Architects - Day In Day Out / Learn To Live

File:Thehereandnow.jpg



The years I put into this
It could take a second
To tear down years of work
And we won't get these days
Back again (back again)
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted
Someone, tell me how I've ended up here
With nobody watching over me?
We need to bring back the days we used to love
Before all the colour drains away
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
I can't understand why I've been put here
I'm stuck in a world of sympathy
With nobody watching over me
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those not living in the here and now
To all those (sing it loud)
Where did they go?
The days we used to know
Where did they go?
Have I forgotten what it feels like?
Where did they go / where did they go
The days we used to know
Where did they go / where did they go
Have I forgotten what it feels like?
And the words roll over and over
Yet our hearts will never be lifted
Το Day In Day Out είναι το πρώτο σινγκλ από το καινούριο άλμπουμ των Architects, The Here And Now   που κυκλοφόρησε στις 18 Ιανουαρίου. Το Day In Day Out  το ακολούθησε σαν σινγκλ το
Learn To Live



Pick yourself up
Stop loving
Start living
Don't get held back
That's where they want you to be

I never paid much attention to them
Every time they pushed us aside
We got back up again
Yeah we made it through the rain
Just to live another day without them

Pick yourself back up
And learn to live
Stop caring
Stop thinking
The grass is greener on the other side
Don't give up on life

Never back down
Do this for yourself
You don't need anyone
To get you where you deserve
I never paid much attention

Every time they pushed us aside
We got back up again
Yeah we made it through the rain
Just to live another day without them

Every time they pushed us aside
We got back up again
Yeah, we made it through the rain
Just to live another day without them

We are the ones you left out in the rain
Come back tomorrow and we'll be here again
We are the ones you left out in the rain
Come back tomorrow and we'll be here again

We don't need you
We don't need you
We don't need you

We made it through the rain
Just to live another day
We made it through the rain
Just to live another day
We made it through the rain
Just to live another day
We made it through the rain
Just to live another day

Cold War Kids - Louder Than Ever

File:Mine is yours.jpg





Το πρώτο σινγκλ από το τρίτο άλμπουμ των Cold War Kids  Mine Is Yours που κυκλοφόρησε χθες 25 Ιανουαρίου.


All my windows were barred,
the sun made stripes of shade
I was sitting round like a zombie,
feeding my own face
I was counting my chi, I was digging my strange
I was taking you for granted,
you were holding the reigns

But, I can hear you louder than ever,
whisper to me, help me remember
I can't see you but we're still together,
Yeah, I can hear you louder than ever

It's a slippery slope,
like that mouse trap game
Inside my tunnel vision you slept on my train

But, I can hear you louder than ever,
whisper to me, help me remember
I can't see you but, we're still together,
Now I can hear you louder than ever

I don't wanna ignore you were the past of my feelings
But probably gonna get out of this
just hear me out anyway
The darkness's snuck in
and now I'm doubting all my promises
Don't try to pull me out of this
just lay down by me and wait.

Cause I can hear you louder than ever,
whisper to me, help me remember
I can't see you but, we're still together,
Yeah, I can hear you louder than ever

I can hear you louder than ever X 5

Joan As Police Woman - The Magic





Στις 25 Ιανουαρίου κυκλοφορεί το νέο άλμπουμ με  τίτλο The Deep Field από την  Joan As Police Woman  (Joan Wasser). Στο The Deep Field είναι εμφανέστατες οι επιρροές από τη Soul χωρίς όμως να χάνουν τα κομμάτια το προσωπικό της ύφος.


I don’t want to tell you what you already know
This is me you that you’re talking to
and anything I say, I have said before
When will it be enough?
There’s something, and my mind shifts, and in my eye
I slip on my ears
And I find I am face to face with none other than me,
I’ve got the mirror up against the marquee.
And all it reads is, I am fine, I am divine,
But there is a wild side going on behind the sign.
I’m looking for the magic
I’m feeling for the right way out of mind
Looking for the alchemy to release me from my maze.
I am makin myself
I’m lookin’ for the magic (x3)
Now I do not wanna come off like I am
I’m loosing my head
But the shadow inside of me
is begging for direction to illicit city.
Ooooh illicit city.
I wanna do better than to fight this life ‘cause it is a dream
I wonder if the wild animals livin’ in me
Well will they ever find freedom.
http://www.hotnewsonglyrics.com/joan-as-police-woman-the-magic-lyrics.html
All I fear is what I fear, am I a Leviathan?
I feel the risin of the cove, my ocean opens
I’m looking for the magic
I’m feeling for the right way out of mind
Looking for the alchemy to release me from my maze.
I am makin myself.
I’m looking for the magic
I’m feeling for the right way out of mind
Looking for the alchemy to release me from my maze.
I am makin myself.
I’m lookin’ for the magic (x3)
I wanna be bad,
I wanna be bad
My shadow must find a window
in the wall.
I’m looking for the magic
I’m Feeling for the right way out of mind
Looking for the alchemy to release me from my maze.
I am makin myself
I’m looking for the magic
I’m feeling for the right way out of mind
Looking for the alchemy to release me from my maze.
I am makin myself
I’m lookin’ for the magic (x3)

John Mellencamp - No Better Than This

 File:Mellencamp NBTT COVER.jpg




Το ομώνυμο κομμάτι και πρώτο σινγκλ παράλληλα από το πρόσφατο άλμπουμ του John MellencampNo Better Than This. Την παραγωγή του άλμπουμ που είχε πολύ καλές κριτικές έκανε ο T Bone Burnett. Από τα  πάνω από 30 κομμάτια που γράφτηκαν γι αυτό τελικά επιλέχθηκαν τα 13.

Give me twenty-five dollars
And drive me around downtown
Solve all my problems
Don’t let me lose what I’ve found
Give me good lovin’
And seal it with a kiss
Then drop me off where the music’s loud
But it won’t get no better than this

Take me to a party
Where I’m the only man
With fifty women waitin’ on me
Who say they understand
Feed me milk and honey
Give me a story that I’ll never miss
Let me get one good night’s sleep
But it won’t get no better than this

Give me clear vision
And don’t let me miss anything
I’ll take the bird that whistles
And the world on a string
Fill my fist full of money
In these troubled times
And let me share the water
With all, all of mankind

Give me back my youth
And don’t let me waste it this time
Stand me up at the golden gates
At the front of the line
Let me lie in the sunshine
Covered in the morning mist
Then show me something I ain’t never seen
But it won’t get no better than this

Fran Healy - Buttercups

File:Fran Healy - Wreckorder.jpg



Πρώτο σινγκλ από το πρώτο προσωπικό αλμπουμ του Fran (Francis) Healy τραγουδιστή των Travis, με τίτλο Wreckorder είναι το Buttercups,  που αναφέρεται σε μια προσωπική ιστορία του από τα σχολικά του χρόνια. Στο Wreckorder συνεργάζονται και ο  Paul McCartney, η Neko Case και  ο Tom Hobden από τους  Noah and the Whale


It never rains but it pours
Do keep the wolf from the door
I see you sitting in silence
Outside my house
Quiet as a mouse
I tried to buy you roses but all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
You said to have and to hold
Do let me in from the cold
I see you sitting in silence
Inside your house
Quiet as a mouse
I tried to buy you roses but all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
And this could be life as we know it
How can I see if you never show it
I tried to buy you roses
But all the stores were closed
I tried to buy you roses but all the stores were closed
And if I had a diamond ring I'd wear it through my nose
But I can't dance and I can't sing
A loser I suppose
So all I have is buttercups
All I have is buttercups
What is wrong with buttercups
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows

Iron & Wine - Walking Far From Home




File:Kiss Each Other Clean.jpg

Στις 25 Ιανουαρίου αναμένεται να κυκλοφορήσουν το καινούριο τους άλμπουμ Kiss Each Other Clean, των Iron & Wine.
Το Walking Far From Home είναι το πρώτο σινγκλ.


I was walking far from home
Where the names were not burned along the wall
Saw a building high as heaven
But the door was so small, door was so small

I saw rain clouds, little babies
And a bridge that had tumbled to the ground
I saw sinners making music
And I dreamt of that sound, dreamt of that sound

I was walking far from home
But I carried your letters all the while
I saw lovers in a window
Whisper "want me like time, want me like time"

I saw sickness bloom in fruit trees
I saw blood and a bit of it was mine
I saw children in a river
But their lips were still dry, lips were still dry

I was walking far from home
And I found your face mingled in the crowd
Saw a boat full of believers
Sail off talking too loud, talking too loud

I saw sunlight on the water
Saw a bird fall like a hammer from the sky
An old woman on the speed train
She was closing her eyes, closing her eyes

I saw flowers on a hillside
And a millionaire pissing on the lawn
Saw a prisoner take a pistol
And say "join me in song, join me song"

Saw a car crash in the country
Where the prayers run like weeds along the road
I saw strangers stealing kisses
Leaving only their clothes, only their clothes

Saw a white dog chase its tail
And a pair of hearts carved into a stone
I saw kindness and an angel
Crying take me back home, take me back home

Saw a highway, saw an ocean
I saw widows in the temple to the Lord
Naked dancers in the city
How they spoke for us all, spoke for us all

I saw loaded linen tables
And a motherless colt then it was gone
I saw hungry brothers waiting
With the radio on, radio on

I was walking far from home
Where the names were not burned along the wall
Saw a wet road form a circle
And it came like a call, came like a call from the Lord

The Decemberists - Down By The Water








Το πρώτο σινγκλ από το το άλμπουμ των  The Decemberists,    The King Is Dead που θα κυκλοφορήσει στις 18 Ιανουαρίου.
Διάδοχος του Down By The Water είναι το January Hymn μαζί με τη διασκευή του Row Jimmy των Greatful Dead.


See this ancient riverbed, see where all our follies are led
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
I was just some towhead teen, feeling around for fingers to get in between
Down by the water, down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
http://www.hotnewsonglyrics.com/the-decemberists-down-by-the-water-lyrics.html
Sweet descend this rabble round
Pretty little patter of a seaport town
Rolling down the water and rolling down the old main drag
All dolled up in gabardine
The last flashing lee to appear nineteen
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
The season rubs me wrong
The summer swells anon
So knock me down, tear me up
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Down by the water and down by the old main drag
Down by the water and down by the old main drag

Wovenhand - The Threshing Floor





Άλλο ένα ονειρικό ταξίδι από τους Wovenhand στο πρόσφατο άλμπουμ τους  The Threshing Floor. Στο ομώνυμο κομμάτι είναι έντονα τα ανατολίτικα στοιχεία αλλά και σε όλο το άλμπουμ είναι εύκολα αναγνωρίσιμες επιρροές από τα Βαλκάνια και την Ανατολική Ευρώπη. Στο άλμπουμ συμμετέχει και ο Peter Eri.


Look whose fan is in his hand
upon the ground of sifting
instruments with teeth
a place for the called for
we call it the floor
into the air
in this time of threshing

bara devlam
devlam bara
devlam bara
istenem

by the hooves of beasts
round this winnowing pile
golden sheaves
the gleaming plain for miles
lift up your iron heel
spin Ezekiel's wheel

him lord of hosts
him lord of hosts

every secret sin
on and of this earth
grows fierce from the ground
instruments with teeth
instruments with teeth
cut them down

Buddy Guy - Stay Around A Little Longer ft. B.B. King / 74 Years Young


Εβδομηντατεσσάρων χρόνων νέος  λέει πως είναι στο κομμάτι (74 Years Young) που ανοίγει τον εξαιερετικό νέο του δίσκο Living Proof  ο  Buddy Guy.
Στο άλμπουμ εκτός του B.B. King συμμετέχει και ο Carlos Santana.

Stay Around A Little Longer



 74 Years Young

 

I'm 74 years young, there ain't nothing I haven't done
I've been a dog and I've been a tomcat
I chased some tails and I left some tracks
I still know how to have my fun 'cause I'm 74 years young

Got a few good tricks up my sleeve
I know everything that a good woman needs
I show respect and I treat 'em right
They all keep coming back night after night

When it come to loving, I ain't never done
I'm 74 years young

I've been all around the world, everywhere is home
Drink wine with kings and the Rolling Stones
I got a few scars from the battles I won
'Cause I'm 74 years young

I've been all around the world, everywhere is home
Drink wine with kings and the Rolling Stones
I got a few scars from all the battles I won
I'm 74 years young

74 years young, gonna keep on having fun
When I get to them end of the line
I sure set the [Incomprehensible] real good time
But tonight I feel like I'm 21, I'm 74 years young

When it come to loving, I ain't never done
'Cause I'm 74 years young

When it come to loving, I ain't never done
I'm here to tell you, I said I'm 74 years young
I ain't ever had enough of nothing
74 years young

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Come Undone





File:Hawk Campbell Lanegan.jpg

Από το πρόσφατο άλμπουμ των Isobel Campbell και  Mark Lanegan, Hawk. Σε δύο κομμάτια του άλμπουμ συμμετέχει και ο Willy Mason

I stumble and I fall, your time is on my side
Don't make sense of it all, despite my foolish pride
It's got me on my knees, tearin' up my heart
I'm shakin' at my bones, tearin' me apart

When I can't get close to you
I come undone, I come undone
Come undone, babe, I come undone

Time will take its toll, time can break your heart
And if I had the chance, we'd never have to part
Took my only flame, took my one desire
Threw it all away when jumping in the fire

I can't get close to you
I come undone, come undone
Come undone, babe, I come undone

When the day is done I lay me down to rest
Everyone will see that I loved you the best
When all is said and done here simple and explain
And if I have the chance I'll do it all again

But I can't get close to you
I come undone, I come undone
Come undone, babe, I come undone

I'm not scared of the dark though you tangle and tease me
But worse than your bark you said you'd never leave me
The devil make everybody, don't please believe me
Oh love of my life, won't you let me down easy?

Undone, I come undone
Come undone, babe, I come undone
I come undone, I come undone
Come undone, babe, I come undone

Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman - Forever



File:The living tree.jpg



Δύο παλιοί Yes, οι Jon Anderson και Rick Wakeman ξαναβρέθηκαν για τη δημιουργία του  The Living Tree.  Το άλμπουμ περιέχει καινούριες συνθέσεις παρά τις αρχικές φήμες πως θα είχε διασκευές κομματιών των Yes και αποδεικνύει πως η δημιουργική ικανότητα καθόλου δε στέρεψε από τους δύο.
