Chorando na vala

Não consigo parar de escutar Transfiguration of Vincent, do M. Ward. Nem hesito em afirmar que se trata de um dos dez melhores discos que já escutei na vida. Arranjos muito bem elaborados, respeitando aquele tênue limite que transforma a virtude em palhaçada, letras comoventes e uma voz de chorar no cantinho.

Os outros dele que escutei, End of Amnesia e Radio Transistor, também são excelentes, mas Transfiguration eu escuto no mínimo uma vez por dia. E isso já faz uns dezoito meses, mais ou menos. Uma das minhas favoritas, atualmente, é Fools says. Genial. Genial. Confere aí.

Fools says

Hey, I ain't never met anyone like you before
I ain't never met anyone like you before
I thought all the good ones were gone
You're here to tell me I was wrong

Hey, you ain't never met a fool like me before
You ain't never met a fool like me before
They told you all romantic fools had died
I'm here to tell you that they lied

You can't be always right my friend,
Come on and tell me I got it wrong again!

Hey, I ain't never seen anything like this before
I ain't never seen anything like this before
I thought all the mystery was gone
You're here to tell me I was wrong

You can't be always right my friend
Come on and tell me I got it wrong again

Hey, you ain't never met a fool like me before
You ain't never met a fool like me before
They told you all romantic fools had died
I'm here to tell you that they lied
