Lost Without You

i was lost and nothing made any sense

i was tied to the fence

and i seen you

like a flower trying to grow

but still i don’t know

what really i should show oh, no

but i’m lost without you

yes, i’m lost without you

is there a cost attached to you

take your time

please don’t think too much

because i think too much

and it kills me like a needle to my bones

everybody knows, everybody knows, oh no

but i’m lost without you

yes i’m lost without you

is there a cost attached to you

yes i’m lost without you

yes i’m lost without you

"Lost Without You" Stephen Fretwell

Nick Cave

Far From Me

for you dear, i was born

for you i was raised up

for you i've lived and for you i will die

for you i am dying now

you were my mad little lover

in a world where everybody fucks everybody else over

you who are so far from me

far from me

so far from me

way across some cold neurotic sea

far from me

you told me you'd stick by me

through the thick and through the thin

those were your very words

my fair-weather friend

you were my brave-hearted lover

at the first taste of trouble went running back to mother

so far from me

far from me

suspended in your bleak and fishless sea

far from me

far from me

If You Knew

If you knew how I missed you
You would not stay away today
Don't you know I need you
Stay here my dear with me

I need you here my darling
Together for a day a day
Together never parting
Just you just me my love

I can't go on without you
Your love is all I'm living for
I love all things about you
Your heart your soul my love

I need you here beside me
Forever and a day a day
I know whatever betides me
I love you I love you I do

"If You Knew" Nina Simone

It Had To Be You

it had to be you

i wandered around and finally found

the somebody who

could make me be true

could make me be blue

or even be glad

just to be sad

thinking of you

some others i've seen

might never be mean

might never be cross

or try to be boss

but they wouldn't do

for nobody else gave me a thrill

with all your faults

i love you still

it had to be you, wonderful you

it had to be you

Leaving On A Jet Plane

all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go

i'm standin' here outside your door

i hate to wake you up to say goodbye

but the dawn is breakin', it's early morn

the taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn

already i'm so lonesome i could die

so kiss me and smile for me
tell me that you'll wait for me
hold me like you'll never let me go
'cause i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when i'll be back again
oh, babe, i hate to go

there's so many times i've let you down
so many times i've played around
i'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing
every place i go, i think of you
every song i sing, i sing for you

when i come back i'll wear your wedding ring

now the time has come to leave you
one more time, oh, let me kiss you
and close your eyes and i'll be on my way
dream about the days to come
when i won't have to leave alone
about the times that i won't have to say

and i'm leaving on a jet plane
i don't know when I'll be back again
oh, babe, i hate to go
but i'm leaving on a jet plane
leaving on a jet plane

Chet Baker

Let's Get Lost

Let's get lost, lost in each other's arms

Let's get lost, let them send out alarms

And though they'll think us rather rude

Let's tell the world we're in that crazy mood

Let's defrost, in a romantic mist

Let's get crossed, off everybody's list

To celebrate this night we found each other

Darling, let's get lost

Let's get lost in a romantic mist

Let's get crossed, off everybody's list

To celebrate this night we found each other

Darling, let's get lost

"Let's Get Lost" Chet Bake

Sviatoslav Richter

The Pianist

Sviatoslav Richter (Ucrânia, 1915/1997)

É considerado um dos maiores pianistas clássicos de todos os tempos.

Richter era um pianista virtuoso, ainda que nunca

tenha usado essa virtuosidade para outro fim

a não ser para manifestar a poesia essencial da música.

As suas interpretações eram soberbas e controladas,

e o seu repertório era muito amplo.

Variava de Bach e Haydn até Debussy e Shostakovich.

Richter tinha um espírito independente, preferia seguir

os seus instintos a aprender com outros pianistas e,

por isso, as suas interpretações são únicas.

No entanto, ele podia interpretar uma obra magnificamente bem

ou, segundo ele mesmo admitia, como um aluno medíocre.

A sua obsessão pela qualidade e perfeccionismo tornou-o

um crítico feroz, sobretudo dele mesmo.

My Skin

take a look at my body

look at my hands

there's so much here that

i don't understand

your face saving promises

whispered like prayers

i don't need them

cuz i've been treated so wrong

i've been treated so long

as if i'm becoming untouchable

well, contempt loves the silence

it thrives in the dark

the fine winding tendrils that

strangle the heartthey say that promises

sweeten the blow

but i don't need them

no i don't need them

i've been treated so wrong

i've been treated so long as

if i'm becoming untouchable

i'm a slow dying flower

in the frost killing hours

weet turning sourand untouchable

do you remember the way that

you touched me before

all the trembling sweetness

i loved and adored

your face saving promises

whispered like prayers

i don't need them

i need the darkness

the sweetness

the sadness

the weakness

oh, i need this

i need a lullabye

a kiss goodnight

angel, sweet love of my life

oh, i need this

well, is it dark enough

can you see me?

do you want me?

can you reach me?

or i'm leaving

you better shut your mouth

and hold your breath

you kiss me now

you catch your death

oh, i mean this
