Beirut - Postcards from Italy




Beirut, müzik ve harmoniyi iyi bilen, onunla yaşayan genç isimlerden biri...Zach Condon ve grubu dünya müziği severlerin listelerinde önemli bir koltuğa sahip. Bugün İtalya'dan bir kartpostal alınca paylaşmadan edemedim :)

Beirut, a young name who understands the music and the harmony well...Zach Condon and his band has now a special place in the world music fans' lists. I couldn't stop sharing this track today as I recieved a postcard from Italy :) Enjoy.

The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go

The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, those were our times

And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine

Lana Del Rey - Video Games



Elizabeth Grant, Liz Grant ya da sahne adıyla Lana Del Roy. İlk etapta şımarık bir New-York kızı gibi görünüyor, sonra bir bakıyorsunuz, gerçekten şımarık bir New-york kızı :) Fakat şarkılarında taşıdığı melankoli ve dalgın ama huzurlu duruş, metropol insanının ruhuna iyi gidebilecek bir müziğe dönüşmüş. Ocak ayında Born to Die diye de yeni bir albümü çıkıyormuş.

Elizabeth Grant, Liz Grant or with her stage name Lana Del Roy; seems to be a spoiled New-York girl at the first glance. When you look deeper, woow she is a spoiled New-York girl! :) But the melancholia, calmness and the peacefull state in her songs have the strength to heel the souls of the metropolis people.

And there will be a new album released on the January next year. fyi.
Enjoy,

Swinging in the backyard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistling my name
Open up a beer
And you say get over here
And play a video game
I'm in his favorite sun dress
Watching me get undressed
Take that body downtown
I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
Singing in the old bars
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games
He holds me in his big arms
Drunk and I am seeing stars
This is all I think of
Watching all our friends fall
In and out of Old Paul's
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do
(Now you do)
It's you, it's you, it's all for you
Everything I do
I tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you want to do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It's better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

Ella Fitzgerald - Accentuate the positive

Accentuate the Positive by Ella Fitzgerald on Grooveshark

Efsanelerin sözlerine inanmalıyız...Ella diyor ki, positif olun. negatifi atın.

We should believe and have faith in legends' words... Ella tells us to ac-cent-tu-ate the positive, illuminate the negative. :)

Enjoy.

 Gather 'round me everybody
 Gather 'round me, while I preach some
 Feel a sermon coming on here
 The topic will be sin
 And that's what I'm agin'
 If you wanna hear my story
 Then settle back and just sit tight
 While I start reviewing
 The attitude of doing right!

 You've got to accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmative
 Don't mess with Mister In-Between
 You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
 Bring gloom down to the minimum
 Have faith or pandemonium
 Liable to walk upon the scene
 (To illustrate his last remark
 Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
 What did they do
 Just when everything looked so dark)
 Man, they said we better
 Accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmative
 Don't mess with Mister In-Between
 No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
 Do you hear me, hmm?
 (Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
 About the elininatin' of the negative
 And the accent on the positive)
 And gather 'round me children if you're willin'
 And sit tight while I start reviewin'
 The attitude of doin' right
 (You've gotta accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmative
 Don't mess with Mister In-Between)
 You've got to spread joy (up to the maximum)
 Bring gloom (down) down to the minimum
 Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
 Liable to walk upon the scene
 To illustrate (well illustrate)
 my last remark (you got the floor)
 Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
 What did they say (what did they say)
 Say when everything looked so dark
 Man, they said we better
 Accentuate the positive
 Eliminate the negative
 Latch on to the affirmative
 Don't mess with Mister In-Between
 No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Princess Chelsea - Cigarette Duet



Yeni Zellanda'da 2010 yılında 420'den fazla çift sigara ve sigara içmeyle ilintili promlemler yüzünden ayrılmışlar.

Princess Chelsea ise bu istatistiği dramaturize etmiş, bestelemiş, görüntülemiş, kişilik sahibi bir parça haline getirmiş. The Brunettes adlı grupta yer alan Chelsea Nikkel adlı şarkıcı ve yakın arkadaşları (yine The Brunettes'ten) Jonathan Brunette, Pikachunes, Bradley Artesque and Gay Kings Queen, özellikle Walt Disney, J.S. Bach, Pinkfloyd ve Hans Zimmer etkilerini taşıdıyan Princess Chelsea adlı solo proje Princess Chelsea'yi yapmışlar. Projede ayrıca Dr Dre, Grieg, Air, Jonathan Richman, Alan Menken, Daniel Johnston, Enya, The Beach Boys, Kraftwerk, West Auckland gibi bir çok isimden etkilenerek müzik icra ediyorlarmış.
 
In 2010 more than 420 couples split up due the problems associated with cigarette smoking.

Princess Chelsea has dramatized this statistical data, composed, filmed and turned this simple data in to a characteristic track "Cigarette Duet". Princess Chelsea is not the band but a solo project; which includes the singer of New Zeeland band The Brunettes' singer Chelsea Nikkel and again other friends Jonathan Brunette (also from the Brunettes), Pikachunes, Bradley Artesque and Gay Kings Queen. This track has especially inspirations from Walt Disney, J.S. Bach, Pinkfloyd and Hans Zimmer. But they also inspired by Dr Dre, Grieg, Air, Jonathan Richman, Alan Menken, Daniel Johnston, Enya, The Beach Boys, Kraftwerk, West Auckland and do something different as their inspiration zone.

Enjoy,

It’s just a cigarette & it cannot be that bad Honey don’t you love me and you know it makes me sad?
It’s just a cigarette like you always used to do
I was different then, I don’t need them to be cool

It’s just a cigarette and it harms your pretty lungs
Well it’s only twice a week so there’s not much of a chance
It’s just a cigarette it’ll soon be only ten
Honey can’t you trust me when I want to stop I can

It’s just a cigarette and it’s just a Malboro Light
Maybe but is it worth it if we fight?
It’s just a cigarette that I got from Jamie-Lee
She’s gonna get a smack and I’m gonna give you three

It’s just a cigarette and I only did it once
it’s only twice a week so there’s not much of a chance
It’s just a cigarette and I’m sorry that I did it
Honey can’t you trust me when I want to stop I can

Liz Durrett - Not Running



Atina'da yaşayan Amerikalı bir ses Liz Durrett "not running" diyor bugün. Sakin olmasını dilediğimiz Çarşambalarımız için...

Athen based American singer-song writer Liz Durrett says "not running" today. For the rush Wednesdays which we hoped to be calmer...Enjoy

Birds lifted away all that we gave them
Now summer’s parade quietly fades on a reel
I pulled down the lights from every last tiny limb
Tucked away signs that we’d been here

Though some may say, to live this way, is hiding
Not hiding, we are unashamed
Or running, not running, we are unafraid

Letters await, reading them late in the day
Eloquent phrase turns my heart in its cage
How can I be so hopeless and then
So full of hope, I might implode with it

Though some may say, to live this way, is hiding
Not hiding, we are unashamed
Or running, not running, we are unafraid

Caro Emerald - Back it up



Caro Emerald, gerçek adıyla Caroline van der Leuuw Hollanda'nın güzelim şehri Amsterdam'da doğmuş, Amsterdam'da konservatuara gitmiş jazz okumuş ve 2005 yılında da öğrenimini tamamlamış. Peki nasıl oldu da biz bu kızı tanıdık derseniz, her şey Back it Up adlı parçaya demo kayıt yapan yapımcıların Caro'yu davet etmesiyle başlamış. Caro Emerald zaten Les Elles adlı close-harmony vokal grubunda altı solistten biri olarak, 44 kişiden oluşan bir funk orkestrası olan Philharmonic Funk Foundation'da ve hatta çocuk festivallerinde müziğini yapar dururmuş. Demo kaydına giderken de aklında böylesi ses getireceği var mıdır meçhul. Hip-Hop bir beat üzerine oturtulan parça Caro'nun jazz vokaliyle mükemmel hale gelmiş. Hollandalı yapımcı ve şarkının Kanadalı söz yazarı beğenmiş beğenmesine, ama çok da parlak görmemişler. Sonrasında ise viral bir güç ile, tüm dünya Caro'nun bu demosunu dinlemeye başlamış, radyolar Back It Up çalmış, You Tube'a yüklenen demo paylaşılmış da paylaşılmış. Caro kendi repertuarına kattığı parçayı Amsterdam TV kanallarında söylemiş. Bu ilgiye karşılık hemen bir albüm çalışmasına girilmiş 2008 yılında kaydedilen albümde "Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor " 40'lı ve 50'li yılların jazzı easy listening ve orkestral bir latin havasında tekrar canlandırılmış. Video klibi de yine bu havayı yaşatan 40'lı 50'li yılların Hollywood stüdyolarına götüren şahane detaylarla dolu. Buyurun tadını çıkarın. İkinci video ise yine aynı parçanın Paris sokaklarında kaydedilmiş akustik bir versiyonu.

Caro Emerald, real name: Caroline van der Leuuw, was born in the beautiful city Amsterdam, Netherlands. She studied jazz at the conservatory in Amsterdam and finished her study in 2005 - pretty new! So how come we know this woman? It all started when she was invited to sing a demo record for the song "Back It Up" At that time she was already singing as a solist in a close-harmony vocal group Les Elles, in Philarmonic Funk Foundation, and even in children festivals. would she ever thought about being so known on the way to that demo recording? We will never know. The song, whis had a hip-hop base got perfect with Caro's jazzy vocal. The Dutch producer and the Canadian songwriter didn't see the light and it was just a demo record. But after a while there was a viral effect of the song, the radios played it, she sang it in Amsterdam TV's and the Youtube video got so round the world. As an answer to this attention, in 2008 they recorded an album "Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor " The album tasted a bit of 40's 50's jazz, easy listening and an orchestral latin. The official video clip for the record has therefor also a lot from the Hollywood Studios in 40's and 50's. Enjoy it. The second video is an acoustic session recorded in streets of Paris.

Hooverphonic - Anger never dies


Hooverphonic - Anger Never Dies / "Long Way from Home" Istanbul Acoustic Sessions from Long Way From Home on Vimeo.

Belçikalı rock-pop grubu Hooverphonic İstanbul'un en güzel müzik-video projelerinden biri olan "Long Way from Home - İstanbul Acoustic Sessions" kapsamında şehri tepeden gören bir çatıya ilişip "Anger never dies" demiş, hak veriyoruz. Önceleri isimleri hoover olan grup, aynı isme sahip bir vakumlu temizlik firmasıyla telif kavgasına girmemek için sonradan Hooverphonic olmuş. 95'te kurulana grup önceleri trip hop denilen ağır tempolu bir elektronik müzik yapıyorlarmış. Fakat grup yaşlandıkça tek bir genre ile anmak zorlaşmış ve tarzları alternatif, elektronik, elektronik pop ve hatta rock'a yaklaşmış. Akustik performanslarını tercih ederim :)

The Belgian rock-pop band Hooverphonic says "Anger never dies" on a roof in İstanbul (couldn't agree more, nice touch) for one of the best music-video projects "Long Way from Home - İstanbul Acoustic Sessions". The name of the group was formerly "Hoover", just because a vacuum cleaning company called Hoover they changed their name into Hooverphonic not to have a license problem. The band was formed in 95 and the music they made was called trip hop (a down tempo electronic music) but after the band got older, it was no more easy to talk about just one genre. Now their music includes electronic, alternative, electro pop and even rock influences. But i love the acoustic performance instead :) Enjoy

See the leaves how slow they tumble down
covering the green and yellow lawn
as proof of what has been and what will come
enjoying hazy lights of early dawn
it ain't good enough to try and not succeed

anger never dies
it's part of live
it's part of you
the end will cease the fire
and make us accept
we tend to lose

See the tears how slow they tumble down
covering believe in empty vows
as proof of what has been and what will be
alcohol puts us both to sleep
it'aint't good enough to try and not succeed

anger never dies
it's part of live
it's part of you
the end will cease the fire
and make us accept
we tend to lose

anger never dies
it's part of live
it's part of you
the end will cease the fire
and make us accept
we tend to lose
we tend to lose

Hindi Zahra - Imik Simik



Fas'ın çöl rüzgarını alıp, fransanın şarabına banmış bir ses Hindi Zahra. Kendisini canlı canlı iki kere seyretme fırsatı bulduğumdan olsa gerek, haftaya İstanbul CRR'de gerçekleşecek konserin biletlerinin bitmesine çok da üzülmüyorum. Etnik müziği cazın içinde, gülümsemesiyle harmanlayan Hindi Zahra müziğine aşık. Şarkılarını İngilizce, Fransızca ve Berberice (arapça ve fransızca karışımı bir dil) seslendiren Hindi Zahra'yı dinlemesi keyifli - fakat seyretmesi daha bir keyifli. Şehri çok yakında sesiyle büyüleyecek Hindi Zahra pazartesi sabahımızı sakin sakin namelendirsin ve Imik Simik adlı Berberice-İngilizce parçası günün şarkısı olsun. Severseniz kendisi hakkında daha ayrıntılı bilgiye bu linkten ulaşabilirsiniz; "çöl kızı Hindi Zahra sessizce gülümser mikrofona, ve şehir dinler..."

Having a desert wind in her luggage, a great vocal Hindi Zahra has also tasted the french wine for a long while. I won't cry as all the tickets for her upcoming concert in CRR Istanbul are already sold out! Because I was lucky enough to watch her performance twice :) She melts the etnic melodies in jazz with her smile and she is in love with her profession. She sings in English, French and Berberian (a local language and kind of french-arabish mix) It's a great joy to listen her but even more joy if you see her as she performs live! This voice will trhow some melody in our Monday with her Berberian-English song Imik Simik just before she enlightens the city. If you like her and want a little more info about her you can visit this link (unfortunately only available in turkish) ; "çöl kızı Hindi Zahra sessizce gülümser mikrofona, ve şehir dinler..."

Enjoy

Kimbra - Plain Gold Ring, Settle Down

Kimbra - "Plain Gold Ring" (Live at Sing Sing Studios) from Forum5 Recordings on Vimeo.


Soul müziği teatral bir popla harmanlayan Kimbra, Nina Simone'dan da, Björk'ten de, efsane Prince'ten de etkiler taşıyan kendine has bir müzik yapıyor. Cut and Paste adı verilen bir teknikle kendini tekrar eden ezgileri müziğine ayrı bir tat katmış. Keşfetmenin mutluluğu içindeyim :)

Kimbra mixes the soul sound with a theatrical pop and carries the footprints of "very" different sounds like Nina Simona, Björk and even the Prince. Has its unique musics especially with the cut and paste vocals, which I believe brings a lot to their music. So nice to meet her :)

Enjoy

Bertrand Belin - Vertige Horizontal, Hypernuit



Woody Allen'ın son filmi Midnight in Paris'i izlemenin de etkisi olsa gerek, bugünlerde şarkılar biraz fransız olacak gibi. Hele de Bertrand Belin gibi kadife sesli adamlar olacaksa, sakin ve etkili bir müzik yapacaklarsa buyursunlar blogumuza.

89 yılından beri müzik camiasında olup, sessiz sessiz üreten Bertrand Belin, önceleri kajun ve zydeco adları verilen müzik türü yapan bir grupta başlamış performanslarına. Bu müzik türleri Kuzey Amerika'da Akadya denilen bir bölgede özellikle 1800'lü yıllarda İngiliz hegomanyasını reddeden etnik bir grup olan Akadyen'lerin yaşadığı bir yerde doğmuş ve gelişmiş müzik türleriymiş. Bluesun vals yapması diye yorumlanmış bazı yerlerde bu müzik türleri. Bertrand'a dönersek, 96 yılında ingiliz grup Sons of the Desert'a geçmiş. 98'de Nery adlı gruba geçip özellikle Fransa, Quebeck ve İsviçre'de turnelere katılmışlar. 2003'de Nery'den de ayrılarak Fransa-Küba arasındaki bir müzisyen değişim etkinliğinde üç hafta da Havana'lı müzisyenlerle "Geçici Stüdyo" adlı projede yer almış. Müzik gruplarında tutunamayıp solo albüm yapmaya karar veren bu yetenekli kadife sesin albümleri ise sırasıyla şöyle; Bertrand Belin (2005), La Perdue (2007) ve Hypernuit (2010). Kendisi Türkiye'ye gelirse, yakından takip etme niyetindeyim. Umarım siz de beğenirsiniz.

After wathcing Woody Allen's last movie Midnight in Paris, i assume that our songs will be a little bit too french these days. And especially the calming, composing, writing and singing characters, velvet voices like Bertrand Belin are always welcome on this blog.

Bertrand Belin is in the world of music since 89 and producing his stuff silently. First began his performances playing in a cajun-zydeco band. Thats a music genre stamming from Acadia - a region in North America where especially the ones lived, who disagreed with the British occupation in the mid 18th centuries. These genres sound like the blues dancing the walz! Back to Bertrand himself, he gained the English band Sons of the Desert in 96. Than in 98 joined Nery and performed in France, in Canada and Switzerland. Attended a musician exchange project called "Studio Ephemeral" and composed with Cuban musicians in Hawana. After spinning around so much bands he went on solo in his music career and velvet voive Belin registered three solo albüms; Bertrand Belin (2005), La Perdue (2007) ve Hypernuit (2010). If he ever comes to Turkey, I intend to watch him live. Hope you'll like him and his velvet voice too.



Il entoure de la maison
Hypernuit hypernuit
Celui bien nommé la bête
Le mal grandi celui même
Il entoure de la maison hypernuit
Hypernuit
Celui bien nommé la bête
Celui qui
Buvait le lait au pis même
Celui-là même qui
Se souvient d’un jour derrière
Bien enfui
Bien qu’enfui
Il n’a rien oublié
Du jour entre tous cruel
Au bout duquel
Il a vu sa maison brûler
Puis tomber
Là il revient pour se venger
De tout un village
De tout un village
Hélas je suis là
Je suis là

Il entoure de la maison
Hypernuit hypernuit
Il n’a rien oublié
Du jour entre tous cruel
Au bout duquel
Tout est parti tout en fumée
Dans le ciel
Là il revient pour se venger
De tout un village
De tout un village
Hélas je suis là
Je suis là
On lui était tombé dessus
Hypernuit hypernuit
Et fait passer le goût des fleurs
Le goût des fleurs le goût des fleurs le goût des fleurs le goût des fleurs.

Jesse Dee - Over and over again



Kısa bir aradan sonra günün Şarkısı yetenekli soul şarkıcı-söz yazarı Jesse Dee ile devam ediyor. Bu yetenek Al Green ve Etta James gibi soul müziğin efsaneleriyle çalmış. "Soul müzik beni her zaman diğer tüm müzik genrelerine nazaran daha derinden etkilemiştir" diyen Jesse Dee'ye yürekten katılıyorum. Bu müzikte bir şeyler var ve adı üzerinde ruhuna dokunuyor insanın. Şarkı sözlerine dikkat edenler, ne dediğimi anlayacaklar.

After a while, The Song of the Day goes on with the talented soul singer-song writer Jesse Dee. This talent has played with with soul legends like Al Green and Etta James. “Soul music has always hit me harder than any other kind of music" says Jesse Dee and i agree with him. It reaches the souls somehow. Careful for the lyrics, you'll see what i mean.

Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter, Volcano



Akıllarda yer eden bir film Closer'ın soundtrack'iyle tanımıştık çoğumuz Damien Rice'ı. Gitar, piyano, klarnet ve perküsyon çalma yetilerini bir arada barındıran Damien'ın üflemeli çalgılar hocasının kızına olan aşkını anlattığı The Blower's Daughter, Closer filminin kendisi kadar etkilemişti bir çok seyirciyi. İrlanda'lı şarkıcı-söz yazarı Damien Rice sadece besteleriyle değil, dünyada olup bitene karşı sorumluluk alan bir insan olmasıyla da kendinden söz ettiren bir adammış. Tibet için Şarkılar, Özgürlük Kampanyası, ve Yeter adlı dünyaca ünlü insan hakları projelerinde aktif rol almış olan Damien Rice soğuk kış günümüzü ısıtır diye düşünüyorum. (güney yarım küredeki arkadaşlarımı katmıyorum)

Most of us had met Damien Rice with the soundtrack of that unforgettable movie "Closer". The Blowers Daughter, in which Damien told his love to the daughter of his wind instrument instructor. The singer who could play guitar, piano, clarnet and percussion got to the audience with this spesific song. Irish singer-song writer Damien Rice has shown up on the stage not only with his songs, but also with his responsible being against the human rights and peace in the worldd. He played actively his role in the human rights projects The Song for Tibet, Freedom Campaign and Enough Project. Hope his songs will warm you up in such a cold winter day. (not for my friends from the south-semisphere :) )

Anna Ternheim – Black Sunday Afternoon


Anna Ternheim - Black Sunday Afternoon + What... alex_raw

Günlerin bir rengi ya da bir sıfatı olduğunu idrak etmiştim bu şarkıyı ilk dinlediğimde. Kuzey ülkelerinin sıcak sesi Anna Ternheim "Black Sunday Afternoon" demiş. Sonra "Kırmızı Pazartesi" diye bir roman vardı Gabriel García Márquez'in kaleminden çıkma. Bir de "Gloomy Sunday" var, Billie Holiday ne güzel söyler...

İşte böylesi bir cumartesiye İsveç'in sıcak sesi Anna Ternheim eşlik etsin istedim. Yağmurlu bir günün tadını çıkarın.

When I first listened to this song, I had noticed that each day has a color or adjective. the warm sound of the cold northern lands, Anna Ternheim says "Black Sunday Afternoon"; there was a novel called "Red Mondays" (not the original name but the turkish title) written by Gabriel García Márquez ; and there is Gloomy Sunday which Billie Holiday sings soo good...

So, thought it would be a good company if tha war sound of Seweden, Anna Ternheim, sings for us today. Enjoy the rainy day people.

Travis - Why does it always rain on me?



Herkesin herşeyin yolunda olduğunu söylediği vakitlerde, içimize işleyemediğimiz o turuncu ruh haline bakarken, kurtulamadığımız yağmurlarımıza atıfta bulunmuş Travis. "Abicim bu yağmur ne diye hep bana hep bana yağıyor allah aşkına?" demiş :) Bugünün şarkısı biraz erkenci evet. Sakin ama isyankar...Bardaktan boşanırcasına yağmur yağan İstanbul'a ve uyuyamayanlarına gelsin bu şarkı.

Travis referred to the rain that we can't get rid of, in those moments that everybody says that it's ok, but you can't get that orange mood, and just staring at that orange happiness. He asks "Why the hell does it always rain on me for God's sake!!" :) So, today's song is a bit early, yes; silent and rebelling...The Song of the Day goes to the City of Istanbul, which is getting wet under this cats and dogs rainfall, and to the sleepless ones.

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong.
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you'll be long.
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you'll be long.
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain...

The Pierces - Secret



Herkese Merhaba,

Biraz yoğun bir dönemdi, biliyorum Günün Şarkısı'nın yokluğunda hepiniz acı çektiniz :) ve bu konuda gerçekten üzgünüm :P Secret, Catherine Pierce ve Allison Pierce hippi kız kardeşler tarafından oluşmuş The Pierces adlı grup tarafından seslendirilmiş. Alabamalı kardeşler, evde eğitim görmüşler, çünkü anne ve babaları da bir hayli hippiymiş. Allison ve Catherine hem profesyonel balerinler, gitar çalıyorlar ve şarkıları hem yazıp hem söylüyorlar.
Bası insanlar yetenekli doğuyor! İlginç bir klibe sahip hit şarkıları "Sır" anlamına gelen Secret'la sizi başbaşa bırakıyorum.

Ayrıca, hepimizin bir sırrı yok mu gerçekten?

Hello Everyone,

It's been a busy time, that's why you suffered from the lack of The Song of the Days, I know and I am sorry about it :P So, this song "Secret" performed by two hippi sisters - so called The Pierces. They come from Sweet Alabama :) and they were home-educated as their parents were also hippis! They are both successful ballet dancers, guitar players and song writers and singers! Some people got the talent. Enjoy their hit number Secret with the very interesting video of it.

Finally, don't we all have at least one deep secret? :)

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of the m is dead…

Why do you smile
Like you have told a secret
Now you're telling lies
Cause you're the one to keep it
But no one keeps a secret
No one keeps a secret
Why when we do our darkest deeds
Do we tell?
They burn in our brains
Become a living hell
Cause everyone tells
Everyone tells…

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of the m is dead…

Look into my eyes
Now you're getting sleepy
Are you hypnotized
By secrets that you're keeping?
I know what you're keeping
I know what you're keeping

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of the m is dead…

[spoken]
Alison?
Yes, Katherine.
I have something I want to tell you, but
you have to promise to never tell anyone.
I promise
Do you swear on your life?
I swear on my life

[end spoken]

You swore you'd never tell…
You swore you'd never tell…

You swore you'd never tell…
You swore you'd never tell…

Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it, in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you
Won't tell what I said
Cause two can keep a secret
If one of the m is dead…
(chorus x 3)

Yes two can keep a secret
If one of us is…. Dead.

Elvis Presley - Hound dog

İlk olarak amerikan blues şarkıcısı Big Mama Thornton tarafından kayda alınan bu parça, orjinalinden üç sene sonra efsane Elvis tarafından seslendirildiğinde, onlarca blues sanatçısı tarafından seslendirilen alternatiflerini gölgede bıraktı. Amerika'da ölümden dönen bir çok insanın ışıklı bir tünelin sonunda kendilerine el sallarken gördüklerini iddia ettikleri Elvis, karatede kara kuşağa sahipmiş ve Amerika dışında sadece Kanada'da konser vermiş. Scatter adındaki bir şempanzeyi evlat edinmiş ve boynunda "teknik bir sorundan dolayı cenneti kıl payı kaçırmak istemiyorum" yazısını ibranice içinde barındıran bir haç taşırmış :) komik adam. Huzur içinde yatsın...

This song was first recorded by the american blues singer big Mama Thornton. But three years after that, when it was performed by the rock n roll king Elvis, his version of Hounddog shadowed all the other versions. Elvis Presley, the man who was seen waving hand to the ones close to death (it was claimed by a lot of citizen who were almost dead but survived), had a black belt in Karate and performed only in Canada outside the USA. He adopted a chimpanzee called Scatter and wore a cross around his neck saying “I don’t want to miss out on heaven due to a technicality” :) funny guy. Rest in peace Elvis...



Songwriters: Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Ya know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

Bırakın da şu pazartesi gününüzü sakin bir sesle yavaşlatayım.

let me calm your monday evening down with this calming legend's voice.

enjoy.

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you
My happiness
Every day I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness
A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
Ther'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are gray or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

Evening shadows make me blue
When each weary day is through
How I long to be with you

Every day I reminisce
Dreaming of your tender kiss
Always thinking how I miss
My happiness

A million years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
But I'll hold you again
Ther'll be no blue memories then
Whether skies are gray or blue
Any place on earth will do
Just as long as I'm with you
My happiness

Katie Melua - A Happy Place



1984 Sovyet hakimiyetindeki Gürcistan'da doğan Katie (aslında Ketevan) Melua, aslında çok klasik bir göçmen hikayesine sahip. Sovyetlerden kaçan doktor aile ile önce Batum'a sonra da İrlanda'ya yerleşen Ketie, son olarak taşındıkları Londra'da "İngiltere yeteneğini arıyor" tarzı bir programda birinci olarak parlıyor. Ve bir konservatuarda öğrenim hakkı kazanması, basının ilgisi vs. - bir kaç yılda 30 yaş altı milyarder şarkıcılar listesine bir güzel geçiyor. Hikaye klasik olabilir lakin sesi gerçekten kuvvetli ve bana -özellikle bu şarkıyı dinlediğimde Operadaki Hayalet müzikalini hatırlatıyor.

"A Happy Place" yani "Mutlu Bir Yer" mutluluğu bulunduğu çemberin dışında arayanlara gelsin.

Born 1984 in Soviet-Georgia, Katie (Ketevan) Melua has actually a pretty classic imigrant story. A family escaping from the civil war, first destination was Batumi, and than the Irland and than London the metropol. In London she attended one of those reality shows "UK looking for its Talent smt" and won the competition. After winning a eonservatoire education in this show, with the interest of the press etc. - she becomes one of the richest singers under the age of 30 in couple of years. The story is maybe a cliche but she does have a strong voice and especially when I listen to this song, I feel as I listen to the musical Phantom of the Opera.

So, this song "A Happy Place" comes to the ones who imagine that happiness somewhere out of the circle that we live in. Enjoy.


I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy place

Seven thousand eyes are watching
watching home and no ones touching
Army of the city workers secretarys lawyers brokers
heading for a london station
Hoping for a quick salvation
Oblivous to cherry cola
trying to sell to every stranger
stuck here its cold im standing
hoping for some understanding
only way to go is inside

I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy
I'm going to find a happy place

seven thousand light years travel
let my sense of time unravel
traffic is neverending
send those weaknesses decending
towards the upright centre
let the fire rise and enter
tap into the primal power
rising like a gaint tower
creating energy recieving
cut a hole right through the ceiling
people getting smaller as you fly

chorus-
bu bo ba ba
bu bo ba ba

find a star
send down a beam
to where you are
an elevator of life
taking you somwhere where you will always be
loved

I have found that stress and nonsense
puts me in a zone of avoidence
could my mind be moving faster
pulling like a super cluster
can be hard to trust a felling
bubbly and ends seeeeing

were going to find a happy
were going to find a happy + bo bu ba ba
were going to find a happy
a happy place
a happy place
a happy

Kanadalı iki perküsyonist arkadaş çimenlerde yuvarlandıracak tatta bir müzik yapmışlar. Dobacaracol ismi iki vokalin isimlerinin birleşiminden oluşuyor; Doriane Fabreg (Doba) ve Carole Facal (Caracol). Dünyanın tüm müziklerinden leziz bir çorba yapmışlar.

Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit, Summertime, Am I Blue?

Billie Holiday, 40'lı yılların blues efsanesi, kelimenin tam anlamıyla zor dediğimiz hayatlardan birini yaşamış, ırkçılığın -özellikle siyahi amerikalara karşı - sınırlarını aştığı yıllarda protest şarkılar söyleme cesaretini göstermiş, adını caz tarihine kazımış ve 44 yaşında sirozdan ölmüştür. İlk şarkı Strange Fruit gelmiş geçmiş en anti-ırkçı şarkılardan biri olarak bilinir. 2. şarkı bir blues klasiği - summertime. Yaza veda ederken ironik olacak biraz :) ve son olarak "am I blue" Billie Holiday'in en sevdiğim parçalarından...Pazartesi için belki biraz sakin ama değerli melodiler bunlar. Beğenmeniz umuduyla, iyi haftalar.

the blues legend of the 40ies, Billie Holiday had a literally bad bad life, lived in the times as the racism has its highest season in american society against the african-americans. She had the courage to sing anti-racist protest songs, had her name written with golden letters in the jazz history and died from cirrhosis with the age of 44. The first song Strange Fruit is known as the most anti-racist song ever. Summertime is a blues classic and covered by all legends - Summertime. Will be ironic during these "goodbye summer" days. and lastly "am I blue?" is my favorite Billie Holiday song :) These are all a bit silent but well important melodies for a Monday. Hope you'll like it, and have a nice week.


Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the popular trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter cry




Am I blue
am I blue
ain't these tears, in
these eyes telling
you
How can you ask me
"am I blue"
why, wouldn't you be too
if each plan
with your man
done fell through

There was a time
when I was his only one
but now I'm
the sad and lonely one...lonely

Was I gay
untill today
now he's gone, and
we're through
Am I blue

Noir Desir - Le vent nous portera



bazen derman kalmaz. sürüklesin isteriz rüzgar. Fransa'dan Noir Desir de öyle demiş. Bu şarkının adının anlamı "rüzgar bizi sürüklesin". Yatılı okulda okuduğum zamanlar sabah uyanmamız için radyoyu açtıklarında "Le Vent Nous Portera" derdi hoparlörler. Hatırlıyorum. Mutlu uyandırdık...

there are moments you become so exhausted and just wish the wind drag you somehow. Noir Desir from France says the same. The name of this song means "let the wind drag us". During the years when I was in the boarding school, we heard this song each morning while we wake up. The speakers were saying the words "Le Vent Nous Portera". I remember it. Those were happily wakenings...enjoy.

Je n'ai pas peur de la route
Faudrait voir, faut qu'on y goûte
Des méandres au creux des reins
Et tout ira bien là
Le vent nous portera

Ton message à la Grande Ourse
Et la trajectoire de la course
Un instantané de velours
Même s'il ne sert à rien va
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera

La caresse et la mitraille
Et cette plaie qui nous tiraille
Le palais des autres jours
D'hier et demain
Le vent les portera

Génetique en bandouillère
Des chromosomes dans l'atmosphère
Des taxis pour les galaxies
Et mon tapis volant dis ?
Le vent l'emportera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera


Ce parfum de nos années mortes
Ce qui peut frapper à ta porte
Infinité de destins
On en pose un et qu'est-ce qu'on en retient?
Le vent l'emportera

Pendant que la marée monte
Et que chacun refait ses comptes
J'emmène au creux de mon ombre
Des poussières de toi
Le vent les portera
Tout disparaîtra mais
Le vent nous portera

Kat Onoma - La Chambre



İsimleri anladığım kadarıyla Yunanca'da "adından da anlaşılacağı gibi" anlamına gelen :) bu anlamlı parçanın sahipleri Kat Onoma, vokallerinin (Radolphe Burger) etkileyici kelimesinin yetersiz kalacağı bas sesi ile başucu listeme girmiştir. Sizlerin de keyif alacağını umduğum Kat Onoma adlı fransız rock grubu, bir çok ingilizce şarkı da seslendiriyor. Ama şahsi fikrim; Fransızlar ingilizce şarkı söylemesin :)

As far as I understood from what I've searched, the name of the performers of this wonderful poet-song "Kat Onoma" means in Greek "as the name emplies". The adorable base voice of the vocal (Radolphe Burger) has raised this band to my top-list. This french rock band, which I hope you'll like, sing also a lot of english songs. But I believe that the french men should better not sing in english :)

Rodolphe Burger : Chant, guitare, claviers
Philippe Poirier : Saxophone, guitare, contrebasse
Guy Bickel : Trompette
Pascal Benoit : Percussions
Pierre Keyline : Basse

Dans ma chambre vous croqueriez une pomme petite vous tremperiez
Dans le thé des langues de chat
En silence
Et après le débat comme dit Casanova
Fronçant les sourcils vous diriez
C'est bizarre

Car vous n'auriez qu'un mot à dire
Dans la rue la journée
Pour vous servir d'acolyte j'aurais mon parapluie qui sait?

Dans ma chambre vous croqueriez une pomme petite vous tremperiez
Dans le thé des langues de chat
En silence
Et après le débat comme dit Casanova
Fronçant les sourcils vous diriez
Ç'a été?

Car vous n'auriez qu'un mot à dire
Dans la rue la journée
Si seulement il vous en disait

Metallica - Turn The Page - Bob Seger



bugün sayfayı çevirmek isteyenlere şarkımız.

orjinali Bob Seger'a ait olan Turn the Page Metallica yorumuyla/klibiyle de hayli ses getirmişti. E çevirelim sayfayı o zaman...

today the song of the day comes for the ones willing to turn the page.

Turn the Page was originnaly sang by Bob Seger, but also made an overwhelming impression with the cover "and" the official video made by Metallica. So, lets turn the page.



on a long and lonely highway east of omaha
you can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

and your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
when you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
you don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through

but here i am, on the road again
here i am, up on the stage
here i go, playing the star again
there i go, turn the page

you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
sometimes you can here 'em talk, other times you can't

all the same 'ole cliches: is that a woman or a man?
and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand

but here i am, on the road again
here i am, up on the stage
here i go, playing the star again
there i go, turn the page

out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play
later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head
as you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said..

Today we'll listen to a snippy and protest group. The members of this band are the Moriarty family itself. Rosemary Moriarty and her 4 brothers. In Private Lily they hintingly criticising the war and the system with their estetic way. Let your wednesday fill with music.

My name is Lily
I'm 19 years old
No money to study,
No boyfriend,
I'm kind of bored
I went to the trade fair,
To find a job
There I found a few guys from the army
They told me that I was smart and pretty

I'm goin' to war I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war
She's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/moriarty/private_lily.html ]
My name is Lily
They told me that I could make it
They'll pay for my studies,
So I will graduate
I went to the parking lot
To meet with my recruiters
I leave next week
Assigned out for four years
Six more months and I'll be ready
To drive machines and tow M16s

My name is Lily
I'm 19 years old
On my way to the black zones
Gonna do what I am told

I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war, I'm goin' to war
She's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war
And she's too young

She's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war, she's goin' to war

Čači Vorba - Te aştept neica de-o lună



Çingenelerin hüznü o kıpır kıpır şen müziklerinin içine gömülmüştür deriz. Bazen de aşikardır acısı çingenenin...

Polonya-Ukrayna kökenli bu grup olan ČAČI VORBA, etniği caza bezeyip, modern balkan düğünlerinin müziklerini besteliyorlarmış. Balkan twisti ve hatta balkan rock'n'roll'u icra ederlermiş. bu parçanın melankolisine bakmayın, genelde mutlu müzikler yapıyorlar :) Doğu Avrupa'nın insanı çizgisinden çıkaran müziklerini icra eden bu güzel insanlar yurtdışında bir hayli ülkeye gitmekte bu arada. Ve hatta Kasım'da Belçika'yı didik didik edeceklermiş, bilgilerinize!

It's said that the sorrow of a gypsy is well burried in their crazy happy music. But sometimes you see his pain right through; it becomes obvious..

Stamming from Poland & Ukraine ČAČI VORBA makes ethnic and jazz dance together, and compose the modern Balkanic Weddings' musics. They perform Balkan twist and even Balkan rock'n'roll! Don't fall for the melancholy of this song, they usually make songs with reaally positive attitude :) These beautiful bunch of people performing that music that walks you out of the line have o busy tour across the Europe! And they will be performing in each inch of Belgium this coming November. For your info friends there! :)

Queen – Bohemian Rapsody (Freddie Mercury)


Bugün yaşasaydı 65. yaşını kutlayacak olan dünyanın ilk Asya'lı rock efsanesi Freddie Mercury, koloni Zanzibar'da (şimdiki Tanzanya'da) doğup, Hindistan kolonisinde piyano çalmayı öğrenip, 17 yaşında da ailesinin Zanzibar'daki devrimden kaçmasıyla İngiltere'ye gelmiş. Opera ve rock'ı aynı potada eritip, rock müzikte çığır açmıştır. 4 oktav sese sahip bu efsane Queen'in birbirinden başarılı ve eşsiz şarkılarının söz yazarı ve bestecisi ve hatta vokalidir. Eşcinselliği seçtiğini basından saklamamış ve AIDS sebebiyle 45 yaşında göçüp gitmiştir.

Seviyoruz kendisini. Huzur içinde yatsın.

Benim en sevdiğim ve dinlemekte olduğunuz Queen parçası "Bohemian Rapsody" aynı zamanda dünyanın "bin yıl- yüz yıl" anketlerinde, en bilinen, en sevilen şarkı sıfatlarını kazanmıştır.

If Freddie Mercury had still lived, today he would celebrate his 65th birthday as a first Asian rock legend, who was born in the english colony Zanzibar (today's Tanzania), who learned to play piano in colony India, flew to England because of the revolution in Zenzibar. mixing opera and rock, he opened a new era in rock worlds. Besides having a voice of 4 octavs, Queen's head vocal rock legend Mercury wrote most of those uniqe and worldwide succesfull songs' lyrcs, composed them and sang them! He didn't hide from the flashs that he was gay and he died because of AIDS when he was 45.

We love him, rest in peace Freddie.

My favorite queen song that you listen right now ébohemian Rapsody" has been awarded as the most popular, the most loved or the most known song in "century surveys" or "thousand year" surveys.

Enjoy,


Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy (poor boy), I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

It's too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning - very very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo Figaro - magnifico-o-o-o

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me
for me
for me
for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really mattered - nothing really mattered to me
Anyway the wind blows...

Maria Rita - Recado


Maria Rita - Recado - Eletronic Video Single Warner-Music

Kısa bir aradan sonra yine çook uzaklardan bir sesle dönüyoruz.

Recado adlı parçayı seslendiren Maria Rita, Brezilya'nın divalarından Elis Regina ile yine çok ünlü piyanistlerinden César Camargo Mariano'nun Sao Paolo'da doğmuş kızı. İsim annesi de aile dostu Rita Lee - Brezilyanın efsane kadın rock'çılarından. Yani Maria Rita'nın şarkı söylüyor olması aslına o kadar şaşırtıcı değil :) 24 yaşına kadar profesyonel anlamda şarkı söylemeyen Maria Rita New York'ta iletişim okumuş, gençlik dergilerinden birinde gazetecilik yapmış. Sonra da "yeter" demiş ve güzelim portekizcesiyle - ki dili gerçekten güzel kullandığı çok belli oluyor- Ella Fitzgerald'ı model alarak söylediği şarkılarıyla, karmaşık bir günün iç ferahlatan ve yavaşlatan sesi oluyor.

After a short while we are back with a voice from far far lands.

Maria Rita, singing Recado is the daughter of bresilian vocal legend Elis Regina and famous pianist César Camargo Mariano. and her namesake is family friend Rita Lee - a rock legend in Brasil! So it's no surprise that she is singing right now! She has never sang professionally till she was 24. Instead she studied communications in New York and worked in a youth magazine as a journalist. But than she said "enough" and started to sing jazz - taking Ella Fitzgerald as a model- with her beautiful Portugeese. emphasising beautiful because she really uses the language nicely and becoming the refreshing and slowing sound of a comlex day.

Enjoy...

Com muito dinheiro e carro do ano
Modelo importado, tu tá comentado
Não tem mais sossego e da roda de samba já se separou
Vive cercado, parece um E.T
E sai todo dia em revista e TV
Pra que tanta banca?
Na terra da santa como você vê.
A feira tá pouca, o bicho tá solto.
Tem muito estrangeiro, muito bafafá.
O dia tá feio, a lua não veio, o dinheiro não dá, não dá
Mas tem muito bamba fazendo refrão,
tem muito samba na concentração.
Muita riqueza que você não tem mais não


[Repete]


E tem muito água no nosso feijão
Muita mandinga na minha oração
Muita riqueza que você não tem mais não

Tem muita Maria e muito João
Tem muita rosa pelo quarteirão
Muita riqueza que você não tem mais não.

Lhasa de Sela - Con toda palabra

Lhasa de Sela- Con toda palabra from Opak Media on Vimeo.


ve bugünün şarkısı,

karavana devşirilmiş bir okul otobüsünde, okul eğitimiyle hiçbir alakası olmadan, çocukluğundan beri seyahat ederek büyüyen, gezdiği tüm toprakların birikmiş hüznünü şarkılarında toplayan Lhasa de Sela, yaşadığı süre boyunca milyonlarca şarkı söyledikten sonra, geçtiğimiz sene çok genç bir yaşta meme kanseriyle savaşına yenik düştü.

ve söz veriyorum bayram sonrası daha mutlu şarkılarla dönüş yapacağız :)

PS: şarkının ingilizceye çevirisi de mevcuttur.

and today's song;

a girl grown up in a school bus, being used as a caravan, without any school-related education, travelling since she was a kid, collecting all the sorrow from the states ground, Lhasa de Sela died last year from breast cancer at a very young age, after singing millions of songs as long as she lived.

and I promise to share more cheerful songs when we come back after this Ramadan holiday :)

PS: there is also the english translation of the lyrics below.

Spanish
Con Toda Palabra

Con toda palabra
Con toda sonrisa
Con toda mirada
Con toda caricia

Me acerco al agua
Bebiendo tu beso
La luz de tu cara
La luz de tu cuerpo

Es ruego el quererte
Es canto de mudo
Mirada de ciego
Secreto desnudo

Me entrego a tus brazos
Con miedo y con calma
Y un ruego en la boca
Y un ruego en el alma

Con toda palabra
Con toda sonrisa
Con toda mirada
Con toda caricia

Me acerco al fuego
Que todo lo quema
La luz de tu cara
La luz de tu cuerpo

Es ruego el quererte
Es canto de mudo
Mirada de ciego
Secreto desnudo

Me entrego a tus brazos
Con miedo y con calma
Y un ruego en la boca
Y un ruego en el alma

English
With every word

With every word
With every smile
With every look
With every touch

İ come closer to the water
drinking your kiss
the light of your face
the light of your body

İt's a desire prayer
İt's a silent song
A blind look
A nude secret

I surrender to your arms
with fear and with calm
and a prayer on my lips
and a prayer in my heart

With every word
With every smile
With every look
With every touch

İ come closer to the fire
let it burn all
the light of your face
the light of your body

İt's a desire prayer
İt's a silent song
A blind look
A nude secret

I surrender to your arms
with fear and with calm
and a prayer on my lips
and a prayer in my heart

Sam - T'es gentille



Bugün Jacques Brel dinlediği her halinden belli, ironik şarkılar söylemeyi seven, yazarlıkta başarılı olamayınca barlarda şarkı söyleyemeye başlayan Sam'i dinliycez. Kadın takıntısı olduğunu açık açık kabul eden, mizahi bir fransız...Müzik çarşambanızı renklendirsin.

Today we'll listen to this french guy "Sam" who apparently listened to Jacques Brel for a very long time, who failed in being a writer and poet and started singing in bars. He admits with no shame that he is obsessed with the women :) an ironic french...Let the music through your wednesday for some colour.


Tu sais montrer sous ta robe qu'il y a du monde au balcon
Je suis pas contre ces arguments
Tu sais sourire et passer la brosse à reluire sur le roi... le roi dogon
Tu sais jouer la singlette contre tes amants
Je suis pas fou, tu m'auras pas
Tu sais sucer les sucettes et quand t'as le béguin
Putin t'es maladroite

(j'ai pas inventé la poudre, j'ai pas grand chose dans le citron)
Mais t'es gentille
(j'ai pas inventé l'eau chaude, j'ai pas grand chose sous le chignon)
Mais t'es gentille

Tu maitrises le vocable des réjouissance sur le trempoline
Tu sais croquer le bonbon, avaler le chewing-gum
T'es la championne
Tu sais monter au plafond, mais tu sais retomber
Toujours, toujours sur tes 4 pattes
La nuit après l'amour pour avoir de la lumière
Tu ouvres la portière

(j'ai pas inventé la poudre, j'ai pas grand chose dans le citron)
Ouais, ouais, mais t'es gentille
(j'ai pas inventé l'eau chaude, j'ai pas grand chose sous le chignon)
Mais t'es gentille

Ouais, ouais,... (viens)

(j'ai pas inventé la poudre, j'ai pas grand chose dans le citron)
(chez toi)
(j'ai pas inventé l'eau chaude, j'ai pas grand chose sous le chignon)
Mais t'es gentille

(j'ai pas inventé la poudre, j'ai pas grand chose dans le citron)
Ouais, ouais...mais t'es gentille
(j'ai pas inventé l'eau chaude, j'ai pas grand chose sous le chignon)
(non, mais chez moi)
Mais t'es gentille

(na na na na na na na na)

Eddie Vedder - Society - Into the Wild Soundtrack



Pazartesinin dayanılmaz ağırlığından selamlar günün şarkısı insanları,

Bugün toplumla sıkıntısı olanlara gelsin bu güzelim şarkı. Akıllarda unutulmaz yarıklar açabilen ve Sean Penn'in 2007 yılında oyuncu değil de yönetmen koltuğunda oturduğu "Into the Wild" adlı filmin soundtracki olan bu parça çekip gitmenin ezgisi...Gitmek hangimizin aklından geçmemiştir ki?

Hi from the unbearable heaviness of a monday people,

Today we will have a precious song for the ones, those are not the best couple with the society. This song is actually the soundtrack of the movie "Into the Wild" which made in 2007 and within which we saw Sean Penn not as a star but as the director! Society is the melody of "hitting the road" Don't we each think of leaving all of it and to hit the road at least once in a life time?

enjoy,


Oh, it's a mystery to me
We have a greed with which we have agreed
And you think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

When you want more than you have
You think you need...
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed
I think I need to find a bigger place
Because when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

There's those thinking, more-or-less, less is more
But if less is more, how you keeping score?
Means for every point you make, your level drops
Kinda like you're starting from the top
You can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed
Hope you're not lonely without me...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

Society, have mercy on me
Hope you're not angry if I disagree...
Society, crazy indeed
Hope you're not lonely without me...

Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence



Ofiste geçen bir cumartesi gününden günaydınlar!!

Bugün, zamanında sahneleri sallamış, biraz Beatles'ın gölgesinde kalmış, ilkokuldan beri birbirinden hiç ayrılmamış iki arkadaşa kulak veriyoruz; Simon ve Garfunkel! Birçok grammy ödülü alan, aklımıza kazınmış şarkılara sahip bu ikili The Sound of Silence diyecek. İlk hitleri olan bu parçanın sözlerini özellikle incelemeniz tavsiye edilir.

Sevgiler,

Good morning from a working saturday!!

Today we will listen to two friends that never left eachother since primary school, that rocked the stages in the times, and that were a bit shadowed by the Beatles and their success. Winner of plenty of Grammy Music Awards Simon & Garfunkel, having a lot of songs that we mostly know, singing their first hit number "the sound of silence". Recommend that you should also check the lryics.

Loves,

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence."

So yeah, ah start wearing purple wearing purple
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it's just a matter of time!...

Victor Deme - Djon Maya



Herkese tekrar merhaba günün şarkısı takipçileri,

Uzun sayılabilecek bir aradan sonra, tekrar uzaklara gitme isteğinin de dürtüsüyla Afrika'dan geliyor dönüş parçamız; Burkina Faso adlı minik afrika ülkesinden gelen ses Victor Deme'ye ait. Bir de Burkino Faso kendi dillerinde mutlu insanlar ülkesi demekmiş...Ses hüzünlü, ama nedense mutlu ediyor insanı.

Tadını çıkarmanız dileğiyle...

PS: Şarkıların takipçi istatistikleri gösterdi ki, günün şarkısı sadece Türkiye'den değil, diğer ülkelerden tanıdığım dünya vatandaşlarınca da takip ediliyor. Bu sebepten, her entry'nin ingilizce açıklamaları da olacaktır. bilgilerinize :)

PS in english :) an analyse made on the visitors of this "song of the day" blog showed that its not only being followed by turkish citizen as well as a lot of world citizens i know. That's why, I will also write an english spot for each entry I write. fyi :)


So, after a long while hello again everyone!

With the instict of going back to far ways again, back to the blog number will be coming from a wonderful voice Victor Deme, stamming from the little African country Burkina Faso. I came across to the knowledge that Burkina Faso means "the country of happy people" in the local language... The voice is sorrowful, but somehow it makes you happy...

Enjoy it.

Vengo Soundtrack - Naci en alamo


Vengo onersan

no tengo lugar
y no tengo paisaje
yo menos tengo patria

con mis dedos hago el fuego

las cuerdas de mi corazon lloran

no tengo lugar

yo menos tengo patria

naci en alamo
naci en alamo
ay cuando canta(s)
y con tus dolores
nuestras mujeres te chican

Estrella Morente (Penelope Cruz) - Volver


Penelope kediix

Güzelim bir Almadovar filminin (Volver) sıcak bir sahnesinde "nN? Penelope şarkı da mı söyleyebiliyor?" diye dona kaldırtan bu kayıt aslında Estrella Morente tarafından icra edilmiş. Penelope de playback yapmış evet :) . Ama playbackin böylesi, gözleri yaşara yaşara, flemenko ruhuna sahip eller vs. herhangi bir playbackten daha fazla övgüye layık olsa gerek.



Tengo miedo del encuentro
Con el pasado que vuelve
A enfrentarse con mi vida

Tengo miedo de la noche
que poblada de recuerdo
Encadenan mi soñar

Pero el viajero que huye
Tarde o temprano
Detiene su andar

Y aunque el olvido
que todo lo destruye
haya matado
A mi vieja ilusión

guardo escondida
Y una esperanza humilde
que es toda la fortuna
De mi corazón

Volver...
Con la frente marchita
La nieve del tiempo
platearon mi sien

Sentir...
que es un soplo la vida
que veinte años no es nada
que febril la mirada
y errante en la sombra
Te busca y te nombra

Vivir...
Con el alma aferrada
A un dulce recuerdo
que lloro otra vez...

Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line

Bazı adamlar boşuna efsane olmuyor. işte onlardan biri de 27'ler klübüne girmeye baya bi çalışıp bir türlü becerememiş olan efsane Johnny Cash'tir. Kendisi rock ve country müziğinin babalarından olup, hapishanelerde turne yapan ilk adamdır heralde. Bi ara öyle dağıtmış ve farklı suçlardan içeri girmek zorunda kalmıştır ki, "geldik madem burada da söyleriz" diyerek gitarını konuşturmuştur. Sesi de çok farklı tok ve özgündür. Hayatının anlatıldığı "I walk the line" adlı belgesel filmi her türlü tavsiye ediyorum. Biyografisinin anlatıldığı filme adını veren parça I walk the Line "genç Johnny" ve "yaşlı Johnny" den sizlere gelsin. Adam nihayetinde uzun yaşadı.

Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line (live) William974

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

Debout sur le Zinc - Elle



Günün ilk şarkısı yüzünü doğunun büyüsüne dönmüş fransız grup Debout sur le Zinc'ten gelsin.
Çimenlik bir mekanda döne döne dinlemek vardı ama kafanızı sağdan sola daireler çizerek hafif döndürerek dinlemek de :) iyi gelebilir. idare edeceğiz artık :)

Elle a la sensibilité tenue à vif,
Pas de doute, la barre est haute, mais
Pas le choix, jamais dire jamais.

Elle a la conscience aiguisée,
À la source de tout acte elle remonte,
Avec ou sans tact,
Isole le sens, en extrait l'essentiel.

Elle a la douleur érigée
En étendard, tenue correcte exigée,
Fais gaffe au faux pas, faut pas déconner
Avec tout et n'importe quoi, c'est pigé ?

Elle monte à l'assaut dans tous les sens du terme,
Et si douce, si douce à l'épiderme,
Bas les pattes,
Si tu penses en termes de sexe faible ou fort,
Encore un effort.

Refrain : Elle a des idéaux vertigineux,
Des montagnes d'envies,
Des tas d'idées pour améliorer la vie,
Parc'qu'à part elle, personne n'y pense.
Elle a des idéaux vertigineux,
Et moi ça m'éblouit,
Je kife cet appétit imparable, insatiable, inaltérable.

Elle part à la recherche de son identité,
Dans les bas-fonds, là où ses soeurs sommeillent,
Un sommeil long de tant de vies effacées,
Consentantes et forcées,

Elle, de l'admettre, forcée de reconnaître en certains
Le talent certain de séparer les elles des ils,
Par la force et le poids de leur attribut viril.

Versée dans l'art et la manière de formuler tout c'qui touche
Les tabous accumulés, les non-dits en vigueur,
Principe caché de l'aigreur ;
Elle ne se fait pas que des amis, mais ainsi va la vie.

Elle aime alors dans son malheur trouver,
Quand tout est vain, (quand) tout semble arrêté,
Le réconfort de l'âme soeur à mes côtés.

Refrain.

Elle a la sensibilité tenue à vif,
Pas de doute, la barre est haute, mais
Pas le choix, jamais dire jamais.

Elle a la conscience aiguisée,
À la source de tout acte elle remonte,
Avec ou sans tact,
Isole le sens, en extrait l'essentiel.
