DIA 30: “Uma m\u00fasica que te lembra voc\u00ea mesmo\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Para encerrar esse desafio de 30 m\u00fasicas em 30 dias (com alguns pequenos intervalos, afinal, meu Instagram, minhas regras), a primeira can\u00e7\u00e3o que pensei \u00e9 uma m\u00fasica que amo de Roddy Woomble, vocalista do Idlewild, can\u00e7\u00e3o que d\u00e1 t\u00edtulo ao seu primeiro disco solo, “My Secret is My Silence”.<\/p>\n Mas, para pregar uma pe\u00e7a em mim mesmo, decidi escolher “American English”, do Idlewild.<\/p>\n N\u00e3o sei se voc\u00ea conhece o Idlewild, um grupo escoc\u00eas que soava \u2013 nos primeiros discos \u2013 como um Smiths passado pelo furac\u00e3o grunge, algo que conquistou um s\u00e9quito de f\u00e3s cult no in\u00edcio da carreira, mas que me pegou realmente com \u201cThe Remote Part\u201d (2002), terceiro disco da carreira da banda, e sinal de maturidade e bom gosto musical dos caras.<\/p>\n “American English”, o single do disco, \u00e9 uma metalinguagem sobre a pr\u00f3pria m\u00fasica, refletindo sobre as conex\u00f5es pessoais que os ouvintes fazem com can\u00e7\u00f5es escritas por pessoas que elas acham que conhecem, quando, na verdade, s\u00e3o completos estranhos (um tema, inclusive, que tenho revisitado bastante nas conversas sobre o livro do Scream & Yell, essa rela\u00e7\u00e3o meio absurda de f\u00e3 e artista).<\/p>\n Dai que nada como terminar um desafio que pede “uma m\u00fasica que te lembra voc\u00ea mesmo\u201d cantando “The good songs weren’t written for you \/ Ainda assim, vou postar na sequencia outra contando uma historinha e fazendo algumas conex\u00f5es…<\/p>\n \u201cAmerican English\u201d, Idlewild<\/em><\/strong> Songs when they’re true are all dedicated to you<\/em> And maybe you’re young without youth<\/em> Then you contract the American Dream<\/em> Sing a song about myself<\/em> [Verse 2]<\/em> So you let me hear songs that were written all about you<\/em> Then you contract the American Dream<\/em> Sing a song about myself<\/em> And I won’t tell you what this means<\/em> And you came along and found the weak spot<\/em>
\nThey’ll never be about you”.<\/p>\n

\nAnd this invisible world I choose to live in<\/em>
\nAnd if you believe that then now I understand<\/em>
\nWhy words mean so much to you:<\/em>
\nThey’ll never be about you<\/em><\/p>\n
\nOr maybe you’re old without knowing anything’s true<\/em>
\nI think you’re young without youth<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou never look up once<\/em>
\nYou’ve contracted American Dreams<\/em>
\nI require you to stop and look up<\/em><\/p>\n
\nKeep singing a song about myself<\/em>
\nNot some invisible world<\/em><\/p>\n
\nConstantly searching to find something new<\/em>
\nBut what will you find when you think that nothing’s true?<\/em>
\nMaybe it’s that nothing is new<\/em><\/p>\n
\nThe good songs weren’t written for you<\/em>
\nThey’ll never be about you<\/em><\/p>\n
\nYou never look up once<\/em>
\nYou’ve contracted American Dreams<\/em>
\nI require you to stop and look up<\/em><\/p>\n
\nKeep singing a song about myself<\/em>
\nNot some invisible world<\/em><\/p>\n
\n‘Cause you already know<\/em>
\nAnd I won’t tell you what this means<\/em>
\n‘Cause you already know<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThat you always wanted<\/em>
\n(Keep singing a song about myself)<\/em>
\nLet yourself be everything that you’ve always wanted<\/em>
\n(Not some invisible world)<\/em>
\nIt doesn’t have to be so decided<\/em>
\n(Sing a song about myself)<\/em>
\nBut you’ve always wanted<\/em>
\n(Keep singing a song about myself)<\/em>
\nNo need for explanations<\/em><\/p>\n
