Vino Dragostea

Sofia Leão, only 18 years old, is a Portuguese composer and musician and daughter of our known Rodrigo Leão. She released her 1st album "Mar" (Sea) one month ago. Most songs are sung in Portuguese, one in English and this one, in Italian, Vino Dragostea, a very nice song, kinda old traditional troubadour song about some loose ideas like: Dragostea Wine, weak current of Satan, you go with this current ... The sea embraces the moon, the moon embraces the sea ... and you depend on yourself.

Sharon Van Etten and The Attachment Theory

Full Performance, KCRW Live.
A masterpiece. Hard to tell which songs I prefere:
Live Forever, Afterlife, Idiot Box, Trouble, I Can't Imagine (Why You Feel This Way), Somethin' Ain't Right, Southern Life (What It Must Be Like), Fading Beauty, I Want You Here.

My today's song

Bon Iver singing the heartbreaking song Love More with his friend and the song composer Sharon Van Etten.
SO touching, SO beautiful.

Don't Do It, a take two

This was my yesterday's song.
It was posted 1stly here
Sharon said to KEXP: "I definitely wrote it with people in mind. Suicide is obviously immediate. People that have mental health issues, that don't take care of themselves or don't know how to, or don't know how to reach out for help, and how helpless they are and how helpless you feel as a friend. ... Even though sometimes I get embarrassed of how, when you just look at lyrics on a page without the music, I'm like, 'if you want to do it, you want to do it, even if I don't want you to.' Like, alone looking at those lyrics, I get embarrassed. But a lot of it is the emotion behind it that makes it feel that much more tangible, and maybe elusive at the same time. It's still a complex thought, to be honest."

Coisas (Things). It's just things. I'm fine. Almost so fine. See how good it is to live again.


Dia Mau (Bad Day). The bitter taste of loneliness! It's just another bad, bad, day.

Ana Moura

Ana Moura is a Portuguese singer of the music genre Fado. She is related to Africa and its culture due to her parents living in Angola and to her African grandmother Guilhermina. Casa Guilhermina, is the title of Ana Moura's last album where she embraces all her ancestral cultures with some mix of new urban rhythms. Here's some videos I recorded from her last concert, 3 days ago.

To America and to the Moon

Os Azeitonas (The Olives) is a band from Porto, Portugal. This song, entirely composed by Miguel Araújo, is their biggest success. It's a love song about a boy promising his girlfriend, he's gonna sell his guitar to take her to America and to the Moon, and other things. Amazing :)
This is my video recording made a few hours ago. Enjoy :)

Psycho Killer, 50 years

... plus one.
Psycho Killer was 1stly performed live in 1974 by the band Artistics, which became the Talking Heads.
Supposedly, Talking Heads 1st live show in CBGB, happened precisely 50 years ago, on 5th of June 1975.
And so, the Talking Heads just released a video commemorating that ... fact. The video shows a disturbed woman in her daily life.

And now, one of the some (3?) Talking Heads performances in CBGB on 1975.
