were Born Into A Dream
There's Another Race To Run
You Were Not The Only One
Standing In The Morning Sun
Waiting Though It Had Begun
May You Never Run Aground
Or Call Into The Deep Deep Sound
Stormy Weather Turns To Blue
Here's A Song To Take With You

Happy Birthday (To You )......

...Vain

Οι U2 βοηθούν να συγκεντρωθούν 1 εκ. στερλίνες για φιλανθρωπικούς σκοπούς

Αυτό έγινε με συλλεκτικά αντικείμενα των U2 που πωλήθηκαν σε δημοπρασία, πού είχε σκοπό να συγκεντρωθούν χρήματα για να βοηθηθούν όσοι έχασαν τον μουσικό τους εξοπλισμό λόγω του τυφώνα Katrina στη Νέα Ορλεάνη. Συνολικά συγκεντρώθηκαν 1,2 εκατομμύρια στερλίνες.
