Ballads Weeks...

Comecemos pelo principio...uma das baladas mais primárias e mais tocantes...há que reconhecer a autenticidade e porque não a genialidade desta canção!

Righteous Brothers (1940-2003)

It is difficult to imagine a time when The Righteous Brothers had not impacted American Pop Culture.

George Michael's weeks...Let's go Outside



Depois de ter sido obrigado a assumir a sua orientação sexual, tudo ficou mais fácil para George Michael. As sátiras presentes nas suas músicas tornaram-se quase ma obrigação. Esta é uma música tipo do George Michael pós Freedom.

Assim termina o George Michael's weeks e uma nova temática virá...aguardem!

Oldie.

George Michael's weeks...Freedom



Esta musica foi talvez o grito da revolta interior, o romper com o passado, com o blusão de cabedal, e o rótulo de sex simbol, desejado por muitas adolescente. Talvez o principio do assumir a sua natureza, os seus desejos, as suas orientações sexuais.

Enfim, esta é uma análise muito pessoal, mas, estejam atentos à música, ao videoclip, e claro está, à letra que vos deixo.

Oldie.

***********

I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

I say that's what you get

That's what you get for changing your mind

And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live

George Michael's weeks...Club Tropicana



O inicio desta musica lembra as noites quentes de Verão, com o som de grilos como barulho de fundo. O resto...é deixarmo-nos levar pelo videoclip e mergulharmos no Club Tropicana, uma das canções mais quentes e leves que podemos sacar do tempo dos Wham...

Oldie.

George Michael's weeks...Careless Whisper



Coloquem-me o rótulo que quiserem, mas ouvir esta música, assistir ao seu videoclip, transporta-nos para outra dimensão, uma dimensão mais tranquila, mais transparente, mais afectuosa, sem duvida mais espiritual.

Esta é "A Canção", a mãe de todas as outras deste autor, a obra prima de eleição, uma música que, independentemente da sua origem, é um vértice na história, uma resposta para qualquer problema, seja qual for a sua natureza...

Oldie.

***************

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that you were strong enough
To even make a start
But you'll never find
Peace of mind
Till you listen to your heart

People
You can never change the way they feel
Better let them do just what they want
For they will
If you let them
Steal your heart from you
People
Will always make a lover feel a fool
But you knew I loved you
We could have shown them all
We should have seen love through

Fooled me with the tears in your eyes
Covered me with kisses and lies
So goodbye
But please don't take my heart

You are far
But I'm never gonna be your star
I'll pick up the pieces
And mend my heart
Maybe I'll be strong enough
I don't know where to start
But I'll never find
Peace of mind
While I listen to my heart

People...

But remember this
Every other kiss
That you ever give
Long as we both live
When you need the hand of another man
One you really can surrender with
I will wait for you
Like I always do
There's something there
That can't compare with any other

You are far
When I could have been your star
You listened to people
Who scared you to death, and from my heart
Strange that I was wrong enough
To think you'd love me too
I guess you were kissing a fool
You must have been kissing a fool...

Oldie.

George Michael's weeks... Somebody to love

George Michael's weeks...


George Michael é, sem dúvida alguma, um dos músicos mais bem sucedidos da história da música moderna.

Foi com distinção e muito glamour que passou pelas décadas de 80 e 90 e ainda actualmente tem o seu lugar de destaque e distinção no panorama musical.

Esta actuação ao vivo em 1991 com Careless Whisper, diz muito da intemporalidade da música e do cantor...
