Ο Γιάννης Πετρίδης στο Kosmos - Famous Blue Raincoat (Leonard Cohen)


Leonard Cohen
----------------------------------------------------

Marissa Nadler
----------------------------------------------------
It's four in the morning, the end of December
I'm writing you now just to see if you're better
New York is cold, but I like where I'm living
There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert
You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You'd been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without Lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see Jane's awake --

She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I'm glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

Sincerely, L. Cohen.

Madredeus - Alfama (1995)



Agora,
Que lembro,
As horas ao longo do tempo;

Desejo,
Voltar,
Voltar a ti,
Desejo-te encontrar;

Esquecida,
Em cada dia que passa,
Nunca mais revi a graá§a
Dos teus olhos
Que amei.

Má¡ sorte, foi amor que ná£o retive,
E se calhar distraá­-me...
- Qualquer coisa que encontrei.

Drake - Headlines (2011)



[Verse 1]
I might be too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence
Started not to give a fuck and stopped fearing the consequence
Drinking every night because we drink to my accomplishments
Faded way too long, I'm floatin' in and out of consciousness
And they saying I'm back, I agree with that
I just take my time with all this shit, I still believe in that
I had someone tell me I fell off, ooh I needed that
And they want to see me pick back up, well, where'd I leave it at?
I know I exaggerated things, now I got it like that
Tuck my napkin in my shirt cause I'm just mobbin' like that
You know good and well that you don't want a problem like that
You gonna make someone around me catch a body like that
No, don't do it, please don't do it
Cause one of us goes in, and we all go through it
And Drizzy got the money, so Drizzy gonna pay it
Those my brothers, I ain't even gotta say it
That's just something they know

[Hook]
They know
That the real is on the rise, fuck them other guys
I even gave 'em a chance to decide, now it's something they know
They know, they know, they know

[Verse 2]
I be yelling out money over everything, money on my mind
Then she wanna ask when it got so empty
Tell her I apologize, happened over time
She says they miss the old Drake, girl don't tempt me
If they don't get it, they'll be over you
That new shit that you got is overdue
You better do what you supposed to do
I'm like "why I gotta be all that?" but still I can't deny the fact
That it's true, listening to you expressing all them feelings
Soap opera rappers, all these niggas sound like "All My Children"
And that's who you thinking is 'bout to come and make a killing
I guess it really is just me, myself and all my millions
You know that they ain't even got it like that
You gonna hype me up and make me catch a body like that
Cause I live for this, it isn't just a hobby like that
When they get my shit and play it, I ain't even gotta say it, they know

[Hook]

[Outro]
I be yelling out: money over everything, money on my mind
Tell them I apologize, it happened over time, they know

I heard once that they would rather hear about memories than enemies
Rather hear what was or will be than what is
Rather hear how you got it over how much it cost you
Rather hear about finding yourself and how you lost you
Rather you make this an open letter, about family and struggle and it taking forever
About hearts that you’ve broken and ties that you’ve severed
No doubt in my mind, that’ll make them feel better.

The Nits - In the Dutch Mountains (1987)



I was born in the valley of bricks
Where the river runs high above the rooftops
I was waiting for the cars
coming home late at night
From the Dutch mountains

I was standing in the valley of rock
Up to my belly in an early fog
I was looking for the road
to a green painted house
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains
Mountains

I met a woman in the valley of stone
She was painting roses
on the walls of her home
And the moon is a coin
with the head of the queen
Of the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains

(Instrumental)

I lost a button of my shirt today
It fell on the ground
And it was rolling away
Like a trail leading me back
To the Dutch mountains
To the Dutch mountains
Mountains

I met a miller on the back of a cow
He was looking for the wind
but he didn't know how
I said: Follow the cloud
that looks like a sheep
In the Dutch mountains
In the Dutch mountains

Daba dabda ..

In the Dutch mountains

Daba dabda ..

In the Dutch mountains
Mountains Mountains
Mountains Mountains
Buildings Buildings Buildings

The Black Keys - Sister (2011)



Wake up
Gonna wake up to nothing
Break up
The break up is coming
When you're heart is hollow
Another pill to swallow

Shake up
Got to shake up you're freezin'
Make up
I'm gonna make up my reasons

I used to say I need you
But I got to leave you

[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you

Did they take and try to break
A heart that long
It's so wrong

Hung up
Got me hung up in draft
Rung up
Got me rung up in bed

You took that handy job
The one who showed you love

[chorus]
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Sister, sister what did they do to you
Did they take and try to break
A heart that long
It's so wrong.
