DAVID FONSECA: ANGEL SONG

DAVID FONSECA is one of the most interesting portuguese artist. Singer, songwriter and Multi-instrumentalist, Fonseca has recorded several succesful albums but we have chosen ANGEL SONG, the first music he wrote, composed when he was only 18 and which was included in "Silence 4" (1998) his first album. This song is a fetish for the people who go to Fonseca´s Concerts. He always have to sing it. It is a Precious song.

LYRICS

This is me with another nervous breakdown

My pressure dropped, this body went with it

Memory fails, I'm feeling claustrophobic

I scream my silent pain in this big plain

There's no one here

Tell me who is there now

Who is there with you

I'm taking no calls unless it's her voice

I'm seeing no one unless it's her

I open the mailbox every hour

Maybe I'll hit the postman

I want to hear some love words

But not it that dyslexic voice

No I won't tear apart for you

But I was given no choice

I guess I was trying to keep me alive

But once I was dead there was nothing to do beside

Picking me up and lying me down

Waiting for some angel

To wake me and say to me

"Hello. Don't be scared. I want you to know, you're

not dead."

Kiss me, is this a dream?

Should I believe it?

Please promise to me that I'm not going to get hurt

this time.

Am I too good for you, am I just paranoid?

Should I clinical ou should I speak louder?

Maybe I should close my eyes for years

And wait for the strongest feeling

Out of all of the feelings

to raise

from

you.

Am I real? Are you real? Is this real? What's real?

Am I real? Are you real? Is this real?

Tell me, what's real?

THE GIFT: MUSIC.

THE GIFT is a portuguese alternative synth Pop band. Formed by Sónia Tavares, Nuno Gonçalves, John Gonçalves y Miguel Ribeiro. They have published five albums to date. We have Chosen MUSIC from  Album AM-FM (2004) because we like its surround sound and sónia's distinctive voice full of nuances, especially in the low tones. The video for the song mixed religious icons and homoerotic images with a visually beautiful result.

LYRICS

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

and I try

I try to be the only one with this melody in my head,

but I think I hear this song somewhere.

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

And I think I hear this song

And I think I hear this song somewhere...

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me,

I’m doing this for love,

I guess I’m doing it for everyone around me.

I’m doing it for music,

I’m doing it for love,

I’m doing it for everyone around me...

LYRICS

Fui bailar no meu batel

Além no mar cruel

E o mar bramindo

Diz que eu fui roubar

A luz sem par

Do teu olhar tão lindo

Vem saber se o mar terá razão

Vem cá ver bailar meu coração

Se eu bailar no meu batel

Não vou ao mar cruel

E nem lhe digo aonde eu fui cantar

Sorrir, bailar, viver, sonhar...contigo

CANÇAO DO MAR COVERED BY DULCE PONTES
