[Pe Repeat] Darren Hayes – Hurt

Nu stiu daca am mentionat deja pe aici marea mea slabiciunea – care NU este guilty pleasure: Darren Hayes.

Imi place de foarte multi ani si il reascult mereu cu placere. Versurile lui mi-au vorbit la per tu dintotdeauna si azi am redescoperit una din melodiile de pe ultimul album, pe care – desi am ascultat-o de multe ori in ultimele luni, de-abia azi m-a lovit. => pe repeat. Mai jos versurile si si mai jos press play.

Darren Hayes – Hurt

If you want something broke you better give it to me
I’ve got a way of disappointing that you wouldn’t believe
I can take a good intention and turn it on it’s head
I can make you pray to God and wish we’d never met

Nobody knows where this razor has been
If you want something broken better give it to me

Because I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low I’ll make you want to cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
You’d be better off with somebody else
So put me back on the shelf
See I’m the kind of person who can barely be loved
I solve every equation with a push and a shove
Now that I love you I’m afraid it’s too late
If you get too close I’ll only push you away

Because I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low I’ll make you want to cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around
I was better lost before I was found
I’ve got a history of misery so baby listen to me
Put me back on the shelf and give this pain to somebody else
Yeah

Because I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low I’ll make you want to cry
I can make you say goodbye
I can make you hurt
I can take you down so low and then you’ll know that maybe
You’d be better off when I’m not around

[New Entry] The Like

I kinda like The Like. Sunt asa… soft & springy, la limita intre pop si indie. Ele (pentru ca vorbim de o trupa de fete!) spun ca e si ceva rock pe acolo, dar daca e, atunci e unul foarte soft. Sau poate asta e impresia din cauza vocii feminine. Oricum, pentru cand ai chef de ceva muzica energetica si fresh, asa, ca o dimineata de primavara, poti sa pui The Like fara probleme.

Pana acum au lansat 2 albume de studio:

• Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking? (2005)
• Release Me (2010)

De pe Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking imi plac Bridge to Nowhere si Falling Away. De pe Release Me am pastrat Wishing He Was Dead, He’s Not a Boy si Catch Me If You Can.

Mai suna fains si The One si Too Late, dar nu chiar de ascultat pe repeat.

De altfel, cam asta ar fi si concluzia generala. The Like: ascultabil, dar nu indispensabil.

[Pe Repeat] Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know

Pe repeat de cateva sapamani. Need more.

Teena Marie

In ultima vreme am ajuns la concluzia ca lipseste putin funk din viata mea Ca idee si concept, funk-ul cred ca mi se potriveste, insa cu exceptia clasicelor lui James Brown, nu mi-au atras atentia alte melodii. Iar artisti, nici atat.

De Teena Marie auzisem de bine: funk+soul+r’n'b parea combinatia castigatoare. Pentru ca are o discografie bogata, am ales doar o colectie selectiva ca sample. Dar… n-a fost lozul castigator. Prea 80′s, prea clasic, prea big vocals. Mi-a amintit putin de Whitney Houston.

Concluzia dupa vreo 10 melodii ascultate: not for me.

Si deci mai am de cautat pana sa gasesc ceva funk pe gustul meu…

[Pe Repeat] Louis Jordan – Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby

Cu melodia aceasta imi incep eu diminetile de ceva timp.

Louis Jordan – Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby

I got a gal who’s always late
Any time we have a date
But I love her
Yes I love her

I’m gonna walk right up to her gate
And see if I can get it straight
‘Cause I want her
I’m gonna ask her

Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?
The way you’re actin’ lately makes me doubt
Yous is still my baby-baby
Seems my flame in your heart’s done gone out

A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you’re sure of one
You find she’s gone and made a change

Is you is or is you ain’t my baby
Maybe baby’s found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?

Is you is or is you ain’t my baby
Maybe baby’s found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?

[New Entry] Pomplamoosse

Pomplamoosse sunt un duo american care canta un indie fragil, cu influente french si foarte instrumental. Trademark-ul lor sunt instrumentele multe si diverse folosite, care dau melodiilor un feeling foarte delicat si jucaus. Sunt foarte potriviti atunci cand ai ai chef de soapte cristaline si zglobii.

Pomplamoose’s presence is primarily videos on YouTube and MySpace with few live performances gathering over 322,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel as of October 2011. The group first gained widespread recognition when their video performance of Hail Mary was featured on the front page of YouTube.

Their videos mostly take the form of “VideoSongs”, a medium Jack Conte defines with two rules:

1. What you see is what you hear. (No lip-syncing for instruments or voice)
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it. (No hidden sounds)

(via Wiki)

Pentru mine sunt putin prea… indie-pop, dar cel putin melodiile Pas Encore si Bust Your Knee Caps sunt de pastrat.

[New Entry] Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Nu mai stiu cum sau cand am auzit prima oara de Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, dar asteptau de ceva vreme in folderul meu To be checked out.

Un blues-indie-rockish chiar placut. Imi aminteste de Vonda Shepard, dar parca nu la fel de inocenta. Cumva, intrevad in melodiile ei ‘procesul de fabricare’ – si asta, pentru mine, nu e un lucru bun. Parca si putin de Kelly Clarkson pe alocuri.

Discography

•     Nothing But the Water (2005)
•     This Is Somewhere (2007)
•     Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (2010)

Unele melodii sunt foarte soothing, de ambianta; altele sunt putin prea pop-country pentru gustul meu; altele chiar au ceva atitudine!

Mi-au placut in mod deosebit: Oasis, Only Love, One short night, Hot summer night – toate de pe albumul Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (2010)
