Noire - He's My Baby
A banda, formada em Sydney em 2014, criou este álbum após um período de isolamento rural, resultando num som "reverb-heavy" comparado a Mazzy Star e à estética de David Lynch.
'He's My Baby' é a segunda faixa do álbum de estreia de NOIRE, Some Kind of Blue, lançado em 29 de setembro de 2017.
O teledisco foi filmado no Avalon Restaurant, em Katoomba (nas Blue Mountains, Austrália), o que explica a vibe de "cidade pequena isolada" que a música transmite.
A estética visual é fortemente inspirada no cinema, especificamente no filme Coffee and Cigarettes de Jim Jarmusch.

The Psychedelic Furs - Angels Don't Cry
I try to remember a kiss
And I only get sorrow
And yesterday's faded away
Now there's only tomorrow
And everything passes and changes
And comes to an end I know
But nothing is written but old news
Again and again
I know that it's true
There's too many tears
But angels don't cry
Now I see a face in your eyes
But you don't remember my name
We're always a step out of time
Now ain't that a shame
And you've been alone for too long
And nobody cries
If you want to see all of my tears
Take a look in your eyes
I know that it's true
Believe it or not
But angels don't cry
I know that it's true
There's too many tears
But angels don't cry
I could walk away
Or I could walk on by
Or make it all come true
Or say it's all a lie
There's no more tears
When you're out of time
And I might fade away tonight
If you close your eyes
I know that it's true
Believe it or not
But angels don't cry
I know that it's true
There's too many tears
But angels don't cry
I could walk away
I could walk on by
Or make it all come true
Or say it's all a lie
Lançada em 1987 no álbum Midnight to Midnight, "Angels Don't Cry" dos The Psychedelic Furs explora temas de perda, nostalgia e resiliência emocional perante o fim de um relacionamento. A letra reflete a dificuldade em reter memórias felizes, como um beijo que só traz tristeza, contrastando a fragilidade humana com a ideia de que "anjos não choram", simbolizando força interior ou aceitação inevitável.
Os versos iniciais evocam saudosismo por momentos fugazes que se dissipam com o tempo, como "ontem desvaneceu, agora só resta amanhã". O refrão reforça a dualidade entre lágrimas excessivas humanas e a impassibilidade angelical, sugerindo necessidade de superação apesar da solidão e crise emocional ("sempre um passo fora do tempo")

45 anos sem Ian Curtis
A última foto de Ian Curtis, tirada na manhã de 15 de Maio de 1980, para o passaporte daquela que iria ser a primeira digressão americana dos Joy Division. Como se sabe Curtis nunca chegou a fazer essa viagem porque, dias depois, há 45 anos, pôs fim à vida. Os Joy Division, como uma vez disse Peter Hook foram “profissionais” apenas durante os 6 meses anteriores à morte de Curtis, porque todos eles tinham ocupações profissionais antes. Se pensarmos bem provavelmente nunca existiu outra banda tão influente nos desenvolvimentos da música popular, ainda hoje com um legado muito potente, tendo sido “profissional” apenas seis meses.
Na noite do dia 17 de maio, dias antes do início da primeira turnê do Joy Division nos Estados Unidos, Ian assistiu a um de seus filmes favoritos, Stroszek, de Werner Herzog, enquanto ouvia Weeping, momentos antes de se enforcar, falou por telefone com Genesis P-Orridge. E nas primeiras horas da manhã do dia 18 de maio, Ian enforcou-se em sua cozinha, utilizando uma corda que sustentava o varal de roupas, segundo se conta, ouvindo o disco The Idiot, primeiro lançamento do cantor norte-americano Iggy Pop. Os pontos de vista e as preferências de Ian Curtis continuam a gerar especulações sobre as reais razões pelas quais ele resolveu tirar a própria vida. Alguns dizem que ele simplesmente desejou morrer jovem. Mas o fato é que Ian já era conturbado na sua adolescência, com pensamentos e ideologias de contracultura, uma mente provavelmente já farta do mundo ao seu redor.

David Bowie’s unlikely love for Frank Auerbach
In true avant-garde rock tradition, David Bowie had gone to art school before becoming the Starman who took over the airwaves. His love of art is well-established and primarily evident in his ever-changing aesthetic, which saw him blend the visual world with the sonic. Outside of his prolific music career, he collected and produced art, developing a fascination with outsider artists that often touched his sound.
In 1998, he admitted that art gave him a sense of stability, saying: “Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own.” It had immense power over him, dictating his morning mood and nourishing his soul. “The same work can change me in different ways, depending on what I’m going through,” he told the New York Times.
“For instance, somebody I like very much indeed is Frank Auerbach,” he continued. “I think there are some mornings that if we hit each other a certain way – myself and a portrait by Auerbach – the work can magnify the kind of depression I’m going through.”
Auerbach’s work is often said to have this effect on viewers, compared to Lucian Freud – who Bowie noted didn’t live up to his reputation as the “greatest” contemporary painter – and Francis Bacon. His portraits are expressionist, the paint laid on so thick his subjects are barely recognisable as faces.
That ambiguity and frenzied painting style gave “spiritual weight” to Bowie’s angst. “Some mornings, I’ll look at it and go: ‘Oh, God, yeah! I know!’ But that same painting, on a different day, can produce in me an incredible feeling of the triumph of trying to express myself as an artist. I can look at it and say: ‘My God, yeah! I want to sound like that looks.'”
To that end, Bowie discussed his part in the glam rock generation, who famously didn’t see a divide between audio and visual art, joking that in the mid-60s, there was a running joke that if you wanted to become a skilled rhythm and blues player, you went to art school. “You know, 25 years ago, there were a whole crop of us that tried to drag all the arts together and create this potpourri, a kind of new essence for English music,” he mused.
He recalled conversations at art school and how the avante-garde artists always dominated discussion. For his part, he was drawn to Expressionists and remembered “an awful lot of Dada” popping up too. The love of boundary-pushing art followed him into his music career. However, he never considered the two as separate forces – it was that the passionate response art stirred in him was something to be continued in his music.
“I always want a certain abstraction,” he explained. “Art should be open enough for me to develop my own dialogue with it.”

Nico - Evening of Light
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
[Verse 1]
A true story wants to be mine
A true story wants to be mine
The story is telling a true lie
The story is telling a true lie
Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing
Mandolins are ringing to his viol singing
[Chorus]
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
[Verse 2]
Dungeons sink in to a slumber till the end of time
Dungeons sink in to a slumber till the end of time
Petrel sings, the doorbells pound into the unlit end of time
Petrel sings, the doorbells pound into the unlit end of time
[Chorus]
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
[Verse 3]
In the morning of my winter
When my eyes are still asleep
In the morning of my winter
When my eyes are still asleep
A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow
I'll send to kiss your heart for me
A dragonfly lady in a coat of snow
I'll send to kiss your heart for me
[Chorus]
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
[Verse 4]
The children are jumping in the evening of light
The children are jumping in the evening of light
The peasants' hands are heavy in the evening of light
The peasants' hands are heavy in the evening of light
[Chorus]
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Midnight winds are landing at the end of time
Significado da Canção
Promo video for Nico’s “Evening of Light” directed by François De Menil in 1969, but probably finished much later. There was a tantalizingly brief clip of this in the Nico: Icon documentary. Not the album version of the song appearing on The Marble Index, this alternate take was released as part of The Frozen Borderline: 1968–1970 compilation in 2007.
The story is told in Richard Witts’ (fantastic) Nico biography, Nico: The Life and Lies of an Icon, that De Menil, heir to the Schlumberger Limited oil-equipment fortune via his mother’s family, who knew Nico via Warhol associate Fred Hughes, had become besotted by the Teutonic ice queen and proposed making a film with her.
At this time Nico was having a brief affair with a 21-year-old Iggy Pop, who she had met through John Cale, then producing the first Stooges album in New York. (Iggy once revealed to a French interviewer that Nico taught him how to “eat pussy.”). Nico told De Menil that he had to follow them to Ann Arbor, Michigan if he wanted to do it. De Menil obliged, shooting the film behind the house where the band lived.
