Ao Domingo Há Música

Between Love
In between love, trying to scheme love
Who can tell what we may find?
Never thought love, that I'd get caught, love
Between the magic in your eyes

Your love's like wind and it's so cool and breezy
Never thought that love could be so easy

In between love, trying to scheme love
In between love, again

In between love, trying to scheme love
Who can tell what we may find?
All this time, love,
I was so blind, love
To the feelings in my mind

Your love's like wind and it's so cool and breezy
Never thought that love could be so easy
In between love, trying to scheme love
In between love, again
Tom Waits

A diferença é talvez a marca maior de um artista. Diferença que se faz em talento, perfeccionismo e originalidade. Procurar um artista peculiar,cujo percurso tenha sido feito sob o signo da singularidade, não se encontra de imediato e, dificilmente, se acha na curva do caminho. Que há alguns é uma realidade que todos conhecemos. E isso é fonte de prazer e de redescoberta sempre que os retomamos.

Foi o que nos aconteceu, neste domingo. Redescobrimos a voz do inconfundível e talentoso Tom Waits. Juntámos algumas rubricas,  em jeito de lista,  para uma selecção à la carte.

Tom Waits, em  Between Love do Álbum The Early Years, Volume II.

Tom Waits, em  "Closing Time".

Tom Waits, em  'On The Other Side Of the World'.

One From The Heart
As you go out it's Independence Day
But instead I'll just pour myself a drink
It's got to be love, I've never felt this way
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

The shadows in the road look like a railroad track
I wonder if he's (ever) really comin' back
The moon's a yellow stain across the sky
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

And I'll go down to the corner and get a racin' form
(But) And I should probably wait here by the phone
And the brakes need adjustment on the convertible
Oh baby, this one's from the heart

The worm is climbin' the other color tree
Robin is back against the wall
Pour myself a double sympathy
Oh baby, this one's from the heart
