Ainda nos anos infames anos 90 mostraram-me um álbum da Lisa Ekdahl e fiquei fã. Não uma fã incondicional, porque para as canções em sueco não há paciência! Mas gosto da voz dela e do sotaque.

É só para quem gosta de bombons auditivos.

Lisa Ekdahl - Now or never

Lisa Ekdahl - It Had to Be You

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

Quando esta música saiu detestei. Achei que o refrão era mole e desajeitado. Inaceitável!
Agora é uma das minhas músicas preferidas dos RHCP.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh)

NIN - Hurt

(…)
Beneath the stains of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here (…)

Ramones - I Don’t Want To Grow Up

(…)
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 (…)
