Lou Reed live - Hommage to Amy Whinehouse

Essa é pra sempre lembrar da Amy, com o gigantesco Lou Reed fazendo uma homenagem pra ela (em Paris, julho 2011).

PS: Faltou dizer que essa foi uma descoberta da Betha.

Dionne Bromfield again

Não consegui subir o vídeo, mas aqui uma das músicas que eu adoro dessa cantora.


"Good For The Soul"

For my poor heart's sake,
Guess it's time to take the long way out,
Like a stone in my shoe, there's always someone who wants to slow me down.
When the sun stops shining,
It's time to walk away from the clouds.

Give me one good reason to keep on loving you.
I know I wasted all my feelings when I gave them all to you.
But taking back the hand of control feels good for the soul, yay yay yay.

Say you want all of me, then you try to split my world in two
Say you give me everything, then you bring me nothing more than blue
When the sun stops shining,
It's time to set your sight on the moon

Give me one good reason to keep on loving you.
I know I wasted all my feelings when I gave them all to you.
But taking back the hand of control feels good for the soul, yay yay yay.
Feels good for the soul

Give me one good reason to keep on loving you, ohh.
I know I wasted all my feelings when I gave them all to you.

Give me one good reason to keep on loving you, ohh.
Cause taking back the hand of control feels good for the soul, yay yay yay.

Make a wish - Heather Peace Tour Finale - 15th April 2011 London

Oi Pessoal,
Gente, tô apaixonada por essa mulher, digo, essa cantora... ahahahahahahahaha
Well, é uma cantora inglesa que mistura folk & blues. Também é atriz e atualmente faz o seriado da BBC Lips Service (a lesbian one).

Ladies & ladies, Ms. Heather Peace.

Ah! O nome dessa música é "Make a wish" (this is the chorus)

I will make a wish and give you wings so you can fly
Turn your blue eyes green again, giving you no more need to cry
You will fly above the clouds and whisk towards the moon
Catch a dream on a falling star, one that's dancing to your tune

(a moça do violão, a ruiva com chapéu, é a Jill Jackson, outra cantora inglesa que está arrebentando por lá.)

Meio de campo - Elis Regina

Essa é em homenagem ao meu Botafogo que fez um estrago na defesa vascaína: 4 a zero!

A gigantesca Elis Regina. Pra sempre ELIS!

Ah! Com direito ao comentário luxuoso da V:

gente, em vermelho, o Gil falando do goleiro Taffarel, que se achava imbatível, loiro como um ariano.
o Chico Buarque disse que, com essa maravilhosa miscigenação, somos todos pretos. que os únicos que fogem à regra são o Taffarel e a Xuxa. que eles deveriam se casar e ter filhos. nesse caso, haveria sim a certeza de que não tinham um pé na senzala. beijos e bom dia. V.

Meio De Campo
Elis Regina
Composição: Gilberto Gil

Prezado amigo Afonsinho
Eu continuo aqui mesmo
Aperfeiçoando o imperfeito
Dando tempo, dando um jeito
Desprezando a perfeição

Que a perfeição é uma meta**
Defendida pelo goleiro
Que joga na seleção

E eu não sou Pelé, nem nada
Se muito for eu sou um Tostão
Fazer um gol nesta partida não é fácil, meu irmão
Entrou de bola, e tudo!

The Mamas & The Papas: California Dreamin'

Esta a V arrancou do fundo do baú. Aqui com a letra pra cantar junto:

California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas


All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day

Id be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.

California dreamin'
On such a winters day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray

You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay

California dreamin'
On such a winters day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day

If I didn't tell her
I could leave today

California dreamin'
On such a winters day

California dreaming
On such a winters days

Diana Krall - Look Of Love (From "Live In Paris" DVD)

Presentaço da Vanda e eu acrescento a letra de Mr. Burt Bacharach:

The Look Of Love

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can´t disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard,
well it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
You´ve got the
Look of love, it´s on your face
A look that time can´t erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let´s take a lover´s vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you

How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don´t ever go
Don´t ever go
I love you so
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don´t ever go
Don´t ever go
Don´t ever go

James Taylor - Fire and Rain, Live 1970

Essa é a minha música preferida do Jimmy. O vídeo é de 1970.

FIRE & RAIN

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things
to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now

Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

Carole King - It's Too Late - Live 1971

NO presente dado pela Vanda, o vídeo é de 2009 e não coloquei a letra, porque acho que todo mundo conhece aquele clássico "You´ve got a friend".
Nessa daqui, busquei lá do fundo do baú, umas das músicas mais lindas da Carole King: "It´s too late". O vídeo é de 1971 e ela era tão jovenzinha...rs

Abaixo, a letra pra vcs curtirem. É a história do fim de um relacionamento, quando a ficha cai e alguém precisa colocar isso pra fora. Podem cantar junto...rs

It's Too Late

Stayed in bed all mornin'
Just to pass the time.
There's somethin' wrong here.
There can be no denying.
One of us is changin'
Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..

It used to be so easy
Livin' here with you.
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do.
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no..

There'll be good times again
For me and you,
But we just can't stay together.
Don't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you,

But it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..

It's too late, baby.
It's too late, now, darlin'.
It's too late

carole king you`ve got a friend
