WATCH SIGNS

Desde os meus 13 anos que Jon Brion é um dos meus músicos favoritos. Conheci-o através da banda sonora do filme Magnolia, de P. T. Anderson, que só por si captou toda a minha atenção na altura, sendo ainda hoje um dos meus filmes preferidos.

O Jon Brion é daqueles compositores com que me identifico plenamente nas letras, no espírito agridoce de ver a vida, e no sentimento que se encontra contida nas melodias.
Com certeza esta não será a última vez que meto aqui alguma música dele.

A seguinte música é das minhas favoritas.


Jon Brion - Ruin My Day

I know it's today, so I guess you could say one recovers
It's odd you should call me, but then after all we were lovers

I don't wait by the phone like I used to
I don't hope for kind words you might say
You don't prey on my mind like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day

You're telling me now you regret how we never connected
Oh, as if you forget that it's me you regret you rejected

I don't easily forgive like I used to
And I seldom get carried away
No, you don't have the pull that you used to
But you can still ruin my day
Oh, you can still ruin my day

"Love, it was nothing, and it hardly hurt a bit"
Sounds good to me, but unfortunately I remember it

Now I don't lose my place like I used to
I'm not moved by your artful display
No, you can't draw me in like you used to
But you can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day
You can still ruin my day

You can still ruin my day
I say, you can still ruin my day
