Sinto-me Alive!

PlayList V - Optimus Alive

Menos de 24horas e eu estarei lá, a viver tudo, de todas as maneiras. Hoje sinto-me Alive, com aquele excitaçãozinha irritante. Dedico o meu espaço a Neil Young, que estará no palco principal do festival no dia 12.

"Heart of Gold". Uma delícia.



I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.

PlayList IV - Optimus Alive

Faltam apenas dois dias. Em fase de preparação, deixo-vos com toda a alegria e folia dos Gogol Bordello, que subirão ao palco já no dia 10. Uma mistura de culturas que vai explodir em alegria e muita, muita dança.

"Not a Crime"



Drop the charges!

[Russian]:Gimme the forbidden!

The fire and the power, yuh?!

[Ukrainian]

(In the old time it was not a crime, drop the charges,
Don't you realise the sun rises?)

(Drop the charges, man! Drop the charges!)

(Right you are! And this time, let the people know...)

In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!
(What are you talking about?)
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!

Not a crime!
(It's all nonsensical!)
Not a crime!

In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!

(*coughs*)
Not a crime!
Drop the charges!
Not a crime!
Not a crime!
Not a crime!

Reality!

[Russian]: Oh, gimme the forbidden! Aphorism*
Spices, creation, realisation, naturalisation,
What are you talking about? It's all about time 'cos today you go to nature.

Not a crime!
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!
In the old time, in the old time,
In the old time it was not a crime!

(Not a crime, not a crime!)
Not a crime!
[Russian]: Oh, gimme the forbidden!
Not a crime!
Not a crime!
Drop the charges, man!
Not a crime!
Drop the charges!

[Russian] [I] have been sitting dangling my legs, [I] didn't want to work
Not a crime!
[Russian] [I] have been sitting dangling my legs, [I] didn't want to work
Not a crime!
(It's not a crime, it's legal - perfectly natural).

O filme da semana.

PlayList III - Optimus Alive

Já farta de esperar, hoje opto por Ben Harper, que actuará no festival no dia 12 de Julho, com os "The Innocent Criminals". Que eu esteja lá para ver, viver e sentir cada momento.

Música que acalma a alma.

"Widow of a living man"



mama why does he treat me so cold
why do i feel so old
how long has he treated me unkind
or have i always been so blind

i'm the widow of a living man

why can't the times stay the same
now i am begging him to change
what about all the plans we made
now i am so afraid

i'm the widow of a living man

why does he hurt me so
i'm gonna need someplace to go
he's no longer some kind woman's son
mama i think that i had better run

i'm the widow of a living man



Para ti, Joana, que não vais ouvir Ben Harper comigo mas é como se lá estivesses=)*

PlayList II - Optimus Alive

Seis dias.
O dia estava choroso e pedia uma música assim. Bob Dylan actuará no dia 11 de Julho, nos festival Optimus Alive. Para miúdos e graúdos, recomenda-se.

Bob Dylan com "Blind Willie McTell". Palavras para quê.



Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Saying, "This land is condemned
All the way from New Orleans
To Jerusalem."
I traveled through East Texas
Where many martyrs fell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Well, I heard the hoot owl singing
As they were taking down the tents
The stars above the barren trees
Were his only audience
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Can strut their feathers well
But nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

See them big plantations burning
Hear the cracking of the whips
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
(And) see the ghosts of slavery ships
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
(I can) hear the undertaker's bell
(Yeah), nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

There's a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He's dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
There's a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebels yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

Well, God is in heaven
And we all want what's his
But power and greed and corruptible seed
Seem to be all that there is
I'm gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell

PlayList - Optimus Alive

Falta uma semana para o festival Optimus Alive. O festival apresenta uma mão cheia de bandas interessantes com destaque para os Rage Against the Machine, que vêm, finalmente, dar de beber aos que têm sede de os ver ao vivo.
A banda de Tom Morello, Zack de la Rocha, Tim Commerford e Brad Wilk estará em Portugal no dia 10 de Julho.
No que toca à minha pessoa, bem, resta-me uma semana para me preparar fisica e psicologicamente para o grande mosh que me vai atacar!=)

A música de hoje: Sleep Now in the Fire




YEAAAH!

The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists and march around
Dont dare take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or i'll drag you to your grave
I'm deep inside your children
They'll betray you in my name

Hey!
Hey!
Sleep now in the fire

Hey!
Hey!
Sleep now in the fire

The lie is my expense
The scope with my desire
The party blessed me with its future
And i protect it with fire
I am the nina, the pinta, the santa maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire

Hey!
Hey!
Sleep now in the fire

Hey!
Hey!
Sleep now in the fire

For it's the end of history
It's caged and frozen still
There is no other pill to take
So swallow the one
That makes you ill
The nina, the pinta, the santa maria
The noose and the rapist, the fields' overseer
The agents of orange
The priests of hiroshima
The cost of my desire
Sleep now in the fire

YEAAAH!

Sleep now in the fire!
