symphony x'in "twilight in olympus" albümünde yer alan ve canlı olarak dinlemesi de ayrı bir keyif veren harika parça:

smoke and mirrors

it's all perpetual dreams, this hidden life ain't what it seems
walking dead we are
victims of misfortune and lies, and tortured bringers of demise
circling above like vultures

they reap the harvest that we sew and take, like trusting fools
promising charade
all days now disappear from weeks to months, from months to years
forever bound, shackled to the wall

the night falls, i've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky
the night calls, i feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes
touched by the kiss of the sunrise

live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors
try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors

sacred and serpentine, a hypnotizing twisted theme
weaves our souls to roar
like candles in the wind, our echoed cries above the din
fade into this faceless sculpture

in the wheel of chance and fate, spinning as we watch and wait
a mystery to us all
on the edge of sanity, we tread the seas of destiny
forever bound, silent voices call

the night falls, i've seen 1000 moons rising in the sky
the night calls, i feel the midnight as it slowly cloaks my eyes
touched by the kiss of the sunrise

live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors
try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors

live with shadows and fears--behind smoke and mirrors
try to turn back the years--living inside smoke and mirrors

ohh.....the night calls

"mecburiyetten los angeles'ta bulunan yazar" temalı öyküleri the goldfish pool and other stories ile murder mysteries kanımca en iyi öyküleri olan derleme. bir de şiirler gerçekten kötü.

jamiroquai'nin rock dust light star albümündeki üçüncü ve bence en güzel şarkısı.

sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun ekolü:

stop what you're doing get into this groove
can't you see the signs?
carried away on a wave of devotion with music pumping
the lights are shining so bright

stop what you're doing get into this groove
can't you see the signs?

slip on out and slip on into his shoes
he dances like a plasticine machine
some guys seize the day
some guys got the way
sweet old-school attraction

he wants your lovin tonight

he tells you you're no cheapskate reproduction
you're sure that he must be the real thing
well you're damned if you do
and you're damned if you don't
'cos your friends don't like his haircut

but he wants your lovin tonight

oh seven brides might meet the seven brothers
that doesn't mean that you are one of them
seventeen other lovers left the scene
but you don't think that you're the ge-between
girl think about it

he wants your lovin tonight

oh those days turn into years and you did nothing
and now you wish you'd been left out there on the shelf
baby you're an angel
doin' things for him and not yourself

those flaming eyes that flicker in the fast lane
don't tell of broken hearts he's left behind
it's hard not to succumb
but you were stuck under his thumb
you won't have a word of it
your mama's going out of her mind

this is not the thing she wanted for ya
chained up to the kitchen sink of life
thirteen years of negligence
but you're too far in to jump the fence
i bet you rule the day
when you took his lovin' that night

so hard for you to see through smoke and mirrors
how come you never look before you leap
oh well baby you're an angel
you didn't know he's playing this for keeps

did you see the good the bad the ugly
they told you it was far too far to drop
oh baby you're an angel
crying on a shoulder made of rock

ahh, ahh, he wants your lovin'...
tonight my dear, tonight your lovin'
he wants your lovin' tonight
(repeat)

not: copy paste'in ustasıyım, gözlerinin hastasıyım.

gotye'den olanını insan dinledikçe dinlemek istiyor resmen. içine çeken bir şarkı. dinlemek isteyene link.

suits'in 2.sezon başlangıcına öyle güzel gitmiştir ki, bölüm biter ama smoke and mirrors dinlemek pek bitecek gibi değildir. gotye'nin somebody that i used to know şarkısını her yerde görmekten bıktığınızı biliyorum sevgili suserlar, ama buna da bi bakın derim.

gotye-smoke and mirrors sozleri asagidaki gibidir, muhtesemdir

you're a fraud and you know it
but it's too good to throw it all away
anyone would do the same
you've got 'em going
and you're careful not to show it
sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
it's like magic
but it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
anyone would do the same

so now that you've arrived well you wonder
what is it that you've done to make the grade
and should you do the same?
(is that too easy?)
are you only trying to please them
(will they see then?)
you're desperate to deliver
anything that could give you
a sense of reassurance
when you look in the mirror

such highs and lows
you put on quite a show
all these highs and lows
and you're never really sure
what you do it for
well do you even want to know?
you put on quite a show

(mother)
are you watching?
are you watching?
(mother)
are you watching?
(mother)

you're a fraud and you know it
and every night and day you take the stage
and it always entertains
you're giving pleasure
and that's admirable, you tell yourself
and so you'd gladly sell yourself
to others

(mother)
are you watching?
(mother)
are you watching?
(mother)
are you watching?
(mother)
are you watching?

such highs and lows
you put on quite a show
all these highs and lows
and you're never really sure
what you do it for
well do you even want to know?
yeah you put on quite a show

buram buram kalite kokan bir gotye şarkısı.özellikle bir giriş kısımı vardır ki insanı gaza getirir.

(copten camurdan adam - 26 Haziran 2013 14:08)

geç fark edilen, single değil de albüm dinle! diye kendi kendime nasihat vermeme sebep gotye şarkısı.

ayrıca suits'in ikinci sezonun birinci bölümünde kullanılmasıyla en güzel şarkıların genelde bu bölüme ayrıldığı teorisini bi kez daha kanıtlamıştır.

(galas - 30 Eylül 2013 19:41)

rjd2 olan için 2 kelam edilmek istenirse; aşırı derecede unkle; ancak unkle ibnesi o kadar uzun süredir bir bok yapmıyor ki; resmen vaha gibi şu şarkı.

şöyle cool, hayatın fon müziği olabilecek şarkılar yapsınlar biraz. hakkaten özledik böylelerini.

(morfar - 11 Ocak 2015 23:13)

özellikle intro'su, malmsteen'i kıskandıracak sweep'lerle bezenmiş symphony x şarkısı. the divine wings of tragedy, the odyssey gibi "senfoni" ler hariç en iyi syphony x şarkısı bile olabilir hatta..
