Tudo pensado ao pormenor



Starts singing backstage an then appears on stage. Two adrenaline and serotonin rushes. One after the other.

Tudo pensado.
The devil is in the details.

Dear reader

No one is better than you.
No one is worse than you.

You are no better than anyone else.
You are no worse than anyone else.

Ninguém é melhor que ninguém.

(entre outros)

Sabe tanto. You guys know the lyrics, don't you?
I know what boys like. I know what girls like.

aspirational
ˌaspɪˈreɪʃən(ə)l/
adjective
  1. having or characterized by aspirations to achieve social prestige and material success.
    "young, aspirational, and independent women"

Faith in humanity?



Where are we going as human beings?
Is faith in humanity lost?

Eu:
-hey Siri, do you have faith in humanity?
Siri:
-Interesting question, André.

Faith in humanity.
Lost. Checking it out. Not Found.
Try again. Cannot find it. Reloading. Restored.

No dia a seguir.
Living. Watching the news.
Faith in humanity? Reset. Hard reset. There is a problem. Cannot be restored.

Homelessness is not a choice. Ninguém escolhe um destino cruel.

I'm living out in LA



AND

All I know are sad songs, sad songs

A performance, em baixo,  seems to come straight out of an episode of grey's anatomy, só que na vida real. Aos 2'34''.

What would you do?



A child has grown up. Too early.

At the end, everyone around recognizes his genius, except him.

Do álbum OK Computer, saem letras escritas pelo código da vida. Hard to understand by others, apenas descodificadas pelo código que há em cada um de nós. Escritas de forma complexa, propositadamente. Letras percebidas de forma empática por uns e pela forma mais dura por outros.

Code of life has written and explained the science of love.

Lots of Love, impossível não gostar de ti. É impossível não gostar porque o amor é uma ciência, and as a lecture of quantum physics, it is fucking hard to understand. So, we dislike it until we find its purpose and usefulness.

A ironia do destino, é que é uma pesquisa no google que explica esta letra a muita gente. Yes, the computer of your brain (the same that f*cks you up) has created the computer at your desk.

Girls




Girls
The 1975
The 1975

Estamos em 2016. Lançado em 2013. Respect.



"The official music video for "Girls" was released on 23 October 2013. It follows the video for "Sex", which changed the art style of the band's music videos that were originally monochrome. Rather than reverting to the black-and-white style, the band decided to continue making music videos in color. Speaking about the music video, lead singer and guitarist Matt Healy said:


When we released our last video ['Sex'], people really reacted to the fact that it was in colour. There was a lot of conjecture and talk surrounding it - due to the fact that it was an unexpected stylistic change. It was brought to our attention that certain people thought we were 'conforming to a record company's wishes' along with other expected and unexpected clichés. Obviously this couldn't be further from the truth, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by a group of individuals whose mantra centres on facilitating our creative wishes, we found the whole idea of us being told what to do fascinating. The story of the band who suffer at the hands of a record label shortly after a delirious rise is a tale as old as time. So we kinda wanted to make a tongue-in-cheek video about it. Twinned with our love of '80s pop, its innocence, grandiosity and conceptual ideas in music videos – we wanted to make a video about a record label's attempt at enforced conformity. We got our mate Adam down to a studio in Los Angeles at the start of our USA tour, got four models and made a video about us not wanting to make a video."

Spring break



Fast Forward to 55'00''. Play it. Goste-se ou não.

O poder da música enquanto arte WTF! é inegável. O sotaque do  D. Guetta no meio disto tudo é o que menos importa. Tudo passa a ser tolerável. Fire away.

A música transforma-se em química . Os químicos ganham fórmula C11H15NO2 musical.

Diz que a edição mais recente acabou de acontecer. No Estado da Flórida, em Miami, para o ano há mais: https://ultramusicfestival.com

A primavera continua. #pagebreak

#ELI5 # A admiração que eu tenho pelos editores de vídeo que no meio de tantos coisos, só focam good-looking people. Não é discriminação, é compaixão.

#Tu só vais para seres igual aos que aparecem nos vídeos, mas -spoiler alert- não vais ser como eles. É tudo uma encenação. Ou Marketing. Ou outra cena qualquer. Tu pagas para pretenderes. Quem recebe o dinheiro sabe bem quem tu és.

#O extraordinário é que continuamos a pagar. Até pagamos sem querer. Ou queremos sem pagar. That's the power of music.

Feet don't fail me now




When you’re happy, you enjoy the music. When you’re sad, you understand the lyrics.



O embrulho de um pretérito 
pior-que-perfeito
numa canção.

A interpretação 

da 
natureza humana, numa simples música.

[Insert your curse word here]

Burberry's Coat?





A música mainstream ensina-nos muita coisa, apesar de tudo.

A história que esta canção conta encontra semelhanças na vida de todos nós. Os destinatários da frase que escrevi anteriormente são precisamente aqueles que discordaram da mesma assim que a acabaram de ler. 

A realização do videoclip é muito bem conseguida.

Enorme Canção




R.I.P. 2 My Youth recebeu dos THE NEIGHBOURHOOD um tratamento lírico e musical assinalável. O tema foi pela primeira vez escutado através da estação de rádio KROQ, como o vídeo em baixo documenta. 

A canção aborda uma das fases mais difíceis de qualquer ser humano, e não é complicado antever que, mais tarde ou mais cedo, esta trilha sonora tenha um resgate para qualquer filme de Hollywood. Só espero que a canção sirva de base a um filme conceptual e não receba Hollywood treatment, pois é um assunto demasiado intenso para ser tratado de forma leve. 

Enough said.

Lyrics that encapsulate it all


"New Americana"



Cigarettes and tiny liquor bottles,
Just what you'd expect inside her new Balenciaga.
Vile romance, turned dreams into an empire.
Self-made success now she woes with Rockefellers.

Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.

We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.

Young James Dean, some say he looks just like his father,
But he could never love somebody's daughter.
Football team loved more than just the game
So he vowed to be his husband at the alter.

Survival of the richest, the city's ours until the fall.
They're Monaco and Hamptons bound but we don't feel like outsiders at all.

We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.

We know very well who we are, so we hold it down when summer starts.
What kind of dough have you been spending?
What kind of bubblegum have you been blowing lately?

We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.
We are the new Americana,
High on legal marijuana,
Raised on Biggie and Nirvana,
We are the new Americana.

The New Americana | Badlands

London Grammar

Os London Grammar são a extensão lógica da poesia shakesperiana. De casta britânica, e num tom que varia entre o dramático e o melancólico, os London Grammar têm tudo para ser a banda revelação Outono-Inverno 2013-2014.

O warm-up parece feito, e está recheado de boas críticas. O britânico The Guardian tem referido, várias vezes, a competência da banda. Do outro lado do Atlântico, o apelo ao sentimentalismo da vocalista e restantes membros, também começa a reunir likes e a colher bons ratings.

Não têm a força pop de uma banda made in US, nem vêm com um produtor de créditos firmados, mas têm a essência e ingenuidade de quem gosta daquilo que faz.

From England, with love.
