Laura Marling - Ghosts

He walked down a busy street
Staring solely at his feet
Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side
Stood at the table where she sat
And removed his hat
In respect of her presence
Presents her with the pictures and says
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you.
These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Opened up his little heart
Unlocked the lock that kept it dark
And read a written warning
Saying Im still mourning
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts
Over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

He'd went crazy at nineteen
Said hed lost all his self esteem
And couldnt understand why he was cry, cry, crying, cryyiiing...

He would stare at empty chairs
Think of the ghosts who once sat there
The ghosts that broke his heart.
Oh the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts that broke his heart
Oh the ghosts that broke my heart
The ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts the ghosts
The ghosts that broke my heart before I met you

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

He says Im so lost,
Not at all well

Ooooooooooohhh

Do as done and there is nothing left to be
Turned out Id been following him and he'd been following me
Do as done after it was over
We were just two lovers crying on each others shoulder

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

Lover, please do not
Fall to your knees
Its not
Like I believe in
Everlasting love

The Coral - Goodbye

I, I look into her eyes
Saw through her disguise
But never realised
That we were longing to be free
Runaway to sea
Well that could never be

Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye

Once so very long ago
Was when I loved you so
If only I had known
That I was blinded by my fate
I traded love for hate
Now I just sit and wait

Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye

10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye

Goodbye don't say goodbye
I'd rather die
Than say goodbye

The Courteeners - Sycophant

I'll never dance with a sycohpant
I'd rather entertain distain
From someone who I love
At least you know where you stand
You'll never understand

Keep your eyes on your own work son
Do your homework son
We will never be undone
We're like a father and a son
We will never be undone

I'll ask you..

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less, cos we are us not you.

You think you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend

The proof's in the pudding, and the gigs
You've not even been to Woolworths to buy your mix
You flirt with the weather, a kneeling knave
Billy Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
I could not give one cos we are us not you.

You think you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want, thank you and goodnight
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you

You think you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend

You love to dance, you're a sycophant
How do you sleep? how do you get up? Get fucked

Interpol - Slow Hands

Yeah but nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet place

Can't you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
We slow hands
Put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself now

I submit my incentive is romance
I watched the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
>From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms & grace
I just go crazy like the good old days
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you

Can you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
Yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
Killer, for hire you know not yourself

We spies
We slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else
We spies
Intimate slow hands killer
For hire you know not yourself
We spies
Intimate slow hands
You let the face slap around herself

[Review] The National - High Violet (English)

With their fifth album, The National continues to surprise and releasing great albums. "High Violet" is probably their best album since "Alligator", from 2005.

This album begins with "Terrible Love," a song that was criticized for the way it was recorded. Nevertheless, it is a great song that gets even better when it’s played live. Then come "Sorrow" and "Anyone's Ghost," both great songs, although with slightly sad lyrics, while "Little Faith" is a song that conveys some hope. Then comes "Afraid Of Everyone" with enigmatic lyrics, although we can realize that this song is a strong criticism of the media: "Venom radio and venom television, I'm afraid of everyone."

After this, come the best two songs on the album, "Bloodbuzz Ohio", which was described by the website "One Thirty BPM" as the simplest, but at the same time more powerful moment of the album, and "Lemonworld. About this song, singer Matt Berninger said: "Lemonworld is an invented, sexy, weird place where you can escape from New York."

Then comes the calm "Runaway" and the brilliant "Conversation 16," a song about youth. For me, it’s other great moment of "High Violet."

This album ends with "England" and "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks," a perfect song to end this "High Violet," which was undoubtedly one of the great albums of 2010.

9/10

[Review] The National - High Violet (Português)

Ao quinto álbum, os americanos The National continuam a surpreender e a lançar grandes álbuns. “High Violet”, provavelmente, o melhor álbum da banda desde “Alligator”, de 2005.

                                                          

Este álbum começa com “Terrible Love”, uma música que foi criticada devido à maneira como foi gravada. Apesar disto, é uma grande música, que ao vivo se torna ainda melhor. De seguida vêm “Sorrow” e “Anyone’s Ghost”, duas excelentes músicas, embora com letras um pouco tristes, embora sendo seguidas por “Little Faith” que é uma música que transmite alguma esperança. Segue-se “Afraid Of Everyone”, com uma letra enigmática, embora se perceba uma forte crítica aos meios de comunicação social, “Venom radio and venom television, I’m afraid of everyone”.

Seguem-se depois as duas melhores músicas do álbum, “Bloodbuzz Ohio”, que foi descrita pelo site “One Thirty BPM” como o momento mais simples, mas ao mesmo tempo mais poderoso do álbum, e “Lemonworld”. Acerca desta música, o vocalista Matt Berninger afirmou: "A Lemonworld is an invented, sexy, weird place where you can escape from New York”.

Depois vêm a calminha “Runaway” e a brilhante “Conversation 16”, uma música sobre a juventude e que é para mim outro grande momento de “High Violet”.

O álbum termina com “England” e “Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks”, uma música perfeita para terminar este “High Violet”, que foi sem dúvida um dos grandes álbuns de 2010.

Beady Eye - The Roller (live)

The White Stripes - Blue Orchid

You got a reaction
You got a reaction didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
You need to do something
Try keep the truth from showing up

How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?

How old are you
How old are you now, anyway?


You're given a flower
But I guess that there's just no pleasing you
Your lips tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway

Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Kasabian - Underdog

Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

Love in Technicolor sprayed out on walls
Well, I've been pounding at the pavement till there's nothing at all
I got my cloak and dagger in a bar room brawl
See the local loves a fighter, loves a winner to fall

Feels like I'm lost in a moment
I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin

Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

It don't matter, I won't do what you say
You've got the money and the power, I won't go your way
I can't take from the people, they don't matter at all
I'll be waiting in the shadows till the day that you fall

Feels like I'm lost in a moment
I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin

Kill me if you dare, hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the underdog, live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train

Tell me if you're down, throw your weapons to the ground
Keep myself right on this train
Hey bird you're on the wire, sold yourself for another one
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

Arctic Monkeys - Pretty Visitors

Trudging through the morning,
The trap with the trampoline under his arm,
Shifts past your whiskers, so stark is the charm but the barking alarm,
Waits coiled 'til the corner is turned.

And the bicycle wheels all struggle to move round,
In your muddy mind, blatantly caked and,
Unwilling to wind uncooperative time,
So he sits on the springs 'til the muck goes dry

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms

And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms

And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the...

What came first, the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reaps towards from ill fitting thoughts,
And twilight forced you to go on a walk,
Your legs start running and your head gets caught

Canopy 19,
It's perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening,
Fall from the aftertaste, you'll have to slip away,
I am unhappy to say, behold is the crook in the hammock plays...

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms

And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms

And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall...

Behold, there's a crook in the hammock plays

Cruelly with the base of the scales,
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act,
Gagged, bound and crafting a tale,
Trailing wrapped in a gasp,

Cruelly with the base of the scales,
And fucking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act,
You were gagged, bound and crafting a tale,
Trailing wrapped in a gasp.

All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms

And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms

And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall.

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger (Live @ Argentina 2009)

The National - Apartment Story

Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
I can tie my tie all by myself
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why

Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe
Is diving diving diving diving off the balcony
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave

Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
When it sings to itself of its long lost loves
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why

Tired and wired we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
But I’ll be with you behind the couch when they come
On a different day just like this one

We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days
We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

So worry not
All things are well
We’ll be alright
We have our looks and perfume

Stay inside til somebody finds us
So whatever the TV tells us
Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

So worry not
All things are well
We’ll be alright
We have our looks and perfume on.

R.I.P. Kurt Cobain

Frank Turner - Photosynthesis

Well I guess I should confess that I am starting to get old,
All the latest music fads all passed me by and left me cold.
All the kids are talking slang, I won't pretend to understand,
All my friends are getting married, mortagages and pension plans
And it's obvious my angry adolescent days are done
And I'm happy and I'm settled in the person I've become
But that doesn't mean I'm settled up and sitting out the game,
Time may change alot but some things may stay the same

And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I yeah I won't grow up

Oh maturity's a wrapped up package deal so it seems
And ditching teenage fantasy means ditching all your dreams.
All your friends and peers and family solomnly tell you you will
Have to grow up be an adult yeah be bored and unfulfilled.
Oh when no ones yet explained to me exactly what's so great
About slaving 50 years away on something that you hate,
About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity
Well if that's your road then take it but it's not the road for me

And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I yeah I won't grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up

And if all you ever do with your life is photosynthesize
Then you deserve every hour of these sleepless nights
That you spend wondering when you're gonna die

Now I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin
Now I'll play and you sing
The perfect way for the evening to begin

And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all yeah I won't grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up
And I won't sit down
And I won't shut up
And most of all I will not grow up

[Review] White Lies - Ritual (English)

After a great debut album, "To Lose My Life ', the bar was too high for and White Lies and, although not at the level of the first album, "Ritual" did not disappoint.

The album begins with "Love Is" which, despite being a good opening song, can’t be compared to "Death", the opening song of the previous album and which is probably the best song of White Lies.

Then comes "Strangers", a song that, without a doubt, is one of the best from this band. It is, in my opinion the best song on this album. "Bigger Than Us" ends the first major set of good songs on this album, because after that song comes "Peace & Quite", which is a relatively weak song in comparison with any of the others in this album.

Then comes "Streetlights", which, despite being a song about problems such as fear or boredom, makes us instantly forget the previous song.

"Holy Ghost" is another highlight of this disc, along with "Strangers". This song is a particularly puzzling, since it is very difficult to understand its meaning.

“The Power & The Glory", which at first glance may be construed to give a great song is actually very weak and I honestly can’t understand its inclusion on the album, as with "Peace & Quiet”.

"Bad Love" and "Come Down" close this album that doesn’t disappoint those who like the band, although it is understandable that falls a little short of expectations of some more demanding people.

7.5/10

[Review] White Lies - Ritual (Português)

Depois de um grande álbum de estreia, “To Lose My Life”, a fasquia estava muito elevada para os White Lies e, apesar de não estar ao nível do primeiro álbum, “Ritual” não desapontou.

O álbum começa com “Is Love” que, apesar de ser uma boa música de abertura, não se compara a “Death”, a música de abertura do álbum anterior e que é, provavelmente, a melhor música dos White Lies.

Depois vem “Strangers”, uma música, sem dúvida ao nível das melhores desta banda. É, na minha opinião, a melhor música deste álbum. “Bigger Than Us” termina a primeira grande sequência de boas músicas neste álbum, porque de seguida vem “Peace & Quite” que é sem dúvida uma música relativamente fraca, se compararmos com qualquer uma das outras deste álbum.

A seguir vem “Streetlights” que, apesar de ser uma música sobre problemas como o medo ou o tédio, nos faz imediatamente esquecer a música anterior.

“Holy Ghost” é o outro momento alto deste disco, a par de “Strangers”. Esta é uma música particularmente enigmática, já que é muito difícil de entender o seu significado.

“The Power & The Glory” que à primeira vista pode dar entender ser uma grande música é, na realidade, muito fraca e não se compreende a sua inclusão neste álbum, tal como aconteceu com “Peace & Quiet”.

“Bad Love” e “Come Down” encerram este álbum que não desilude quem gosta da banda, embora seja compreensível que fique um pouco aquém das expectativas de algumas pessoas mais exigentes.

Radiohead live @ Glastonbury 1997

The Walkmen - Juveniles

You're someone else
Tomorrow night
Doesn't matter to me

Cause there's a sun dying
Into the hill
You got all I need

You pulled a blanket across my eyes

It's a tragedy
Take a lonely look, for my sake
It's a tragedy

Oh country air
Is good for me
No matter who's side I'm on

Let these dead leaves
Dry in the sun
I'll be up and gone

There's a stranger outside
Oh Lord!
He's a wiser man than I
Oh Lord

I am a good man
By any count
And I see better things to come

Could she be right?
When she repeats
I am the lucky one

You're one of us
Or one of them!

[Review] Radiohead - The King Of Limbs (English)

"The King Of Limbs" was announced about a week ago and, after a long week for fans of Radiohead, it is finally available online.

Although this waiting, I think anyone who likes this band will be a little disappointed with this album, which is far from the level of other Radiohead albums.

 The first song, "Bloom”, isn’t definitely a good choice to start. Then come, "Morning Mr. Magpie" and "Little By Little", which is probably the best song on this album.

Then come “Lotus Flower”, the first song on this album to be revealed and a song that is in the same level as "Little By Little", "Codex”, a really calm and beautiful song, and "Give Up The Ghost. "

Finally comes "Separator" that, like "Bloom", which wasn’t a good song to start, wasn’t a good choice to finish this album.

After all, I think this album is good, although it’s far from the level of other albums of this British band.

[Review] Radiohead - The King Of Limbs (Português)

“The King Of Limbs” foi anunciado há cerca de uma semana e, depois de uma longa semana para os fans dos Radiohead, finalmente está disponível online.

Apesar desta espera, penso que quem gosta desta banda vai ficar um pouco desiludido com esta álbum, que está longe do nível de outros dos Radiohead.

A primeira música, “Bloom”, não foi definitivamente uma boa escolha para começar. De seguida vêm, “Morning Mr. Magpie” e “Little By Little”, que é provavelmente a melhor música deste álbum.

Depois seguem-se Lotus Flower”, a primeira música deste álbum a ser revelada e que está ao nível de “Little By Little”, “Codex”, uma música muito calma e bela, e “Give Up The Ghost”.

Por fim vem “Separator” que, tal como “Bloom”, que não foi uma boa música para começar, também esta não foi uma boa escolha para terminar este álbum.

Apesar de tudo, considero que este álbum é bom, embora estando longe do nível de outros álbuns desta banda britânica.

Rise Against - Re-Education (Through Labor)

To the sound of a heartbeat pounding away
To the rhythm of the awful rusted machines
We toss and turn but don't sleep
Each breath we take makes us thieves
Like causes without rebels
Just talk but promise nothing else

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
We wait to reap what we are due

To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
Chased down like dogs we run from
Your grasp until the sun comes up

We crawl on our knees for you
Under a sky no longer blue
We sweat all day long for you
But we sow seeds to see us through
'Cause sometimes dreams just don't come true
Look now at what they've done to you

White needles buried in the red
The engine roars and then it gives
But never dies
'Cause we don't live
We just survive
On the scraps that you throw away

I won't crawl on my knees for you
I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
I won't sweat one more drop for you
'Cause we are the rust upon your gears
We are the insect in your ears
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

We sow the seeds to see us through
Our days are precious and so few
We all reap what we are due
Under this sky no longer blue
We bring the dawn long over-due
We crawl
We crawl
We crawl... all over you

The Rifles - Toerag

Walk out of the door and make my way up the street
Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek
Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain
At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain
Hit the queue for the bus and then join the line
Same faces for the last ten years of my life
See them more than my friends I couldn't tell you their names
Shattered glass on the floor the kids have run out of games
And I don't see that's ever gonna change
One hour passes till I'm back on my feet
A stone's throw I will be walking till I'm off the street
Hang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd
Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves
Turn my back to the clock cause it slows the time
Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike
Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain
Same bands same songs play again and again
And I don't see that's ever gonna change

Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away
And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

From my place of work I move away in haste
Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away
Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief
Gotta catch that train, get myself some relief
I meet up with friends and they knock off at six
I pull at five and walk about for a bit
Watch the world go by through an empty glass
And I know that won't be the last 'so'

Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away
And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

Creep back into bed and I pull up the sheet
High over my head and undercover my feet
Till the room goes dark and i'm miles away
Jump to the alarm and start another day!

[Review] Fake Problems - "Real Ghosts Caught On Tape" (English)

"Real Ghosts Caught On Tape" is the name of the third album by American band Fake Problems and is also the name of the best album of this band.

The album begins with the brilliant "ADT", followed by the not so good "5678." Then comes, as the name implies, a song for the young. "Songs For Teenagers" is a song that portrays the experiences of the vast majority of young people.

Next come "RSVP" and "Soulless" which, along with "ADT" is the best song on this album.

Until the end of the disc there are excellent songs like "Done With Fun," "The Magazines" and "Grand Finale", ending with the calm "Ghost To Coast." This was a curious choice to close this album, as all the other songs have a lively and cheerful sound, while the latter song is much calmer.

Overall, I think this was one of the greatest albums of 2010, without a single bad song on it, and I think this band deserves more recognition than they have nowadays.

9/10

[Review] Fake Problems - Real Ghosts Caught On Tape (Português)

“Real Ghosts Caught On Tape” é o nome do terceiro álbum da banda americana Fake Problems e é também o nome do melhor álbum desta banda.

O álbum começa com a brilhante “ADT”, seguida pela não tão boa “5678”. Seguidamente vem, como o nome indica, uma música para os jovens. “Songs For Teenagers” é uma música que retrata bem as experiências vividas pela grande maioria dos jovens.

A seguir vêm “RSVP” e “Soulless” que, a par de “ADT”, é a melhor música deste álbum.

Até ao fim do disco existem excelentes músicas como “Done With Fun”, “The Magazines” e “Grand Finale”, acabando com a calminha “Ghost To Coast”. Esta foi uma escolha curiosa para fechar este álbum, já que todas as outras músicas têm uma sonoridade animada e alegre, enquanto que esta última música é bem mais calma.

No geral, considero que este foi um dos grandes álbuns de 2010, sem que houvesse uma música má nele, e penso que esta banda já merecia mais reconhecimento do que aquele que tem actualmente.

Dirty Pretty Things - Blood Thirsty Bastards (Acoustic live version)

Dirty Pretty Things - Blood Thirsty Bastards

The world seems out of touch now
I don’t get out so much
I don’t feel the same
In these bones anymore
My heels are all worn
My loyalties are torn
I’m finding different paths now
I never saw before
And it hurts less every day
The paths lead me away
Lead me away from those
Blood Thirsty Bastards
Making plans for no one
But themselves
In this world of disaster
I just need someone
For myself
All the sycophants and vampires
Well I packed them off to hell
Oh I’ve been up for days now
I hope no one can tell
I do my bit oh yes
To cleanse my hands from lies
I'm feeding up the zombies
Hatched from their own eyes
And from these eyes
The weary eyes-cum shadows
Of a very different man
Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one
but their own
I got to be my own master
get away from these braggards, tricksters, foolish clones
Oh look at how they laugh at you now
What did you do to make this bad become true
For heavens sake
such a silly mistake
You’re a legend in your mind
But a rumour in your room
They all followed me down here
To an alleys dirty end
Oh I had nothing to give them
I just thought they were my friends
Doesnt matter now
I’m angry anyhow
So its the best way I can deal with
Blood thirsty bastards
making plans for no one
But their kind
Only now do I see it
I know I don’t need it, no
I pay them no mind
Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one
But themselves
In this world of disaster
I just need someone
To myself.
