Oráculo de musiquini (again): Cat Power-The Greatest

Outro álbum brilhante. Outro single viciante (carregar aqui para ouvir).

Chan Marshall ou Cat Power, não interessa. Doçura na voz. Melodias para fins de tarde preguiçosos e metidabundos. Pianadas de pop alternativo.

(Até lhe desculpo, com a GRANDEZA deste álbum, o atentado que fez com a Karen Elson à música do Serge Gainsbourg - o "Je t'aime... moi non plus"... Desde quando é que o encanto, chique e kinky, dos loucos anos 60's, do "Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens/Entre mes reins/Tu vas et tu viens/Entre mes reins" é minimamente sentido em "You come and you go, between me, you come and you go, between me"? And... excuse me... mas girl-with-girl é demasiado à frente. A música já é suficientemente provocatória. Hum...? Hum! Hum! Não era prexijo!)

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could stop me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned you to dust

Melt me down

To big black armour

Leave no trace

Of grace

Just in your honor

Lower me down

That corporate slob

Make a watch

For a space in town

For the lack of the dreds

Of my bed I've been sleeping

Lower me down

Pin me in

Secure the grounds

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

Two faced, sad little rock

When things I couldn't explain

Any feelings

Lower me down

Pin me in

Secure the grounds

For the lack of the drugs

My faith had been sleeping

For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or water fall could stop me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned you to dust
