dress me up,
make me nice again,
shake me up,
dance inside my head.
pull me up,
turn me over,
i promise i’ll behave tonight.

Snow Patrol – New York
Alone in a dark room, a big city, no soul next to you…
Remember the Big Apple…
If you were here beside me
Instead of in New York
If the curve of you was curved on me
I’d tell you that I loved you
Before I even knew you
Cause I loved the simple thought of you
If our hearts are never broken
Well there’s no joy in the mending
There’s so much this hurt can teach us both
Though there’s distance and there’s silence
Your words have never left me
They’re the prayer that I say every day.
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The lone neon lights
And the heat of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps, me in two
If you were here beside me
Instead of in New York
Of the arms you said you’d never leave
I’d tell you that it’s simple
And it was only ever thus
There is nowhere else that I belong
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
Come on, come out, come here, come here
The lone neon lights
And the heat of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all from the love to the lightning
And the lack of it snaps, me in two
Just give me a sign
There’s an end with a beginning
To the quiet chaos driving me back
The lone neon lights
And the warmth of the ocean
And the fire that was starting to go out.

Albumul lunii martie: Poets of the Fall – Temple of Thought
De Poets of the Fall m-am îndrăgostit acum mulți ani, încântată de supărarea lor din „Lift”, dar pe măsură ce-i descopeream, îmi dădeam seama că de fapt, supărarea și agresivitatea nu le e prietenă bună… Poate că e muzică de fete, dacă ai răbdare să le asculți versurile. Poate e prea lentă, pentru a putea să le placă bărbaților…
Și totuși, au devenit celebri datorită unei piese dintr-un joc (Late Goodbye în Max Payne 2). Temple of Thought e al cincilea album de studio (fără să iau în calcul Alchemy Vol. 1 – best of album), lansat pe 21 martie 2012. În prima jumătate a lunii, am ascultat mult Blink-182, dar după lansarea noului album POTF, am rămas să ascult aproape numai Temple of Thought pe repeat.
Albumul începe cu „Running Out of Time”, o piesă care-mi amintește de „Lift”, deși n-are sălbăticia acelei piese și nici pasiunea ei. Pasiunea o regăsesc în „Temple of Thought”, care e o baladă intensă și specială, o declarație de care avem nevoie cu toții uneori… Împreună cu „Cradled in Love”, parcă ar fi fețe diferite ale aceleiași povești.
Pentru că trebuie să ne trezim, pentru că toți avem iubiri care nu ne fac bine, pentru că toți avem o parte sălbatică în noi, „Kamikaze Love”. Iar pentru că nu totul este alb și pur, „The Lie Eternal”. Dar pentru că uneori, doar de iubire ai nevoie și e suficient să cunoști pe cineva pentru asta, „Skin”. Indiferent de „The Distance”, e cineva acolo căruia poți să-i spui „Show Me This Life”.
Pentru că zâmbetul de dimineață e superb pe chipul oricui, „Morning Tide”, și pentru că toți avem nevoie de pace, „The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper”.
Iar pentru final, chiar mi-aș fi dorit un cântec vesel. Am primit doar „The Happy Song”.
Tracklist:
Running Out of Time – 8.5
Why’s it feel, like it kills when you’re leaving me?
Am I still hanging on to the ends of yesterday in me
When I was crying for my fears, bitter tears
But you made me see we’re crazy running
Crazy running out of time
Temple of Thought – 8.5
So when you’re restless,
I will calm the ocean for you
In your sorrow, I will dry your tears
When you need me, I will be the love beside you
I’ll take away all of your fears,
I’ll take away all of your fears
So you can let go all your fears
And you stay
Stay with me when I break down
Like a dream saving
And if words should fail here
I’ll just read the way you sound
Till I know the meaning of love
And life
And it could be I’m understating
What it means
That you’re standing behind every word you say
To make my day slowly dawning
I want you to know you’re the heart of my Temple of Thought
Cradled in Love – 9.5
We took a gamble with this love,
like sailing to the storm
With the waves rushing over to take us,
we were battling against the tide
You were my beacon of salvation,
I was your starlight
Kamikaze Love – 10
Take me where the angles fall
You take it all
You give no quarter for my love
You raise me up to tear me down
Leaves you reeling,
Feels like stealing,
Frantic moments of Kamikaze Love.
The Lie Eternal – 10
You my sweet trial
All my vestiges of hope pin wishes upon this,
To prove I can be right for you and me
This whole damn controversy will shift its course
For better or for worse
In your embrace,
All illusions broken in your embrace.
Skin – 10
And for all this pantomime
You should see the state I’m in
I couldn’t heal myself with time alone
I have you tattooed on my skin
The Distance – 10 (pot să-i dau 11?!)
Still love how you say my name
I still taste your kiss and my pain away
Still see your tears through the rain
This burning sensation sustains
Feel the distance, bring us closer
Won’t anyone come and soothe my pain
We can touch now
Just hold on now
We just will never burn again
Show Me This Life – 8
If I can’t decide to offer my choice
Does it mean I’m replacing the raise in your beautiful voice?
So every time you would tell me a lie, I could happily take it
Before our relations would endly flow by, I wouldn’t even fake it
I though I’d see ‘er for myself
But this life ain’t, it ain’t for me alone
You would’ve thought I would keep it for myself
But you can slice that eye line off my song
Your razor blade caress of love
Morning Tide – 9
I’m the morning tide
We’ll hoist the sails to break the crushing waves
Won’t you come with me and hear the ocean side?
And if to its depths it called us by our names
Won’t you sail to the shore with me?
The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper – 8.5
He takes on the world all in a stride
And your wounds will be scars
So won’t you remember when the night comes
He will need your open arms
For to be invincible he needs your love
For to be invincible he needs your love
The Happy Song – 5.
Ultimele albume (de fapt, ce era în viața mea) m-au îndepărtat de Poets of the Fall. Probabil nu se mai potriveau cu sufletul meu, nu știu exact.
Mă bucur să îi regăsesc acolo unde i-am lăsat, lângă visele care mă fac să dorm frumos, lângă locul sfânt din inima mea, lângă ora de noapte care mă ajută să mă văd…

Inca una despre vise
You are what you dream of. Asta ar trebui sa intelegem cu totii, macar din cand. As vrea sa ne setam teluri mai inalte, si sa respiram cu drag cand privim inainte, pentru ca stim ca nimic nu ne infrange. Orice ar zice lumea, tot ce e in tine te ajuta sa mergi mai departe. Tot ce gandesti e un vis si o cale trasata, de la bun inceput. Esti tu, cu bune si rele, cu drumuri usoare si obstacole grele si nici zambetele ironice, nici ridicarile de umeri nu te pot opri.
Chiar si cand nu ne sustine nimeni, cand doar picioarele noastre ne mai tin acolo sus, trebuie sa avem incredere sa visam in continuare. Orice greseala e o treapta in plus in viata noastra si orice succes e o medalie. Esecul nu-i infrange decat pe cei slabi, care nu viseaza niciodata. Don’t give up!
Imi iau libertatea de a sublinia ce e mai important (cititi „a boldui”):
It’s six o clock and I’m wide awake and dreaming
I’m thinking back to a time before our separate lives
A time where I could make you mine oooh
I made a promise I was never gonna hurt you
I wrote a letter and divided all the words in two
Half for me and half for you oooh
Now I’m sending out a searchlight along latitudes and satellites
Don’t give up don’t give up don’t give up on our love story when you can’t
Go on
Don’t give up don’t give up always dark before the morning when you can’t
Go on
You be a brave heart I’ll be a lion’s roar
And love surrenders to win the war
In the silence I hear every word you’re thinking
Like the shimmer of a far away and distant star
Guess love could never travel that far no
And I can’t believe it’s come to this
All our secret codes and battleships
Don’t give up don’t give up don’t give up on our love story when you can’t
Go on
Don’t give up don’t give up always dark before the morning when you can’t
Go on
You be a brave heart I’ll be a lion’s roar
And love surrenders to win the war
And I wanna run away from this but I never leave a sinking ship no
Without you in it there’s no point to our story oooh
And I can’t believe it’s come to this
All our secret codes and battleships no
Without you in it there’s no point to our story oooh
Don’t ever let me go no no no
Don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go

Albumul lunii – Born To Die
Albumul lunii februarie a fost, neașteptat pentru mine, Born To Die, by Lana Del Rey. Inițial, nici n-a fost pe lista mea de to-hear, maybe cause of all the hype around her. A fost scandalul de la Saturday Night Live, când toată lumea vorbea despre cât de bine sau nu cântă live, despre cât de varză e sau nu și despre banii tatălui său, care i-au înlesnit sau nu intrarea în industria muzicală.
Piesele au un sunet aparte, ciudat, au un feel vintage and you either love them or hate them. Nu are o prezență ușor de abordat, deși n-aș zice că e chiar breath of fresh air, nu are o voce ușor digerabilă (pentru o femeie pare genul de sex kitten, care ar putea să-i amenințe statutul). Albumul este constant în ceea ce privește sunetul și temele abordate și îmi place că are un aer ușor feeric, deși se menține aproape de uman.
Review-ul nu e foarte lung, pentru că deși e albumul lunii, este destul de simpluț, lipsit de complexități și chestii filosofice. Cu toate astea, e bine închegat și e bun de ascultat, especially if you are in bad mood (relationship wise).
Tracklist:
1. Born To Die – 9.5
2. Off To The Races – 10
3. Blue Jeans – 6
4. Video Games – 8
5. Diet Mountain Dew – 9
6. National Anthem – 6
7. Dark Paradise – 7
8. Radio – 5
9. Carmen – 5
10. Million Dollar Man – 9.5
11. Summertime Sadness – 10
12. This Is What Makes Us Girls – 10
Am fost obsedată de Born To Die, Off To The Races și Summertime Sadness, atunci când am ascultat prima dată albumul. Mi-a plăcut și Video Games, și i-am acordat și lui un loc de vreo 2 zile pe repeat. Momentan, mă bucur de This Is What Makes Us Girls. Enjoy it!
This is what makes us girls
We all look for heaven and we put our love first
Somethin’ that we’d die for, it’s our curse
Don’t cry about it, don’t cry about it

Stiri din muzica
I talk to ghosts. Doar pentru ca lanseaza un nou album pe 27 februarie (like, who cares?), s-a gandit ca putina publicitate nu strica. Mai bine zicea ca a facut sex cu Michael sau Elvis, era mai „senzational!”. Citez din spusele marelui artist: I chased one across the room once. And when we were making ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ I saw a blonde girl in a white dress. I went downstairs and told the guys, ‘There’s a groupie up on the balcony,’ and they go, ‘How would she get up there?’ Everybody went up and no one was there.
A naked Playboy shoot is on my bucket list. Cine? Sinead O’Connor! Pur si simplu, speachless. Because The singer has just released a new album, ‘How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?’, and will embark on an UK tour in March., that’s why. In caz ca nu mai stiti cum arata Sinead, here’s a pic. Click at your own risk.
Paris Hilton still thinks she can sing.
Cineva crede ca inca mai are dreptul sa judece industria muzicala. Boo-hoo, the big bad wolf!
At least, something is still right in this world. No jerks allowed at the Oscars!
Also, this. Snow Patrol (si Kasabian, but meh…) – headlineri la T in the Park. Una din formatiile mele preferate, headliner la unul din festivalurile pe care imi doresc sa le vad de vreo 10 ani.

Happy Birthday to some people…
Azi e ziua unor oameni mari. Ladies and gents, I give you Giles! Pentru cunoscătorii fini, e Anthony (Stewart) Head. Pentru cei mai puțin fini, e Giles din Buffy. Pentru restul, e „cine-i ăsta?”. (Împlinește doar 58 de ani, wow!)
Also, Kurt Cobain.
Also, Rihanna.
