Sunrise Avenue - Hollywood Hills

Το πρώτο σινγκλ από το νέο άλμπουμ των Sunrise Avenue,  Out of Style. 


No, this is not the time or the place for broken hearted
Cause this is the end of the rainbow
Where no one can be too said
No, I don't wanna leave but I must keep moving ahead
Cause my life belongs to the other side
Behind the great ocean's waves.

Chorus:
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills I'm gonna
miss you wherever I go I'm gonna
come back to walk these streets again
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills forever .

Thank you for the morning walks on the sweet sunset
And for the hot night moments
For the fantasy in my bed
I take a part of you with me now and you won't get it back
And a part of me will stay here, you can keep it forever, dear
Wooaoo...

Chorus:
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills I'm gonna
miss you wherever I go I'm gonna
come back to walk this streets again
Remember that we had fun together.

Bye, bye lonely girls I'm gonna

Love you wherever I go I'm gonna
Come back so we can play together
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills forever.

Long distance love doesn't work
All the miles in between getting lonely
No, I don't wanna go
I don't wanna go.

Chorus:
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills I'm gonna
miss you wherever I go I'm gonna
come back to walk these streets again
Bye, bye

Chorus:
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills I'm gonna
miss you wherever I go I'm gonna
come back to walk these streets again
Remember that we had fun together.

Bye, bye lonely girls I'm gonna
Love you wherever I go I'm gonna
Come back so we can play together
Bye, bye Hollywood Hills forever.

Hollywood Hills forever, yeah, Hollywood Hills forever. 

Y&T - I'm Coming Home

Έχοντας ένα σπουδαίο παρελθόν οι   δημιούργησαν πολύ μεγάλες προσδοκίες στους παλιούς τους φίλους με την αναγγελία της κυκλοφορίας του Facemelter (Μάιος 2010) που ήταν το πρώτο τους άλμπουμ από το 1997. Προσδοκίες που δεν διέψευσαν. Δυστυχώς το Facemelter έμελλε να είναι και το "κύκνειο άσμα" για τον μπασίστα - τραγουδιστή και ιδρυτικό μέλος του συγκροτήματος Phil Kennemore που    σε ηλικία  57 χρόνων υπέκυψε στις 7 Ιανουαρίου προσβεβλημένος από καρκίνο του πνεύμονος. 

So many times
I was lost in my mind
Searching
For some other place I should be
Wasting my days
Looking everywhere else
Never seeing
That it’s right here in front of me
Now, I can feel it calling me
No more running away, ‘cause I know where I’m meant to be
CHORUS:
I’m coming home
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be now
I’m coming home
Back home where I belong
Night after night
So near, yet alone
Waiting
For that something that calls out to me
Was there somewhere I’d find
A new way, a new start
Just one place
That would open its heart up to me
Now, I can hear it calling me
No more running away, ‘cause I know where I’m meant to be
CHORUS:
I’m coming home
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be now
I’m coming home
Back home where I belong
Yes, I’m coming home
You know I hear it, hear it calling
I’m coming home
Back home where I belong
Now I know where I’m going
Taking the long road back
The closer I get, the more I can see
What home really means
Oh, I can feel it calling me
No more running away
‘Cause I know just where I should be
This is where my heart is
Back home where I belong
I can hear it calling
CHORUS:
I’m coming home
I know, I know I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be now
I’m coming home
Back home where I belong, I belong
Oh, I hear you calling
And I’m coming home

Poets of the Fall - Can You Hear Me

Στη συλλογή με τίτλο Alchemy Vol 1 που κυκλοφόρησαν  οι Poets of the Fall στις 16 Μαρτίου συμπεριλαμβάνονται δυο νέα κομμάτια. Αυτά είναι τα "Can You Hear Me" και "No End, No Beginning" (προσωπική επιλογή το δεύτερο). Επίσης ένα DVD με βίντεο εννέα  κομματιών.

Hiding deep within, doors cry opening
Lead into the light of love deep like the sea
Rich in variety, heartfelt and open, wide like a life, unique, yet so alike

Can you hear me, I know I'm just a whisper
Can you hear me, brother mine, sweet sister
Love will find an answer

You flow inside of me, language and imagery, pure in simplicity
Thirsting for unity, realized harmony,
No need to hide away your life, unique, yet so alike

Can you hear me...

There's yet life in these words I speak for peace of mind and our release,
And you can have what you want if you want it like you need to breathe,
like you need to breathe, like you need to breathe
Embrace reality

Can you hear me, I know I'm just a whisper
Can you hear me, brother mine, sweet sister
Love will find an answer

Elvenking - Your Heroes Are Dead

Από το εξαιρετικό πρόσφατο άλμπουμ των Ιταλών Elvenking   Red Silent Tides που κυκλοφορεί από το Σεπτέμβριο του 2010. 


I don't know who you are
in the mirror I see you still wear a mask
A disguise, a cure for all the madness.

Why don't you get rid
of the junk you used to wear
in front of me, are you sure that
you were feeling better.

All the laughter, the good time
covered up all of your crimes
now tell me who you are
now tell me who you are
All the darkness, all the pain
was it really all in vain?
now tell me who you are
now tell me who you are.

[Chorus:]
Far away you just wanna run away
your heroes - all gone astray
When you say that you're gonna end your play
your confidence all gone away.
I just saw it happening,
I saw the ones who love you all run away
your heroes are all dead.

The truth behind the lies
is a blink well hidden deep inside your eyes
It's a way to make them all feel stupid.

Oh if you just knew
that the only one who was
being fooled was you
are you sure that you were
feeling better.

All the laughter, the good time
covered up all of your crimes
now tell me who you are
now tell me who you are.
All the darkness, all the pain
was it really all in vain?
now tell me who you are
now tell me who you are.

[Chorus:]
Far away you just wanna run away
your heroes - all gone astray
When you say that you're gonna end your play
your confidence all gone away.
I just saw it happening,
I saw the ones who love you all run away
your heroes are all dead.

[Solo: Rafahel]

[Chorus:]
Far away you just wanna run away
your heroes - all gone astray
When you say that you're gonna end your play
your confidence all gone away.
I just saw it happening,
I saw the ones who love you all run away
your heroes are all dead

The Strokes - Under Cover Of Darkness

Το πρώτο σινγκλ από το Angles  που φέρνει πίσω στη δισκογραφία τους  The Strokes μετά από 5 χρόνια απουσίας. Οι κριτικές για το άλμπουμ που κυκλοφόρησε χθες 18 Μαρτίου είναι θετικότατες δικαιότατα μιας και το Angles είναι γεμάτο από κομμμάτια που θα μπορούσαν να ξεχωρίσουν και να αποτελέσουν τα επόμενα σινγκλ.

 Slip back out of whack,
At your best.
It's a nightmare,
So I'm joining the army.

Know how folks back out,
I'll still call.
Will you wait for me now?

We've got the right to live, fight to use it,
Got everything and you can just choose it,
I won't just be a puppet on a string.

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

And I'm tired of all your friends Listening at your door
And I want,
What's better for you.
So long, my friend
And adversary.
Oh, but I'll wait for you.

Get dressed, jump out of bed
You do it best.
Are you OK?
I've been out around this town Everybody's singing the same song for ten years.

I'll wait for you.
Will you wait for me too?

And they sacrifice their lives, And they're lying about those odds.
Oh they've said it a billion times,
And they'll say it again.
So long, my adversary
And friend.

Don't go that way.
I'll wait for you.

I'm tired of all your friends, Knocking down your door.
Get up in the morning and give it your all.

So long, my friend
And adversary.

Oh I'll wait for you.

She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sin she’s paid for...
A lonely speaker in a conversation
Her words are swimming through his ears again
There’s nothing wrong with just taste of what you paid for
Say what you mean tell me im right and let the sun rain down on me give me a sign
I wanna believe
Whoa Mona Lisa, you’re guaranteed to run this town Whoa Mona Lisa I’d pay to see you frown
He sense something call it desperation another dollar another day and if she has the proper words to say she’d tell but she’d have nothing left to sell him...
Say what you mean tell me I’m right and let the sun rain down on me give me a sign I wanna believe
Whoa Mona Lisa, you’re guaranteed to run this town Whoa Mona Lisa I’d pay to see you frown
Oh Mona Lisa
Say what you mean tell me I’m right and let the sun rain down on me give me a sign
I wanna believe
Whoa Mona Lisa, you’re guaranteed to run this town Whoa Mona Lisa I’d pay to see you frown
Say what you mean tell me I’m right and let the sun rain down on me give me a sign
I wanna believe
There’s nothing wrong with just a taste of what you paid for....
 

Mastodon - Oblivion

 



Το πρώτο live άλμπουμ των Mastodon με τίτλο Live at the Aragon κυκλοφορεί με τη μορφή dvd + cd κυκλοφορεί στις 15 Μαρτίου. Η ηχογράφηση έγινε κατά τη διάρκεια της συναυλίας τους στο Aragon Ballroom του Σικάγου στις 19 Οκτωβρίου του 2009.

*
I flew beyond the sun before it was time,
burning all the gold that held me inside my shell.
Waiting for you to pull me back in,
I almost had the world in my sight.

Lost love. Bright eyes fading faster than stars falling.
How can I tell you that I’ve failed?
Tell you I’ve failed…

Falling from grace, cause I’ve been away too long.
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song -
now I’m lost in oblivion.

I tried to burrow a hole into the ground,
breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand.
The eyes of the child see no wrong.
Ignorant bliss, impending doom.

Birds OF Passage - My Own Mind / Yesterdays Stains

Για μια ηλιόλουστη νύχτα προσεύχεται  η προερχόμενη από τη Νέα Ζηλανδία Alicia Merz σε ένα από τα κομμάτια του παρθενικού άλμπουμ του πρότζεκτ της Birds OF Passage, που έχει τίτλο Without The World,  αλλά και η ίδια μπορεί να ζεστάνει με τη φωνή και τη μουσική της ακόμα και την πιο μαύρη χειμωνιάτικη νύχτα. Παρά το γεγονός ότι όλα τα κομμάτια του άλμπουμ κινούνται σε χαμηλούς υπνωτικούς τόνους το Without The World παραμένει ενδιαφέρον από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος του.
Τρία από τα κομμάτια του   (Scarlet monkeys, The Patterns on Your Face, My Own Mind) μπορείτε να κατεβάσετε δωρεάν από εδώ. 

* To Yesterdays Stains δε βρίσκεται στο Without The World

This blood is not a stranger’s or a above
It’s… from up above,
So could…
We learn the hard way!
Was that in your …
You having fantasizing
Impossibilities, ways of getting into me!
You’re getting into me!

Chorus:
Since I was a baby, I have always been this way,
I could see you coming from a million miles away.
Coming! Coming!

…but no one empathize,
Bring him to the needs,
Bring all the…to me!

Chorus:
Since I was a baby, I have always been this way,
I could see you coming from a million miles away.
Coming! Coming!

This blood is not a stranger’s or above
We learned it the hard way!

Susheela Raman - Raise Up / Magdalene

Raise Up



 Magdalene


Από το καινούριο άλμπουμ της Susheela Raman, Vel που κυκλοφορεί από τις 15 Φεβρουαρίου και είναι το πέμπτο στούντιο LP της.

Pain of Salvation - Linoleum / Road Salt

Για το τέλος του 2011 μετατίθεται όπως αναφέρουν οι πληροφορίες η κυκλοφορία του δεύτερου μέρους του καταπληκτικού άλμπουμ των Pain of Salvation, Road Salt One [2010] από το οποίο προέρχεται το Linoleum.

Το Linoleum  είχε πρωτοεμφανισθεί στο ομώνυμο (Linoleum) EP του 2009.


She keeps the world at bay
With walls built to stand come-what-may
And with that coldness on display, they held until today
She would hold her own
Running all alone
Ridding her road of every grain
To stay in control

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up and stored

She's won every war
And when she's out that door
She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor
She would move so fast not to end up last
Aiming for the finish line
To smile at those she'd passed

But now
She cries
Alive

Suddenly she is down on all four
And the walls will support her no more
Cries her eyes out like never before
Onto this linoleum
The bottled up.
And stored --

And sometimes
Oh, just sometimes
That's really all it takes:
A hand on her shoulder
Then she breaks

Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(Yes then)
A word of kindness and she breaks
(She breaks)
And then the sum of damage done
(Well she breaks)
Spills out on stale linoleum
(She breaks)

Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(She breaks)
A gentle touch and then she breaks
(She breaks)
To see the sum of damage done
(She breaks)
Stain this linoleum
(Oh, she breaks)

Sometimes that's really all it takes:
(Oh, she breaks)
A word or touch and then we break
(Oh, she breaks)
And all this world's linoleum
(She breaks)
Can't hold the sum of damage done --

(She's becoming her last casualty)
Itsy bitsy Spider
Climbed the water spout
(If she breaks then at last she'll be free)
Down Came the Rain
And washed the spider out
(But she keeps it together once more)
Now she stays on the ground
So she'll never fall
(And runs another day to fight another war)
See she would rather drown
Than lose control

Στο ίδιο άλμπουμ βρισκόταν και το ομώνυμο με τον κορμό του τίτλου των δύο άλμπουμ Road Salt:



This time I'll try not to get hurt
This time I'll stay untouched with pain and dirt
This time I'll stick to what I've learned
This time I'll fly so low I won't get burned

Maybe it's not enough
Maybe this time it's just too much
Maybe I'm not that tough
Maybe this time the road is just too rough
Walk down, so I sit down, mmh...

I've walked this road so many years
I've worn down all my boots, I've cried all tears
So many crossroads left behind
So many choices burned into my mind

Maybe it's not enough
Maybe this time it's just too much
Maybe I'm not that tough
Maybe this time the road is just too rough
To take me home

To take me home
To take me home
To take me home
But I walk on
