This...Is something that's long overdue. Georgia Santana is a very, very good friend of mine, and this mix was made for her birthday, with songs that are about how I feel about/how I see her (#1, #2, #11), Georgia on life songs (#6, #4), Georgia on love (#7, #8, #9), songs, that to me, simply scream Georgia, a song (#3) with, or so it seems to me, things she should say but doesn't, and, bits and pieces of #10 make me think, oddly enough, of hers and her father's relationship. Ge, I'm really, really hoping this will please you. It was, after all, made with Georgia on my mind.
01. My Generation - The Who
Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
02. This Girl Is Taking Bets - Thea Gilmore
This girl is the plunge pool, she is cocaine and Kodak
Now she's out setting sail on the ocean of the soundtrack
This girl is the shaking hand, the rattling cup
With a button and a note saying things are looking up
03. Dumb - Garbage
Maybe I could write a letter
To help me with my self-esteem
You should get to know me better
No one's ever what they seem
04. Lemon Meringue - Poe
Hold on, you gotta wait just a minute
See the cookie jar with my hand caught in it
Just let me try to explain
You know I've been a good girl but I've hit a limit
05. This Heart's On Fire - Wolf Parade
Sometimes they rock and roll
Sometimes they stay at home and it's just fine
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
This heart's on fire
06. Quase Sem Querer - Legião Urbana
Quantas chances desperdicei
Quando o que eu mais queria
Era provar pra todo o mundo
Que eu não precisava
Provar nada pra ninguém
Which means, on a very loose translation
How many chances did I waste
When all I wanted most
Was to prove to everyone
That I didn't have to
Prove anything to anyone
07. If I Could - Lou Barlow
I can feel it in the morning
Nothing going on tonight
I get the feeling that my love for you's not right
I can't help thinking that you might not like my style
Watching television, let me chew on you awhile
08. Cadê Você - Ana Cañas
Por isso me traga uma flor
E faça um favor de não me irritar
E conte uma bela história
Se for confiante
Vou acreditar
Which means (loose translation as well)
So bring me a flower
And please do not irritate me
And tell me a beautiful story
If it's trustworthy
I'll believe it
09. Who Needs Love - Razorlight
Darling who needs the rain?
Who needs somebody that can feel your pain?
Who needs the disappointment, of a telephone call, not I
No I don't need that at all, not I
10. You Wouldn't Like Me - Tegan and Sara
I know all the words
I cant say that I'll love you forever
I wont say that I'll love you forever
11. The Girl In The Dirty Shirt - Oasis
Is would you maybe, come dancing me
Cause to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
Knows exactly what she's worth to me!
That I can see, I can see
12. Jane - Ben Folds
You're worried there might not be
Anything at all inside
But that you're worried
Should tell you that's not right
Don't try to see yourself
The way that others do
It's no use
13. Remember Me As A Time Of The Day - Explosions In The Sky
Instrumental
PS: There are, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, a couple of songs in Portuguese. So, if anyone wants an entire translation of them, ask away! ;)
