Love, oh love, oh careless love.
 In your clutches of desire
 you've made me break a many true vow,
 then you set my very soul on fire.

Musikempfehlung

Die 2001 um Dan Auerbach, Gitarre sowie Gesang, und Patrick Carney, Schlagzeug, gegründete Band The Black Keys fesselt als Bluesrock-Duo mit Low Fidelity Klang jeden Hörer binnen weniger Sekunden.

Patrick Carney (l.) und Dan Auerbach (r.)

Funk im Blut Carneys verleihen seinen Schlagzeugeinsätzen eine federnde Ausdruckskraft, gleichzeitig gelingt es Auerbach mit ideal abgestimmten und sonderlich weichen Falsettos ihre Texte zu schier aphoristischen Epigrammen zu formen, was den außergewöhnlichen Sound der dreifachen Grammy Gewinner so prägnant macht.
The Black Keys wurden lange Zeit in der Musikszene als Geheimtipp gehandelt, jedoch sind sie seit der Veröffentlichung ihres Hitalbums Brothers, 2010, nicht mehr unter Verschluss zu halten: 1.5 Millionen verkaufte Kopien weltweit, bislang das kommerziell erfolgreichste Album ihrer Diskografie, und 5 Grammy Nominierungen zeichnen den wohlverdienten Erfolg des Duos aus. Ihre Songs tragen die Kennzeichen guter Popmusik - brillante Hooks, tief greifende Refrains, ein unwiderstehlicher Fluss - bleiben jedoch so authentisch wie die Band selbst. Diese Greifbarkeit ist auch in ihrem neuen Album El Camino zu spüren, ein weiteres gehaltvolles Werk dieser passionierten Musiker, schlaksig wie bärtig. Hörenswert.

you don't know how hearts burn

for love that cannot live yet never dies.

So what's the use of falling in love?

Lyrics Of the Moment

Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold, she took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein showing no mercy I do it again,
Open up your eye, you keep on crying baby, I'll bleed you dry
Skies they blink at me, I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

You shimmy shook my bone, leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me? Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep?
Feel so good but I'm old, 2000 years of chasing's taking its toll

And it's coming closer
  

KINGS OF LEON - CLOSER 

Daggers - Jealousy

Deep blue eyes they discover me,

They're taking too much time to discover me,

And you moved on and lined through reality,

Taking the distant lies for recovery.

They put tradition on you,

You put conditions on me,

You're so suspicious you make me worry,

I'm just a visitor here,

There's nothing sinister here,

It's just too loud to say I'm sorry.

You set me up for the last time, don't you know,

That I could never apologize,

You knock me over for the last time, don't you know,

You'll never make me apologize.

I don't want to say what you already know,

'Cause you know, yeah you know,

Jealousy is killing me, it's making me old,

I'm not old, I'm not old,

Jealousy

You keep looking out, you keep looking up

Jealousy

Lyrics of the moment

Time waits for no one,
so do you want to waste some time, oh tonight?
Don't be afraid of tomorrow,
just take my hand, I'll make it feel so much better tonight.
Suddenly my eyes are open,
everything comes into focus.
We are all illuminated,
lights are shining on our faces, blinding.

HURTS - Illuminated

The Portrait.

Once Upon A Time

Every now and then
I get a little bit restless
 and I dream of something wild.

Once upon a time there was light in my life,
 but now there's only love in the dark.

 Nothing I can say,
 A total eclipse of the heart.

Every now and then
I get a little bit helpless
 and I'm lying like a child in your arms. . .

 

"You gave me more to live for,
more than you'll ever know."

Jeff Buckley
(Last Goodbye)

And he gave me more to live for, more than he'll ever know. ♥

Eternal Life

Racist everyman, what have you done?
Man, you've made a killer of your unborn son!
Crown my fear - you're king at the point of a gun.
All I want to do is love everyone.

And as your fantasies are broken in two,
did you really think this bloody road would
pave the way for you?
You better turn around
and blow your kiss hello to life eternal.

There's no time for hatred, only questions -
What is love, where is happiness, what is Life,
where is peace?
When will I find the strength to bring me release?

Ich denke die Zeilen sprechen irgendwie für sich. Eternal Life ist eine Eigenkomposition Jeff Buckleys - ein Genie, wie ich finde.
