The Opposite side of the sea - Oren Lavie (2007)

Quem é esse cara? Nascido em Tel Aviv (Israel) em 1976, Oren não é apenas cantor: é compositor, escritor e diretor. The Opposite Side of the Sea, seu disco de estréia, foi um temendo sucesso de crítica e lhe rendeu a participação na trilha sonora de As Crônicas de Nárnia: Príncipe Caspian com a canção chamada A Dance ‘Round the Memory Tree.

O clip de Her Morning Elegance, feito em stop-motion, é hiper criativo! A música é deliciosa... Lembra Kings of Convenience - um som meio bossa nova, cool. Os arranjos de cello deixam a música leve, mas com um ar clássico, elegante e suave - arranjo primoroso e de extremo bom gosto. Desde Flores em Você, do Ira, me sinto enlevada por músicas com arranjos de violino/cello. As outras canções do álbum também seguem esse tom. Fui totalmente fisgada pelo estilo dele! Essa canção em especial parece ter sido feita para mim. Ela descreve um pouco - definitivamente um muito! - de mim.

Her Morning Elegance - Oren Lavie

Sun been down for days
A pretty flower in a vase
A slipper by the fireplace
A cello lying in its case

Soon she's down the stairs
Her morning elegance she wears
The sound of water makes her dream
Awoken by a cloud of steam
She pours a daydream in a cup
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
with a thought she has caught
by a thread
she pays for the bread
and she goes…
Nobody knows

Sun been down for days
A winter melody she plays
The thunder makes her contemplate
She hears a noise behind the gate
Perhaps a letter with a dove
Perhaps a stranger she could love

And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
with a thought she has caught
by a thread
she pays for the bread
and she goes…
Nobody knows

And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
where the people are pleasantly
strange
and counting the
change
as she goes…
Nobody knows
