MY OLDIES

VINCENT
( Don Mclean )

Starry, starry night 
Paint your palette blue and gray 
Look out on a summer's day 
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul 
Shadows on the hills 
Sketch the trees and the daffodils 
Catch the breeze and the winter chills 
In colors on the snowy linen land 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me 
How you suffered for your sanity 
How you tried to set them free 
They would not listen, they did not know how 
Perhaps they'll listen now 

Starry, starry night 
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze 
Swirling clouds in violet haze 
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue 
Colors changing hue 
Morning fields of amber grain 
Weathered faces lined in pain 
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand 

Now I understand what you tried to say to me 
How you suffered for your sanity 
How you tried to set them free 
They would not listen, they did not know how 
Perhaps they'll listen now 

For they could not love you 
But still your love was true 
And when no hope was left in sight 
On that starry, starry night 
You took your life as lovers often do 
But I could have told you, Vincent 
This world was never meant 
For one as beautiful as you 

Starry, starry night 
Portraits hung in empty halls 
Frameless heads on nameless walls 
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget 
Like the strangers that you've met 
The ragged men in ragged clothes 
A silver thorn, a bloody rose 
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow 

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me 
How you suffered for your sanity 
How you tried to set them free 
They would not listen, they're not listening still 
Perhaps they never will

Whoever You Are I Love You 3:56
( Burt Bacharach / Hal David )

Sometimes your eyes look blue to me,
Although I know they're really green.
I seem to see you differently;
Changing as I'm treated kindly,
or treated meanly.
From moment to moment
you're two different people,
Faithful and warm, when I'm in your arms,
And then, when you leave,
You're so untrue.
But...
However you are,
Deep down whatever you are,
Whoever you are, I love you.
Sometimes, I feel you're mine alone,
And yet I'm sure it's just not so.
I get this feeling on my own; 
After I learn if you're staying,
or if you're going.
From moment to moment
You're two different people,
Someone I know as the girl I love,
Or the girl I wish
I never knew.
But...
However you are,
Deep down whatever you are,
Whoever you are, I love you...
Sometimes your eyes look blue to me...

WHOEVER YOU ARE, I LOVE YOU

Sting - Fields Of Gold

Aos poucos vou subindo minhas coisas. Esse Medley foi feito nos estúdios Nas Nuvens a muitos anos atrás e saiu no Single da WEA. De um lado Dead Man's Party e do outro o medlley.

Oingo Boingo Medley

Bruno Mars - Again

Sting - Fields of Gold

I know that almost everybody has done this cover of Patience & Prudence "Tonight You Belong To Me", but I just couldn't help it! I LOVE THIS SONG! And I've been hearing this song over and over in my head since I started watching Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story. 

I was really in the mood of making an a capella cover version (never done it to any song before) so here it is, Tonight You Belong To Me. All recorded and mixed using GarageBand on my iPad. Enjoy:)) x
