O CONTO DE UM SOLDADO

Uma das músicas que serviram de inspiração para Ally Condie enquanto ela escrevia a continuação de “Destino” é “Edwin’s Tale – 1862”, cantada por Peter Breinholt. Ela estará na trilha sonora de “Crossed” e conta a história de um soldado em meio a uma guerra. Confira a música e a letra a seguir.

Edwin’s Tale – 1862
I can see the lights go down on Bethel town

And I can see the banners fly tonight

Somewhere out there the cannon’s lighting up the sky

And everything is faded into white

I saw on high an angel fly

And looking down upon me there

The stars tonight

Light up the sky

And everything is quiet

Don’t take me wrong

And as I stand here wondering

I can’t breathe at all

I can’t breathe at all

I can’t breathe at all

Oh no no

Thomas I don’t know what will become of me

And I have never seen this sort of thing

And I have never felt so many miles away

And everything I know I keep it in

And I hear a sound

And looked around

But everyone was quiet

Then from on high

An angel choir

A million voices singing

Don’t take me wrong

And as I’m down here watching

I can’t breathe at all

I can’t breathe at all

I can’t breathe at all

Someone’s singing songs out there tonight

Li li li li

High li li li li li

High li li li li li

High li li li li li

And still I’ll get on

When there’s nothing but songs

And there’s nothing but songs

In my head

In my head now

In my head

Oh whoa whoa

E aí, será que haverá uma guerra em “Crossed”? Que surpresas Ally preparou para nós na nova fase da aventura de Cassia, Ky e Xander?

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN NA TRILHA DE “CROSSED”

Um dos maiores nomes da música mundial, Bruce Springsteen, serviu de inspiração para Ally Condie durante o processo de escrita da continuação de “Destino”. Ela revelou que a música “This Hard Land” estará na trilha sonora de “Crossed” quando nos apresentou um pouco do cenário do livro.

Conheça esta nova faixa que vai embalar a segunda parte da jornada de Cassia, Ky e Xander.

This Hard Land

Hey there mister can you tell me what happened to the seeds I’ve sown
Can you give me a reason sir as to why they’ve never grown
They’ve just blown around from town to town

Till they’re back out on these fields
Where they fall from my hand
Back into the dirt of this hard land

Now me and my sister from Germantown
We did ride
We made our bed sir from the rock on the mountainside
We been blowin’ around from town to town
Lookin for a place to stand
Where the sun burst through the cloud
To fall like a circle
Like a circle of fire down on this hard land

Now even the rain it don’t come ‘round
It don’t come ‘round here no more
And the only sound at night’s the wind
Slammin’ the back porch door
It just stirs you up like it wants to blow you down
Twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand
Leavin’ all them scarecrows lyin’ face down
Face down in the dirt of this hard land
From a building up on the hill
I can hear a tape deck blastin’ "Home on the Range"
I can see them Bar-M choppers
Sweepin’ low across the plains
It’s me and you Frank we’re lookin’ for lost cattle
Our hooves twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand
We’re ridin’ in the whirlwind searchin’ for lost treasure
Way down south of the Rio Grande
We’re ridin’ cross that river
In the moonlight
Up onto the banks of this hard land

Hey Frank won’t ya pack your bags
And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
Just one kiss from you my brother
And we’ll ride until we fall
Well sleep in the fields
We’ll sleep by the rivers and in the morning
We’ll make a plan
We’ll if you can’t make it
Stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive
If you can
And meet me in a dream of this hard land

“IN FOR THE KILL” É MAIS UMA CANÇÃO DA TRILHA SONORA DE “CROSSED”

Depois de “Empty”, de Ray LaMontagne, e de “A Dustland Fairytale”, de The Killers, conheça mais uma música que inspirou Ally Condie enquanto ela escrevia “Crossed” e, portanto, estará na trilha sonora do livro. A canção da vez é “In For The Kill”, da cantora La Roux. A letra fala sobre a eterna luta que todos têm com seus desejos, de mudanças e de dúvidas. Que tipo de cenas e enredos será que esta canção inspirou na continuação de “Destino”?

In For The Kill

We can fight our desires
Ooooh but when we start making fires
We get ever so hot
Ooooh whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust
Ooooh but what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions
Ooooh but what are feelings without emotions?

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand

I hang my hopes out on the line
Ooooh will they be ready for you in time?
If you leave them out too long
Ooooh they’ll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks
Ooooh my words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions?
Ooooh can this bridge cross the ocean?

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand

Let’s go to war
To make peace
Let’s be cold
To create heat
I hope in darkness
We can see
And you’re not blinded
By the light from me

Oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh ooooooooooh

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand

I’m going in for the kill
I’m doing it for a thrill
I’m hoping you’ll understand
And not let go of my hand

“A DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE”, DE THE KILLERS, ESTÁ NA TRILHA SONORA DE “CROSSED”

Ally Condie, autora de “Destino”, está divulgando pouco a pouco a trilha sonora de “Crossed”. No começo a semana mostramos “Empty”, de Ray LaMontagne, para vocês. Agora chegou a hora de conhecerem mais uma faixa que inspirou Ally enquanto escrevia o segundo volume da trilogia. Com vocês, A Dustland Fairytale, de The Killers!

A Dustland Fairytale

A Dustland Fairytale beginning
Just another white trash county kiss
In ’61, long brown hair, foolish eyes

He looks just like you’d want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
A blue jean serenade, and moon river, what you do to me
I don’t believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He’s getting ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a palm tonight

Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
She says she always knew he’d come around
And the decades disappear like sinking ships
But we persevere, God gives us hope
But we still fear what we don’t know

The mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
Drawbridges closing

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He’s getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I took my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide

Out where the dreams are high
Out here, the wind don’t blow
Out here, the good girls die
And the sky won’t snow
Out here, the birds don’t sing
Out here, the fields don’t grow
Out here, the bell don’t ring
Out here, the bell don’t ring

Out here, the good girls die

Now Cinderella, don’t you go to sleep
It’s such a bitter form of refuge
Oh don’t you know, the kingdom’s under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in 61?
In the cadence of a young man’s eyes
I wouldn’t dream so high

“EMPTY”, DE RAY LAMONTAGNE, ESTÁ NA TRILHA SONORA DE “CROSSED”

Ally Condie já havia divulgado a trilha sonora que ela imaginou para “Destino”, composta por diversas músicas que a inspiraram enquanto ela escrevia o livro. Recentemente, ela divulgou algumas das primeiras faixas de “Crossed”. A continuação da aventura de Cassia, Ky e Xander só será lançada em novembro nos EUA, mas as músicas despertam a imaginação e ajudam a sentir um gostinho do que vem por aí.

Quando perguntaram para Ally sobre a playlist de “Crossed”, a primeira canção que ela respondeu foi “Empty”, de Ray LaMontagne. Confira a música e a letra abaixo.

Empty – Ray LaMontagne

She lifts her skirt up to her knees,

walks through the garden rows with her bare feet, laughing.I never learned to count my blessings,I choose instead to dwell in my disasters.I walk on down the hill,through grass, grown tall and brownand still its hard somehow to let go of my pain.On past the busted back of that old and rusted Cadillacthat sinks into this field, collecting rain.Will I always feel this way?So empty, so estranged.

And of these cut-throat busted sunsets,

these cold and damp white morningsI have grown weary.If through my cracked and dusted dime-store lipsI spoke these words out loud would no one hear me?Lay your blouse across the chair,let fall the flowers from from your hairand kiss me with that country mouth, so plain.Outside, the rain is tapping on the leaves,to me it sounds like they’re applauding us the the quiet love we’ve made.Will I always feel this way?So empty, so estranged.

Well I looked my demons in the eyes,

laid bare my chest, said "Do your best, destroy me.You see, I’ve been to hell and back so many times,I must admit you kind of bore me."There’s a lot of things that can kill a man,there’s a lot of ways to die,listen, some already did that walked beside me.There’s a lot of things I don’t understand,why so many people lie.Its the hurt I hide that fuels the fire inside me.Will I always feel this way?So empty, so estranged.
