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.
