Acordando neste domingo de manhã, qual não é minha supresa ao constatar que seu post é justamente sobre ele, o trovador dos corações solitários modernos, a voz chorosa do bêbado em algum beco de Nova York, a angústia destilada que alguém bebe dentro de uma dose de Jack Daniel´s: Jeff Buckley. Normalmente sou apenas observador das discussões de vocês, mas dessa vez não pude me furtar a fazer um breve comentário. Jeff é o cara. Puta merda. Veio do nada, filho de um tal de Tim Buckley, que era igualmente cantor e desesperado, rasgou uns ouvidos com a faca da agonia e sumiu dentro de um rio gelado, deixando uma pequena porém valiosa obra. Coloco abaixo aquela que é uma de minhas músicas preferidas, e que certamente disputa o top 5 das músicas mais melancólicas de todos os tempos:

LOVER, YOU SHOULD´VE COME OVER

Jeff Buckley

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so (you'll never know)

I'm broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one...

So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return, oh, or will I ever learn
Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you withhim
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I sleep so soft against her...
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soulforever

Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
Oh... Lover, you should've come over...
'Cause it's not too late...



Baixem a canção. Sintam a dor. Chorem comigo, vamos lá! \o/
