Música de quinta: Love Long Distance, por Gossip

Já não é mais quinta, mas a semana está bastante corrida. É carnaval, gente. Não gosta de "pular a folia" (termo horrível)? Tudo bem, tem também o início dos jogos olímpicos de inverno em Vancouver. E esses dois eventos juntinhos trouxeram um volume de trabalho consideráááável para meus colegas e eu.

Enfim, a música da semana surgiu com a notícia de que Gossip tocará em Porto Alegre no mês que vem. Fiquei contente e a fim de ir, até porque parece que os ingressos serão em torno de R$50,00 e o festival onde tocarão será no Pepsi  On Stage, ou seja, um lugar decente.

O videoclipe de Love Long Distance é até fofo, com as cabeças de balão e os patins. A música tem um embalo na medida para você ouvir a qualquer momento. E Beth Ditto não se discute; se escuta. =)

The lirics:

Call yourself a romantic

Let me explain

Been Across the whole Atlantic

And back again

I had it with your antics

Your childish games

Baby

I call your number twice

But it rang and rang

Against my best friends advice

I should be ashamed

(You) Did it to me once

You’ll do it again

So she says

Love long distance

Is testing me trying my patients

I need more of your assistance now

Love long distance

Is testing me trying my patients

I need more of your assistance now

Heard it through the bass line

Not much longer would you be my baby

Work yourself into a panic

Bent outta shape

And then take me for granted

Like nothings changed

All my friends are asking

Why you’re that way

But I can’t explain

Why I call your number twice

And / but it rang and rang

Against my best friends advice

I should be ashamed

You did it to me once

You’ll do it again

She promises

Love long distance

Is testing me trying my patients

I need more of your assistance now

You’re making me crazy

The way that you’ve been acting lately

I need more of your assistance now

Breaking Up or Breaking Down

When I need you, you can’t be found

I want someone who’s around for me

Does it have to be so complicated?

Either way I’m devastated

I could use a little comforting

Love long distance

Is testing me trying my patients

I need more of your assistance now

Love long distance

Is testing me trying my patients

I need more of your assistance now

Love, love, love, love

I need some assistance now

Love
