&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canções Para Amantes Suicidas" é o álbuns de estreia de um vocalista enigmático e solitário.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;O lado negro de Shamus.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Apesar de viver uma vida que só podia ter vindo de ficção e estando envolvido com música durante décadas, esta é a primeira vez que um projeto de gravação caracterizado por Shamus viu a luz do dia. E como tal foi um trabalho de amor, em que Shamus decidiu registar as canções que profundamente o afectaram durante todo os seus anos turbulentos.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Embora sejam canções do Século 20, Shamus foi categórico na escolha de que os arranjos devem soar algo inteiramente novo e actualAssim, canções originalmente associadas com Sinatra assim como outros clássicos tão diversos como Chet baker, Carlos jobin, Hank Willams, e Joe division, o álbum realmente é realmente diferente e mostra uma visão totalmente nova de todas as canções que apresenta. Organizado e misturado por produtor de Hong Pete Millward, distribuido na Ásia perla Celestial álbuns (veja www.hongkongdubstation.com), o álbum inclui sons tão diverso quanto Sitar, Shakuhachi e Erhu, assim como violão de jazz, trombeta e batidas de Hip-hop e no topo de tudo isso a voz de um Shamus, doce triste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Como Shamus , é um álbum com um lado negro,mas não para desmaios ou falhas cardiacas.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Arquivo: Escutar vagarosamente.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
"Canciones para los amantes suicidas" es el álbum debut de un cantante enigmático y solitario.&lt;br /&gt;
Shamus Dark: Apesar de vivir una vida que sólo podía provenir de la ficción y estar involucrado con la música durante décadas, esta es la primera vez que un proyecto de grabación con Shamus vio la luz del día. Y como tal, fue un labor de amor,donde Shamus decidió grabar las canciones que lo afectó profundamente a lo largo de sus años turbulentos.&lt;br /&gt;
Aunque las canciones del siglo 20, Shamus se mantuvo firme en la elección que el régimen debe sonar algo totalmente nuevo yactual&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Así, las canciones originalmente asociada con Sinatra y otros clásicos tan diversos como Chet Baker, Carlos Jobin, Hank Willams, Joe  division, hace un álbum  muy diferente y realmente muestra un nuevo aspecto en todas las canciones presentadas.Arreglado y mezclado por el productor de Hong Kong MillwardPete, conocido en Asia Celestial álbumes bolas (verwww.hongkongdubstation.com), el álbum incluye sonidos tan diversos como el sitar, Shakuhachi y erhu, así como de trompeta,guitarra de jazz, y ritmos de hip-y saltar por encima de todo esto la voz de un Shamus, dulce triste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Como Shamus, es un álbum con un lado oscuro, pero no condesmayos o insuficiencia cardíaca.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Biography&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Songs For Suicidal Lovers” is the debut album from enigmatic and reclusive vocalist, Shamus Dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring songs originally associated with by Frank Sinatra, as well as other classics from writers and performers as diverse as Chet Baker, Carlos Jobim, Hank Willams, and Joy Division, the album really is a different take on what has gone before.&lt;br /&gt;
Arranged and mixed by Hong Kong producer Pete Millward, known in Asia for his Celestial series of albums (see www.hongkongdubstation.com), the album includes sounds as diverse as Sitar, Shakuhachi and Erhu, as well as jazz guitar, trumpet and Hip-Hop beats. And over the top of all that, Shamus’s sad sweet voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Shamus himself, it’s a Dark album, not for the faint of heart.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Em redor de uma 9pm foi criada uma metragem a preto-e-branco e numa película convenientemente dramática, o lado negro de Shamus mostra o que vale e acompanhado apenas por um Mac pequeno, apresenta, á sua maneira uma seleção de canções do seu álbum de estréia -Canções para Amantes Suicidas.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;O jogo consiste em interpretações taciturnas de "noir clássico", principalmente dos anos 30 e 40, mas o que é inteiramente inesperado e em que o apoio musical é um jogo de sombras em electrónica ambiental (penso que os Massive attack se encontraram aqui com com Scott Walker) com um som de saxofone triste, piano e batidas num jeito de melancólica viagem.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Se nada mais se revelar neste album revela-se e rápidamente o amor pela era dourada do "song writing" mais absolutamente genuíno.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Observar este desempenho é como observar um pouco de uma película muito antiga, brilhante apesar da sua passagem através do tempo, só possivel de encontrar numa Londres moderna de hoje em dia. É ímpar e totalmente apaixonante. Fácilmente se pode dizer deste Shamus Dark que é muito muito bom. "&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;O Johnny Outros www.indieoma.com&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Organizado e misturado por Pete Millward de Kong de Hong (o homem atrás da série de excelente de álbuns de Celestial)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;e caracterizando a entrada de herói de violão Eugene Pao , o álbum mostra um lado negro muitas emoções viajam através de versões tão diversas quanto as Sinatra e Joe division".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If nothing else, it quickly becomes apparent that at the very least, Dark's love of the golden era of songwriting is genuine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Shamus Dark e um homem discreto, simples na forma como expõe o que ama e Shamus ama as canções onde o ouro das memórias se mistura a um tempo antigo onde o magico se misturava nas esquinas deslumbradas pelo futuro.&lt;br /&gt;
Na sua voz pode encontrar-se, se se prestar atençao, a melancolia de um paraiso outrora recheado de esperanças e expectativas mas que para sempre se perdeu no meio das cinzas e do barulho tonitroante de bombas e explosoes de guerra.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Shamus Dark canta o amor.&lt;br /&gt;
Canto um pouco triste e certo mas cheio ainda da maravilhosa sensaçao do que se viveu e de como se viveu.&lt;br /&gt;
Uma voz intensa, magnifica na sua intensa simplicidade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Momentos de ouro numa voz de mestre.&lt;br /&gt;
A ensinar como na memória tudo permanece.Intacto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Despite living a life that could only have come from fiction (see www.shamusdark.com), and being involved with music for decades, this is the first time that a recording project featuring Shamus has seen the light of day. And as such it has been a labour of love, on which Shamus decided he must record the songs that had most deeply affected him throughout his turbulent years. Although it features songs from nearly every decade of the 20th Century, Shamus was also categorical that the arrangements should sound like nothing that has gone before: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I've heard all these 'Standards' albums by these young upstarts where they just take Nelson's old arrangements and re-record them--what's the point in that! If I want to hear Frank, I'll listen to Frank (and I've spent many years doing that), but I'm bollixed if I'm going to sing like him. Don't get me wrong - I love the man - but this album is SHAMUS DARK--that's me folks!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Featuring many songs originally associated with Frank Sinatra, as well as other classics from writers and performers as diverse as Chet Baker, Carlos Jobim, Hank Willams, and Joy Division, the album really is a different take on what has gone before. Arranged and mixed by Hong Kong producer Pete Millward, known in Asia for his Celestial series of albums (see www.hongkongdubstation.com), the album includes sounds as diverse as Sitar, Shakuhachi and Erhu, as well as jazz guitar, trumpet and down-tempo break-beats. And over the top of all that, Shamus's sad sweet voice. &lt;br /&gt;Like Shamus himself, it's a Dark album, not for the faint of heart. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;File under: Queasy Listening.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8603837591644908725-891442987714602623?l=shamusdark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-04-15T09:51:54.638-07:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><enclosure url="http://widget-e9.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" length="97394" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /><media:content url="http://widget-e9.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" fileSize="97394" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle> Songs For Suicidal Lovers is the debut album from enigmatic and reclusive vocalist, Shamus Dark.

&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="color: #d0e0e3; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"&gt;“Songs For Suicidal Lovers”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
is the debut album from previously unheard of and reclusive vocalist, Shamus Dark. Despite living a life that could only have come from fiction (see www.shamusdark.com), and being involved with music for decades, this is the first time that a recording project featuring Shamus has seen the light of day. And as such it has been a labour of love, on which Shamus decided he must record the songs that had most deeply affected him throughout his turbulent years. Although it features songs from nearly every decade of the 20th Century, Shamus was also categorical that the arrangements should sound like nothing that has gone before:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“I’ve heard all these ‘Standards’ albums by these young upstarts where they just take Nelson’s old arrangements and re-record them – what’s the point in that! If I want to hear Frank, I’ll listen to Frank (and I’ve spent many years doing that), but I’m bollixed if I’m going to sing like him. Don’t get me wrong – I love the man – but this album is SHAMUS DARK – that’s me folks!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Featuring songs originally “owned” by Frank Sinatra, as well as other classics from writers and performers as diverse as Chet Baker, Carlos Jobim, Hank Willams, and Joy Division, the album really is a different take on what has gone before. Arranged and mixed by Hong Kong producer Pete Millward, well known in Asia for his Celestial series of albums (see www.hongkongdubstation.com), the album includes sounds as diverse as Sitar, Shakuhachi and Erhu, as well as jazz guitar, trumpet and down-tempo break-beats. And over the top of all that, Shamus’s sad sweet voice.&lt;br /&gt;

DISCOVERING SHAMUS DARK&lt;br /&gt;
by, Flann O’ Neill&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The singer you hear when you listen to Songs For Suicidal Lovers is a man I met two years ago in Georgetown, Penang in Malaysia. It’s one of the former British Straits Settlements, first colonised in the late 19th century, 150km from the capital Kuala Lumpur and about 700km from Singapore. Penang is an island just off the west coast of the Malay Peninsular in the Malacca Straights, a stretch of water that divides the Peninsular from the island of Sumatra. I was on a trip with my wife Suzie, visiting her family. We go there for three months every year; they’re summer months, so the weather is not exactly ideal if you’re averse to rain, but it does give me the opportunity to write and do my translation work without the usual pressures of western city life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dinner one very hot evening, I excused myself and took a walk downtown to whet my thirst and maybe catch some entertainment in Sling Sling’s, probably my favourite bar in the whole of south-east Asia. Situated in the basement of the Hotel Metropole, it’s one of those places you fall in love with the minute you walk through the door; flaky rococo plasterwork, wooden beams, an enormous beaten-copper topped, horseshoe shaped bar and huge electric fans swishing above your head. There are dozens of signed photographs on the walls, mostly of Asian artists, musicians and film stars going right back to the 1930’s. But there are also signed pictures of Hemingway, Peter Lorre, Josephine Baker, Jacques Brel, Graham Green, Lotte Lenya and Jean Gabin. Whether all these people actually frequented or gave performances in Sling Sling’s is a moot point, but legends do tend to become more firmly entrenched in people’s minds with the passage of time and Laura, the hotel’s beautiful but mysterious owner, assures me that it’s true and believe me, you don’t argue with this formidable woman. As this town is, quite frankly, off the radar as far as the western world is concerned, I like to think that this wonderfully atmospheric bar is one of the best-kept secrets east of Casablanca. It was here, in the summer of 2004 that I met Shamus Dark.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was a hot and sticky July evening. I’d come to Sling Sling’s that evening at Laura’s request…..&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Aqui ha tempos decidi-me abrir a minha pagina no Myspace.
&lt;br /&gt;Depois de muito pensar e hesitar, que aquilo nao e para gente da minha idade, que o tempo nao chega para tudo e por demais temores e pensamentos afins, la me decidi e timidamente comecei a espreitar o sitio, tentando perceber o que faria se por ali me decidisse a ficar.Achei por bem fazer a pagina o melhor que soubesse e posta essa acçao comecei entao a explorar , começando pelo que mais prazer me da, que e a musica e na musica mais especificamente , o Jazz.
&lt;br /&gt;Fui e claro a procura daqueles que sempre amei e por la os encontrei a todos.
&lt;br /&gt;Miles Davies , Dizzie Gillespie, Chet Baker o Sonny Rollis, Frank Sinatra e claro e imagien-se ate fui dar com a pagina de tributo ao meu querido Luis Villas Boas com quem tanto me for dado partillhar e viver, convivendo.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Foi uma festa e decidi que ter aberto a pagina tinha sido uma das melhores ideias que alguma vez a inspiraços me havia soprado.Depois de adicionar os meus amigos voltei a exploraçao e de repente vi um nome que me chamou a atençao.
&lt;br /&gt;Shamus Dark.
&lt;br /&gt;Um , pensei; este e um daqueles nomes que nos faz sentir uma enorme curiosidade.Pensei logo naquelas epocas em que os filmes ainda eram a preto e branco , onde os misterios se adensavam nas esquinas e onde a musica e misturava aos sons das bombas a cair sobre a Europa.
&lt;br /&gt;Quando entrei no site que me interessara , imediatamente ouvi uma voz extrordinaria.
&lt;br /&gt;Os acordes profundos e sensiveis , aliados a uma tecnica poderosa e a um estilo em tudo original fizeram-me parar imediatamente prestando toda atençao a cançao que ouvia.Os sons do "You Dont know what love is" enchia por completo a minha
&lt;br /&gt;casa e eu ficara absolutamente maravilhada com a descoberta em tudo imprevisivel de alguem que me fazia reviver naquele momento todas as razoes pelas quais o Jazz e todo o ambiente a sua volta haviam sido o meu encanto desde a primeira vez que lhe escutei os acordes.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Ali estava alguem muito especial.Ha medida que escutei todas as cançoes presentes naquela pagina, o meu interesse revelou-se cada vez maior, nao e todos os dias que e descobre um artista excepcional e aquele era-o sem duvida.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Shamus Dark , um interprete em tudo original ,volto a dizer e que em cada uma das canaçoes que canta poem um brilho diferente dando a sua voz como que entonaçoes especiais fazendo de cada uma desas cançoes todo um mundo particuçar onde a nossa imaginaçao pode voar absolutamente livre e capaz de se identificar com cada uma das palaavras.Um cantor que se diz ser de um Jazz Lounge Down-tempo e que nos toca de um modo profundo e muito simples, ele Shamus Dark adora o Jazz e adora o misterio.
&lt;br /&gt;E assim, por me ter decidido a abrir a porta para um mundo desconhecido, me foi dado conhecer um universo inteiro e completamente diferente , onde o prazer do que amei no passado acabou por se ligar ao que me voltou a encantar no presente.Uma voz quente e maravilhosa , que sabe rodear-se de musicos competentes e imaginativos para, dando uma nova vida a essas cançoes cantados noutras epocas e trazendo-as de novo , magicas e eternas a nossa vida.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;E assim terminarei o relato desta minha aventura no Myspace, dizendo:-Shamus Dark, obrigada pela tua voz e pela tua magia, peloa momentos admiraveis em que esse teu album para Amantas Suicidas me fez sonhar, trazendo -me de novo a ideia de um romantismo ritmado, cheio de admiraveis tons a preto e branco.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Aqueles que encontrarem este blog ( por mim dedicado a esse cantor que tanto admiro )
&lt;br /&gt;direi apenas.Procurem ouvir essas cançoes e ficaram , tenho a certeza tao encantados como eu fiquei.Para tal sera apenas necessario que gostem tanto como eu do Jazz e das suas melodias.Neste espçao encontrarao o site do Shamus e as suas musicas, basta um clique para entrar num mundo maravilhoso, um pouco triste  e certo, mas a verdade  e que um poucode tristeza so nao a sente quem nunca amou e o album de que falo e sem duvida um belo album de cançoes com muito amor. 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;....Uma voz profunda , de balada que nos faz lembrar Frank Sinatra e Chet Baker,sao afinal as componentes do tenor Shamus Dark.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;" Esta e uma grande introduçao ao Jazz e mais aindo e sem duvida a Quinta Essencia do que e ser-se Shamus Dark"
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;( um artigo de Simran Panaech )
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;As Cançoes para os Amantes Suicidas, sao uma celebraçao de um jazz que decorre dos anos 30 ate aos anos 90.Este album e feito sobretudo com as legendarias cancoes de epoca agora rearranjado e produzido por Pete Milward, a excepçao de um original.
&lt;br /&gt;Uma verdadeira introduçao a era do Jazz, mas com um toque de modernidade.
&lt;br /&gt;Pode compreender-se isto ouvindo Shamus Dark pois e atraves dele que o album ganha vida.Shamus deseja dirijir-se a uma nova audiencia, mais jovem que nao tenha ainda descoberto os classicos do Jazz e e diso que fala numa recente entrevista conduzida por Jeff Brown na evolutionof-media.com em que fala de cançoes como -"You dont know what Love is"- e -"Good Morning Headache".Este album transporta-me para um tempo em que sons e palavras , apesar de nao me serem completamente familiares me fazem sentir apesar de tudo tocado, porque depois de ouvir Shamus , fiquei intenamente proximo dessas cançoes.Tentativas como as de vocalistas de Jazz modernos como Michael Buble , Jamie Cullum e cantores tentados a cantar Jazz como Robbie Williams e Robert Drowning, nao me deixaram tao sensiveis como este tao interessante Shamus Dark. A sua voz e de um genero e de um estilo inconfundiveis , proximos da lenda e confere a cada uma das cançoes que interpreta um sentido comtemplativo e de ritmo que nos faz sentir a sua necessidade de cantar toda a beleza do  Blues e do Jazz e da sua força.Nos sentimos plenamente Shamus Dark.

Pensei que ele estaria fazendo um tipo de faz de conta de que sou um novo Tom Waits ou algo do generoou algo, tipo voz de entonaçao rouca e cruel. Mas de subito ele começou a cantar. Era a voz de um anjo. Um anjo caído,de olhar profundo, um anjo triste como que saido de subito do "Wings Of Desire" , mas um anjo seguramente. Eu fui completamente transportado nessas asas. De todas as coisas para ouvir em Sling Sling's, no meio de Malásia" tinha que me acontecer aquele anjo de voz extraordinaria e olhar profundo."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN &lt;br /&gt;escrito por --Flann O'Neill,que descobriu Shamus Dark cantando num bar perdido em Sling Sling's em Georgetown, Penang...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.shamusdark.com/"&gt;SHAMUS DARK OFFICIAL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8603837591644908725-7208972184971576296?l=shamusdark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-26T17:57:40.991-07:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">6</thr:total></item><item><title>You Don't Know What Love Is</title><link>http://shamusdark.blogspot.com/2008/07/you-dont-know-what-love-is.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maria Henriques)</author><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:06:49 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603837591644908725.post-6119114160237075489</guid><description>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't know what love is&lt;br /&gt;‘Til you’ve learned the meaning of the blues&lt;br /&gt;Until you’ve loved a love you've had to lose&lt;br /&gt;You don't know what love is &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't know how lips hurt&lt;br /&gt;Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost&lt;br /&gt;Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost&lt;br /&gt;You don't know what love is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know how lost I've been&lt;br /&gt;At the thought of reminiscing&lt;br /&gt;And how lips that taste of tears&lt;br /&gt;Lose their taste for kissing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't know how hearts burn&lt;br /&gt;For love that cannot live yet never dies&lt;br /&gt;Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes&lt;br /&gt;You don't know what love is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't know how hearts burn&lt;br /&gt;For love that cannot live yet never dies&lt;br /&gt;Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes&lt;br /&gt;You don't know what love is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta cançao maravilhosa, escrita e composta pelo dueto:- Gene De Paul e Don Raye,foi canatada pelos maiores , sendo que um dos maiores sucessos se deve a extraordinaria Billie Hollyday que a cantou como ninguem deixando no ar a melodia dramatica cheia da subtileza de uma interpretaçao profunda e pungente.&lt;br /&gt;Shamus acrescenta-lhe o seu proprio ambiente deixando-nos encantar com os perfumes de um oriente misterioso ao mesmo tempo que nos toca com uma voz cheia de entonaçoes onde ao misterio e ao apelo de uma solidao junta a assombrosa capacidade de nos fazer sonhar.Uma cançao antiga que ele canta como nenhum outro juntando a sua propria imaginaçao e talento, recriando completamente algo que poder-se-ia pensar , pelos que no decorrer do tempo as interpretaram, ja nao poderia encantar-nos.&lt;br /&gt;De facto uma cançao belissima que ganah contornos e acordes comp.etamnete novos nesta interpretaçoa magistral de Shamus Dark.Ouçam com atençao e digam-me se nao falo verdade....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8603837591644908725-6119114160237075489?l=shamusdark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-25T08:06:49.651-07:00</app:edited><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">9</thr:total></item><item><title>Las Razones para Ser Alegres</title><link>http://shamusdark.blogspot.com/2008/07/las-razones-para-ser-alegres.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maria Henriques)</author><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 07:29:18 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603837591644908725.post-6588501232560238809</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIc_2dHQGBI/AAAAAAAAAAs/kmY80vN287g/s1600-h/ZZSHAMUS4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

El álbum empieza con esta canzion, porque introduce la idea que no hay nada tan triste, que haber nuetra razon confundida, perdiendo como el a uno que se adora. La canción fue escrita hará ochenta años y el sentimiento es como verdad ahora como fue entonces. La próxima canción, "Usted no Sabe lo Qué es Amor ", deprime aún ainda más y si usted piensa que las cosas no pueden conseguir peor, bien espero por que uno será aliviado por el hecho deso,porque  en este momento, nosotros estamos en un apacible inclinon, pero cuando las cosas continúan, entramos en una caída libre vertical cerca las profundidades de la desesperación y la penumbra, para que, a la última canción, cada alguno de ustedes será sumergido completamente en un océano vasto del desánimo y la melancolía. &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;center&gt;Es aqui después de todo que e dicho, las razones  qué el álbum es llamado "Las Canciones Para Amantes Suicidas". Mi director sugirió la idea de tener un suministro de laminas libres disponibles en el vestíbulo después de cada exposición. El hablaba del material como  "solidaridad emocional" y "desgaste natural", cualquier que eso es. Yo dije que no, no no! La mirada, tanto como yo estoy en el Taponazo de Iggy y todo eso, yo no quiero entrar en todo ese material de  auto-mutilación. La exposición viva tiene que ser una experiencia estrictamente cerebral. Un tipo de la catarsis, o un tipo del exorcismo, si usted quiere, de esos demonios terribles todos nosotros hemos conseguido  alrededor en nuestras cabezas.&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Y eso sólo puede ser logrado por nosotros, consiguiendo totalmente y totalmente vivir miserablemente juntos. Además, yo no quiero recoger la cuenta para el infierno atroz que se habríaria indudablemente en la alfombra de vestíbulo. De hecho y bien, yo sé que se fuera en algunas regiones de los espirito, todos gritan y gimen mucho cuando hay alguna pena para ser desechada. Así, de todos modos, si después de una canción, cualquiera de usted se siente completamente derrotado emocionalmente, quiero que se siente libre dy chillar y gritar y gemir tanto lo quiera. &lt;br /&gt;Sé que a menudo algunos se arriban contra una pared, así que todo usted tiene que hacer es poner su cabeza en una pared de su sala, o e en el dormitorio, o en el lavabo, o dondequiera que  usted escucha la música, donde usted puede berrear el corazón fuera después de cada canción. &lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Sí, cerebral es la palabra my damas y caballeros . &lt;br /&gt;E me hace sonreir,las primeras pocas exposiciones que hice; bien, pienso que la audiencia esperaba que yo cortaria mis manos al fin - usted sabe, un tipo de final espectacular. Había, de hecho, un par de tipos que ofrecieron hacer el trabajo para mí. Pero ahora, bien trato de atraer una más alta  clase de  audiencia intelectual. Juzgaando por el idioma utilizado en la mayor parte de las cartas que usted ha enviado, bien puedo decir que ustedes saben su pequeno Proust e su Goethe. &lt;br /&gt;La mayor parte de usted probablemente tiene una guapa colección de DVD del Instituto Cinematográfico Sueco y yo apuesto algunos de ustedes tiene aún un facsímile miniatura de los mármoles del Partenón también, eh? &lt;br /&gt;Bien, para el no iniciado, si usted quiere las películas de Ingmar Bergman, yo sé &lt;br /&gt;que iran a adorar el álbum. &lt;br /&gt;Es muy oscuro con absolutamente ninguno sentido del humor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.alivenotdead.com/shamusdark"&gt;SHAMUS DARK OFFICIAL BLOG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8603837591644908725-6588501232560238809?l=shamusdark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-23T07:29:18.960-07:00</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://bp2.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIc_2dHQGBI/AAAAAAAAAAs/kmY80vN287g/s72-c/ZZSHAMUS4.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total></item><item><title>l'oscuro y mágico shamus dark </title><link>http://shamusdark.blogspot.com/2008/07/loscuro-y-mgico-shamus-dark.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maria Henriques)</author><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:11:37 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603837591644908725.post-4153326597094408005</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIcvuRG-NpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/kGwpJc666ew/s1600-h/ZZSHAMUS3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIcvuRG-NpI/AAAAAAAAAAk/kGwpJc666ew/s320/ZZSHAMUS3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226198364499883666" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A veces nosotros encontramos algunos gran lugares en la internet.
&lt;br /&gt;Lugares que nos da las razones para mantener vistitando y adorarando cada de ellos.Lugares de plazer, que nos traen revelaciones maravillosas de gran artistas.Esto es sin duda el caso  del Sitio  de la Oscuridad de Shamus Dark donde encontre sus canciones y su voz, un lugar absolutamente asombroso que me da razones para continúa pensando del arte como la mejor calidad de la humanidad y su capacidad de encantar. Este hombre  es uno de esas personas. El estilo y las elecciones de las canciones, la forma como él los interpreta mezclando el sonido algo oriental y una melancolía profunda, hacen su primer álbum algo muy especial. Tiene hermosas canciones que ya fueron interpretados por maestros grandes, toda venida de gran compositores, parte del mejor entre sus pares. &lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;"" Las Canciones dellos Amantes Suicidas" ou en ingles-""Songs For Suicidal Lovers"&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Es por lo tanto un álbum fabuloso donde uno se encuentra arriba con una voz muy particular, artistas especiales y fantásticos,  arreglos musicales de primera calidad y cançones absolutamente maravillosas de compositores  como Vinicius de Morais y Tom Jobin. &lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&lt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;Un álbum con canciones d encanto eterno interpretado por uno oscuro Shamus Dark,encantando absolutamente. Una voz que persiste como una manera inspirada de recriar esas hermosas y  mágicas canciones. &lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Sometimes we find some great places on the internet.Places that gives reasons to keep visting and loving every minute of it.Places that bring us marvelous revelations of great artists.This is the case of of Shamus Dark's Website where i found his songs and his voice, an absolutely amazing place that gives me reasons for continue to think about art as the best quality of humanity and its magnificent possibilities. This man of im writting about is one of those persons. The style and the choices of the songs, the form as he interprets them mixing somewhat oriental sound and a deep melancholy, makes his first album very special.
&lt;br /&gt;It has beautiful songs that were already interpreted by big masters, all coming from great composers, some of the best between their pairs . &lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;"" Songs Will Go Suicidal Lovers""
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Is therefore an exquisite album where do we find up to date with a voice in everything special, fantastic artists musicals arrangements of first quality and cançoes absolutely marvelous of Brasilian composers such as Vinicius of Morais and Tom Jobin. &lt;/center&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&lt;An album to be heard in all moments. With eternal songs of a great beauty and an exquisite voice of the most enchaiting and melodic sounds.
&lt;br /&gt;An album with songs of eternal charm interpreted by a Shamus Dark absolutely charming.
&lt;br /&gt;A voice that persists as an inspired way of recreating those beautiful and magical songs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8603837591644908725-8466445971867751628?l=shamusdark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-23T05:56:43.966-07:00</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://bp1.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIcqLTjTj7I/AAAAAAAAAAM/pIdOb0zXLgE/s72-c/ZZSHAMUS.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">5</thr:total></item><item><title>o misterioso shamus dark ou arte da entoaçao melancolica</title><link>http://shamusdark.blogspot.com/2008/07/o-misterioso-shamus-dark-ou-arte-da.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maria Henriques)</author><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:14:42 PDT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603837591644908725.post-3184929620341807572</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIcuvEtCcSI/AAAAAAAAAAc/8PTAq_BDnFA/s1600-h/ZZSHAMUS2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIcuvEtCcSI/AAAAAAAAAAc/8PTAq_BDnFA/s320/ZZSHAMUS2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226197278838124834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quer se queira quer nao, a internet e os seus lugares podem trazer-nos revelaçoes maravilhosas.E o caso do myspace onde ja encontrei artistas absolutamente espantosos,&lt;br /&gt;cujo talento inspirador me oferece razoes para continuar a pensar o melhor da humanidade e suas grandiosas possibilidades.&lt;br /&gt;Este homem de que falo e uma dessas pessoas.&lt;br /&gt;Artista obscuro, pouco dado a fama e as publicidades e alguem que viveu uma vida cheia de aventuras e por vezes algo atribulada, que num capitulo da sua vida decidiu ir viver para o japao onde continuou a cantar em lugares ainda mais obscuros que ele proprio ate que um jornalista viria a descobrir-lhe a voz e encantamento.&lt;br /&gt;E de facto um interprete de superior qualidade.&lt;br /&gt;O estilo e as escolhas das cançoes , a forma como as interpreta misturando-lhes um som algo oriental e uma profunda melancolia fazem dele alguem que se ouve com um enorme prazer.O seu primeiro album e muito especial.&lt;br /&gt;Tem cançoes que foram interpretadas por grandes mestres, todas elas de grandes compositores , alguns dos melhores entre pares e quando se arriscam grandes mestres num primeiro album revela-se entre outras qualidades, uma profunda coragem.&lt;br /&gt;-""Songs For Suicidal Lovers""-e pois um album admiravel onde encontramos a par de uma voz em tudo muitissimo especial, grandes arranjos musicais de artistas de primeira agua.&lt;br /&gt;E cançoes absolutamente maravilhosas de compositores que desde sempre me maravilharam,entre os quais Vinicius de Morais e Tom Jobin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um album para se ouvir em todos os momentos.&lt;br /&gt;Um album com cançoes de charme eterno interpretadas por um shamus dark absolutamente encantador.&lt;br /&gt;Que a sua voz persista e continue a maravilhar sao os meus desejos.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8603837591644908725-3184929620341807572?l=shamusdark.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2008-07-23T06:14:42.565-07:00</app:edited><media:thumbnail url="http://bp3.blogger.com/_K4XTenuwN6o/SIcuvEtCcSI/AAAAAAAAAAc/8PTAq_BDnFA/s72-c/ZZSHAMUS2.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">8</thr:total></item><media:rating>nonadult</media:rating></channel></rss>
