Preciso confessar isto! Tive muito receio que este novo álbum de Dave Matthews Band me desiludisse. 
Mesmo com o pré lançamento da faixa Funny The Way It Is, não consegui abandonar a sensação de que desta vez eles não chegavam lá.
Oh! Como é bom estar enganado. Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King, meus amigos, é Dave Matthews no seu melhor. E é mais um daqueles álbums que, mesmo sem os catapultar para o circuito comercial, lhes irá arranjar mais uns largos milhares de fãs.
Imperdível!
Dia com a Alex. De noite voltei a casa. Estive a relembrar algumas músicas do Mr. Dave Matthews. Experimentem ouvir Seek Up, na versão Live @ Red Rocks. 13 minutos de música fenomenal. Cá fica a letra (da versão original – a versão ao vivo é bastante diferente!). :]
Sometimes I feel like I’m falling
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we think what we see
I’m not going to change my ways
Just to please you or appease you
Inside a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes all fall down
Look around about this round
About this merry-go-round around
If at all God’s gaze upon us fall
His mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be swept away
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Sit awhile with TV’s hungry child
Big belly swelled
Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke
Keep alive those hungy eyes
Take a look at me, what you see in me,
Mirror look at me
Face it all, face it all again
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that your emotions can be
Wept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, i am innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you, the devil’s not
Going–ha, ha
Say, say
Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, I’d save
Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again
Everyday things change,…stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Your emotions can be swept away
Intentions are not wicked,
Don’t be tricked into thinking so
Soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And our cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil’s not going–ha, ha
Fall back again, fall back again, fall back again…
Quando acordei, tinha umas mensagens simpáticas no telemóvel (ironia). Estranho… Não me lembro de ter feito nada durante a noite para as merecer… Tive uns sonhos esquisitos (acho que lhes chamam pesadelos), que devem ter sido premonitórios do dia de hoje… Não faz mal… Não faz mal… Faz tudo parte das mudanças que aí vêm… Se é assim que tem que ser, é assim que será… Coincidência: enquanto estava a escrever a linha anterior, o CD do Dave Matthews, “Before These Crowded Streets”, tinha chegado ao fim, e na “bonus track”, estava ele a dizer “Coming from a cold far night, everything will be allright, coming from a noise for a time, everything will be allright, everything will be allright, from now, good bye, friend, good bye…” – Pelo menos acho que é isto que ele diz… Não encontro a letra em lado nenhum…
