What are you listening to ?

[CyranoJ]

Runnin' (Dying to Live). Only collaborative track between Pac and Biggie, and contains the immortal Biggie line "Run from the police, picture that, nigga I'm too fat / I'd fuck around and catch an asthma attack. / That's why I bust back, it don't faze me..." Nobody else ever made being a fattie sound badass quite like that.

Goodbye, goodbye,
Eastern Standard Time
It could be roses in my pockets
or be roses on my stone.

The waves on the shore
take all of my being,
gray and habitual,
resolved and serene.
And I’m at your door
half-smiling
All of a man half-waiting for
the bell to ring.
While all of those waves unwavering
I’m wavering
Goodbye, goodbye,
Eastern Standard Time
it could be roses in my pockets
or be roses on my stone
Goodbye, goodbye
In the dark, dark hour of night
I’ll be the only one alone

It can’t be ignored
though it can be screened.
Oh singing out these melodies
with all I mean.
So surround and adore me,
arouse and implore me.
The waves will roll, the wave will crash
and what left will there be?
Oh, what left will there be?
Goodbye, goodbye,
Eastern Standard Time
it could be roses in my pockets
or be roses on my stone
Goodbye, goodbye
In this dark, dark hour of night
I’ll be the only one alone.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
The waves on the shore
take all of my being.
Goodbye, goodbye.

The bands/singers I'm listening to

Immortal (A great Norwegion black metal band.)
Zimmers hole
Dolly Parton
Life Lover (A bit of warning. The name can fool you. A music critic descibed the sound as love songs for people who have sex with the dead. Not a word is in English.
Warlock Doro Pesch's 80's band. She is the queen of Metal!

Sometimes a band/singer can sound good without knowing the language. My Spanish is limited but early Shakira when she had black hair and sang in Spanish was great.
Estoy Aqui is a good start.

on youtube-

Georges Brassens - Je me suis fait tout petit

Je n 'avais jamais ôté mon chapeau
I had never taken my hat off
Devant personne
For anyone
Maintenant je rampe et je fais le beau
Now I grovel and I sit up and beg
Quand elle me sonne
When she rings for me,

J'étais chien méchant, elle me fait manger
I was an ill tempered dog, she makes me eat
Dans sa menotte
From her tiny hand
J'avais des dents d'loup, je les ai changées
I used to have wolf teeth, I have changed them
Pour des quenottes
For the first teeth of a child

Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
I have become quite small before a doll
Qui ferme les yeux quand on la couche
Who closes her eyes when you put her to bed
Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
I have become quite small before a doll
Qui fait Maman quand on la touche
Who goes « Mamma » when you touch her

J'était dur à cuire, elle m'a converti
I was a tough cookie, she has converted me
La fine mouche
The wily creature
Et je suis tombé tout chaud, tout rôti
And I fell all hot, ready roasted
Contre sa bouche
Against her mouth
Qui a des dents de lait quand elle sourit
Which has milk teeth when she smiles
Quand elle chante
When she sings
Et des dents de loup quand elle est furie
And wolf's teeth when she is a fury
Qu'elle est méchante
How wicked she is.

Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
Qui ferme les yeux quand on la couche
Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
Qui fait Maman quand on la touche

Je subis sa loi, je file tout doux
I submit to her law, I watch my step
Sous son empire
Under her rule
Bien qu'elle soit jalouse au-delà de tout
Although she is jealous in the extreme
Et même pire
And even worse

Une jolie pervenche qui m'avait paru
A blue periwinkle flower ,who had seemed to me
Plus jolie qu'elle
Prettier than her
Une jolie pervenche un jour en mourut
A pretty periwinkle died from it
A coup d'ombrelle
Lashed by a parasol

Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
Qui ferme les yeux quand on la couche
Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
Qui fait Maman quand on la touche

Tous les somnambules, tous les mages m'ont
All the sleepwalking psychics, all the astrologers
Dit sans malice
Told me with good intent
Qu'en ses bras en croix, je subirais mon
That in her crossed arms, I would suffer
Dernier supplice
the throes of death
Il en est de pires il en est d'meilleures
There are better ways, there are worse
Mais à tout prendre
But all in all
Qu'on se pende ici, qu'on se pende ailleurs
Whether one hangs here , whether one hangs elsewhere
S'il faut se pendre
If you have to hang yourself

Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
Qui ferme les yeux quand on la couche
Je m'suis fait tout p'tit devant une poupée
Qui fait Maman quand on la touche

George Carlin ~ The American Dream

I have been "listening" to Lit Denizens that possess the edge of humor that I lack.
I saw someone's remark in a blog, that "Wall Street is Occupying America."
I recognized that someone on the GB could have written a joke, and could
have written that protesters were justified in Occupying Wall Street...
