THE END

Κάπου εδώ έφτασε η ώρα να σας αποχαιρετήσω (μετά και το "Μπλουζ του αποχωρισμού" του Παύλου). Όλα έχουν ένα τέλος τελικά..........

Κάπου, κάπως, κάποτε, ίσως τα ξαναπούμε..................

Το μπλουζ του αποχωρισμού

Το μπλουζ του Άι Ονούφρη

Άλλος ένας δαίμονας

Για να ολοκληρωθεί ο κύκλος των χαμένων ποιητών (προς το παρόν) τελευταίο τραγούδι γι' απόψε από τον Curt Cobain, που τον Απρίλη του '94 αποφάσισε ν' αφήσει τον κοσμάκη μας και να ταξιδέψει αλλού. Ο ηγέτης των Nirvana και του κινήματος grunge άφησε ουκ ολίγα κομμάτια κληρονομιά.

Ας απολαύσουμε "The man who sold the world"

Midnight Choir

Don't turn out the lights

Στίχοι

Woke up this morning
Riding on a homebound train
Pocket full of memories
Thinking about the good old days
Bought a bottle of wine
With the last dime to my name
Jumped an Oslo freight
Running through the pouring rain

Oh mama, don't turn out the light
There's a shadow on the moon outside
Keep it burning in the window to guide my way tonight
Don't lock the door, I'm coming home for sure
I've missed the old home place
I am never gonna leave anymore

This side of the city
I felt the cold wind blow
More than a heartache
It chilled me to the bone
I squeeze my empty bottle
And the tears began to flow
It slipped right through my fingers
With a few more miles to go

Oh mama, don't turn out the light
There's a shadow on the moon outside
Keep it burning in the window to guide my way tonight
Don't lock the door, I'm coming home for sure
I've missed the old home place
I am never gonna leave anymore

Oh mama, don't turn out the light
There's a shadow on the moon outside
Keep it burning in the window to guide my way tonight
Don't lock the door, I'm coming home for sure
I've missed the old home place
I am never gonna leave anymore

Mercy of Maria

Στίχοι

As I drink too much
As I scream out of lust
At the moon for someone to touch me
As I fail to please
What the moon won`t ease
I can`t sit still from running wild
As I wipe my past
For something good to last
As demons are crowling under my skin
As I walk away
There`s nothing to do but pray
That Maria will take me in her arms
At the mercy of Maria
Will I lay my aching head
At the mercy of Maria
Will I find my resting place
At the mercy of Maria
Will I lay my aching head
At the mercy of Maria
Will I find my resting place

Muddy River of Loneliness

Στίχοι

Muddy river of loneliness
For the boredom of the road
With no sign of disrespect
For the dark and heavy load
For tomorrow
They made love upon the morning
To the beating sound of love
All her secrets disclosed
Laying in his arms
My lips won't let you

Muddy river of loneliness
For the boredom of the road
With no sign of disrespect
For the dark and heavy load

They made love upon the faithless morning
To the beating sound of love
All her secrets disclosed
Laying in his arms

Muddy river of loneliness
For the boredom of the road
x3

Muddy river of loneliness
For the boredom of the road
My lips won't let you

Long Hard Ride

Στίχοι

There, there's no room for craziness
There, there's no room for you and I
You and me baby were born on the dark side
And our love for a long hard ride ...

What's good about love
That's easily conquered
What's good about love
That ain't gonna last
What's good about love
That leaves you shattered
Like windows broken by blast ...

There, there's no way to freedom
There, there's no way for you and I
You and me baby were born on the dark side
And our love for a long hard ride ...

What's good about love
That moves too fast
What's good about love
That pulls the trigger
Before any questions are asked ...

There, there's no way to freedom
There, there's no way for you and I
You and me baby were born on the dark side
And our love for a long hard ride ...

The Violence of the World

Στίχοι

Angel, hear my call . Stranger I'm about to fall ...
The well that once drew will ...
Have no more, no more to give ...

Angel, hear my say . Stranger, come light my way
For many a prayer's escape
Save this one, it's getting late ...

Angel, I lie awake Stranger, don't let me break
The violence of the world
Took a hold, a hold of my soul ...

Angel, hear my call . Stranger, I'm about to fall
A world so hard to bear
Got no choice, oh Lord I swear ...

Angel, I lie awake
Stranger, don't let me break
The violence of the world
Took a hold, a hold of my soul ...

Angel, I lie awake
Stranger, don't let me break
The violence of the world
Took a hold, a hold of my soul
Took a hold, a hold of my soul ...

Talk To Me

Στίχοι

You're goin' down
Like a clown
You've been hangin' around
Wearin' sheades when the sun don't shine
Nothin' but a kid all burned out
Cursin' and screamin' under a cloud
Wearin' shades when the sun don't shine

If I close my eyes
When you go out tonight
Will you then talk to me?

Like an old man sittin' with a cane
Longin' for love alone in the rain
Wearin' shades when the sun don't shine

You're nothin' but a kid all burned out
Cursin' and screamin' under a cloud
Wearin' shades when the sun don't shine

If I close my eyes
When you go out tonight
Will you then talk to me?

If I close my eyes
When you go out tonight
Will you then talk to me?

(Instrumental)

If I close my eyes
When you go out tonight
Will you then talk to me?

If I close my eyes
When you go out tonight
Will you then talk to me?
Will you then talk to me?

You're goin' down
Like a clown
You've been hangin' around
Wearin' sheades when the sun don't shine

o lord clear my bed for once again i
scar the soul of that girl in my head
revenge is mine saith the lord

Ο πρίγκιπας

Ένα τραγούδι που θα μπορούσε να επενδύσει τη σειρά (αν δεν είναι υπήρχε το ταμπού της γλώσσας), ειδικά σε κάποιο επεισόδιο που θα είχε σχέση με ναρκωτικά.

Δέκα χρόνια μετά τον Ian Curtis, που ανέφερα χτες, ο πρίγκιπας της ελληνικής ροκ σκηνής αποφάσισε να μας εγκαταλείψει. Σάββατο 8 Δεκέμβρη 1990 βλέπω, σε μια φυλλάδα κρεμασμένη σ' ένα περίπτερο της Ν. Φιλαδέλφειας, στην πρώτη σελίδα γραμμένη την είδηση:" Ο Παύλος Σιδηρόπουλος έφυγε από τη ζωή". Έγινε κι αυτός σκόνη αστρική. Στις 6 Δεκέμβρη 1990.

Θεωρώ εαυτόν πολύ τυχερό, που στα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του κατάφερα να τον δω 3-4 φορές live. Μάλιστα, λίγες εβδομάδες πριν μας αφήσει τον απολαύσαμε στο ΑΝ σε φοβερές συναυλίες, δυστυχώς με το χέρι του δεμένο επειδή είχε παραλύσει.

Να' σαι καλά Παύλο, εκεί πάνω που βρίσκεσαι, "για όσα μου' δωσες, σ' ευχαριστώ"!

Η παράγκα του Θωμά

ΚΑΛΟ ΣΑΣ ΒΡΑΔΥ!!

Ο παλιός είναι αλλιώς

Στη σειρά ακούστηκαν και κομμάτια από παλιές καραβάνες αυτού του είδους μουσικής. Γνωστοί εδώ και δεκαετίες σε όσους αρέσκονται ν' ακούν τέτοια τραγούδια. Ας θυμηθούμε μερικά....

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand

Στίχοι

Take a litle walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
a red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
is a red right hand

You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand

[Organ solo]

You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
his red right hand

[Organ solo]

[Extra verse from DJ Spooky Remix (From Scream 2 Soundtrack):]
He'll extend his hand, real slowly for a shake
You'll see it coming toward you, real slowly for a shake
(Grabbing at your peril buddy?) cause you know you ain't
getting near much as he will take.

He's a...

He's mumbling words you can't understand
He's mumbling word behind his red right hand

Leonard Cohen - Avalanche

Στίχοι

Well I stepped into an avalanche,
it covered up my soul;
when I am not this hunchback that you see,
I sleep beneath the golden hill.
You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn, learn to serve me well.

You strike my side by accident
as you go down for your gold.
The cripple here that you clothe and feed
is neither starved nor cold;
he does not ask for your company,
not at the centre, the centre of the world.

When I am on a pedestal,
you did not raise me there.
Your laws do not compel me
to kneel grotesque and bare.
I myself am the pedestal
for this ugly hump at which you stare.

You who wish to conquer pain,
you must learn what makes me kind;
the crumbs of love that you offer me,
they're the crumbs I've left behind.
Your pain is no credential here,
it's just the shadow, shadow of my wound.

I have begun to long for you,
I who have no greed;
I have begun to ask for you,
I who have no need.
You say you've gone away from me,
but I can feel you when you breathe.

Do not dress in those rags for me,
I know you are not poor;
don't love me quite so fiercely now
when you know that you are not sure,
it is your turn, beloved,
it is your flesh that I wear

Marianne Faithfull - There is a ghost

Στίχοι

There is a ghost
And it goes out
On the land,
On the land

It's lifted up,
It feels and floats
On many hands,
On many hands

Oh my lover
Oh my lover
Never was there another
Where has my loverman gone ?

There is a dream
You've had before
And forgotten many times
So many times

When you remember who I am just call
When you remember who I am just call
When you remember who I am just call
When you remember who I am

There is a tree
And all its leaves have gone
For what it's seen
It standing alone

Oh my lover
Oh my lover
Go now, go now, find another
Where has my loverman has gone ?

Away, away
Across the land
Across the land
Across the land

Johnny Cash - Ηurt

Non Stop

BlackField - Pain


Στίχοι
Here I'm standing on the sea shore
She is gone, now she's gone
All the angels praying for me
As I fall, As I fall
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
To me nightmare with the devil
I'll go strong, I'll go strong
All my friends now try to save me
What a joke, what a joke
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?
While I'm melting in the rain, deep in pain, she is so far
Will we ever meet again as friends, after so long?

Brendan Perry - Medusa


Στίχοι
When all you have left are your memories
And diamonds and pearls for company
I'll be sailing to St. Lucia on the ocean breeze
With the moon and my scars for company

In your bedroom you keep an iron cage
Where a blackbird sings her freedom song
For you know the true value of keeping slaves
They sing the saddest of songs

Medusa you robbed me of my youth
Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude
Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn
You told me to undress
Then crowned my head with thorns

Medusa you robbed me of my youth
Abandoned me on the tropic of solitude
Seducer of the shipwrecked and forlorn
You told me to get dressed
Then turned my heart to stone


The Black Heart Procession - We Always Knew

Joy Division

Ένα συγκρότημα, που τα τραγούδια του θα είχαν σίγουρα θέση στο σήριαλ, αλλά όλα αυτά έγιναν πολύ παλιά! O Ιan Curtis (τραγουδιστής και ηγέτης του group) έφυγε από τον μάταιο τούτο κόσμο το 1980, αφήνοντάς μας τα τραγούδια του ως κληρονομιά.

Joy Division - Closer - The Eternal


Στίχοι
Procession moves on, the shouting is over,
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone.
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables,
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain.
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden,
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky,
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment,
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside.

Cry like a child, though these years make me older,
With children my time is so wastefully spent,
A burden to keep, though their inner communion,
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal.
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden,
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall,
No words could explain, no actions determine,
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall.

Portishead - Give me a reason to love you


Στίχοι
I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play,
For I've been a temptress too long.
Hmm just,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
I just wanna be a woman.
From this time, unchained,
Were all looking at a different picture,
Through this new frame of mind,
A thousand flowers could bloom,
Move over, and give us some room.
Yeah,
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be
A woman,
I just want to be a woman.
So don't you stop being a man,
Just take a little look from our side when you can,
Show a little tenderness,
No matter if you cry.
Give me a reason to love you,
Give me a reason to be,
A woman,
It's all I wanna be is all woman.
For this is the beginning of forever and ever,
It's time to move over ,
So I want to be.
I'm so tired of playing,
Playing with this bow and arrow,
Gonna give my heart away,
Leave it to the other girls to play.
For I've been a temptress too long.
Hmm just,
Give me a reason to love you


Madrugada - Strange Colour Blue


Στίχοι
Blue
Strange colour blue
Sixteen tons on the moon
Blue
Strange colour blue
Coming back to you
Pushing through
Pouring rain
Nearly there
Nearly there
Oh blue

Blue
Strange colour blue
Sixteen tons on the moon
Hey little mister driver man
Keep your head up
We are nearly there
I am racing
Outside and below myself
Nearly forgot myself there
Nearly there
Yeah

Oh everybody's sleeping now
An industrial silence singing
And the rain will keep hammering down from over head
Now there's a blue, blue strange colour blue
Let me dream of me and you
Oh how the rain keeps hammering down
Pour

Oh running down the window
Like a vein on my arm
Oh running down the window
Like a vein on my arm
Yeah

This is how we do it
This is how we do it
This is how we do it
Nearly there

Oh blue
Strange colour, a colour blue
Yeah, a colour blue
Oh, blue blue blue yeah
Strange colour, colour blue
Yeah, a colour blue
Oh blue blue blue yeah
Strange colour, a colour blue
Oh a colour blue

Hey little mister driver man
Keep your head up
We are nearly there

10η Εντολή

Σκέφτηκα να δώσω και πάλι (για λίγο) ζωή στο blog με μουσική επένδυση των τραγουδιών που ακούγονται κατά καιρούς στη σειρά "10η Εντολή" του Alpha.

Μπορεί τα τραγούδια να μην είναι ελληνικά αλλά έχουν χώρο στο blog ως μουσική ενός ελληνικού σήριαλ.

Καλή ακρόαση

Anathema - A Natural Disaster

Placebo - My Sweet Prince


Woven Hand - The Speaking Hands


Στίχοι (του τελευταίου)
I long to be with
God on his mind and behind her laughter
Circle the block, come back and tell me
You took the words he painted by heart
Right out of my hand

Like the scrawl
We scratch the screen and all
Do as we want yes, we do as we want
As the fall
We taste the shame and all
We've never not, we've never not

What is the end of
My troubled mind
To embitter to sin
Provoke my soul
Come Christ within yeah

I don't have the courage
To carve my splinters out no
But I got a friend St. Steven
These pictures of us
Wood, hay and stubble
We as well are nothing but trouble

Like the scrawl
We scratch and scream and all
Do as we want, do as you want
Like the fall
We taste the shame and all
We've never not, we've never not

What is the end of
Your troubled mind
To embitter to sin
Provoke your soul
To Christ within
