JJ72 - Bumble Bee


Fade away
into dust again
and i will see
what i want

and i sing my sad songs
and i hope forever

denounce the spears
thrown by mourners
cherish the fears
wait for death

and i sing my sad songs
and i hope forever

[solo]

ohhh ahhhhhaaaaa

Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
What you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs
And you push me to bed.
I love what you do to my head.
It’s a mess out there!

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my heart
When you push me back down
And then pull me apart.
I love what you do to my heart.
It’s the best, oh yeah!

Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my lips
When you suck me inside
And you blow me a kiss.
I love what you do to my lips
It’s so sweet in there.

Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my hips
When you blow me outside
And then suck me like this.
I love what you do to my hips
It’s the beat oh yeah!

You’re the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please.
You’re the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze.
And it gets better everyday, I play
With you it’s such a scream.
Yeah it gets better everyday, I say
With you it’s so extreme.
Yeah it gets wetter everyday, I stay
With you it’s like a dream.

Oh I love, Oh I love, Oh I love
What you do to my skin.
Please slip me on
And slide me in.
I love what you do to my skin
It’s a _______ oh yeah.

Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my bones
When you slide me up
And take me home.
I love what you do to my bones
It’s the crush oh yeah. (?)

You’re the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please.
You’re the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze.

And it gets hazier anyway, I sway
With you it’s such a scream
Yeah it gets mazier every play, I say
With you it’s so extreme.
Yeah it gets crazier everyday, I stay
With you it’s like a dream.

Oh I love, oh i love, oh I love
What you do to me.

So Quiet - Shame

Joy Division - The Eternal / Transmission / Love Will Tear Us Apart / She's Lost Control /Atmosphere / A Means To An End

28 χρόνια συμπληρώνονται σήμερα από την αυτοκτονία του τραγουδιστή των Joy Division, Ian Curtis. Η επιρροή του στη μουσική ήταν τεράστια, αντιστρόφως ανάλογη του μικρού χρόνου παρουσίας του στο προσκήνιο.

The Eternal

Procession moves on, the shouting is over,
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone.
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables,
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain.
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden,
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky,
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment,
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside.

Cry like a child, though these years make me older,
With children my time is so wastefully spent,
A burden to keep, though their in a communion,
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal.
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden,
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall,
No words could explain, no actions determine,
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall.

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

Transmission


Radio, live transmission.
Radio, live transmission.

Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight.

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.

Well I could call out when the going gets tough.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough.
No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise
love to the beat of the show.

And we could dance.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
*******************
Love Will Tear Us Apart


When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then 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
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

**************
She's Lost Control


Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.

And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,
I've lost control again.
And how I'll never know just why or understand,
She said I've lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
I've lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
She said I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.

Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case,
And say she's lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I've lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control
***************
Atmosphere


Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.
**************

New Dawn Fades


A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.

We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.
**************
A Means To An End



A legacy so far removed,
One day will be improved.
Eternal rights we left behind,
We were the better kind.
Two the same, set free too,
I always looked to you,
I always looked to you,
I always looked to you.

We fought for good, stood side by side,
Our friendship never died.
On stranger waves, the lows and highs,
Our vision touched the sky,
Immortalists with points to prove,
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.

A house somewhere on foreign soil,
Where aging lovers call,
Is this your goal, your final needs,
Where dogs and vultures eat,
Committed still I turn to go.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
I put my trust in you.
In you. In you. In you.
Put my trust in you, in you.

Alanis Morissette - Underneath

Σε ζωντανή εκτέλεση το πρώτο single, Underneath της Alanis Morissette από το καινούριο της LP με τίτλο Flavors Of Entanglement που πρόκειται να κυκλοφορήσει στις 30 Μαΐου.

Look at us in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses
Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues

There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

Look at us form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us being cruel kids with both our hearts blocked
Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block

There is no difference

In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

How I’ve spun my wheels
With carts before my horse
And shine on the outside springs from gloom
Spotlight on these& seeds of simpler reasons
And score born into corn, stretching my limit

There is no difference
In what we’re doing in here
That doesn’t show up as big as it does out there
So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we’ve the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

Port O'Brien - I Woke Up Today

Πριν 2 μέρες (13 Μαΐου) κυκλοφόρησε το All We Could Do Was Sing από τους Port O'Brien. Με το I Woke Up Today ξεκινά το cd που είναι ανεξάρτητη δική τους κυκλοφορία, όμως αξίζει ιδιαίτερης προσοχής

Δια χειρός...

Η πρόσκληση της Ινδιάννας για συμμετοχή στην αλυσσίδα χειρογράφων του Ιδιογράφως ήταν η κατάλληλη αφορμή, για να παροτρύνω όσους περνούν από εδώ να δώσουν προσοχή στη σπουδαία σειρά άρθρων, που δημοσιεύει ο Ηλίας Μπαζίνας στο Φίλαθλο και αφορούν τη σχέση Μουσικής - σύγχρονου Έλληνα, παρουσιάζοντας ένα μικρό χαρακτηριστικό απόσπασμα από το σημερινό του άρθρο:

Steve Winwood - Arc of a Diver

Τα 60 χρόνια του συμπλήρωσε ο Steve Winwood, που γεννήθηκε στις 12 Μαΐου 1948. Το Arc of a Diver προέρχεται από το ομώνυμο (Arc of a Diver ) άλμπουμ του που κυκλοφόρησε το 1980.
Στις 29 Απριλίου κυκλοφόρησε καινούριο άλμπουμ με τίτλο Nine Lives.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-

She bathes me in sweetness I cannot reveal
For sharing dreams I need my woman
This humble expression meagerly dressed
My eyes so mean it has no meaning

But jealous night and all her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone I need my love to translate

I play the piano no more running honey
This time to the sky I?ll sing if clouds don?t hear me
To the sun I?ll cry and even if I?m blinded
I?ll try moon gazer because with you I?m stronger
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here

This time to the sky I?ll sing if clouds don?t hear me
To the sun I?ll cry and even if I?m blinded
I?ll try moon gazer because with you I?m stronger

Lean streaky music spawned on the streets I hear it but with you I had to go
'cause my rock ?n? roll is putting on weight and the beat it goes on
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here

With you my love we?re going to raid the future
With you my love we?re going to stick up the past
We?ll hold today to ransom ?til our quartz clock stop until yesterday

*********
beauty over wisdom to fit in with their style
your Cinderella story's for a price
vanity's a business built to fleece the unique
silicon and stars collide, the rest will fall in line

just as beautiful as you are
It's so pitiful what you are
you should have seen this coming all along

visually you're stimulating to my eyes
your Cinderella syndrome's full of lies
your insecurities are concealed by your pride
pretty soon your ego will kill what's left inside

just as beautiful as you are
It's so pitiful what you are
you should have seen this coming all along
It's so pitiful what you are
as beautiful as you are
you should have seen this coming all along

you're everything that's so typical
maybe you're alone for a reason, you're the reason

it's so pitiful what you are, you should have seen this coming all along

just as beautiful as you are
It's so pitiful what you are
you should have seen this coming all along
It's so pitiful what you are
as beautiful as you are
you should have seen this coming all along

Scarlett Johansson - Falling Down

Αντιφατικές είναι οι πρώτες κριτικές για το πρώτο άλμπουμ της Scarlett Johansson που περιέχει σχεδόν αποκλειστικά διασκευές τραγουδιών του Tom Waits. To άλμπουμ θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 20 Μαΐου με τίτλο Anywhere I Lay My Head . Το Falling Down είναι το πρώτο single και μαζί με το Fannin Street αποτελούν τα δύο τραγούδια στα οποία συμμετέχει ο David Bowie.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I have come 500 miles
Just to see a halo
Come from St. Petersburg
Scarlett and me
Well I open my eyes
I was blind as can be
When you give a man luck
He must fall in the sea
And she wants you
To steal and get caught
For she loves you
For all that you are not
When you're
Falling down, falling down
When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

You forget all the roses
Don't come around on Sunday
She's not gonna choose you
For standing so tall
Go on and take a swig
Of that poison and like it
And don't ask
For silverware
Don't ask for nothing
Go on and put your ear
To the ground
You know you will be
Hearing that sound
Falling down
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down

When you're falling down
Falling down, falling down

Go on down and see
That wrecking ball
Come swinging on along
Everyone knew
That hotel was a goner
They broke all the windows
They took all the door knobs
And they hauled it away
In a couple of days
Now someone yell timber
And take off your hat
It's a lot smaller down
Here on the ground
You're falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down

Someone's falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down
Falling down
