Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Possess Your Heart

Πρώτο single του αναμενόμενου να κυκλοφορήσει το Μάιο από τους Death Cab For Cutie, Narrow Stairs, είναι το I Will Possess Your Heart. Η διάρκειά του ξεπερνά τα 8 λεπτά.
(((((((((((DCFC))))))))))))))

How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x2)


There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart(x2)

I will possess your heart (x2)

You reject my advances and desperate plea
I won't let you, let me down so easily, so easily

You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x3)

I will possess your heart (x2)

The Raconteurs - Salute Your Solution

To 1ο single από το νέο τους άλμπουμ Consolers of the Lonely, που οι Raconteurs διαθέτουν και μέσα από την ιστοσελίδα τους.
Το Consolers of the Lonely κυκλοφόρησε στις 25 Μαρτίου.
*********
I seem to think I think I got a little situation
So listen to me sister listen maybe you can help
I think I gave a lot of bobbles my consideration
But not for me they always seem to be for someone else

Why all the people always seem to just be on vacation
What do I get from never touching anything at all
I'm like a trash can holding all the information
And every single time I'm in the field to be taught

Salute your solution, now, salute your solution

I find myself just looking worthy of my best intentions
Ignoring any kinda pause I might receive at all
All others seem to find a road that's tough to satisfaction
I find a ridicule that isn't cool for me at all

And if there's one little answer to this complication
Someone somewhere help me settle what is on my mind
There's only one I'm only taking getting and receiving
There's only one I'm taking
And only one I'm taking

And only one I'm taking
And only one I'm taking
And only one I'm taking


And only one

And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you

And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you

And I got what I got all despite you
And I get what I get just to spite you

I find myself just looking worthy of my best intentions
Ignoring any kinda pause I might receive at all
And all the others seem to find myself a satisfaction
I find a ridicule that isn't cool for me at all

But if there's one little answer to this complication
Someone somewhere some help me settle what is on my mind
There's only one I'm only taking getting and receiving
There's only one I'm taking
And only one I'm taking

And only one I'm taking
And only one I'm taking
And only one I'm taking
And only one

Poets of the Fall - The Ultimate Fling

The The Ultimate Fling oνομάζεται το 1ο single από το καινούριο cd των Poets of the Fall - Revolution Roulette που κυκλοφόρησε χθες 26 Μαρτίου.

Today it's in the air again,
Today another incident that just went up.
No way, this time I will not take the blame,
It's pretty obvious who needs to shut up.
Ashtrays filled with the fruits of our transgressions,
Here and there sarcasm overflows.
To stay, I need the sitcom to be rerun
Till I get the gist of just how it goes.
So what would you have me do?

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I'm out of cheeks to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Somehow I've been blindsided by my own
Kindhearted notion of just who we are.
No doubt we'd have collided anyway
With me endicted and you raising alarm.
First round I'll take my bows into my corner,
Take the vows, regroup and run back again.
Blood hound and of no better pedigree
Than what you see, so you could not offend.

Did I act like a fool cos I didn't know what to do when you gave me just a little bit more than I bargained for,
A little too much in my hands when my hands are tied.
It's the ultimate fling to go frolicking, licking the muck from the soles of the boots of your pride.
Every time you lied !

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I'm out of cheeks to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Ooh, yeahh, give me a reason.
Yeah, make my day.

(Cos someones gota pay)

Can you give me a reason.
I'm moving into grace
Something i can hold on, at the end of the day.
Cos I can't move on till, I know whats the deal.

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I'm out of cheeks to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
So come out tears now, someones gota pay.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Live Again
Cut together make you forget years
You married.
Someones carrying your tears
But you sleep with the ones that
Keep you from all that
You said yourself you can't afford to feel

So Live Again!
Live Again!

Carousel goes down through hell and fear
Forgive yourself and then you gotta heal

And Live Again!
Live Again!
Live Again!
Live Again!

Now you see that when we were young
There was truth and all that came away
The gods just leave us
bleeding for those
Repeating all of our past

Til all love is gone
All love is gone.....again

Live Again!
You Live Again!
Live Again!

Now you see that when we were young
There was truth and all that came away
The gods just leave us
Bleeding for those
Repeating all of our past

Til all love is gone
All love is gone
Again.

God Only Wants You
Can you say
God only wants you too
God only wants you to be
God only wants you...

Can you feel
God only wants you too
God only wants you to dream
God only wants you...

Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever can....
And it seems so overplayed...mhmm...

Can't you see
I only wanted you
I only want you for me
I only wants me...

Could it be
if I was the only,
if I was the only for you,
if I was the lonely...

Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever can....
And it seems so, overplayed....

...Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever can....
And it seems so overplayed....

Neverending White Lights - The World is Darker

Με τη συμμετοχή της Melissa Auf der Maur που σήμερα κλείνει τα 36 το The World Is Darker. Το τραγούδι περιλαμβάνεται στο 2ο άλμπουμ των Neverending White Lights που έχει τίτλο Act 2: The Blood and the Life Eternal [2007].
========
You long to see the world die
I long to keep this cure inside
Every violent whisper, every crash
Pounding in my heart

Love can save a thousand lives
Joy in a world that sweetly cries
For every violent moment it has become
The cure will come, thy will be done

Well its only lonely soul I'm after
The heart is dark but the world is darker

Watch your back if your heart is weeping
Watch your heart if you back is bleeding

Well, its only lonely soul I'm after
The heart is dark but the world is darker
Lonely souls in the sweet hereafter
The heart is dark but the world s darker

Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I - IV (Tracks 1-3)

Δωρεάν προσφέρουν σαν torrent το πρώτο από τα 4 μέρη του νέου τους instrumental album Ghosts I-IV οι Nine Inch Nails. Επίσης εδώ διαθέτουν δωρεάν και το αποτελούμενο από 40 σελίδες pdf που το συνοδεύει. Φαίνεται πως τα πράγματα αλλάζουν πολύ γρήγορα τον τελευταίο καιρό όσο αφορά τη δισκογραφία. Αν οι εταιρείες αντιληφθούν έγκαιρα το νέο status, ίσως να είναι πολύ καλύτερα τα πράγματα και γι αυτές και για τους μουσικούς, αλλά και για όσους αγαπούν τη μουσική. Ανεβάζοντας την ποιότητα και την πρωτοτυπία των συσκευασιών των cd (ή άλλων format) που εμπορεύονται, ώστε να είναι θελκτικά και κρατώντας τα σε χαμηλές σχετικά τιμές η ψηφιακή διακίνησή τους θα είναι διαφήμιση και όχι εμπόδιο στις πωλήσεις.

The Charlatans - You Cross my Path

____________

i don’t think you quite know who i am
i am the son of loyalty i hope you understand
i don’t think you quite know who i am oh
i am the sum of everything i don’t want you to understand

you cross my path i’ll take you down
you bloodied me with howling hands
the wretched games the tortured souls
the flowing scarves the debutantes
the crushing blows the sordid scenes
but what you did was so obscene

i will ride again and i’ll take you down like that
you will die up there alone, i’ll take you down like that

you think about me everyday
you dream of ways to keep your evil thoughts at bay
you think about me everyday
you dream of ways to keep your sick-o thoughts at bay

you cross my path i’ll take you down
you bloodied me with howling hands
the wretched games the tortured souls
the flowing scarves the debutantes
the crushing blows the sordid scenes
but what you did was so obscene

i will rise again and i’ll take you down like that
you will die up there alone, i’ll take you down like that

i will sail into your kingdom,be the sound of the abyss could be the sound of your own voice, be the sound of your first kiss
i am the sound of iraq, i am the sound of the red sea, i am the force of the almighty
i am the sound of your own dreams

you cross my path i’ll take you down
you bloodied me with howling hands
the wretched games the tortured souls
the flowing scarves the debutantes
the crushing blows the sordid scenes
but what you did was so obscene

i will ride again and i’ll take you down like that
you will die up there alone, i’ll take you down like that

i will die for no one i will cry for no one
you will die up there alone you will die up there alone

i’ll get you i’ll get you

Portishead - Hunter

Από το υπέροχο νέο cd των Portishead που θα έχει τίτλο Third και αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσει τον Απρίλιο

No one said,
We'd ever know each other.
A new evidence, is what we require,
In this world.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.

So confused,
My thoughts are taken over.
Unwanted horizons face me instead,
Won't let go.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.

Elbow - Grounds For Divorce

Κυκλοφορεί από σήμερα (χθες πια) 10 Μαρτίου το Grounds For Divorce 10 single του νέου LP των Elbow που αναμένεται για τις 17 του μηνός και θα έχει τίτλο The Seldom Seen Kid .

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

I've been working on a cocktail called "Grounds For Divorce"
Whoah
Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve
Whoah
Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse
Whoah
There's a Chinese cigarette case and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep
and the rest you can keep

There's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

There's this whispering of jokers doing "Flesh by the Pound"
To a chorus of supporters from the little town halls
There'll be twisted karaoke at the Aniseed Lounge
And I'll bring you further roses but it does you no good
and it does me no good
and it does you no good

There's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall
There's a hole in my neighborhood
down which of late I cannot help but fall

Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid

The New Pornographers- Myriad Harbour

Από το πρόσφατο (Αύγουστος 2007) Challengers . Το Myriad Harbour μπορείτε να βρείτε εδώ

I took a plane
I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)

I said to Carl
Look up for once
(See just how the sun sets in the sky)

I said to Jon
Do you think the girls here
(Ever wonder how they got so pretty?)
Oh well I do

Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour

All the boys
With their home-made microphones
(Have very interesting sounds)

All the girls falling to ruin
Dropping out of school, breakin' daddy's heart
(Just to hang around)

I walked into the local record store
And asked for an American music anthology
It sounds fun
They taught my sketches (?)
Stuck 'em on the walls of PS1

I took a plane
I took a train
(Ah, who cares, you always end up in the city)

Stranded at Bleeker and Broadway
Looking for something to do

Someone somewhere asked me is there anything in particular I can help you with?
(All I ever want to help with was you)

Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
Look out upon the Myriad Harbour

Blood Sweat & Tears - I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know

Blood Sweat & Tears - I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know από το Child Is Father to the Man (1968)

Μετά από πρόσκληση του Antoine να συμμετάσχω σε ένα "πρωτότυπο-μουσικό blogοπαιχνιδάκι" με τους ακόλουθους όρους:

• Διαλέγεις ένα ή δυο τραγούδια με τα οποία θα έλεγες το σ’ αγαπώ στον-ην σύντροφο σου ή κάποιον-α που σε ενδιαφέρει.


• Σε περίπτωση που επιλέξεις δύο κομμάτια, απαραιτήτως το ένα θα πρέπει να έχει αντρικά και το άλλο γυναικεία φωνητικά.


• Δεν υπάρχει περιορισμός ανάμεσα σε σόλο καλλιτέχνες ή γκρουπ. Επιλέγετε ότι σας εκφράζει περισσότερο.


• Προσοχή, οι Prince και Mika θα θεωρηθούν γυναικείες φωνές οπότε αυτόματα η συμμετοχή σας κηρύσσεται άκυρη(;).

...διάλεξα το πρώτο τραγούδι που μου ήλθε στο μυαλό. Σκέφτηκα αρκετά άλλα στη συνέχεια, όμως πιστεύω πως μιας και ανταποκρίνεται απόλυτα στους όρους του παιχνιδιού είναι καλύτερα να βάλω την πρώτη μου επιλογή.

Προσκαλώ τους Dee, Keimgreek, Vain, Άμμο και Ινδιάννα, Ηλία Δημόπουλο και Βασιλική Ν. καθώς και όποιον άλλο θέλει να κάνουν τις δικές τους επιλογές.
-------------------
If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you babe
You know I hurt myself as well

[Chorus:]
Is that any way for a man to carry on
D'you think he wants his little loved one gone?
I love you Baby, more than you'll ever know
More than you'll ever know

When I wasn't makin' too much money
You know where my paycheck went
You know I brought it home to baby
And I never spent one red cent

[Chorus]

I'm not tryin' to be
Any kind of man
I'm tryin' to be somebody
You can love, trust, and understand
I know that I can be, yeah yeah
A part of you that no one else could see
I just gotta hear, tohear you say
It's all right
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm only flesh and blood
But I can be anything that you demand
I could president of General Motors baby, heh
Or just a tiny little grain of sand

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]
[Sax Solo]

If I ever leave you
You can say I told you so
And if I ever hurt you baby
You know I hurt myself as well

[Chorus]

I love you, I love you, I love you baby!
Well all right!
I told ya, so many times before
I love you
I love you!
If you don't know, then I'll tell ya one more time
I love you!
I love you!

R.E.M. - Supernatural Superserious

Το 1ο single toy Accelerate που μας φέρνει την επιστοφή των R.E.M. Το video του Supernatural Superserious σε διάφορες εκδόσεις εδώ.

Everybody here
Comes from somewhere
If they would just as soon forget
A disguise
Disguised as they know you made you feel it
At the summer camp they volunteered
No one saw your face, no one saw your fear
You got apparition just appeared
Took you up and away from this place and shared
Humiliation
Of your teenage nation
Nobody cares no one remembers or cares
If your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets

So if you call out safe then I’ll stop right away
When premise explodes and the room starts to shake
The details shift
And the stories the same
You don’t have to explain
You don’t have to explain
Humiliation
Of your teenage nation
No one cares
If your fantasies are
Dressed up in travesties
Enjoy yourself with no regrets

Everybody here comes from somewhere
If they would just as soon forget, disguise
So if you call out safe then I’ll stop right away
When the premise explodes and the room starts to shake
The details shift
With the stories the same
You don’t have to explain
You don’t have to explain
Humiliation
Of your teenage nation
This celebration
Of your teenage nation
Nobody cares no one remembers and nobody cares
Nobody cares no one remembers and nobody cares
