A mistake, Fiona Apple

Lá se vão 10 anos que escuto incessantemente Fiona Apple. Contrariando a tudo e a todos ela continua sendo a minha voz favorita, a minha sonwriter favorita e eu espero que em 2011 a gente possa ver mais uma trabalho da cantora. Para comemorar o fato de que ela está para lançar um novo álbum aqui vai uma letra dela que pra variar, eu amo.

"A Mistake"

I'm gonna make a mistake
I'm gonna do it on purpose
I'm gonna waste my time
'Cause I'm full as a tick
And I'm scratching at the surface
And what I find is mine
And when the day is done, and I look back
And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around
All the advice I shunned, and I ran
Where they told me not to run, but I sure
Had fun, so
I'm gonna f*** it up again
I'm gonna do another detour
Unpave my path
And if you wanna make sense
Whatcha looking at me for
I'm no good at math
And when I find my way back,
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
I've acquired quite a taste
For a wellmade mistake
I wanna mistake why can't I make a mistake?
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why
Do I wanna do right, of course but
Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to
Answer you, hell no
I've acquired quite a taste
For a wellmade mistake, I wanna
Make a mistake, why can't I make a mistake
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why

Why try to change me now? - Fiona Apple


I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain

I've got some habits even I can't explain

Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain

But why try to change me now?


I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore

Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor

I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door

But why try to change me now?


Why can't I be more conventional?

People talk, people stare, so I try

But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see

My kind of crazy world go passing me by


So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown

You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down

Don't you remember I was always your clown?

Why try to change me now?

She took the words out of my mouth.

"Not About Love" - Fiona Apple

The early cars

Already are

Drawing deep breaths past my door

And last night's phrases

Sick with lack of basis

Are still writhing on my floor

And it doesn't seem fair

That your wicked words should work

In holding me down

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

Conversation once colored by esteem

Became duologue as a diagram of a play for blood

Took a vacation, my palate got clean

Now I could taste your agenda

While you're spitting your cud

And it doesn't make sense

I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown

No, it doesn't seem right

To take information

Given at close range

For the gag

And the bind

And the ammunition round

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact I can't stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

What is this posture

I have to stare at

That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight

Change the name of the game 'cause he lost

And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late

But I'm not being fair

'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth

But I'd like to choose right

Take all the things that I've said that he stole

Put 'em in a sack

Swing 'em over my shoulder

Turn on my heels

Step out of this sight

Try to live in a lovelier light

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in loveIn fact I cant stop falling out

This is not about love

'Cause I am not in love

In fact i cant stop falling out

I miss that stupid ache

Agora vem a musa.

Desde 2000 que as melodias e letras de Fiona Apple me encantam muito. Foi através da minha prima que fiquei sabendo da existência de uma compositora e cantora que compunha sobre tudo aquilo que eu sentia, só que 100000 vezes melhor do que eu jamais sonharia em saber. Hoje, 7, três discos e muitas espera depois eu só posso ficar sonhando com o dia que essa graciosa cantora ponha os pés em solo tupiniquim, ou que eu tenha condições de viajar pro exterior. Segue a letra de Waltz, composição do último álbum de Fiona, que não é o meu favorito mas é muito, muito bom também.

Waltz (Better Than Fine)
Fiona Apple

If you don't have a song

To sing you're okay

You know how to get along

Humming

Hmmm

If you don't have a date

Celebrate

Go out and sit on the lawn

And do nothing'cause it's just what you must do

Nobody does it anymore

No i don't believe in the wasting of time,

But i don't believe that i'm wasting mine

If you don't have a point to make

Don't sweat it

You'll make a sharp one being so kind

And i'd sure appreciate it

Everyone else's goal's to get big headed

Why should i follow that beat being that i'm

Better than fine
