Maysa Mix: "Pathologically Incomplete"
Maysa: Arrogant. Headstrong. Blunt. Colorful. Spoiled. Drunk. Interesting. Self-Absorbed... An undeniably complex woman. A remarkably intriguing persona. A greatly passionate artist. An irrefutably lousy wife. A monumentally crappy mother. A bounded free spirit. Simply Maysa. Take it or leave it. Hate to love her, love to hate her… A small homage to the (in)famous Brazilian singer/songwriter. 24 tracks divided in 2 cds, featuring artists such as Damien Rice, Marry Me Jane, Stars, Aimee Mann, Ryan Adams, Iron & Wine, The Shins, Pedestrian, I am Kloot, etc. Plus 3 bonus tracks of the woman in question herself.
FYI: The tracks #12 from cd1 and cd2 regard her first husband and her son, respectively.

"…perpetually chasing an idea of happiness,
and a sense of completeness, that exist
only in her own head…”
#cd1#
01# i.taught.myself.how.to.grow.old||ryan.adams
"poor little rose, beaten by the rain
in the wind in the gale, thunder and the hail
sometimes i feel like i'm going insane
without the numbness or the pain so intense to feel
especially now it added up through the years
and i, i taught myself how to grow
without any love and there was poison in the rain
i taught myself how to grow
now i'm crooked on the outside, and the inside's broke"
02# calendar.girl||stars
"if i am lost for a day, try to find me
but if i don't come back, then i won't look behind me
all of the things that i thought were so easy
just got harder and harder each day"
03# so.what?||marry.me.jane
"missing the one train short on evidence
smoke and mirrors, God i'm good
i'll catch the express, the car is steaming
i could fall or i could learn to sit
bitches and bankers
i'm the misfit
i know my station, the grime is statuesque
…
so what?
there's a drunk guy in my seat
so what?
he looks an awful lot like me"
04# petrified.to.be.god-like||susie.suh
"i fight my demons everyday
they come and go they up and flow, like the ocean
you think you know me, and you know me
but you don’t know
how scared i am
so i like to make excuses, and i like to blame everyone else
and i like to point my finger at you
rather than change myself
it's just each day goes by so fast
i can’t seem to grasp them
and i tend to run away from my reflection"
05# childish(live)||damien.rice
"well i'm so childish
a little bit wildish
with my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly
i'm so deep
well i'm so uncaring
do far too much swearing
…
i'm so truthful
a little bit bruteful
but in sooth i know not
why i am so sad"
06# the.spine.song||cake.bake.betty
"you arrive at the place
it is not what you want
but it is what you chase
so you don't have to hold
all of the candles
that burn on their own
you will steal all the smells
that cut through your nose and inside on your cells
when it's time to escape
you realize you've waited until it's too late"
07# onion.girl||holly.cole
"i'm a bit unstable, she said with a cheshire grin
so many cracks in my sidewalk, boy
don't you fall in
feels like the things that i've wanted the most in this life
i can't have
so you see, i've been damning the world
before it damns me
she said i'm naked and shameless
and i'm peeling back the layers, like an onion girl
don't try to save me, just stay away
'cause i might make you cry"
08# black.hole||she&him
"my eyes are so bleary
i guess i'm young
but i feel so weary
i've tried to express it
but i think
it's all a bore
it's at the heart of me
a very part of me"
09# phantom.limb||the.shins
"a latent power i know they hide
to keep some hope alive
that a girl like i'm could ever try
could ever try
so we just skirt the hallway sides
a phantom and a fly
follow the lines and wonder why
there's no connection"
10# an.angry.blade||iron&wine
"who left you so?
grace is a gift for the fallen dear
you're an angry blade and you're brave
but you're all alone
turning a shade of an angel born
in a bramble ditch when the doors
of heaven closed"
11# blue||joni.mitchell
"blue, i love you
blue, here is a shell for you
inside you'll hear a sigh
a foggy lullaby
there is your song from me"
12# the.reason.why||rachael.yamagata
"it's not that i don't understand you
it's not that i don't want to be with you
but you only wanted me
the way you wanted me
so, i will head out alone, hope for the best
and we hang our heads down
as we skip the goodbyes
and you can tell the world what you want them to hear
i've got nothing left to lose, my dear
so, i'm up for the little white lies
but you and i, know the reason why
i'm gone, and you're still there"
#cd2#
01# bad.reputation||death.cab.for.cutie
"i know i got a bad reputation
and it isn't just talk, talk, talk
if i could only give you everything
you know i haven't got
i couldn't have one conversation
if it wasn't for the lies, lies, lies
…
but i'm just breakin' down, down, down, down, down
been breakin' down, down, down, down, down"
02# overwhelmed||pedestrian
"i feel simple, i feel lost
i feel heavy with all the above
i want to get away, i’ve got to get away
one more blow will do me in
so i hide beneath this skin
it’s so much safer here
it must be safer here
in the darkest parts of me"
03# momentum||aimee.mann
"oh, for the sake of momentum
i've allowed my fears to get larger than life
and it's brought me to my current agendum
whereupon i deny fulfillment has yet to arrive
and i know life is getting shorter
i can't bring myself to set the scene
even when it's approaching torture
i've got my routine"
04# city||sara.bareilles
"bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
a place you can stand for one night and get gone
it's clear this conversation ain't doing a thing
‘cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
and i don't feel like singing tonight
all the same songs
here in these deep city lights
girl could get lost tonight
i'm finding every reason to be gone
nothing here to hold on to
…
calling out, somebody save me
i feel like i'm fading away
am i gone? "
05# teeth||lisa.hannigan
"as an old balloon, i hold my breath
like a penance paid too soon, and with too much eagerness
to know what is true
when air is changed by you
makes it hard
i don't know where it comes from
where to go
when the rains come"
06# the.same.deep.water.as.me||i.am.kloot
"swim out to the ocean
drown your thought out at sea
and dip your hands in the water
the same deep water as me
you've been watching for cloudbursts
you've been praying for rain
drench your soul in the water
cleanse your heart of the stain"
07# quicksand||kate.walsh
"i’ll be a liar for too long
i’m sinking here
but still i care, i care
this quicksand’s pulling me down under
i don’t even see it’s killing me
all these caramel illusions
sinking slowly
wise up
all these bruises it’s all that you wanted"
08# draw.my.life||fauxliage
"there's something everybody knows
there's one place everybody goes
i've got this notion that it isn't what it seems
that I've been living in a dream
draw me a picture
draw it in color
'cause i wanna see my life through
someone else's eyes"
09# insignificant||counting.crows
"i don't want to feel so different
but i don't want to be insignificant, and i
don't know how to see the same things different
now
oh, can you see me?
i am one in a million
yeah, i'm icarus falling
out of the sun"
10# i.need.love||sam.phillips
"i left my conscience like a crying child
locked the door behind me, put the pain on file
broken like a window, i see my blindness now
and i need love not some sentimental prison
i need God not the political church
i need fire to melt this frozenness inside me
i need love"
11# my.skin||natalie.merchant
"i'm a slow dying flower
frost killing hour
the sweet turning sour
and untouchable
oh, i need the darkness
the sweetness
the sadness
the weakness
i need this"
12# sometimes.you.can’t.make.it.on.your.own||u2
"and it's you when i look in the mirror
and it's you when i don't pick up the phone
sometimes you can't make it on your own
…
where are we now?
still gotta let you know
a house doesn't make a home
don't leave me here alone
and it's you when i look in the mirror
and it's you that makes it hard to let go
sometimes you can't make it on your own
sometimes you can't make it
best you can do is to fake it"
