A música mais conhecida de Tim Buckley, músico experimentalista dos anos 60, ao vivo.
É provável que conheçam melhor a versão do This Mortal Coil project. Gosto das duas versões mas prefiro a de Buckley, sem dúvida.
A versão original do álbum Starsailor do Tim Buckley está aqui.
Tim Buckley - Song to the Siren
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, touch me not,
touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing, swim to me,
swim to me, let me enfold you:
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
O magnífico George Carlin morreu hoje à noite. Tenho pena. Gostava de o ter conseguido ver ao vivo e gostava dele. Era um mau-feitio rezingão cheio de talento e com uma grande paixão pela linguagem. Notícia aqui.
(…) I don’t wanna have to shout it out
I don’t want my hair to fall out
I don’t wanna be filled with doubt
I don’t wanna be a good boy scout
I don’t wanna have to learn to count
I don’t wanna have the biggest amount
I don’t wanna grow up (…)
The Pipettes - Because It’s Not Love (But It’s Still A Feeling)
I don’t want to fall in love
I don’t want to see the stars up above in the sky
I just wanna catch your eye
I don’t want to be wined and dined
I just want to bump and grind with you here tonight
Because you move so right
(…) Because it’s not love
But it’s still a feeling
No it’s not love
But my body’s reeling
To move closer next to you (…)
