3 Vídeos, 3 Músicas

Resolvi fazer uma pequena seleção de músicas que devem ser ouvidas por todos. Dois dos clipes são altamente recomendados (Veto e Röyksopp), já o clipe do Lovage não é tão bom, mas pelo menos por curiosidade…

Tanto a letra quanto a arte do clipe de You’re Like A Knife são bastante interessantes. O resto do álgum do Veto também vale muita a pena, pena que tenha recebido tão pouco destaque aqui no Brasil, no entanto dizem que na Dinamarca eles são muito conhecidos.

O Röyksopp faz uma música eletrônica bastante sombria e aqui, com a música What Else Is There?, temos um ótimo exemplo disso, embora essa seja a única música do álbum que tenha a participação da vocalista do The Knife.

Quanto ao Lovage, quem conhece sabe das suas músicas carregadas de duplo sentido e que só pensam… naquilo. A começar pelo nome da banda que é uma planta considerada afrodisíaca (são sei o nome dela em português), depois o nome do álbum (Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By). Considero o Mike Patton um bom músico (mesmo com seus estrelismos), aqui ele se juntou a três outros bons músicos pra nos presentear com algo que se pode chamar de Fuck-music.

Veto – You’re Like A knife

We’ve got till the break of dawn
We have to just carry on
We’ve got till the sun comes up
Keep up the speed and never stop

You’ve got your guns and war machines
You’re like a knife, you cut things clean
There’s no one here to end this war
No one knows what you wage it for

You walk and walk proud
Elbows out
You will never stop
nor give up

You got your guns and war machines
You’re like a knife you cut things clean
But there’s a beat in all machines
And a song in everything

You walk and walk proud
Elbows out
You will never stop
nor give up
Drive and drive fast
You will never stop
The road was paved for you
and just you

Röyksopp – What Else Is There?

It was me on that road
But you couldn’t see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn’t see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm, I am the wonder
And the flashlights, nigthmares
And sudden explosions

I don’t know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It’s about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for

I’ve got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And What else is there?
Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have flashlights, nightmares and sudden explosions

I don’t know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have flashlights, nightmares and sudden explosions

There is no room where I can go and
You’ve got secrets too

I don’t know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

Lovage – Stroker Ace

monsieur Dan
can i come with you
as you both look awfully kind

sadly he and me are through
let me tell you what i’ve got in mind
i’ll sing to you my mewing charm
looks like you both could use a pet
and purr my purr all night long
i think a pussy’s your best pet

stroke that shiny coat
stroking is the antidote
stroke that, it’s a start
only for the wild at heart
stroke that shiny coat
stroking is the antidote
stroke that shiny coat
stroking’s what it’s all about

my tail alone could tell you tales
it’s got a life all of its own
watch it move just like a sail
sail you to the twilight zone

stroke that shiny coat
stroking is the antidote
stroke that, it’s a start
only for the wild at heart
stroke that shiny coat
stroking is the antidote
stroke that shiny coat
stoking’s what it’s all about

i like to watch, if you don’t mind
every sphinx knows how to pass the time
your little love nest suits me well
let me show you how to cast a spell
