It's not a silly little moment It's not the storm before the calm This is the deep and dying breath of This love we've been working on
Can't seem to hold you like I want to So I can feel you in my arms Nobody's going to come and save you We pulled too many false alarms
We're going down And you can see it too We're going down And you know that we're doomed My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
I was the one you always dreamed of You were the one I tried to draw How dare you say it's nothing to me Baby, you're the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness You'll be a bitch because you can You try to hit me just to hurt me So you leave me feeling dirty Because you can't understand
We're going down And you can see it too We're going down And you know that we're doomed My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Go cry about it, why don't you? My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Don't you think we ought to know by now? Don't you think we should have learned somehow?
Potser ens hauríem de preocupar si pensem que totes les coses que havíem d’haver resolt, no les hem resolt encara. Poc a poc se’ns ha anat acumulant la feina. I tot està per fer.
I les promeses, sobretot les que mai ens vam dir de tan secretes de tan callades, encara s’han de complir, si és que s’han de complir algun dia.
Què mai hem plantat cara als nostres somnis però tampoc als problemes que arrosseguem de fa temps: Què volem ser? Què volem dir? Qui volem ser? I si ho tenim clar: Com ho hauríem de fer? Amb qui podríem comptar? Comptes amb mi? Compto amb tu?
Sí. Potser ens hauríem de preocupar.
De fet, jo em preocupo. I de vegades tinc por. Però de sobte, com qui no vol la cosa, d’un dia per l’altre me n’oblido.
I a la llarga, Què vols que et digui? Al final de tot. No sé com ni gràcies a què, ni per quin estrany mecanisme, Tota aquesta angoixa, tota aquesta por que sento, em tranquil·litza. No sé com però em tranquil·litza. Estic tranquil. Tranquil.
Ahir sopant i fent vetlla amb els pioners de El Pi. Avui, per la tarda, amb els Murgaires d'enguany: Vivenç Vives, Wé Ziza, Quico Sabaté i Alosa, i per descomptat l'equip!!
Ai, Dolors, porta’m al ball, avui que ve tothom, avui és quan hi hem d’anar. Ai, Dolors, vindré cap al tard amb un cop de cotxe i t’esperaré a baix. I, Dolors, avui entre els caps no hi haurà mirades de complicitat ni, Dolors, cap dit despistat que fregui una esquena per casualitat. Avui, Dolors, jo picaré un ritme amb les mans mentre tu treus els tiquets de l’enèsim combinat. Avui, Dolors, proposa un tema al cantant, un que es rigui de tu i de mi i d’aquesta història que s’ha anat acabant. Va, Dolors, que avui serem dos nens grans, res de tonteries, res de ser especials. Un-dos-tres, un-dos-tres cha-cha-chà, taló-punta, taló-punta, i torna a començar. I, Dolors, ningú esperarà cap escena dolça davant cap portal, ni, Dolors, cap gran veritat serà revelada quan es faci clar. Avui, Dolors, mourem el cos al compàs d’un tambor accelerat, d’una gran línia de baix. Avui, Dolors, proposa un tema al cantant, un que es rigui de tu i de mi i d’aquesta història que ja no és important. Un que ens defineixi en tres acords, un que ens expliqui a la posteritat, un que conscientment sigui un punt i final, Dolors, un que sembli impossible que pugui acabar.
Llavis tan trencats. Mirada de gata. Mans de cosidora. De rumbera i patidora. D'artista reveladora i del meu cor. I no saps què fer de la rumba calí. I no saps, ai les cosetes que si pogués t'explicaria. De mica en mica i a estonetes, ai petites a cau d'orella. Tota la nit Vull que vull que vull... Avui dormir amb tu veuràs com no m'oblido del teu nom. I el ventilador i els reis de la festa. La rumba del 60. Té sabor i té tumbao ebris de la soledat. En què tu un dia em vas deixar. Tot despullat si forcem la màquina. A la corba del morrot. Avui vull ser poeta ser comet i gra de sal. Tot el sexe femení. Que vas deixant al meu costat. Un bon final Ulls de vidra mira'm gitana ai que la vida ja saps com va. Ulls de vidre ai desitjada rumbeta bona jo t'he de cantar

ohnny please don't tell the people bout the bluebirds flight Wasting education on a Tuesday night Yes, you are my pussy, you're just being mean Covering up the muscle in your Jordash jeans
Stick up the phone, who is it? Someone has come to visit Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues!
Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean Took me to the movies, but the doctor said Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds
Stick up the phone, who is it? Someone has come to visit Everybody do the hokey pokey, do the crackhouse blues!
Now the captain ran for cover when the steamboats crashed Driving off the bridges cause they got no class Barbara's got my number, now I've got to run Pizzas to deliver in the crackhouse slum, you know...
Sometimes when the night gets hot I search around for the crack I lost I wouldn't expect for you to notice me I would not expect you to say 'Johnny!'
Do the mashed potato till your feet glow green Got to sweep the floor to keep the crackhouse clean Took me to the movies, but the doctor said Leave him to get beaten by the black eyed meds
Stick up the phone like we do Someone has come to see you
Don’t look back, it won’t do any good Don’t look ahead you’ll just be misunderstood Everything you need could be right in front of you It doesn’t take much to see what is true They say we are going to die if we go on like this Who do you believe? Every story has a twist Take a look around, tell me what you see People in the world just trying to be free What about all those things you could have done but you don’t? They say things happen for a reason, you don’t do them, they won’t
I’m lookin for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after I’m lookin for life, lookin for love, lookin for laughter
Things are gunna change, they never stay the same That’s why we’re fighting a war but the people are to blame You can only stand up for what you believe Don’t be blinded by the power of greed What about all those things you could have done but you don’t? They say things happen for a reason, you don’t do them, they won’t
I’m lookin for life, love and laughter Everything in between and what happens after I’m lookin for life, love and laughter Everything in between and what happens after Lookin for laughter
We got everything we need All the money in the world, want to buy what we see Dreams are worth more than gold Some people hold on, some people let go The stars all come out at night The velvet sky, all so bright I feel so close to you Because I see what you see too
I’m lookin for life, love and laughter Everything in between and what happens after Lookin for life I’m lookin for life, love and laughter Everything in between and what happens after What happens after! I’m lookin for life, love and laughter Everything in between and what happens after What happens after?
En algun lugar de un gran pais olvidaron construir un hogar donde no queme el sol y al nacer no haya que morir…
Y en las sombras mueren genios sin saber de su magia concedida, sin pedirlo mucho tiempo antes de nacer.
No hay camino que llegue hasta aqui y luego prentenda salir.
Con el fuego de el atardecer arde la hierba
En algun lugar de un gran pais olvidaron construir un hogar donde no queme el sol y al nacer no haya que morir… un silbido cruza el pueblo y se ve, un jinete
que se marcha con el viento mientras grita que no va a volver
Y la tierra aqui es de otro color el polvo no te deja ver los hombres ya no saben si lo son
pero lo quieren creer las madres que ya no saben llorar ven a sus hijos partir la tristeza aqui no tiene lugar cuando lo triste es vivir.
Des Yeux Qui Font Baisser Les Miens Un Rire Qui Se Perd Sur Sa Bouche Voila Le Portrait Sans Retouche De L'homme Auguel J'appartiens
Quand Il Me Prend Dans Ses Bras, Il Me Parle Tout Bas Je Vois La Vie En Rose, Il Me Dit Des Mots D'amour Das Mots De Tous Les Jours, Et Ca Me Fait Quelques Choses Il Est Entre Dans Mon Coeur, Une Part De Bonheur Dont Je Connais La Cause, C'est Lui Pour Moi, Moi Pour Lui Dans La Vie Il Me L'a Dit, L'a Jure Pour La Vie, Et Des Que Je L'apercois Alors Je Sens En Moi, Mon Coeur Qui Bat...
Des Nuits D'amour A Plus Finir Un Grand Bonheur Qui Prend Sa Place Les Ennuis, Des Chagrins S'effacent Heureux, Heureux A En Mourir
Fall into you Is all I seem to do When I hit the bottle Cause I'm afraid to be alone Tear us in two Is all it seems to do
As the anger fades This house is no longer a home Don't give up on the dream Don't give up on the wanting And everything that's true Don't give up on the dream Don't give up on the wanting
Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you Because I want you
Stumble into you Is all I ever do My memory's hazy And I'm afraid to be alone Tear us in two Is all it's gonna do
As the headache fades This house is no longer a home Don't give up on the dream Don't give up on the wanting And everything that's true Don't give up on the dream Don't give up on the wanting
Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you Because I want you
Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you Because I want you
Fall into you Is all I ever do When I hit the bottle Cause I'm afraid to be alone Tear us in two Tear us in two Tear us in two Don't tear us in two
Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you Because I want you
Because I want you too Because I want you too Because I want you Because I want you
Oh- baby now let's get down tonight. Baby, I'm hot just like your oven. Oh- I need your lovin' And baby, I can't hold it much longer Now it's getting stronger and stronger And when I get that feeling I need a sexual healing, sexual healing And makes me feel so fine And helps to release the mind Sexual healing, is good for me Sexual healing is something that's very good for me
Whenever these blue teardrops are falling Oh no - and my emotional stability is leaving me There is something I can do Oh- I can get on the telephone and call you up baby Darling, I know you'll be there to relieve me The love you give to me will free me And if you don't know the things you're dealing Oh- I can tell you darling, oh it's sexual healing Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Let's make love tonight Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up 'Cause you do it right
Heal me, my darling Heal me, my darling Heal me, my darling Heal me, my darling
Baby, you know I got sick this morning A sea was storming up inside of me Baby, I think I'm capsizing Oh- the waves are rising And when I get that feeling I want a sexual healing Sexual healing And makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush And helps to release the mind, Lord- it's good for us Sexual healing, is good for me Sexual healing is something that's so so good for me
And it's so good for us and it's so good to me my baby, woohhh Just grab a hold and take control Of my body and mind soon we'll be making love Honey, oh- -- fine You're my medicine open up and let me in Darling, Darling, you're so great I can't wait for you to operate

I couldn't wait to see you - waiting by the door There's no one there to meet me - and your clothes are on the floor Sorry if I hurt you - and I made you cry Couldn't stand to see you - with another guy It's the bluest blues - and it cuts me like a knife It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of my life
Couldn't really tell you - how you hurt my pride Something broke within me - down inside I never knew I loved you - til you went away Now the loneliness surrounds me - everyday It's the bluest blues - since you walked out of the door It's the bluest blues - cause I won't see you no more
I'm sorry if I failed you - if somehow I'm to blame It's the bluest blues I'm feeling - it's a cryin' shame I just can't live without you - face another day It's the bluest blues I'm feeling, and it's here to stay It's the bluest blues, and it cuts me to the bone It's the bluest blues, when you can't find your way home
Agüita cristalina es lo que quiero Fuentes de Alhambra mora pa mis adentros Hogueras de cariño sin posesiones ay! somos indigentes de mil amores.
Dunas y arena fina de cobre dorao Levantan la mañana lunares y morao Sultanas de las calles y de los montones Fuego y metales calientes de mil canciones.
Corazones llenos, bolsillos vacíos Tesoros de rumba y fuego, sultanas de mercaíllo Mi casa donde me encuentro chabolillas por los caminos "sound sistem" en las paradas, improvisando con chatitos de vino Y es que la vida es así, la vida es así... Cada una vive como puede o como le dejan vivir.
Pasa, pasa, tristeza pasa, pasa Pasa por un momento y entra calor Fuego y abrasa, pasa!
Pasa, pasa, tristeza pasa, pasa Pasa por un momento y entra calor Fuego y abrasa, pasa!
Siguiendo la cadencia desmesurada Espera en compañía que llegue el alba Viajeros de la noche y de las pasiones.. Fuego y metales calientes de mil canciones.
Pasa, pasa Riqueza de verdad no tiene precio ni se compra, ni se vende Rumba y entra calor Libre, "Techarí" que no manda ni obedece "jala, jala" Pasa, pasa, "jala, jala" "jala, jala, jala" Rumba y entra calor, fuego y abrasa, pasa!
Pasa, pasa, tristeza pasa, pasa Pasa por un momento y entra calor Fuego y abrasa, pasa!
Pasa, pasa, tristeza pasa, pasa Pasa por un momento y entra calor Fuego y abrasa, pasa!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh You don't have to go.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay All those tears I cry oh oh ah ay Baby please don't go.
*CHORUS
When I read the letter you wrote me, it made me mad mad mad When I read the words that it told me, it made me sad sad sad. But I still love you so, I can't let you go I love you- ooh baby I love you.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh Every breath I take oh oh oh oh Oh every move I make aye Oh baby please don't go.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay You hurt me to my soul oh oh oh oh You hurt me to my soul ohh ohh Darling please don't go.
CHORUS
When I read the letter you sent me, it made me mad mad mad When I read the news that it broke me, it made me sad sad sad. But I still love you so, and I can't let you go I love you- ooh baby I love you.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh Oh Baby, baby, please, please, please, please Oh oh oh oh oh oh baby Oh oh I really love you baby Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh darling...
Je voudrais juste une fois Caresser ta peau blanche La faire glisser entre mes doigts De ta nuque jusqu'à tes hanches Je n'ai pas pu quitter mes draps, ce matin J'avais la sensation de ton corps sur le mien
{Refrain:} Je suis là, lasse de t'effleurer Tu me donnes beaucoup mais ce n'est pas assez Je ferai pousser des fleurs dans mes cheveux Je me ferai belle à t'en crever les yeux
Je poserai sur ma bouche L'effluve d'un baiser D'un tout petit oiseau-mouche Pour que tu cherches à l'attraper Dans la lumière, j'ai le droit de tout tenter Pour que cette chanson ne s'arrête jamais
{au Refrain, x2}
Sans en venir aux mains Sans avenir certain Chute sur mes reins Planche sur mes seins Tel un chat Blottis-toi
{au Refrain}
Je suis là, lasse de t'effleurer Là, lasse de t'effleurer Oh oh oh...
We break our enemies with fear, and We've seen how the tears come around We've built our confidence on wasteland We've seen how the walls come down
Life burns
A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil We pray it would last
Life burns
We have no sympathy for the lost souls we've chosen the path of disgrace We give this life to our children and teach them to hate this place
A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil We pray it would last
A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper One love is a crooked lie (The world lies in the hands of evil 5 x)
A man dies like a butterfly Life burns from the touch of the reaper All things must pass One love is a crooked lie The world lies in the hands of evil We pray it would last
Ens vam retrobar una nit d'estiu en un cicle especial de cinema francès a la fresca. El meu plan era tornar aviat però al final tot es va anar allargant i els dos vam decidir sortir de gresca. Se'ns va fer tard. Va dir: "No agafis pas el cotxe. Si vols et pots quedar, que al pis hi tinc quarto exprés per convidats".
"Et deixo aquí sobre un cobrellit perquè ara no però després fot rasca, ja veuràs. Si tens gana o vols aigua tu mateix pots fer com si fossis a casa".
La manera com va dir bona nit i va picar l'ullet era fàcilment mal interpetable. Vaig augurar una nit per a la posteritat, fer un cim, fer un vuit mil, fer quelcom difícilment igualable.
Però allà no passava res, només aquell silenci trencat pel meu somier. Potser no era el seu tipus, millor que no fes res. I en una paret al fons imprès en blanc i negre hi havia un pòster d'en Godard. Potser ell em podria dir-me perquè em ballava el cap.
Ai Jean-Luc!, ai Jean-Luc!, vull entendre-ho però no puc.
Ell va dir que en casos com aquests no es tracta de ser més guapo o més lleig sinó d'estar convençut de fer-ho. Jo vaig dir-li: "Ja, però si ara hi vaig i ella no vol després què? Després tot això acaba siguent un rotllo patatero".
Em va convidar a fumar i en un plano-seqüència una frase magistral "Una dona és una dona. No et preocupis, tant se val".
L'endemà vam esmorzar, ni tan sols vaig mirar-la i a l'hora de marxar ella em va fer un petó que encara no sé interpretar.
Ai Jean-Luc!, ai Jean-Luc!, vull entendre-ho però no puc
Avui és dia d'aniversari...En faig 3! És diu ràpid això tresanys. Però això es tradueix en 1068 cançons (de fet 1069 doncs hi ha un dia que en va haver-hi dos, eh Rayuel i Noia de Vidre)... Això vol dir que hi ha hagut un 97'53% d'eficiència...No està mal, no?
Però això no és el més important...En aquests tres anys, el blog ha tingut dos col·laboradors fixes, en primer lloc l'amic Kalessin i també, tot i que últimament una mica desaparegut, el Rayuela...Però encara més important que això és el nombre de recomanacions que hi ha hagut. Recomanacions d'amics de tota la vida, d'amics trobats més tard, de seguidors del blog i d'anònims... No està malament del tot!
Això és tradueix en milers i milers de visites i en molta estona compartint cançons!
La cançó que més cops s'ha escoltat ha set: Manel - Corrandes de la parella estable. I no és casual...Doncs aquesta cançó va patir l'efecte Guardiola...Recordeu un dia que el Guardiola feia anys i ho va celebrar escoltant Manel...Uns espontanis van fer uns versos sobre ell... Total que el dia següent aquesta cançó, que feia molts mesos que estava penjada...Va batre el rècord absolut de visities en un dia a earenjoy!!! També és el post més comentat i amb més participació!
Gent de tots els continents i de la majoria d'Estats han estat escoltant música a través d'aquest blog! I això, què voleu que us digui? Doncs fa gràcia.
Fa vint anys que tinc vint anys. Vint anys i encara tinc força, i no tinc l'ànima morta, i em sento bullir la sang.
I encara em sento capaç de cantar si un altre canta. Avui que encara tinc veu i encara puc creure en déus...
Vull cantar a les pedres, la terra, l'aigua, el blat i el camí que vaig trepitjant. A la nit, al cel, a aquest mar tan nostre, i al vent que al matí ve a besar-me el rostre.
Vull alçar la veu, per una tempesta, per un raig de sol, o pel rossinyol que ha de cantar al vespre.
Fa vint anys que tinc vint anys. Vint anys i encara tinc força, i no tinc l'ànima morta, i em sento bullir la sang.
Fa vint anys que tinc vint anys. i el cor, encara, s'embala, per un moment d'estimar, o en veure un infant plorar...
Vull cantar l'amor. Al primer. Al darrer. Al que et fa patir. Al que vius un dia. Vull plorar amb aquells que es troben tots sols i sense cap amor van passant pel món.
Vull alçar la veu, per cantar als homes que han nascut dempeus, que viuen dempeus, i que dempeus moren.
Vull i vull i vull cantar avui que encara tinc veu. Qui sap si podré demà.
Fa vint anys que tinc vint anys. Vint anys i encara tinc força, i no tinc l'ànima morta, i em sento bullir la sang...
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
Death or glory becomes just another story Death or glory becomes just another story
'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold But I believe in this-and it's been tested by research he who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory becomes just another story Death or glory becomes just another story
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
Fear in the down sex they say lie low You say ok don’t wanna play a show No other thinking was it death or glory now Playing the blues of kings sure looks better now
Death or glory just another story Death or glory just another story
From every dingy basement on every dingy street every dragging handclap over every dragging beat That's just the beat of time-the beat that must go on If you’ve been trying for years we already heard your song
Death or glory becomes just another story Death or glory just another story
Gonna march a long way Fight a long time Get to travel over mountains Got to travel over seas We're gonna fight your brother We're gonna fight til you lose We're gonna raise trouble We're gonna raise hell We're gonna fight your brother We're gonna raise hell
Death or glory becomes just another story Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story Death or glory becomes just another story
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui chantent Les rêves qui les hantent Au large d'Amsterdam Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui dorment Comme des oriflammes Le long des berges mornes Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui meurent Pleins de bière et de drames Aux premières lueurs Mais dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui naissent Dans la chaleur épaisse Des langueurs océanes
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui mangent Sur des nappes trop blanches Des poissons ruisselants Ils vous montrent des dents A croquer la fortune A décroisser la lune A bouffer des haubans Et ça sent la morue Jusque dans le coeur des frites Que leurs grosses mains invitent A revenir en plus Puis se lèvent en riant Dans un bruit de tempête Referment leur braguette Et sortent en rotant
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui dansent En se frottant la panse Sur la panse des femmes Et ils tournent et ils dansent Comme des soleils crachés Dans le son déchiré D'un accordéon rance Ils se tordent le cou Pour mieux s'entendre rire Jusqu'à ce que tout à coup L'accordéon expire Alors le geste grave Alors le regard fier Ils ramènent leur batave Jusqu'en pleine lumière
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Y a des marins qui boivent Et qui boivent et reboivent Et qui reboivent encore Ils boivent à la santé Des putains d'Amsterdarn De Hambourg ou d'ailleurs Enfin ils boivent aux dames Qui leur donnent leur joli corps Qui leur donnent leur vertu Pour une pièce en or Et quand ils ont bien bu Se plantent le nez au ciel Se mouchent dans les étoiles Et ils pissent comme je pleure Sur les femmes infidèles
Dans le port d'Amsterdam Dans le port d'Amsterdam.
Le he preguntado a mi sombra a ver como ando para reírme, mientras el llanto, con voz de templo, rompe en la sala regando el tiempo.
Mi sombra dice que reírse es ver los llantos como mi llanto, y me he callado, desesperado y escucho entonces: la tierra llora.
La era está pariendo un corazón, no puede más, se muere de dolor y hay que acudir corriendo pues se cae el porvenir en cualquier selva del mundo, en cualquier calle.
Debo dejar la casa y el sillón, la madre vive hasta que muere el sol, y hay que quemar el cielo si es preciso, por vivir. Por cualquier hombre del mundo, por cualquier casa.
