Mogwai - Rano Pano

Το σινγκλ από το έβδομο άλμπουμ των Mogwai,  Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will,  που κυκλοφόρησε στις 14 Φεβρουαρίου. Οι περισσότερες κριτικές για το άλμπουμ είναι ως συνήθως πολύ εγκωμιαστικές. 

Bright Eyes - Shell Games

Το πρώτο σινγκλ από το καινούριο άλμπουμ των   Bright Eyes, The People's Key  που κυκλοφόρησε στις 15 Φεβρουαρίου.
**
Took the fireworks and the vanity
The circuitboard and the city streets
Shooting star, swaying palm tree
Layed (something) at his feet
If I could change my mind, change the paradigm
Prepare myself for another life
Forgive myself for the many times
I was cruel to something helpless and weak
But here it come, that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tag it on a tenenen? wall
Here it come that heavy love, someone gotta share in the load
Oh, here it come that heavy love, I'm never gonna move it alone
I was dressed in white, touched by something pure
Death obsessed, like a teenager
Sold my tortured youth, pissed in vinegar
I'm still angry with no reason to be
At the architect who imagines
For the every man, blessed sisyphus
Slipping steadily into madness, now that's the only place to be free
But here it come, that heavy love
You're never gonna move it alone
Here it come, that heavy love
Tattooed on a criminals arm
Here it come that heavy love, someone gotta share in the load
Oh, here it come, that heavy love, you're never gonna move it alone
No I don't wanna play, it's a shell game
It's a shell game
Distorted sounds on a silyscopes
Distorted facts I could never cope
My private life is an inside joke
No one will explain it to me
We'll be everything that we ever need
Everyone on the count of three
Everyone on the count of three
All together now
Here it come that heavy love
We're never gonna move it alone
Here it come that heavy love, playin as a cylinder rose
Here it come that heavy love, I only want to share in the load
Oh it here it come that heavy love
I'm never gonna move it alone

Pallas - Falling Down

Το Falling Down ανοίγει το νέο άλμπουμ των  Pallas  που έχει τίτλο XXV. Ένα bonus track  του άλμπουμ (Atlantean) δίνουν δωρεάν εδώ.

Domes of crystal spires of light reach out
We’re aspirational creatures there’s no doubt
Living in our brutal cities, nurture an inhuman race
Perish the weak, only the strong will last the pace
The sick and hungry all cry out
But nobody cares to hear them shout..

Our world is falling down
Spinning round
Falling down…
We're out of control we’re falling down
Spinning round falling down….

Smack a child and hope that it will learn
Close your minds again, and we will burn
Arrogance can make us crazy, science is a blinding light
Open your eyes listen to your heart to know what’s right
The dark dictators parade their might
Listen to your heart to know what’s right

Our world is falling down
Spinning round
Falling down…
We're out of control we’re falling down
Spinning round falling down….

Now the lunatics rise again

Radiohead - Lotus Flower

Όχι μόνο δεν άργησαν αλλά έβγαλαν και μια μέρα νωρίτερα το νέο τους άλμπουμ The King of Limbs   οι   Radiohead . Το The King of Limbs κυκλοφορεί από σήμερα αντί για αύριο Σάββατο, όπως είχε ανακοινωθεί. Η κυκλοφορία αφορά την έκδοση για κατέβασμα ενώ η έκδοση σε cd θα βγει στις 28 Μαρτίου και μια ειδική έκδοση "εφημερίδας"  με δύο δεκάιντσα βινύλια και ένα cd στις 9 Μαΐου.

I will slip myself into your pocket
Invisible, do what you want, do what you want
I will sink and I will disappear
I will slip into the groove and cut me up and cut me up

There's an empty space inside my heart
Where the wings take root
So now I'll set you free
I'll set you free
There's an empty space inside my heart
And it won't take root
Tonight I'll set you free
I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
And all I want is the moon upon a stick
Dancing around the pit
Just to see what it is
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed your fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

We will sink and be quiet as mice
While the cat is away and do what we want
Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart
And now it won't take root
And now I set you free
I set you free

Because all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what it is
Just to see what gives
Take the lotus flowers into my room
Slowly we unfurl
As lotus flowers
All I want is the moon upon a stick
Dance around a pit
The darkness is beneath
I can't kick the habit
Just to feed my fast ballooning head
Listen to your heart

PJ Harvey - The Last Living Rose

Με τον καλύτερο τρόπο υποδέχθηκαν οι κριτικοί το καινούριο άλμπουμ της   PJ Harvey,  Let England Shake . Η επίσημη κυκλοφορία του άλμπουμ ξεκινά από τις 14 Φεβρουαρίου. Συμμετέχουν οι John Parish, Mick Harvey, Jean-Marc Butty.

Goddamn' Europeans!
Take me back to beautiful England
& the grey, damp filthiness of ages,
fog rolling down behind the mountains,
& on the graveyards, and dead sea-captains.

Let me walk through the stinking alleys
to the music of drunken beatings,
past the Thames River, glistening like gold
hastily sold for nothing.

Let me watch night fall on the river,
the moon rise up and turn to silver,
the sky move,
the ocean shimmer,
the hedge shake,
the last living rose quiver.

Rest, rest in peace. You must go, heaven is your home now, Gary Moore

Rest in peace



He sees her face in the mirror.
But as he turns, she starts to fade.
He hears her footsteps behind him.
But when he looks, she's gone again.


He hears her voice in the darkness.
As he awakes, she calls his name.
He sees her shadow on the wall
and counts her tears in the falling rain.


She has passed away
a long, long time ago.
Why she haunts him to this day,
he'll never know.


Rest, rest in peace.
You have gone, please leave me alone.
Rest, rest in peace.
You must go, heaven is your home now.


Rest, rest in peace.
You have gone, please leave me alone.
Rest, rest in peace.
You must go, heaven is your home now.


Rest, rest in peace.
You have gone, please leave me alone.
Rest, rest in peace.
You must go, heaven is your home now.

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


"I've been searchin' for something I might never find.
I've been looking for something I have left behind.
I've been searching every day in the rising sun.
I've been trying to find my way till the day is done.
I've been searching.
Hm-hm-m-m.


I've been reaching for something I might never touch.
And I've been dreaming of something that I want so much.
I've been counting all the tears in the falling rain.
I've been trying to hide my fears, but it's all the same.
And I don't know if I'll ever pass this way again.


I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's something I might never see.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow never waits for me.
Tomorrow never waits for me.


I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's something I might never see.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow never waits for me.
Tomorrow just won't wait for me.
Tomorrow never waits for me.


I've been searchin' for something I might never find.
And I've been looking for something I have left behind.
I've been counting all the tears in the falling rain.
I've been hiding all my fears, but it's all the same.
And I don't know if I'll ever pass this way again.


I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's something I might never see.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow never waits for me.


I can't wait until tomorrow.
It's not the place I wanna be.
I can't wait until tomorrow,
for tomorrow just won't wait for me."

Το αύριο δεν τον περίμενε...
Θα μας λείπει κάθε μέρα

Gregg Allman - Just Another Rider

 

Δεκατέσσερα χρόνια μετά το Searching for Simplicity ο Gregg Allman επιστρέφει με τον καλύτερο τρόπο στη δισκογραφία με το Low Country Blues. Στο άλμπουμ που κυκλοφορεί από τις 18 Ιανουαρίου παραγωγός ήταν ο T Bone Burnett ενώ έπαιξαν και οι Dr. John, Doyle Bramhall II, Dennis Crouch, Jay Belleros.




Daylight again, memories fall like rain
Reminds you to take it slow
One step at a time, baby
Till you find your way
Back to the big show
Places you've been
Things that you've done
Somehow, you're still on the run

Just another rider
On that train to nowhere
Just another fool
Too far from home
Just another stranger
Tryin' to get somewhere
Somewhere, but you're still all alone

Watching the world passin' you by
'Cause you tell everybody you must be cursed
Tell them all how you try, try, try
But your luck keeps getting worse
Seems like such a long long time
Since you've had, a little piece of mind

Just another rider
On that train to nowhere
Just another fool
Too far from home
Just another stranger
Tryin' to get somewhere
Somewhere but you're still all alone

Punch your ticket, drop your load
It's time for you, time for you to get on board
I know you love it
You know it too
What in the world has become of you
Do you remember, blue skies were shinin'
Money flowed, flowed like wine
You had a real good woman
Yes, she was sure, she was sure enough fine
Storm clouds risin' in from the sea
Winds are blowin' cold reality

Just another rider
On that train to nowhere
Just another fool
Too far from home
Just another stranger
Tryin' to get somewhere
Somewhere but you're still all alone

Just another rider
On that train to nowhere
Just another fool
Too far from home
Just another stranger
Tryin' to get somewhere
Somewhere but you're all alone

why did we have to part my love?
why couldn't life just stay the same?
it was over and i didn't know it
living without you feels so strange

i remember the night when we met each other
it was a very long time ago
we both have changed for the better
we are so much kinder now, i know

why did we have to part my love?
why couldn't life just stay the same?
it was over and i didn't know it
living without you feels so strange

the night you said you loved another
i simply could not take it in
what would i do without your love?
so cold and lonely it became

why did we have to part my love?
why couldn't life just stay the same?
it was over and i didn't know it
living without you feels so strange

we are very good friends, my love
we have passed the wall of hate
but you know
i'll never come back again

why did we have to part my love?
why couldn't life just stay the same?
it was over and i didn't know it
living without you feels so strange

why did we have to part my love?
why couldn't life just stay the same?
it was over and i didn't know it
living without you feels so strange

why did we have to part my love?
why couldn't life just stay the same?
it was over and i didn't know it
living without you feels so strange
