Deixa-me rir...

Van Morrison. Um dos meus (muitos) artistas preferidos. Adoro a sua voz rouca e expressiva, cheia de blues e decadência. As canções que se seguem são algumas das minhas preferidas. A primeira é particularmente harmoniosa e incrivelmente romântica (“Someone Like you”).



A segunda parece-me um pastiche (no melhor sentido, evidentemente), tanto pelo ritmo como pela nasalidade da voz, de outro dos meus artistas de eleição, que o dono deste estabelecimento abomina (sorry, JdB!): Mick Jagger (“Brown Eyed Girl”).



A terceira descobria-a por acaso e fiquei totalmente fã. Um incrível diálogo de blues, jazz, virtuosismo e improvisação tudo à mistura (“Common One”).



Até dia 24.

  1. Hi pcp, great choice of artist... I like the first two songs. Not the last where I hate the repeated answering phrases, it gets boring after a while. I saw VM once years ago, he was a miserable goat complaining all the time to hs musicians that rhythm and timing was too slow/too fast, never satisfied. Perfectionist maybe, control freak probably, spiritual definitely. Thx, PO

  3. Philip,
    Like I told you before you are a l'aise in your 50s!
    I agree with your comment totally.
    C my view is that this post does not ressemble you at all, I dont recognise you in here, not a bit. Like someone said before in here - tem costela?

  7. there was nothing weird about your post, actually you said very little in your text. i was just responding to ML's comment that somehow you were not being you????? at least i understood ML comment "tem costela?" to mean that you have an alter-ego, like Eve born from Adam's costela, was this not the meaning? I don't think your third song was unusual for you at all, but i didn't pay attention to the lyric because i didn't like the repetition, so maybe ML heard something crazy in the lyrics. PO

  11. ainda bem que percebeu a minha escolha, fq! Eu também achei um espanto. Talvez um pouco repetitiva e monótona, não digo que não, mas extremamente original e alucinantemente criativa! Obrigada!!! pcp
