Namárië (Quenia)
NAMÁRIË, with Tolkien’s translation interspersed (most lines translate the Quenya text above them, but in some cases the lines cannot be matched perfectly with the translation, since the word order is not the same): Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen, Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron! long […]

Phoenix – Nebunul cu ochii închiși (varianta ’60)
Un cantec de demult… cu Bordeianu voce la Phoenix, iar ei tineri si frumosi… si fara cantafabule. Un cantec care a deschis portile sufletelor noastre pentru formatia cei din Phoenix. Care au intrat cantand in sufletul nostru… si nu l-au mai parasit
Beatles – Yesterday
Yesterday a fost lansat pe albumul Beatles Help, in 1966. Primit foarte bine inca de la inceput, a devenit pentru multi o emplema Beatles, fiind probabil cantecul cu cele mai multe cover-uri din istoria muzicii moderne. Atat specialistii cat si publicul l-au considerat (nu o data) drept unul dintre cele mai bune cantece pop a […]
REM – Everybody Hurts
Dupa mine este nu cea mai buna piesa a celor de la REM dar, foarte probabil, cea mai trista. Pacat ca dupa albumul din care face parte (Automatic for the People, 1992) cantecele lor au devenit din ce in ce mai comerciale… Interesant faptul ca aranjamentul de coarde a fost scris de catre basistului Led Zeppelin, […]

Esenin – I’m not begging…
citind un articol de pe Vuvuzela in care era inclusa o melodie slava mi-am adus aminte de aceasta bucata extraordinara (muzica + poezie) care pune in valoare versurile lui Esenin prin sunet si imagini… Nu este recomandat sa vizualizati clipul daca sunteti in pasa proasta… Nu regret, nu ma jelesc, nu strig, Toate trec ca […]
Bob Dylan – Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door
poate ca unii vor zice ca exista coveruri care suna mai bina decat originalul piesei Knockin On Heavens Door dar mie imi place trsitetea care emana din vocea ragusita a lui Bob Dylan… se asorteaza perfect cu versurile melodiei. versiunea postata este cu acompaniament vocal de sustinere, dar mentine chitara ca unic instrument folosit, asa […]
Léo Ferré – La vie d’artiste
prima melodie a lui Léo Ferré pe care am ascultat-o, la inceputul anilor 80, pe un casetofon obosit si ragusit. Mi-au trebuit 2o de ani ca sa o regasesc dar era la fel de tandra in tristetea ei ca si pentru prima oara cand m-a izbit in fata. Eram mai batran, nu eram mai intelept. […]
Léo Ferré – La Solitude
poate ca este doar ceea ce englezii ar numi „bad mood”… dar in aceasta zi cred ca inteleg ce vrea sa insemne viata scursa intre tipatul primei clipe de viata si oftatul celei din urma… Un prea scurt intermezzo la capatul caruia, pe piatra noastra de mormant ar putea sa se scrie „Je suis d’une […]
Simon si Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water
