Jesse Malin - Wendy

Hoje eu deixei essa música no repeat do e ouvi um monte de vezes seguidas. Depois fui pro cursinho e fiquei cantarolando e ela não saia da minha cabeça de jeito nenhum. E ainda não saiu.

É linda demais. Uma das melhores músicas do "The fine art of self destruction" (2003), o primeiro disco solo do Jesse Malin, ex-vocalista da incrível e finada banda Dgeneration.

Depois desse primeiro disco de sua carreira solo vieram o não menos genial "The Heat" (2004) e o fabuloso e meu preferido "Glitter in the Gutter", lançado em março desse ano.

Ele ainda fez um verso que cita Tom Waits, Kinks e Kerouac. Simplesmente genial!


Jesse Malin - Wendy

Wendy left me all alone
No postcard or telephone
Wintertime down by the beach
In a jukebox bar way out of reach

She liked Tom Waits and the poet's hat
Sixties Kinks and Kerouac
Through the night her tailights fade
Her selection never played

I don't know I don't know I don't know why
Checkin' the tears and the light in your eyes
I don't know I don't know I don't know
If my little baby will make it alone

Wendy took me with a smile
Country lips and Bacall style
Through Tangiers or to Bombay
Her self-portrait in the USA

I don't know I don't know I don't know why
Checkin' the tears and the light in your eyes
I don't know I don't know I don't know
If my little baby will make it alone

Dreams Dyin' slowly
We don't want to be alone
DreamsDark and holy
We don't want to be alone

Thinking the things that I can't erase
Hole in my heart and a gun in my face
Feeling the things that I can't describe
I don't know I don't know I don't know why

Dreams Dyin' slowly
We don't want to be alone
DreamsDark and holy
We don't want to be alone

Wendy
Let down
Wendy
Get down
I don't know I don't know I don't know why
