James Blake

Este senhor ganhou uma nova fã. Eu. Adoro esta também, que foi a primeira que ouvi. Grande, grande música.

Bom dia!

Em modo repeat

É nestas horas de sossego que melhor tenho conseguido trabalhar. A Bárbara adormece e eu agarro-me ao computador. Não sem custo, que o sofá chama por mim. Mas músicas como esta ajudam-me a concentrar, a ganhar ritmo, a marcar passo. 

Versões

Para mim um exemplo em que, claramente, a cover é mil vezes superior à versão original. A letra, é qualquer coisa de genial.

A versão original, de Leonard Cohen

Cover de Jeff Buckley, que não tinha nada que ter morrido tão cedo

A letra

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah 

Eu e as bandas sonoras #1

Uma das músicas mais fabulosas de toda a saga Harry Potter. Arrepio-me toda. E gosto.
