Van Occupanther

Mais um Midlake pra o blog:

Balloon Maker

Essa música é do primeiro, e mais experimental, disco do Midlake.

Rulers, ruling all things

O Midlake surpreende mais uma vez com o seu novo disco, lançado agora no início de 2010. É cheio de músicas belíssimas, bastou ouvir uma única vez e já me apaixonei pelo álbum. E na primeira passagem pelo álbum, a música que mais me chamou atenção foi essa Rulers, ruling all things. O vídeo é retirado do filme Stalker, dirigido pelo Tarkovsky, de 1979.

Roscoe

Mais Midlake, com uma das melhores músicas deles.



Stonecutters made them from stones
Chosen specially for you and I
Who will live inside
The mountaineers gathered tender
Piled high
In which to take along.
Driving many miles, knowing they'd get here.

When they got here, all exhausted
On the roof leaks they got started
And now when the rain comes
We can be thankful

Ooh aah ooh
When the mountaineers
Saw that everything fit, they were
Glad and so they took off

Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

The village used to be all one really needs
That's filled with hundreds and hundreds of
Chemicals that mostly surround you
You wish to flee but it's not like you
So listen to me, listen to me

Oh, oh, oh and when the morning comes,
We will step outside
We will not find another man inside
We like the newness, the newness of all
That has grown in our garden soaking for so long

Whenever I was a child I wondered what if my name had changed into something more productive like Roscoe
Been born in 1891
Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline

Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with

1891
They looked around the forest
They made their house from cedars
They made their house from stones

Oh, they're a little like you, and
They're a little like me
When they're falling me

Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place
(This place)
(This place)

When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
(When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with)

It Covers the Hillside

Um pouco mais de Midlake essa semana não é demais.



It covers the roadways
It covers the hillsides
It covers the houses
It covers the frozen pines

We had the snowfall
To run all the rations dry
When we got hungry
We'd taken what wasn't ours

Now we will set out
The seats are cold on this boat
As we head towards the ocean, towards the ocean

Making our way out
Trying to survive
As we head our towards the ocean

I'm not sure where this river goes
But we have no choice but to follow
There is smoke in the sky over those trees
Let us hope they are kind to you and me

Let us hope, let us hope they have enough
Winter comes it sure is rough
Maybe they'll welcome us
We won't ask much
But their rations were low
And they couldn't help us
So off we go

It covers the roadways
It covers the hillsides
It covers the houses
It covers the frozen pines

Now we will set out
The seats are cold on this boat
As we head towards the ocean

Making our way out
Trying to survive
As we head our towards the ocean

Towards the ocean, towards the ocean
Towards the ocean, towards the ocean

He Tried to Escape

Música do primeiro, e mais experimental, álbum do Midlake. Um espetáculo de disco.

Head Home

O Midlake tem fortes influências do Radiohead e Grandaddy, tem um segundo álbum impecável. O primeiro álbum eu ouvi depois, e achei também completamente espetacular, pois tem uma levada mais jazz/experimental que eu gosto. A música de hoje é do segundo disco, o The Trials of Van Occupanther. Amanhã coloco uma do primeiro.



No-one seems to be around today
They must've all gone off without me again
I think I'll head home

Maybe I'll find them gathered 'round my doorstep
Oh, to sleep in a comfortable bed
I think I'll head home

No-one seems to be around today
They must've all gone off without me again
I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home

Bring me a day full of honest work
and a roof that never leaks
I'll be satisfied

Bring me the news all about the town
How it struggles to help all the farmers out
During harvest time

But there's someone I'd like to see
She never mentions a word to me
She reads Leviathan

I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home

Bring me a day full of honest work
and a roof that never leaks
I'll be satisfied

Bring me the news all about the town
How it struggles to help all the farmers out
During harvest time

But there's someone I'd like to see
She never mentions a word to me
She reads Leviathan

I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home

I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home
I think I'll head home

Young Bride

Algumas músicas me apaixonaram de primeira, ou talvez melhor seria dizer me arrebataram de primeira, tais como A Day in the Life dos Beatles, Wish You Were Here do Pink Floyd, Fake Plastic Trees do Radiohead, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out dos Smiths, Wonderwall do Oasis, o Dark Side of the Moon de cabo a rabo. E foi o que aconteceu com Young Bride da banda Midlake, acho que deve ser o violino, não resisto a um violino, e o clipe é bem bonito de ver, a atriz é uma graça:
