Letra da Semana - Jenny Owen Youngs - Voice On Tape

A cantora que venho apresentar hoje conheci por recomendação do last.fm. Ouvindo a radio de similares a Kate Nash apareceu a música Fuck Was I da Jenny Owen Youngs. Não cheguei a esperar o final da música para procurar mais sobre a cantora na net e acabei me deparando com essa música no Youtube. E ela não sai da minha cabeça desde então.

Achei essa gravação da Regina Spektor que aparece no começo da música totalmente genial. A Regina até na secretaria eletrônica consegue ser fofa. Recomendo começar escutando o album Batten the Hatches nele estão as músicas Fuck Was I e Voice on Tape.




Voice On Tape 

Voice of Regina Spektor:
Jenny, um, I don't know if that's you, because that didn't sound like you, but you know, it's a funny world where machines could replace people. Whoever that was, tell Jenny that Regina called her. And P.S. I can't believe what he did

All the evidence points in one direction
Says I don't need you physically around
I've got your voice on tape
I've got your words in me
I don't want anything else
I don't want anyone else
Thing that I had but I dropped
All that I had but I dropped
I want you back and forth
I want you up and down
I want you inside out

Regina:
I was hoping you could keep me company for the ride home, but it's okay if you're sleeping

I've got your voice on tape
I've got your words in me
I don't want anything else
I don't want anyone else

And you say that I don't have this down
I've been practicing out loud

Other Voice:
[garbled] I just wanted to call to say hi, and um, I think I might bring Marissa and Tracy up to Topeka[garbled]

I want you back and forth
I want you up and down
I want you back and forth
(I've got your voice on tape)
I want you up and down
(I've got your words in me)
I want you back and forth
(Thing that I had but I dropped)

I don't want anyone
I don't need anyone else
(All that I had but I dropped)

I've got your voice on tape
I've got your words in me
I've got your voice on tape
(I've got your words in me)
I've got your words in me
(I've got your voice on tape)
I've got your voice on tape
(I've got your words in me)
I've got your words in me
(I've got your voice on tape
I don't want anything else
I don't need anyone else)

All the evidence points in one direction
Says I don't need you physically around
