Hoje chegou aqui ao correio um e-mail a dizer que estou entre os finalistas do International Songwriting Competition 2009 (ISC) com a minha cantiga "Choose Love" na categoria de Folk/Singer-Songwriter. Estou contente, acima de tudo, porque no júri está o meu adorado Tom Waits e a senhora Loretta Lynn, é bonito! Se vos apetecer podem votar no outro prémio (People's Choice) até 31 de Março em http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/PVWelcome2009.htm

Young Bride

2009-09-28T19:44:00.002Z

My young bride
Why are your shoulders like that?
Of a tired old woman
Like a tired old woman

My young bride
Why are your fingers like that?
Of the hedge in winter
Of the hedge in winter

Polonaise in winter
Snowshoes and hunters
Carried the goods in for you

My young bride
Why aren't you moving at all?
Helps to make the day seem shorter
Helps to make the day seem shorter

My young bride
Why aren't you keeping with you
All the ones who really love you?
All the ones who really love you?

Darkness and forests
Grant you the longest
Face made for porridge and stew

Boy Child

2009-06-17T10:00:00.000Z

You'll lose your way
A boy child rides upon your back
Take him away
Through mirrors dark and blessed with cracks
Through forgotten courtyards
Where you used to search for youth
Old gets a new life
Reach out you can touch it's true
He's not a shadow of shadows
Like you, you see
Hearts hold on holding
If you stay one, you'll stay free
Go seek the lady
Who will give, not take away
Naked with stillness
On the edge of dawn she stays
Night starts to empty
That's when her song begins
She'll make you happy
She'll take you deep within her
Window lights for wanderers
Hide hard in your swollen eyes
Echoes of laughter
Hide in the cities thighs
Love catch these fragments
Swirling through the winds of night
What can it cost
To give a boy child back his sight
Extensions through dimensions
Leave you feeling cold and lame
Boy child mustn't tremble
'cos he came without a name

"As ideias são como peixes.
Se quisermos capturar peixes pequenos, podemos ficar pelas águas pouco profundas. Mas, se quisermos capturar os peixes grandes, temos de ir mais fundo.
Lá no fundo, os peixes são mais poderosos e mais puros. São enormes e abstractos. E são muito bonitos."

Jealous Guy

2009-01-24T20:35:00.000-01:00

I was dreaming of the past.
And my heart was beating fast,
I began to lose control,
I began to lose control,

I didn't mean to hurt you,
I'm sorry that I mad you cry,
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy,

I was feeling insecure,
You might not love me any more,

I was shivering inside,
I was shivering inside,

I was trying to catch your eyes,
Thought that you were trying to hide,
I was swallowing my pain,
I was swallowing my pain.

Deep Water

2009-01-10T20:52:00.001-01:00

I'm drifting in deep water
Alone with my self-doubting, again
Try not to struggle this time
For I will weather the storm

Gotta remember
Don't fight it
Even if I
Don't like it

Somehow, turn me around

No matter how far I drift
Deep waters
Won't scare me tonight

You've been so long
Your blind eyes are gone
Your old bones are on their own
So take off your coat
Put a song in your throat
Let the dead-beats pound all around

We will go
Nowhere we know
We don't have to talk at all
Hand me downs
Flypaper towns
Stuck together
One and all

The bargains you drive
Buckets and bags
And all your belongings
Your train's in the sand
Ramshackle land
Let the rats watch the races

Praises get spent
Your trick face is bent
Pigsties and prizes
'Cause there's no kind of well
You're suiting yourself
You leave yourself behind

We will go
Nowhere we know
'Til we find our one and all
Your hand me downs
Flypaper towns
Stuck together

The Lifting

2008-11-29T22:05:00.001-01:00

Grounded, 5 A.M.
The nitelite is comforting,
But gravity is holding you.

Once settled into sleep
You have watched, on repeat,
The story of your life
Across the ceiling;
And in review,

You've said the air was singing
It's calling you, you don't believe
These things you've never seen

"Good morning, and how are you?
The weather's fine, the sky is blue -
It's perfect for our seminar..."

"Now close your eyes,
And start to breathe.
Allow the noise to recede...
...Allow yourself to drift and fly away."
But you just stay.

Did you hear these voices calling

Locked into the conference room,
"We're only what our minds assume..."
And rationale is leaving you.

This conceit, these systems of belief,
Your counselor agrees,
"You've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..."
And with relief.

Never, never, never.

Once you had a dream
Of oceans, and sunken cities;
Memories of things you've never known
And you have never known.

Forever Young

2008-10-21T00:02:00.000Z

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

You Don't Understand Me

2008-10-20T09:21:00.002Z

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And why do you feel the need to tease me
Why don't you turn it around
It might be easier to please me

And there's always another point of view
A better way to do the things we do
And how can you know me
And I know you
If nothing is true

Why do you think that you are doing
But who is the fool, the fool or the fool
that you are fooling
And maybe I just don't see the reason
But in the corner of my heart your ignorance is treason

You think you know how I feel
Its not that big of a deal
There's no such thing its not real

You don't understand me
But if the feeling was right
You might comprehend me
And I don't claim to understand you
But I've been looking around
And I haven't found anybody like you

Keep You Happy

2008-10-07T23:39:00.002Z

The sky is turning and longing for something far away
The moon’s a tear drop, see slowly as it falls away
Miles running down a face,
Everything’s bound to change,
It’s bound to change

Day breaks of tenderness,
So hold me here like this,
So still and quiet as if it might
Keep you happy

A feeling has me and tells me it will never stay
Your heart beats miles now, I feel them as they fly away
Close gets so far away,
Close gets so far

Day breaks of loneliness.
I’d weather all of this
If I could find a place where I’d
Keep you happy

Why do we pretend there is something to hold onto?
See how my world fell in, I was trying to hold you, I was just trying to hold you

Night is a gypsy who tells me he will never stay.
Miles are like heart beats, I know them as they fly away
See how they fly away,
See how they fly

Day breaks of restlessness, I'm filed with all of this
But deep inside what will I find to keep me happy
Oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy, oh, keep me happy

We Gathered in Spring

2008-09-29T09:20:00.001Z

I'm tired of being here
On this hill
No-one lives to be three hundered years
Like the way it used to be

I think they were giants
I think they were giants

On this hill, nothing grows except greed
You will stay to finish your work
As long as need be
As long as need be

Whenever you're near

Make It Easy On Yourself

2008-09-21T21:38:00.000Z

Oh, breaking up is so very hard to do
If you really love him, and there's nothing I can do
Don't try to spare my feelings, just tell me that we're through
And make it easy on yourself
Make it easy on yourself
Cause breaking up is so very hard to do
And if the way I hold you, can't compare to his caress
No words of concilation will make me miss you less
My darling if this is goodbye, I just know I'm gonna cry
So run to him, before you start crying too

Oh, baby, it's so hard to do

2008-08-17T17:41:00.001Z

You lead me down, to the ocean
So lead me down, by the ocean
You know it's been a long time,
You always leave me tongue tied
And all this times for us
I love you just because
You lead me down, to the ocean
The world is fine, by the ocean
You know this time's for real
It helps the heart to heal
You know it breaks the seal of the talisman that harms
And so you look at me and need
The space that means as much to me
So lead me down, to the ocean
Our world is fine, by the ocean
You know the way it is in life, it's so hard to live up to
So why are you still dressed in your mourning suit
I assume, I assume
You'll lead me down, to the ocean
Don't leave me down, by the ocean
The ocean.
Here comes the wave, here comes the wave
Here comes the wave, down by the ocean

Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
Blue moon,
You knew just what I was there for.
You heard me saying a pray for
Someone I really could care for.
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone,
Without a dream in my heart,
Without a love of my own.
Blue moon...
Without a love of my own.

Say you were split, you were split in fragments
And none of the pieces would talk to you
Wouldn't you want to be who you had been
Well baby I want that too

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheros
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

Baby, I bet you've been more than patience
Saying it's not a catastrophe
But I'm not the girl you once put your faith in
Just someone who looks like me

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheros
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

So get out while you can
Get out while you can
Baby I'm pouring quick sand
And sinking is all I have planned
So better just go

Oh, better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheros
Wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put baby together again
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put baby together again

Not Dark Yet

2008-05-25T14:18:00.000Z

Shadows are falling and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writing what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

Well, I've been to London and I've been to gay Paree
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies
I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden seems more than I can bear
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Every nerve in my body is so vacant and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
