EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE

ALBUM: EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE

LABEL: EMI

GENRE: JAZZ

YEAR: 1956

"Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye" is a song with lyrics and music by Cole Porter and published by Chappell & Company. It was introduced by Nan Wynn in 1944 in Billy Rose's musical revue Seven Lively Arts. The song has since become a jazz standard after gaining popularity in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Many artists have replaced the apostrophe in "ev'ry" with an "e".

The lyrics celebrate how very happy the singer is when in the company of their beloved, but suffering equally whenever they separate. Describing it by analogy as a musical "change from major to minor", Porter begins with an A♭ major chord and ends with an A♭ minor one, matching the mood of the music to the words.

Cole Albert Porter (9 de junho de 1891 — died 15 de outubro de 1964 in Santa Monica, California) foi um músico e compositor americano de Peru, Indiana.

Seu trabalho inclui as comédias musicais Kiss Me, Kate (1948 - baseada na peça de Shakespeare The Taming of the Shrew), Fifty Million Frenchmen e Anything Goes, bem como as músicas "Night and Day", "I Get a Kick Out of You" e "I've Got You Under My Skin". Ele é notório pelas letras sofisticadas (às vezes vulgares), ritmos inteligentes e formas complexas. Ele é um dos maiores contribuidores do Great American Songbook.

Every time we say goodbye

I die a little

Every time we say goodbye

I wonder why a little

Why the Gods above me

Who must be in the know?

Think so little to me

They allow you to go

When you're near

there's such an air

of Spring about it

I can hear a lark somewhere

begin to sing about it

There’s no love song finer

But how strange the change

From major to minor

Every time we say goodbye

EL PASO

LABEL: COLUMBIA

GENRE: COUNTRY BALLAD

YEAR: 1959

"EL PASO" IS A country and western ballad written and originally recorded by Marty Robbins, and first released on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in September 1959. It was released as a single the following month, and became a major hit on both the country and pop music charts, reaching number one in both at the start of 1960. It won the Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording in 1961, and remains Robbins' best-known song. It is widely considered a genre classic for its gripping narrative which ends in the death of its protagonist, its shift from past to present tense, haunting harmonies by vocalists Bobby Sykes and Jim Glaser (of the Glaser Brothers) and the eloquent and varied Spanish guitar accompaniment by Grady Martin that lends the recording a distinctive Tex-Mex feel. The name of the character Faleena was based upon a schoolmate of Robbins in the fifth grade — Fidelina Martinez.

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso

I fell in love with a Mexican girl

Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina

Music would play and Felina would whirl

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina

Wicked and evil while casting a spell

My love was deep for this Mexican maiden

I was in love but in vain, I could tell

One night a wild young cowboy came in

Wild as the West Texas wind

Dashing and daring

A drink he was sharing

With wicked Felina

The girl that I loved

So in anger I

Challenged his right for the love of this maiden

Down went his hand for the gun that he wore

My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat

The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor

Just for a moment I stood there in silence

Shocked by the bountiful deed I had done

Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there

I had but one chance and that was to run

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran

Out where the horses were tied

I caught a good one

It looked like it could run

Up on its back

And away I did ride

Just as fast as I

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso

Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless

Everything's gone in life; nothing is left

It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden

My love is stronger than my fear of death

I saddled up and away I did go

Riding alone in the dark

Maybe tomorrow

A bullet may find me

Tonight nothing's worse than this

Pain in my heart

And at last here I

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso

I can see Rosa's cantina below

My love is strong and it pushes me onward

Down off the hill to Felina I go

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys

Off to my left ride a dozen or more

Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me

I have to make it to Rosa's back door

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel

A deep burning pain in my side

Though I am trying

To stay in the saddle

I'm getting weary

Unable to ride

But my love for

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen

Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.

I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle

I feel the bullet go deep in my chest

From out of nowhere Felina has found me

Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side

Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for

One little kiss and Felina, good-bye

I wanna kiss you in Paris

I wanna hold your hand in Rome

I wanna run naked in a rainstorm

Make love in a train cross-country

You put this in me

So now what, so now what?

Chorus:

Wanting, needing, waiting

For you to justify my love

Hoping, praying

For you to justify my love

I want to know you

Not like that

I don't wanna be your mother

I don't wanna be your sister either

I just wanna be your lover

I wanna be your baby

Kiss me, that's right, kiss me

(chorus)

Yearning, burning

For you to justify my love

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?

Talk to me -- tell me your dreams

Am I in them?

Tell me your fears

Are you scared?

Tell me your stories

I'm not afraid of who you are

We can fly!

Poor is the man

Whose pleasures depend

On the permission of another

Love me, that's right, love me

I wanna be your baby

(chorus)

I'm open and ready

For you to justify my love

To justify my love

Wanting, to justify

Waiting, to justify my love

Praying, to justify

To justify my love

I'm open, to justify my love

A Fleurie é uma cantora norte-americana que escolheu se chamar “flores” em francês. Quanto ao seu som, é aquele já conhecido electro-pop embebido em sintetizadores que muito lembra Kye Kye e similares. Neste seu segundo EP, ela aborda sobre a esperança em meio às dificuldades da vida:

Acredito que canções, palavras e melodias são como flechas. Eu quero que as minhas, que saem do coração E representam o amor, A alegria, O entusiasmo, A admiração e A dor. atinjaM as pessoas como setas de esperança e luz em suas vidas.

There's a ghost, she's wearin' my face

At parties being introduced with my name

Just a skeleton of bones, wearing nothing but clothes

And she is paralyzing

The human soul is a treacherous place

Beneath the mask we wear a dark and twisted labyrinth laid

Secrets locked and closets closed never surface

While we keep composed come out of hiding

Oh, oh, oh

There's a sound, it's haunting my dreams

Like children laughing in the distance and I don't know what it means

Am I afraid to be alone, that nobody will ever know

This death I'm dying?

Oh, oh, oh

There's a heartbeat under my floorboards

Charging me guilty and I don't know what for

There's a black bird over my door singing nevermore

Nevermore, nevermore, nevermore
