Quando a versão supera o original #2

Desta vez até eu estive indeciso. O original (de Elliott Smith) também é muito bom, mas continuo a preferir esta versão da Madeleine Peyroux. Acho que o facto de ela a cantar mais lentamente dá tempo para "entrar na música". O pequeno solo de piano está simples, bonito e remete-me (vá-se lá saber porquê) para uma imagem de uma cidade alta, suja e à chuva (imaginem o som da chuva por trás do solo de piano...).
Para ouvir bem alto.




Between the bars (Elliot Smith)

drink up, baby, stay up all night
the things you could do, you won't but you might
the potential you'll be, that you'll never see
the promises you'll only make

drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days
do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive them away
the images stuck in your head

people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

drink up, baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars where I'm seeing you
there with your hands in the air, waiting to finally be caught

drink up one more time and I'll make you mine
keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest
where I like you the best and keep the things you forgot

the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
