Belle and Sebastian "Another Sunny Day"

Grupo/Interprete: Belle and Sebastian
Canción: Another Sunny Day
Disco: The Life Pursuit (2006)
Estilo: Indie Pop





Another sunny day, I met you up in the garden You were digging plants, I dug you, beg your pardon I took a photograph of you in the herbaceous border It broke the heart of men and flowers and girls and trees Another rainy day, we're trapped inside with a train set Chocolate on the boil, steamy windows when we met You've got the attic window looking out on the cathedral And on a Sunday evening bells ring out in the dusk Another day in June, we'll pick eleven for football We're playing for our lives the referee gives us fuck all I saw you in the corner of my eye on the sidelines Your dark mascara bids me to historical deeds Everybody's gone you picked me up for a long drive We take the tourist route the nights are light until midnight We took the evening ferry over to the peninsula We found the avenue of trees went up to the hill That crazy avenue of trees, I'm living there still There's something in my eye a little midge so beguiling Sacrificed his life to bring us both eye to eye I heard the Eskimos remove obstructions with tongues, dear You missed my eye, I wonder why, I didn't complain You missed my eye, I wonder why, please do it again The lovin is a mess what happened to all of the feeling? I thought it was for real; babies, rings and fools kneeling And words of pledging trust and lifetimes stretching forever So what went wrong? It was a lie, it crumbled apart Ghost figures of past, present, future haunting the heart

Growing in numbers

Growing in speed

Can't fight the future

Can't fight what I see

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

Efforts of lovers

Left in my mind

I sing in the reaches

We'll see what we find

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

Slow slow slow, come come

Someone come come come

Even love is goin' 'round

You can't ignore what is goin' 'round

Slowly rebuilding

I feel it in me

Growing in numbers

Growing in peace

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together

People they fall apart

No one can stop us now

'Cause we are all made of stars

People they come together

(People they come together)

People they fall apart

(People they fall apart)

No one can stop us now

(No one can stop us now)

'Cause we are all made of stars

(We are all made of stars)

We are all made of stars

People they come together

We are all made of stars

(People they fall apart)

We are all made of stars

(No one can stop us now)

'Cause we are all made of stars

(We are all made of stars)

Disco: Get Guilty
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo, Indie Pop

A.C Newman fue miembro de Zumpano y en la actaulidad lo es de The New Pornographers, lo que de momento no le impide mantener una carrera discofráfica en solitario. Esta canción es de su segundo disco

there are maybe ten or twelve

things i could teach you

after that, well i think you're on your own

that wasn't their opening line

that was the tenth or the twelfth

make of that what you will

make of that what you will

once there was a haunted loop

of your deep fallen tears

forehead resting on a record shelf

amid moving boxes stacked

i'm still waiting for the right words

make of that what you will

make of that what you will

and the eyes they were

a color i can't remember

which says more than the first two verses

and it is the devil you know

that will slam the door harder

make of that what you will

make of that what you will

make of that what you will

make of that what you will

Carey Ott "I Wouldn't Do That to You"

Carey Ott es un cantautor chicaguense que a mediados de los 90 lideró, con muy poca fortuna, una banda llamada Torben Floor. Años después, ya en solitario, ha publicado dos discos. Lucid Dream es su disco publicado en 2006. Indie Pop, con el sello personal del autor y la influencia del Country Rock que cualquier nortemericano lleva en las venas.

Como dato curioso la canción de este disco "Am I just one" ha salido en la serie "Anatomía de grey".

Looking at the soft skin of yesterday's light fall upon you

Rising up off the pillowy haze that we gaze through

It's the song that I sing because I have to

I make a choice to raise my voice but you're hard to refuse

I wouldn't do that to you

I wouldn't do that to you

I couldn't drag it out

You couldn't settle me down

I wouldn't do that to you

Peel off the yellowing pages of memories in black and white

When love was just a sweet idea we could lie beside

And it's a price that we pay because we want to

But it's worse to see the hurt when she's so much to lose

I wouldn't do that to you

I wouldn't do that to you

I couldn't drag it out

You couldn't settle me down

I wouldn't do that to you

(To you, to you)

Trying on the tough skin of Saturday night falls around you

I'm thinking of the billowing blaze that surrounded you

Now it's the song that you sing because you have to, not 'cause you want to

And it's the hardest thing to choose when there's so much to lose

I wouldn't do that to you

I wouldn't do that to you (no)

I couldn't drag it out

You couldn't settle me down

I wouldn't do that to you

Guided By Voices "Glad Girls"

Hey hey, glad girls only want to get you high

And they're alright

There will be no coronation

There will be no flowers flowing in the light

That passes though me now

In the light that passes through me

Hey hey, glad girls only want to get you high

And they're alright

There will be no graduation

There will be no trumpets blowing in the light

That passes through me now

In the light that passes through me

With the sinking of the sun I've come to greet you

Clean your hands and go to sleep

Confess the dreams

Of good and bad men all around

Some are lost and some have found

The light that passes though me now

Yeah the light that passes through me

Hey hey, glad girls...

My head was heading south

But somehow my feet they seemed

Stuck in the north

And I was going to the places and all

But I couldn't find the time

I couldn't find the time

Oh baby, I couldn't find the time

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

My face was saying all

But somehow the words they seemed

Thin as air

And I'd be writing about the drama and pain

But I didn't feel a thing

I didn't feel a thing

Oh baby, I didn't feel a thing

Well getting by is easy

When you know what to do

Getting through is harder

Living in a dream

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

Seven days is just a start

And you stole my heart

Now that we're apart

I just miss all the bliss

And the sweetness that followed

Say you

Say me

If he drives you’ll need a tow-truck baby

He’s outta home for the first time maybe

What is her name?

I hear it sounds like a church spire

Is she the same as me?

Talk loud

Say it like you mean it

Cos you and I know it’s never gonna work out

Cos of the girls that you did when we were going out

Shirts smell clean on you

Oh but she’s wearing the pants now

But she can wait for another time

Cabin fever

Peace offering pays me off well

Do you know who I am?

I still love you

But it could never be like that

And I will always be your friend.

I wish I had a loving man in my life

I wish I had a father

And maybe then I woulda turned out right

But now I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad

Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head

And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart

Then I could make a brand new start in love with you

Oh I wish I had a sun tan

I wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine

I Wish I had a beach house

Then we could make a big fire every night

Instead I'm just crazy, I'm totally mad

Yeah I'm just crazy, I'm fucked in the head

And maybe if I really tried with all of my heart

Then I could make a brand new start in love with you.

Fashion crisis hits New York

I saw a blind man

He was eating his fork

He said that's what you had

To do to be cool

You eat your cutlery instead of your food

What a hippy diddly crazy world

What a hippy diddly crazy world

Well fashion it moves on and on

While the things we've bought

Have been hardly worn

And I still like my old three piece suite

But it's in the shed and I've got no seat

Oh no no

They say necklines to the waist

You change your body to keep up with the pace

The rich buy dearest cause they want to be sure

The poor can't afford to be that insecure

Disco: Euro, Deluxe Dance Party (2006)  
Estilo: Indie Pop, Electro-Pop

catch the first train

catch the first bus

catch the first plane

take your first chance to get away

you're too good for this place

you can go down under

you can take a foreign lover

you can get so high

and don't come down

until you've seen it all

until leaves begin to fall

until snow begins to fall

why dont you take your time

until you change your mind

it's not too serious

it's not the end of the world

and i love your shoes and your dress tonight

but you never invited me to your party

I used to wait for hours outside your house

outside your house

coz you were always late to see me and I

would wait for you forever

until leaves begin to fall

until snow begins to fall

why don't you take your time

until you change your mind

it's not too serious

it's not the end of the world

and we can dance so close tonight but you know

that you never even looked at me when we were younger
