A música que não me sai da cabeça há dias:

Elephant gun - Beirut

E, porque vem a propósito, a quarta canção transcrita:

Se eu voar sem saber onde vou
Se eu andar sem conhecer quem sou
Se eu falar e a voz soar com a manhã
Eu sei...

Se eu beber dessa luz que apaga a noite em mim
E se um dia eu disser que já não quero estar aqui
Só Deus sabe o que virá
Só Deus sabe o que será
Não há outro que conhece tudo o que acontece em mim

Se a tristeza é mais profunda que a dor
Se este dia já não tem sabor
E no pensar que tudo isto já pensei
Eu sei...

Se eu beber dessa luz que apaga a noite em mim
E se um dia eu disser que já não quero estar aqui
Na incerteza de saber

O que fazer, o que querer
Mesmo sem nunca pensar

Que um dia o vá expressar
Não há outro que conhece tudo o que acontece em mim*

*Sara Tavares, "Eu sei"

Voltou-me a dar para aqui, ou a terceira canção transcrita

Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,
But somehow those folks belong.
Me, I travel all I'm worth,
But I still remain a stranger on this earth.

Some people gloom, other folks fly.
Me, I got to struggle to keep alive.
Ever since the day of my birth,
I've been a stranger on earth.

I try to be what all folks should,
Forgetting the bad and doing good.
But no matter how I try,
My troubles always multiply.
I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day is gonna come
when I don't have to prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth.

I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day's gonna come whenI don't have to prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger,
Won't be no stranger
Won't be no stranger
On this earth.*

*Lisa Ekdahl, "Stranger on Earth" ("Back to earth")

Hoje deu-me para aqui outra vez, ou a segunda canção transcrita

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky
I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a camaros hood
I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...

Pearl Jam, "Wishlist"

Hoje deu-me para aqui, ou a primeira canção transcrita

Six o'clock in the morning
You're the last to hear the warning
You've been trying to throw your arms
Around the world
You've been falling off the sidewalk
Your lips move but you can't talk
Tryin' to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman I will

Sunrise like a nosebleed
Your head hurts and you can't breathe
You been tryin' to throw you arms around the world
How far you gonna go
Before you lose your way back home
You've been trying to throw your arms
Around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman I will

Yeah, I dreamed that I saw Dali
With a supermarket trolley
He was trying to throw his arms around a girl
He took an open top beetle
Through the eye of a needle
He was tryin' to throw his arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Oh, Woman I will

(And you just gotta, you just gotta make your faith...see...)

Nothin' much to say I guess
Just the same as all the rest
Been trying to throw your arms around the world
And a woman needs a man
Like a fish needs a bicycle
When you're tryin' to throw your arms around the world

I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
I'm gonna run to you, run to you, run to you
Woman be still
Woman be still
Be still
Woman be stillWoman I will
