It´s Music To Your Ears

I don´t hear, or even know many french bands but here´s one.




This one is from their fourth studio album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, a very nice album that I reccomend.

It´s Music To Your Ears

Monday...toughest day of the week for many. To help those that think like that I´ll start this thing called "It´s Music To Your Ears". Every Monday, one music video.

I´ll start with one of the best songs I´ve ever heard with some of the best amazing performances live I´ve seen on youtube.

It´s so good that the girls in the first row just got their faces melted...

You can press "More From: LaBlogotheque" and watch the other brilliant edited concert videos.

Your opinion won´t change me!

Ouch...a bit offensive the first title of the year han? I´ll try to explain it during this post where I´ll wander around some things. First say that I´m a perfectionist person so if you read some huge english mistake in this post let me know.

The title and the idea of this post came from here http://peaceofanaleigh.blogspot.com/ The authouress is an inspiration. Well, I said in the last time I wrote here you would need some background of the person to enjoy the blog to the fullest so I´m gonna make your job easier...because she deserves.

Analeigh was the second-runner up in Cycle 11 of America's Next Top Model, (and yes I do watch this and boys can watch this --oh...the title...; -yeah! Ah and I think a girl looks more chic with Winter clothes than in Summer clothes; -You´re gay! ahah; -I am not. --okay enough with the title already); and she´s unique. Not only for her beauty, because being beautiful is a big help to be on the contest, but mostly for her personality. What would you expect from 13 girls in a house competing for a "dream-contest"? The usual right....fights and an competitive atmosphere. Well...not for her. Sure she wanted to win but that doesn´t mean that she can´t have true friends in the house...ones that you would keep after the show (it´s the case), ones that you´ll avoid them to do stupid things such as over-drinking. Yes, you think...Oh I would do that to...well...I wanna believe you but I would wait and see...I think the competition, prizes and today´s egoism would win over you. And let´s be honest what´s your opinion about models? Stupid; Dumbs; Lack of culture; Party girls; etc, etc...

First: Stop judging people before you meet them! Second: Not this one. She´s a next door, former figure skater, with the film-making dream in her head and who knows a book, girl with a loveable personality as you can see here http://peaceofanaleigh.blogspot.com/2009/04/immersion-in-emerson.html

She´s maybe one of the most genuinely persons in the world...and that´s what one of the things that inspires me...she´s the one you would want as a friend; yeah I´m a boy I should say "as a girlfriend" right? But let´s stop daydreaming!...a girl like Analeigh just as a friend would be perfect, because as a girl that I knew in a contest and found her blog is already good; knowing that persons like her still exist nowadays (and this "nowadays" means today´s society in developed countries; such a great subject for another post) makes me wanna go out I find a person like her because if she´s 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 or 1 in 1 MILLION the other ones must be out there! I´m running out of words (which is good in this case...and it´s sooo late)

To finish; I did some maths (and I really have to end with maths this year!) and if I´m not mistaken (probably it´s a higher number) I spent around 300€ in music last year (that includes albuns, concerts, trips, food, merchandising)...WORTH IT! Looking forward to what 2010 bring to us...well Muse for 58€ in Rock in Rio...a bit expensive...

So as a music lover as you can read and see in my blog I´ll leave you with a song. I know I should start the year with a happy song but...that´s not the case...and here it comes another link for the wonderful blog cause was there that I found this.

Where I found/lyrics: http://peaceofanaleigh.blogspot.com/2009/03/music-through-window.html

Too many links I guess...she looks beautiful in the pics (Yes, I said that to you copy the link and see the lyrics on her blog)

Sad song...with a nice upbeat. A versatile one; even more with a video like that...I wonder how many photos they took...

But... Is there a point to being a slipper but you are alone, with no other slipper to the pair?

Is there a point of being violoncello if don´t get out of your case?

Is there a point to being a girl alone, with no one to love...no one to share life with?

Yeah...It´s my point of view of the song...but I love the name of the song and this verses:

Soon she´s down the stairs

Her morning elegance she wears

The sound of water makes her dream

Awoken by a cloud of steam

She pours a daydream in a cup

A spoon of sugar sweetens up

...

The thunder makes her contemplate

She hears a noise behind the gate

Perhaps a letter with a dove

Perhaps a stranger she could love

Maybe I´ll write more here this year...we´ll see.

Thanks for your time!

Words

This isn´t to "brag" myself or something similar...

I wrote the following words over here http://peaceofanaleigh.blogspot.com/2009/03/realitys-gamble.html

If your words in this little posts captivates me so much I wonder what a book of yours would do...

Actually lately I´m having this fantasy of jumping a decade to see how I would be and come back to the age I´m now to see if I´m taking the right road or if I missed my correct exit to a world of happiness for good.

Then I come back to reality and I see that we have to build our lives every single day and lead it to the our goal...and nobody said it would be easy.

Hope you can chase your passions because you´re an inspiration --so much that I´m writting this comment 9 months after you posted it and the chances of you or anyone read this are not good but I just had to wrote it...even with some english mistakes perhaps :P-- and that´s a quality to be shared!

:)

Actually there´s a mistake...you have to forget one "the" in the end of the first paragraph...I was thinking in writting two different things...

And I recommend you to read this blog...even if some background of the person would be needed...but not extremely necessary.

It´s my last post of the year/decade so have a nice 2009 finale and a great 2010!! More words here next year!

Re-post

First: Since I have a follower that don´t understand portuguese I´ll try post some things in English, even if it´s not perfect...specially grammar...like what to use..."in";"on";"at"...

Well this one is a re-post...just because I look back at 2009 and I liked this:

I will

Here we go

Like pieces of paper

Trust me

I´ll love you later

Here we are

Having fun

Watching together

The goodbye of sun

Now we´re under

Magic twilight

Hold my hand

Hold it tight

At your side

And in your heart

Watching lines

Fall apart

In the end

I´ll hug you

And if you love me

I´ll love you

Yup, é Natal.

Caso ainda não tenham dado por ela chegou aquela altura do ano chamada Natal. Se ainda não entraram no espírito este post dá uma ajuda.





Feiz Natal!

Muse - Lisboa - 29/11/2009

Alguém que os tinha visto no dia anterior disse-me que se calhar as 18 músicas, tão criticadas por serem apenas 18, eram se calhar as músicas necessárias para se sair do pavilhão bem satisfeito e cansado. Também me tinham avisado que qualidade > quantidade e acreditem que se alguém quisesse mais músicas era porque queria literalmente sair do pavilhão de rastos.

Foi, deixem-me dizer...épico. Não (só) por no fim termos ouvido que fomos o melhor público da tour, não (só) pelo cenário imponente que cada vez ganha mais importância para os elementos da banda (coisas da digressão com os U2?), não (só) pelos belos e famosos lasers verdes que faziam grandes efeitos em todo o pavilhão, mas porque qualquer um dos que estavam no pavilhão podia olhar para o palco e ver que quem lá estava, estava a adorar lá estar.

Setlist:

Uprising

Resistance 

New Born 

Map of the Problematique 

Supermassive Black Hole 

MK Ultra

Interlude + Hysteria

Nishe + United States of Eurasia 

Feeling Good 

Guiding Light 

Helsinki Jam + Undisclosed Desires 

Starlight 

Plug In Baby

Time Is Running Out 

Unnatural Selection

Exogenesis: Symphony Pt 1: Overture 

Stockholm Syndrome 

Man With The Harmonica + Knights of Cydonia

Uma setlist interessante, em que a parte calma da coisa não agrada a muitos dos fãs (falo na Guiding Light, que eu ainda tentei gostar dela depois de a ouvir ao vivo mas não dá mesmo, Undisclosed Desires, que eu aprecio mas muitos fãs não acham lá muita piada e uma Feeling Good amada por uns e odiada por outros), de resto as novas músicas resultam na perfeição quando tocadas ao vivo. A Uprising abre lindamente o concerto, a United States of Eurasia é fantástica e a Unnatural Selection quando ouvimos o álbum e dizemos "esta ao vivo promete" não nos enganamos.

Impressionante ver também o número de pessoas que sabia as letras das músicas do novo álbum.

Apelidado de "o concerto do ano", foi sem dúvida brilhante e há dias recebemos a notícia que dia 27 de Maio, no Parque da Bela Vista, teremos de novo Muse na edição de 2010 do Rock in Rio desta vez como headliners e não para tocar uns míseros 45 minutos como em 2008.

Cheers!
