"Testify" - Rage Against The Machine (live, Lisboa 2008)

Mas que mesmo assim, tendo visto Metallica e muitas outras coisinhas do melhor que há da música do meu tempo, este foi sem dúvida o melhor concerto que eu tive o prazer de assistir...



TESTIFY
"The movie ran through me
The glamour subdued me
The tabloid untied me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes the car is our wheelchair
My witness your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless boys
Who travel now in coffins
On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify
Its right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness I'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door"

Podem não ser tão completos instrumentalmente como Metallica mas têm letras e atitude que não lhes fica nada atrás. E o concerto foi... uma loucura...



(agora esta história dos concertos que presenciei deu-me ideia para as próximas dezenas de posts... realmente já vi tanta coisa brutal na minha vida... que delícia!)

"...And justice for all" - Metallica (live, Lisboa 2007)

Tenho estado semi-deprimida por não ir ver Metallica nestes 2 concertos por terras lusas, mas ando em modo de contenção de despesas para algo MUITO MELHOR... :D
Queria postar uma música deles, mas é tão dificil escolher...
No entanto descobri uma, que simultaneamente é uma boa maneira de me animar, uma gravada no concerto que FUI ver deles. :D
Sim que pelo menos estavam todos virados para mim e o James tinha a voz 3 anos menos fodida...



Podia ter escolhido outras musicas mas acho que esta malha só tocaram quando os fui ver! ;)

"Atmosphere" - Joy Division & R.I.P. Ian Curtis...

Ian Curtis, vocalista dos britânicos Joy Division, suicidou-se há exactamente 30 anos (18 de Maio de 1980), em Macclesfield, Inglaterra. O músico, cujo nome completo era Ian Kevin Curtis, tinha apenas 23 anos quando faleceu, na véspera da primeira digressão norte-americana da banda.
Uma banda que aprecio imenso... Aliás já aqui postei no dia 12 de Janeiro de 2010 a minha música favorita deles "Transmission".
Aqui fica o "Atmosphere"... ...

"Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town" - Pearl Jam

ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN

"i seem to recognize your face
haunting, familiar, yet i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place, i wish i'd seen the place
but no one's ever taken me
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
i swear i recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
me, you wouldn't recall, for i'm not my former
it's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf
i changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
i just want to scream...hello...
my god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are, and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade..."

Tão linda que ela é...

"Sweet Disposition" - The Temper Trap, e aqui vamos nós! :-*

Esta música parece acompanhar os bons momentos...
Vamos lá, good vibes! :D

"Disarm" - Smashing Pumpkins (I have no choice...)

Sei que é um até já, mas preferia não ir já...
