I had a dream, Joe...

I had a dream
I had a dream
I had a dream, Joe


I had a dream, Joe
You were standing in the middle of an open road
I had a dream, Joe
Your hands were raised up to the sky
And your mouth was covered in foam
I had a dream, Joe
A shadowy Jesus flitted from tree to tree
I had a dream, Joe
And a society of whores stuck needles in an image of me
I had a dream, Joe
It was Autumn time and thickly fell the leaves
And in that dream, Joe
A pimp in seersucker suit sucked a toothpick
And pointed his finger at me


I had a dream,
I had a dream,
I had a dream, Joe


I opened my eyes, Joe
The night had been a giant, dribbling and pacing the boards
I opened my eyes, Joe
All your letters and cards stacked up against the door
I opened my eyes, Joe
The morning light came slowly tumbling through the crack
In the window, Joe
And I thought of you and I felt like I was lugging
A body on my back


I had a dream,
I had a dream,
I had a dream, Joe


Where did you go, Joe?
On that endless, senseless, demented drift
Where did you go, Joe?
Into the woods, into the trees, where you move and shift
Where did you go, Joe?
All dressed up in your ridiculous seersucker suit
Where did you go, Joe?
With that strew of wreckage
Forever at the heel of your boot

My top 3 mom&son songs

И разбира се, личната ми класация на тези песни не е във възходящ или низходящ ред. Тези песни не мога да ги подредя по никакъв начин, защото и трите ги обичам страшно много. Едно време плачех на Mama Said на Металика, тъй като съм майка на момче и текстът успя да ме докосне. Точно заради това, че вече осъзнавам колко е трудно да пуснеш птичето да порасне и да отлети. :)

Искрено се надявам и да успея да избегна точно това синът ми да приема обичта ми за даденост  и да осъзнае, че любовта не е нещо, което се получава ей така "на готово", а трябва да я пазиш, да се грижиш за нея и да я цениш във всеки един миг. Да, любовта на майката е безрезервна, истинска и силна, но все пак... нека не оценяваме това чак когато го изгубим.

I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stone's all I see


Друга песен, която наскоро открих е Momma Sed на Puscifer. Много ми допадат и мелодията и текста. За незапознатите Puscifer e солов проект на Maynard James Keenan, вокал на Tool и A Perfect Circle. В текста на песента майката все едно окуражава и успокоява сина си.

Momma said like the rain (This, too, shall pass)
Like a kidney stone (This, too, shall pass)
It's just a broken heart, son
This pain will pass away.


Разбира се, Simple Man на Lynyrd Skynyrd е песен, която може да те докосне и... въпреки че съм жена и аз бих дала обещание на майка си да живея простичко и да се обичам такава каквато съм:

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Show me some love
whisper my name
I love how it sounds
I'm burning in flames.

Липсваш ни!

И днес слушам едни от любимите ти песни. Онези, които иначе често отбягвам, защото от спомените все още боли.


Today I stumbled from my bed
With thunder crashing in my head
And my pillow still wet
From last night's tears
And as I think of giving up
A voice inside my coffee-cup
Kept crying out
Ringing in my ears

Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Why are children always first
To feel the pain and hurt the worst
It's cruel but somehow
It just don't seem right
'Cause every time I cry I know
It hurts my little children so
And I wonder will it be the same tonight

Don't cry daddy
Daddy, please don't cry
Daddy, you've still got me and little Tommy
Together we'll find a brand new mommy
Daddy, daddy, please laugh again
Daddy ride us on your back again
Oh, daddy, please don't cry
Oh, daddy, please don't cry

Nina Simone - Here Comes the Sun

Защото каквато и пустош,
каквато и зима
да е вилняла из душата
и разбърквала мисълта
вледенявала сърцето...

Слънцето винаги изгрява.
И всичко ще бъде наред!



Here comes the sun Little Darlin',
here comes the sun I say,
it's all right,
it's all right

Little Darlin'
it's been a long cold and lonely winter,
Little Darlin'
it feels like years since you've been here.

Little Darlin'
the smiles have returned to the faces now.
Little Darlin' it seems like years since you've been here

Little Darlin',
it's been a long cold lonely winter,
Little Darlin'
it feels like years since you've been here.

Here comes the sun,
aren't you glad to see it.
I say it's all right

Here comes the sun Little Darlin',
I say it's alright
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun
I say
Little Darlin',
it seems like years since you've been here
Little Darlin'
here comes the sun.
It's all right
You can come on out
It's alright now.

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

J. Morrison

She (Ella)

Много истинска, красива, женска песен

Arms around your love

With his arms around your love
Oh no, here comes the pain that you can't ignore

With his arms around your girl
He'll do all of the things you didn't do before
You had every chance, but you closed the door

Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it

With his arms around your love (x3)

Oh, yeah

Pretend that you don't mind
But you know everything that you left behind

And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside
You thought she'd hang around for the ride

Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it

With his arms around your love (x3)

Coming clean feels so dangerous
Just a little bit would have been enough
But you never said all the words caught in your head

As if your heart was dead
Well now its surely bled and broken up

And it would have been alright
If you'd gave half of the praise that you held inside
You thought she'd hang around for the ride

Now you're just gonna have to take it
(Cause if you didn't know)
She's gonna make you pay for it
(At a price you can't afford)
You're just gonna have to take it

With his arms around your love

Last flowers

Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief, relief, relief

And if I'm gonna talk
I just want to talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

'Cause I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief, relief, relief
Relief, relief

It's too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful

Няколко парчета

които слушам с удоволствие всеки ден.

Не само заради мелодията, ами и заради думичките :).

Като цяло съм голям почитател на това хубавата музика да има смислен текст. Песен без думи или с mumble-humble не ми допада.

Когато бях малка, заради това че слушах групи, които пеят на английски, започнах да уча този език. Исках да разбирам за какво пеят. Та думите за мен лично правят 50% от песента.

Ето част от моя списък от любими песни с любими текстове (ще се спра до 10):

1. Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town - Pearl Jam




2. Ain't no grave - Johnny Cash



3. Just - Radiohead



4. Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd



5. Wish you were here - Pink Floyd



6. Green is the colour - Pink Floyd
/тук се спирам насилствено с парчетата на Floyd, защото съм склонна да прекаля/



7. Foo Fighters - Walk



7. Did I Let You Know - Red Hot Chili Peppers



8. Valerie - Amy Winehouse



9. You do something to me - Paul Weller



10. Something Beautiful - Robbie Williams

Кажи ми за какво си тук, аз дойдох за да изчезна

Чудесно живо изпълнение на REM



I dragged my feet across a seat
Jumped out the passenger side
The only thing worth looking for
Is what you find inside

But that had not yet appeared
Lost invisible here.
Tel Aviv and Agadir
Tone deaf for almost
Before I learned to see
The vanishing point appeared.

I looked for you everywhere
I looked for you everywhere.

There is a calm I haven't come to yet
I spent half my life figuring what comes next
I telescoped in I finally win
I finally win the prize

That now my eyes see comets perfect timing squeeze
Head first fighting everything
The crushing force of memory
Erasing all I've been
The vanishing point appeared.

I looked for you everywhere.
I looked for you everywhere.
Tell me why you're here.
I came to disappear.

Look at this face
Can you believe it?
Am I living in the beautiful vacuum?
Because I can't see it
The vanishing point appears.

I looked for you everywhere.
I looked for you everywhere.
Tell me why you're here.
I came to disappear.
Tell me why you're here.
I came to disappear.
I came to disappear.

Nobody Home

Велик!




I've got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.

I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I've got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favorite satin shirt.
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.

I've got wild staring eyes.
And I've got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone

"Surprise, surprise, surprise..." (from Gomer Pyle show)

There's still nobody home.

I've got a pair of Gohills boots
and I got fading roots.

"Where the hell are you?"
"Over 47 german planes were destroyed with the loss of only 15 of our own aircraft"
"Where the hell are you Simon?"
[Machine gun sound, followed by plane crashing]

Много, много любимо!

Moby - Dream about me

Мечтай за мен,
По телефона ме лъжи.
Не ми казвай истини,
Ако от тях ще боли
Има достатъчно неща в живота ми
От които съм тъжна...

Нека просто помечтаем
За цвят изпълващ живота ни
Нека просто помечтаем
За някой друг тази вечер.

Мечтай за мен
По телефона докато говорим тихо.
Искам да съм твоя,
Искам да си мой.
На фона на червени небеса
за дълги времена.

Нека помечтаем за нас
когато сме стари
Нека помечтаем
Как на чувствата ще се отдам.

и...
и...

Мечтай за мен,
По телефона ме лъжи.
Не ми казвай истини,
Ако от тях ще боли
Има достатъчно неща в живота ми
От които съм тъжна...

Gnarls Barkley - Who cares

It's deep how you can be so shallow
And I'm afraid cause I have no fear
And I didn't believe in magic
Until I watched you disappear

Anyone that needs what they want, and doesn’t want what they need
I want nothing to do with
And to do what I want
And to do what I please
Is first of my to-do list

Джон Уинстън Оно Ленън (на английски: John Winston Ono Lennon) - английски рок музикант и автор на песни, общественик, художник, актьор и писател. По-скоро бих казала, че е легенда в рок музиката. За мен е така :).

Днес (да се чете 09.10.2010) щеше да навърши 70 години...

RIP

The Muppets

Още ги харесвам много!

Habanera


Bohemian Rhapsody

Представи си...

Представи си да ти съобщят, че майка ти е починала, но всъщност не е истина.

Според легендата за песента "Maggot Brain" това е казал George Clinton (oсновател на групата Funkadelic) на Eddie Hazel (соло китарист на групата). Резултатът е 10-минутното соло в "Maggot Brain", с което Hazel е запомнен от много музикални критици и фенове.



Парчето няма много кавъри. Ето един доста сполучлив, обаче:
