Allein zu dir Herr Jesu Christ BWV 33

[DaVinci]

Opal - Early Recordings

Glad i got that album from 1989 as cd re-issue release from 2019 which has 17 tracks vs originally 13.
An album that gets easily 6 of 5 stars, just brilliant songs.

March 5th

Do you see me?
Do you hear me?
What have I done to you?
Why do you destroy me?
Do you feel me?
Do you sense me?
If you don't love me anymore
Why do you touch me?
Do you need me?
Tell me, don't you think
It is better
If you live your life without me
Do you recognize me?
Don't you understand?
Why are you still here?
What do you want from me?


Open your eyes
As you see you understand
How mercilessly time passes
How the clock ticks
Ceaselessly
It never stands still


You don't know what you want
You don't know where you stand
Don't know where you come from, where you go
You don't know what drives you
What is left for you at the end of the day
Why are you so pale, so cold, so heartless?
You don't know what you're doing
Don't know what you believe in
Tell me whether you still need me and what for
When it's simply not working out any longer
When you really just hate me
Why are you still here?
What for?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?


Do you see me?
Do you recognize me?
Way deep down in my heart there's a place for you
I'm looking for you
I'm longing for what I used to love
But I don't find it


Way too long
Way too late
Reaped the whirlwind
Sowed the wind
Time passes
Ceaselessly
It never stands still

Geist und Seele wird verwirret BWV 35

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it

[Chorus:]
Bend me, break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you
Bend me, break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
Manipulate it
I think I'm paranoid
And complicated

[Chorus:]
Paranoid
I think I'm paranoid

[Chorus:]
Steal me, deal me, anyway you heal me
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right

Bend me
Break me
Any way you need me
As long as I want you baby it's all right.

Schwingt freudig euch empor BWV 36




Die Freude reget sich BWV 36b




Schwingt freudig euch empor BWV 36c



(No need, aside from FOMO, to listen to all three versions. Top one will do.)

For the sake of completeness, mention will be made Steigt freudig in die Luft BWV 36a. Its music, arranged from 36c, is lost.

Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir BWV 38

[DaVinci]

Norah Jones - Day Breaks

Her album from 2016, my latest purchase of her works.
Not so much my taste in comparison to 'Not Too Late', 'The Fall' and 'Little Broken Hearts', but pretty nice as well, reminding of her excellent debut album 'Come Away With Me' from 2002.

And because i'm a terrible fan of her song 'Stuck',
especially the live versions

... that guitar solo by Jason Roberts

Stuck, lyrics

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You shove your way
Through the room from the street
And finally to me
You ask me what I'm drinking

My friend Johnny
Tugging on my sleeve
Asks if I wanna leave
But what I'm really thinking is

Why can't it be easy, easy?
Why don't you leave
Leave me, leave me be?

I can see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

I'm sitting here stuck
And plastered to my seat
I think up a reason to leave
When you finally stop speaking

I'll take a long slow
Walk down Washington Street
Half asleep on my feet
Half aware if I'm dreaming

I'll go home alone, a sinking stone
A switched off telephone
I'll go on, be free, a frozen breeze
A fallen down factory

But I still see you swaying
And I can't hear what you're saying

I just lost the plot, got a little caught
In a little knot
I just hit a wall had a little fall
Felt the swinging wrecking ball

And why should that be?
Why don't you tell me?
Why don't you tell me?
I'm sure you'll tell me
Why don't you tell me?
I guess you'll tell me, tell me

Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot BWV 39

I must apologise... I am getting a distinct tired feeling from that new Maiden stuff.

Speaking of tired... I love the new Melissa EP. Black-Crust as hell...

Spoiler for NSFW/adult content: 

Also Eternal Champion are hilarious.

I am getting a distinct tired feeling from that new Maiden stuff.

Its ok, i had the feeling its slower than songs from previous albums.

As i need entertainment, while i'm seeking for errors in my presentation...

I Want To Burn

Far too often, the fear of falling controlled me
Just once, I wanted to be renewed
For too long, fear held me in its claws
Supernova, it belongs to me alone


For too long, I let myself bend to you
For so long, the desire has been raging in my blood
Only once I let go, because I want to fly
Supernova, like the phoenix rising from the embers


Don't come too close, otherwise it'll happen
We'll both go up in flames


I want to burn, I want to burn
Even if only cold ashes remain
I want to burn, I want to burn
Even if you forget my name tomorrow
Hot light on the way to heaven
With my last breath I want to burn
I want to burn


Far too often, I'm uncertain of my own life
Just once, I want to scream to the heavens
Just once, I want to float up to the sun
Supernova, and liberate myself
Don't come too close, otherwise it'll happen
We'll both go up in flames


I want to burn, I want to burn
Even if only cold ashes remain
I want to burn, I want to burn
Even if you forget my name tomorrow
Hot light on the way to heaven
With my last breath I want to burn
I want to burn


Please don't touch me, it's no use
Otherwise the current of fire will carry you with me
Please stay away from me, because otherwise it'll skip
And because the fever will penetrate into your soul too
Please don't grab me, otherwise it'll happen
We'll lose ourselves in the heat of the night
