goodbye and hello - tim buckley (1967)


entrelace-se psicadelia, folk e poesia... ressaca sgt. peppers... e eis goodbye and hello, para muitos o documento definitivo de tim buckley...

as colagens sonoras que há 40 anos eram inovadoras e apontavam o céu como limite para a música popular, soam hoje datadas e constituem o único aspecto mais fraco de um álbum que roça a perfeição. sem grandes alaridos, uma guitarra e aquela voz (esqueça-se as tais colagens sonoras psicadélicas...) com acompanhamento esparso, levam-me a questionar: afinal é o tim que é pai do jeff ou é o jeff que é filho do tim?

e depois, por entre baladas folk, devaneios psicadélicos e canções de protesto, lá bem no meio, há isto:

once i was a soldier
and i fought on foreign sands for you
once i was a hunter
and i brought home fresh meat for you
once i was a lover
and i searched behind your eyes for you
and soon there'll be another
to tell you i was just a lie

and sometimes i wonder
just for a while
will you ever remember me

and though you have forgotten
all of our rubbish dreams
i find myself searching
through the ashes of our ruins
for the days when we smiled
and the hours that ran wild
with the magic of our eyes
and the silence of our words

and sometimes i wonder
just for a while
will you ever remember me


e eu fico sem palavras... foda-se...

enquanto ele foi muito, houve outros que muito quiseram ser..
olha lá esta letra do sr. Nick Drake:

"One of these things first"

I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook
A real live lover, could have been a book.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be
Here and now
I would be, I should be
But how?
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

I could have been your pillar, could have been your door
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
A whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours so true
I would be, I should be through and through
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute
A real live giver, could have been a boot.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock
As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be even here
I would be, I should be so near
I could have been
One of these things first
I could have been
One of these things first.

"and soon there'll be another
to tell you i was just a lie". Axo k isto é o tipo de coisa que se dissermos a alguém k está a terminar uma relação connosco ela arrepende-se nesse mesmo momento e volta imediatamente para nós :)
