Martha Wainwright

Wainwright?!? Onde é que eu já ouvi este nome? Sim, Martha Wainwright é a irmã de Rufus Wainwright. Conheci-a quando recentemente visualizava o interessante filme P.S., em que aparecem duas músicas de Martha que me fizeram parar o filme de propósito. Sinceramente, não ouvia um álbum deste género musical tão bom desde o "Pieces of You", editado pela Jewel, em 1995. Não vou gastar o meu latim para promover este fabuloso álbum, pois têm aqui e aqui excelentes críticas que podem consultar. Deixo-vos com as músicas que fazem parte da banda sonora do lindo filme com Laura Linney. Primeiro fiquei completamente apaixonado pela segunda, depois o álbum deixou-me sem palavras...

"These Flowers"

These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild

These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild

They are like those children
Go off to school & don't come back
And I am like their mother
Waiting around about to crack
Crack
Crack
I want them back
Crack
Crack
I want them back
Back
Back
Back

You are like a flower
You rise & rise to the sun
You do not look back at where you came from
I wanna be like that
That
That
That

And the boys they run faster
And they throw harder
And they get stronger
And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone
I wanna be like that
That
That
That

And the girls they are pretty
And they get silly
When they get giddy
And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone
I wanna be like that
That

I'm on my knees in the corner
Wiping my floor, wiping my floor, yeah
And they are gone, they are gone, they are gone
I wanna be like that
That
That
That

These flowers are coming up wild
They're coming up, they're coming up
They're coming up wild



"When The Day Is Short"

When the day is short
And the nights are long
It's a different world
Where the rules are wrong

And I, I will go home with who
Whoever is sure
Are you sure?

And I don't care if you
If you love me tomorrow just
Love me tonight & I
I will be all right
I'll be all right
I'll be all right
Until tomorrow night

And it's oh so long
Meet your, meet your friends at the bar
And is that who those people are?
They they seem so very...oh, far
They seem so far
Is that who they really are?

And on the jukebox is your
Is your only song & I
I have never remembered the words
Now I've waited, waited too long
I've waited too long
Our love is gone

No more sober words of love
No more walks in the park side
No more sweet & shy touches, yeah
We're just lovers in the dark
Feel nothing, leave no mark
But it was fun when we saw sparks

When the day is short
And the nights are long
It's a different world
Where the rules are wrong

I'll be all right
I'll be all right
