I hope you’re feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you’re doin’ now
I wonder if you think of me at all
do you still play the same moves now
or are those special moods
for someone else
I hope you’re feeling happy now

just because you feel good
doesn’t make you right
just because you feel good
still want you here tonight

does laughter still discover you
I see through all the smiles
that look so right
do you still have the same friends now
to smoke away your problems and your life
oh how do you remember me
the one that made you laugh
until you cried
I hope you’re feeling happy now

just because you feel good doesn’t make you right
just because you feel good still want you here tonight

I wonder what you’re doing now
I hope you’re feeling happy now

I hope you’re feeling happy now

Toyasaki Aki & Hisaka Youko & Satou Satomi & Kotobuki Minako – “Don’t say lazy” (K-ON! Original Soundtrack)

Please don’t say “you are lazy”
Because you are actually crazy
Yes, swans swaddle
Where you can’t see it

I’m true to my instinct
I’m aware of trifles coming up
The future is bright,
So sometimes I take a break

If there’s a shortcut, it’s the proper way
It’s even better if there are wings for cheating

Crap/Shoot, I broke a nail!
I fixed it with glue
That alone gave me a sense of fulfillment
What’s important is to adore yourself
Someone who can’t love herself can’t love others either

Please don’t say “you are lazy”
Because you are actually crazy
Yes, smart hawks hide
Their picks inside the invisible mind

We work hard at imagining things
The art is a desperate act
But it’s still a work in progress
So I unexpectedly miss a pitch

I try to use my imagination,
but reality is a bitch
I’m still just learning,
So I’ll be out of pitch sometimes

*16/06/2010 – Edited the video since it was removed

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream

I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I can’t recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatshername has been

Seems like she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry oh, Whatshisface

I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I can’t recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatshername has been

Remember
Whatever
It seems like forever ago

Remember
Whatever
It seems like forever ago

And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I’ll never turn back time
Forgetting you but not the time

Green Day – Whatshername (American Idiot)

Pois é. O cd chegou na terça, mas como estava em Braga, apenas ontem quando cheguei o pude apreciar. É muito interessante. Tem uma sonoridade agradável, as músicas são originais e não é apenas o Greg com o seu beatbox, os outros elementos também “brincam” com os seus instrumentos, de forma melodiosa.

As músicas do álbum têm sequência, sempre no mesmo estilo e é muito agradável de ouvir. Ontem apenas o ouvi no carro e até aí, é interessante. (Estou certo ou estou errado Marlene?)

Bem, só posso dizer que foram uns euros bem gastos e duas semanas de espera que valeram bem a pena. Acho até que vou começar a “cuscar” mais o cd-baby.com para encontrar mais pérolas destas.

SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO

Oh yeeeeeaaaaah

Wooh!

Darling you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I’ll be here ’til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day is fine, next day is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An’ if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know!

This indecision’s bugging me
(Esta indecision me molesta)
If you don’t want me, set me free
(Si no me quieres, librame)
Exactly who’m I’m supposed to be
(Dime que tengo que ser)
Don’t you know which clothes even fit me?
(¿sabes que ropas me quedan? )
Come on and let me know
(Me tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I blow?
(¿me debo ir o quedarme?)

Split!
(Yo me enfrio o lo sufro)

Should I stay or should I go now?
(yo me enfrio o lo sufro)
Should I stay or should I go now?
(yo me enfrio o lo sufro)
If I go there will be trouble
(Si me voy – va a haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double
(Si me quedo es doble)
So you gotta let me know
(Pero me tienes que decir)
Should I cool it or should I go?
(yo me enfrio o lo sufro)

Should I stay or should I go now?
(yo me enfrio o lo sufro)
If I go there will be trouble
(Si me voy – va a haber peligro)
And if I stay it will be double
(Si me quedo es doble)
So you gotta let me know
(Pero me tienes que decir)
Should I stay or should I go?

(Maybe I shouldn’t)

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party

Este foi o email mais divertido que recebi nos últimos tempos… E tudo para confirmar o envio do cd de PROJECT.
Quase dá para pensar se é mesmo uma empresa séria…

Para já, deixo-vos dois vídeos, um apenas do Greg a tocar o tema do Inspector Gadget:

E outro do PROJECT a tocar “Sweet Pea”:

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you’re chewing on life’s gristle
Don’t grumble, give a whistle
And this’ll help things turn out for the best…

And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…

If life seems jolly rotten
There’s something you’ve forgotten
And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you’re feeling in the dumps
Don’t be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle – that’s the thing.

And…always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the light side of life…

For life is quite absurd
And death’s the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin – give the audience a grin
Enjoy it – it’s your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life’s a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life’s a laugh and death’s a joke, it’s true.
You’ll see it’s all a show
Keep ‘em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the right side of life…
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life…
Always look on the bright side of life…
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life…
(I mean – what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing – you’re going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life…

Pois é, não houve passeio, mas podes ter a certeza que vai haver… E, espero que muitos.

O seu crime ocorreu no final de um concerto, quando o músico tropeçou e caiu sobre o seu violino.

Ora bem, o instrumento era nada mais, nada menos que um Stradivarius com 290 anos, tão raro que é quase impossível estimar o seu valor. No entanto, é possível recuperar o violino não ficando a reparação por menos de £60,000 e um tempo de paragem de cerca de 8 meses. Para piorar ainda mais, poderá nunca mais voltar a soar da forma como quando Antonio Stradivari o criou.
