Não estou particularmente triste , mas nunca achei que em momentos de tristeza se devem ouvir músicas alegres ou "uplifting" . A tristeza merece ser partilhada e nada melhor que isto do que uma música que reflecte aquilo que sentimos . Escolhi 10 das minhas predilectas nos meus momentos de desespero, sem qualquer ordem de preferência , enjoy :
Fleet Foxes - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song
"Dear Shadow alive and well,
How can the body die ? You tell me ,
Everything , Anything,
True."
Sufjan Stevens - Casimir Pulaski Day
"In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing"
Radiohead - No Surprises
"I'll take a quite life , a handshake of carbon monoxide"
Wilco - Ashes of American Flags
Neutral Milk Hotel - Two Headed Boy Part 2
"In my dreams you're alive and you're crying
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet
Rings of flowers around your eyes and I'll love you
For the rest of your life"
Alice in Chains - Nutshell
"And yet I find , yet I find ,
repeating in my head ...
If i can't be my own , I'd feel better dead"
Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds and a Sound
"Now I see you, til kingdom come
You're the one I want
To see me
For all the stupid shit I've done"
Pearl Jam - The End
"More than friends, I always pledge,
cause friends, they come and go.
People change as does everything.
I wanted to grow old.
Just want to grow old"
Gary Jules - Mad World
"Hide my head i want to drown my sorrows
No tomorrow , no tomorrow ..."
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
"Well maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you that hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"
Wilco - Ashes of American Flags
"The cash machine, is blue and green
For a hundred in twenties and a small service fee
I can spend 3 dollars and 63 cents
On diet Coca Cola and unlit cigarettes
I wonder why we listen to poets and nobody gives a fuck
How hot and sorrowful this machine begs for luck
All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
I want a good life with a nose for things
A fresh wind and bright skies To enjoy my sufferings
A hole without a key if I break my tongue
Speaking of tomorrow, how will it ever come
All my lies are only wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
I'm down on my hands and knees every time the doorbell rings
I shake like a toothache when I hear myself sing
All my lies are always wishes
I know I would die if I could come back new
I would like to salute the ashes of American flags
And all the falling leaves filling up shopping bags"
