Μικροπράγματα
Φαντάζομαι πως όταν χώρισε, ο Βαγγέλης άρχισε να προσέχει με τρόπο διαφορετικό τους στίχους των τραγουδιών.
Κι έτσι αποφάσισε να γράψει για τη στήλη μας μια λίστα με τα κομμάτια που τον άγγιξαν/βοήθησαν/συγκίνησαν πιο πολύ τις εβδομάδες μετά το χωρισμό.
Τώρα παρουσιάζουμε τα ξένα, μαζί με τα σχόλιά του…
Τραγούδια για τον χωρισμό και για μοναχικές ψυχές
1.Led Zeppelin – Since I’ve Been Loving You
Led Zeppelin – Since I’ve Been Loving You Live (HD)
From The Live-DVD The Song Remains The Same
Το αγαπημένο μου μπλουζ κομμάτι και από τα καλύτερα των Led Zeppelin
Said I’ve been crying, yeah
Oh, my tears they fell like rain
Don’t you hear them, don’t you hear them falling?
Don’t you hear them, don’t you hear them falling?
2.Tom Waits – Make It Rain
Tom Waits – Make It Rain (Letterman 09.09.04)
No Description
Υπέροχη ζωντανή εκτέλεση, με μία σπουδαία μπάντα να συνοδεύει τον Tom Waits στα καλύτερά του
Since you’re gone
Deep inside it hurts
I’m just another sad guest
On this dark earth
I want to believe I
n the mercy of the world again
Make it rain, make it rain!
3.Placebo – Running Up That Hill
Placebo – Running Up That Hill (Official Music Video)
Official video for the single “Running Up That Hill” (originally by Kate Bush) by PlaceboSUBSCRIBE: http://smarturl.it/SubscribePlacebo “Running Up That Hill…
Διασκευή του κομματιού της Kate Bush από τους Placebo. Φαν του συγκροτήματος μαγνητοσκόπησαν τους εαυτούς τους να «ερμηνεύουν» το τραγούδι και κάπως έτσι φτιάχτηκε το βίντεο.
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
4.Nick Cave & Barry Adamson – The Sweetest Embrace
Nick Cave Barry Adamson The Sweetest Embrace
No Description
Η φωνή του Nick Cave να τραγουδά αυτούς τους θαυμάσιους στίχους:
Our time is done my love
We’ve laid it all to waste
One thousand moonlit kisses can’t
Sweeten this bitter taste
My desire for you is endless
And I’ll love you ’til we fall
I just don’t want you no more
And that’s the sweetest embrace of all
So lay your weapons down
They serve no purpose in your hands
It’s over babe
And it really is a shame
We are losers you and me babe
In a rigged and crooked game
5.Spiritualized – Broken Heart
Spiritualized – Broken Heart
No Description
Το 1997, μία σπουδαία χρονιά για τη δισκογραφία, οι Spiritualized έβγαλαν έναν δίσκο με εξώφυλλο που παρέπεμπε σε συσκευασία φαρμάκου. Από εκεί, ένα από τα πιο δυνατά «χάπια» είναι το παρακάτω:
Though I have a broken heart
I’m too busy to be heartbroken
There’s a lot of things that need to be done
Lord I have a broken heart
And I’m wasted all the time
I’ve gotta drink you right off of my mind
I’ve been told that this will heal given time
Lord I have a broken heart
6.Low – Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
Low – Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
Low (band) – Wikipedia
Low (stylized as LOW ) is an American indie rock band from Duluth, Minnesota, formed in 1993. The group is composed of founding members Alan Sparhawk (guitar and vocals) and Mimi Parker (drums and vocals).
Ένα συγκρότημα από μια σχετικά μικρή και άγνωστη πόλη των ΗΠΑ, το Duluth της Minnesota, διασκευάζει το τραγούδι ενός από τα μεγαλύτερα βρετανικά συγκροτήματα της δεκαετίας του’80 και συγκεκριμένα της σκηνής του Manchester. Αυτό είναι το αποτέλεσμα:
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
(και η πρωτότυπη εκτέλεση)
The Smiths – Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me

7.The Smiths – I Know It’s Over
“I Know Its Over” The Smiths Music Video
Song by the Smiths. Video directed and edited by Joe Insana, class of 2014.
Δε θα μπορούσε να λείπει και ένα τραγούδι με την ίδια τη φωνή του Morrissey ο οποίος τραγούδησε με μοναδικό τρόπο τους υπέροχους στίχους που έγραψε για τον πόνο του χωρισμού και τη μοναξιά:
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said
I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Oh…
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
Though she needs you more than she loves you
And I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la…
I know it’s over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said:
“If you’re so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you’re so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you’re so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you’re so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know…
Cause tonight is just like any other night
That’s why you’re on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they’re in each other’s arms…”
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
(και μία ακόμη διασκευή από μία άλλη μεγάλη φωνή)
8.Jeff Buckley – I Know It’s Over

9.Blur – No Distance Left To Run
Blur – No Distance Left To Run (Official Music Video)
The official music video for Blur – No Distance Left To Run Taken from Blur’s 6th studio album ’13’ released in 1999, which featured the hit singles ‘Tender…
Όπως λέει ο Damon Albarn στο τέλος του βίντεο-κλιπ αυτό το τραγούδι είναι μια προειδοποίηση κι ενός τύπου ευγενική υπενθύμιση:
It’s over
You don’t need to tell me
I hope you’re with someone who makes you
Feel safe in your sleeping tonight
I won’t kill myself, trying to stay in your life
I got no distance left to run
10.The Cure – Disintegration
Disintegration–The Cure (with lyrics)
Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Presenting a non-live version of this epic song complete with onscreen lyrics. So here you go! I OWN N…
Ο Robert Smith με τους Cure στο Disintegration από τον ομώνυμο δίσκο τους (disintegration = αποσύνθεση, αποικοδόμηση, διάλυση, διάσπαση, χωρισμός):
I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew how the end always is
How the end always is
11.Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2 U

Ένα πολύ όμορφο τραγούδι, γραμμένο από τον Prince, με τη Sinead O’Connor να το απογειώνει και να δακρύζει αληθινά στο βίντεο-κλιπ:
All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard
All died when you went away

Than wrap yourself in something warm

Come on home to me
13.AC/DC – Ride on
AC/DC – Ride On (Stade De France, Paris, June 2001)
“Ride On” by AC/DC live from the Stade De FranceListen to AC/DC: https://ACDC.lnk.to/listen_YDSubscribe to the official AC/DC YouTube channel: https://ACDC.l…
Το μοναδικό κομμάτι των AC/DC με τόσο αργό ρυθμό και με τον Bon Scott στα φωνητικά να τραγουδά για άδεια μπουκάλια, άδεια κρεβάτια, άδεια κεφάλια και εισιτήρια χωρίς επιστροφή προς τη λάθος κατεύθυνση:
It’s another lonely evening
In another lonely town
But I ain’t too young to worry
And I ain’t too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain’t too young to admit it
And I’m not too old to lie
I’m just another empty head
That’s why I’m lonely
I’m so lonely
But I know what I’m going to do…
I’m going to ride on
14.Black Sabbath – She’s Gone
Black Sabbath – She’s Gone
BLACK SABBATH “Technical Ecstasy” (1976)
Κι ακόμη ένα κομμάτι που δεν περιμένεις από ένα συγκρότημα με το όνομα Black Sabbath:
The endless hours of heartache, awaiting for you
My summer love has turned to rain, all the pain
The silent emptiness of one sided love
My life means nothing now you’re gone, ooh my baby
15.Chromatics – Baby
Chromatics – “Baby”
song: “Baby” by Chromaticsvideo filmed and edited by Fox Tooth Films
Ένα τραγούδι που άκουγα παλιά στο ραδιόφωνο και κάθε φορά με καθήλωνε.
Baby, you’re crying yourself to sleep again
Baby, you’re giving it all away
Baby, this is the way it ends tonight
Baby, we all die alone
16.Beyoncé – I’d Rather Go Blind
Cadillac Records – I’d Rather Go Blind
No Description
Οπωσδήποτε, όπως είπε κι ένας αγαπημένος μου φίλος, δε θα μπορούσε να λείπει και μια «μαύρη» φωνή από αυτή τη συλλογή. Η Beyoncé διασκευάζει μοναδικά το κομμάτι της Etta James για την ταινία Cadillac Records.
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in a glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed these tears that are all on my face, woo, ooh
And, baby, and, baby, baby,
I’d rather be blind, boy,
Than to see you walk away,
Walk away from me, yeah
17.João Gilberto – Chega De Saudade
João Gilberto – Chega De Saudade
Vai minha tristezaE diz a ela que sem ela não pode serDiz-lhe numa preceQue ela regressePorque eu não posso mais sofrerChega de saudadeA realidade é que sem …
Όπως μόνο οι Βραζιλιάνοι ξέρουν να μιλάνε για τη μελαγχολία και τη νοσταλγία:
Vai minha tristeza E diz a ela
Que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece que ela regresse
Porque eu não posso mais sofrer
Chega de saudade, a realidade é que sem ela
Não há paz, não há beleza, é só tristeza
E a melancolia que não sai de mim, não sai de mim, não sai
18.Joaquín Sabina – Nos sobran los motivos
Joaquín Sabina – Nos Sobran los Motivos (Actuación Directo)
Music video by Joaquin Sabina performing Nos Sobran los Motivos. (C) 2006 SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT SPAIN, S.L.http://vevo.ly/nNMZTn
«Κλειστόν λόγω κατεδάφισης» τραγουδά ένας Ισπανός που γεννήθηκε στην Ανδαλουσία αλλά ζει χρόνια στη Μαδρίτη. Αναφέρεται στην καρδιά του, φυσικά:
No abuses de mi inspiración,
no acuses a mi corazón
tan maltrecho y ajado
q está cerrado por derribo
Por las arrugas de mi voz
se filtra la desolación
de saber que éstos son
los últimos versos que te escribo,
para decir “con Dios” a los dos
nos sobran los motivos
