Mike Oldfield

Ultimamente estou muito numa onda de Mike Oldfield.

Deixo-vos duas sugestões: "Talk About Your Life" e "To France". Ambas cantadas magistralmente por Maggie Reilly. Duas boas alternativas à muito conhecida "Moonlight Shadow".

Curiosamente, as duas canções partilham uma mesma linha melódica e isto deve-se ao facto de pertencerem ambas ao mesmo álbum ("Discovery"), lançado em 1984.

Talk About Your Life



Walking Out In The Street Light, Midnight.
Whisper Wind, Catch Me In The Headlight.
Talk About Your Life, I'd Like To Know.
It's Not Easy Going Where No-One Goes,
And No-One Knows.

Do We Have To Be So Distant?
How Can You Be So Unreal?
What's The Reason For Hiding, And
How Does Crying Make You Feel?

I Can See You're Talking To Me In Riddles.
Do What You Like, You Go Where The Wind Blows.
Talk About Your Life, I'd Like To Know.
It's Not Easy Going Where No-One Goes,
And No-One Knows.

I Reach For Certain Disguise That You're Leaving,
And I Can Tell By The Mist In Your Eyes That You're Dreaming.
Dreaming.

Do We Have To Be So Distant?
How Can You Be So Unreal?

In The Clouds, Running And Chasing Shadows.
In The Crowd, Frozen In The Window.
Talk About Your Life, I'd Like To Know.
It's Not Easy Going Where No-One Goes,
And No-One Knows.

To France



Taking on water,
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory,
A fantasy.
The wind carries
Into white water,
Far from the islands.
Don't you know you're
Never going to get to France.

Mary, Queen of Chance,
will they find you?
Never going to get to France.
Could a new romance ever bind you?

Walking on foreign ground,
Like a shadow,
Roaming in far off
Territory.
Over your shoulder,
Stories unfold, you're
Searching for sanctuary.
You know you're
Never going to get to France...

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker.
Isn't it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?
Never going to get to France...
