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"!

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

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
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
