Carly Simon

A cantora, que lançou esse hit em 1988, até onde me lembro, diz que nunca vai revelar de quem ela fala na música "You're So Vain" por que, se disser, ninguém vai ter mais nada a perguntar a ela! heheheh
Esse hit pop romântico marcou muito bailinho da vassoura, tenho certeza. Marcou os meus, pelo menos. É deste álbum aqui:



COMING AROUND AGAIN

Baby sneezes
Mummy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

(chorus)
I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toasted
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
burn the Soufflé
Scream the lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
there's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But what else can I do
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
(repeat and fade)

Quem não se lembra do Men Without Hats? Se você não se lembra, tente lembrar de Safety Dance, uma das únicas músicas da banda que fizeram sucesso. Todos os riffs oitentistas estão contidos nesta música. Impossível não lembrar ao ouvir. Dê uma passada na Usina do Som e ouça.
Aqui vai a letra, pra quem não cansa dessas coisas (como eu). Aliás, saudades da Letras Traduzidas Bizz. Hoje em dia não existe mais. Tem umas edições especiais, só com letras toscas. Acho que é saudosismo e preciosismo. Na verdade, eu gostaria que lançassem um revival de Letras Traduzidas, só com 80s. Isso sim.

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to, a place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

We can go when we want to, the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude or totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

Say we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody taken the chance

The safety dance
The safety dance
The safety dance

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it we are never going to lose it
And everything will work out right

Say, we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
well they're no friend of mine

Chorus

Eba, devo comprar um pogobol em breve!!!

E mais uma letra de música:
Bomb the Bass - Don't Make me Wait

Baby, don't make me wait
Don't let me stay in and out of love
Baby, don't make me wait
Don't let me stay in and out of love

With your heartbeat so close to mine
I begin to feel my passion grow
A new love is so hard to find
So why won't you be my Romeo?

Só adicionando alguns fatos à música, o Big Country é uma banda americana que, no começo da carreira, abriu para Alice Cooper, A Certain Ratio, U2, entre outros. O caras começaram em 1981 e parece que está aí até hoje!

Essa música é um clássico. Quem estava lá, nos seus 10 a 15 anos, ou até mais, lembra bem. Eu estava na sexta série, algo assim. Quando tocava era aquela loucura pra tentar colocar a fita no ponto e gravar no k7.

"In A Big Country"

Come up screaming
Come up screaming

I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you

I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
Stay alive

So take that look out of here it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor—come up screaming
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted

I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert
But I can live and breathe
And see the sun in wintertime

In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive (repeat 3)

Olha, o blog anda quase morto, mas para quem ainda vem aqui para uma dose refrescante de anos 80, eu aviso que a minha rádio na usina do som está feliz e contente, com conteúdo bem variado e representativo. Todos os hits, etc e tal. Olha uma amostra e, logo abaixo, o link:

It's a Sin - Pet Shop Boys
Running - Information Society
Fui Eu - Sempre Livre
Up Where We Belong - Joe Cocker e Jennifer Warner e outras mais...
