let's pretend

• cineramanın güzel parçalarındandır
  
  and it might seem unorthodox
  but i am trying to remove all traces of your personality
  so i'm sending you a box
  full of stuff you left when you decided that you'd had enough of me
  
  so here are your things starting with a pair of earrings
  and i just bet this is your corrs cassette
  
  it might sound a little lame
  but we had something so good that i don't want to remember any more
  because whatever it became
  it started out as something that i've never quite experienced before
  
  i put this in because it looked feminine
  i'm not quite sure if it was mine or yours
  
  can we pretend we never met?
  pretend there's nothing to forget
  can we pretend we weren't in love?
  let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of
  
  and now that i've begun i'm finding things everywhere
  when i think that i am done, i'll find some underwear
  
  can we pretend we never met?
  pretend there's nothing to forget
  can we pretend we weren't in love?
  let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of

• lets pretend kanımca tindersticksin en hüzünlü ve buruk parçalarından biridir; hatta belki de ta kendisidir. hele ki kötü bi zamanda yakalasın sizi, içiniz parçalanır, karnınıza ağrılar girer falan filan. ama süper parçadır müzikal olarak o ayrı.
• bu isimdeki iki şarkıdan hem tindersticks 'inki hem de cinerama'nınki farklı tonlarda ve ruh hallerinde gitseler -götürseler- de çok güzeldirler, dinlenmelidirler.
• sarkilarin paylastirilmasi gibi bi olayin gerceklesmesi durumunda, benim haneme yazilmasini siddetle isteyecegim tindersticks parcasi.

• life of agony'nin 95 çıkışlı ugly albümünün 5. ve efsanevi şarkısı.
  bir anneye yazılmış en güzel şarkılardan.
  
  in the stilness of the night my eyes are closed.
  my mouth is wide.
  i could see her face.
  her beautifull hair i could recognize.
  she looks at me cold.
  she probably don't know who i am.
  mommy it is me, it's keith.
  you had me back when...
  but sometimes i like to pretend, that she
  knows me, that she holds me.
  sometimes i like to pretend, that she
  knows me, that she holds me.
  i guess i can't, 'cause she doesn't know who i am.

  my mind it's dreaming, god it's so misleading.
  do you thing it's 'cause i've grown old.
  is it true that what i was told?
  you cried to leave me?
  you know i know it's not your fault.
  you had a husband who was selfish and cold.
  believe me i know.
  and now i hear you used to treat me cold.
  you disappeared and left me all alone.
  i'm sure you didn't know right from wrong.
  'cause both of you were always getting stoned.
  but sometimes i like to pretend.
  but sometimes i like to pretend, that she knows me
  sometimes i like to pretend, that she holds me.
  sometimes i like to pretend, that she knows me.
  sometimes i like to pretend, that she holds me.
  i guess i can't, 'cause she doesn't know who i am.
• içimden bir parçayı koparıp götüren en güzel tindersticks şarkısıdır. diğeri de can we start again'dir. öyleymiş gibi yapalım, nasıl olsa bir şey ifade etmiyor demek yeter de artar bazen.
  
  30 yaşıma girdim gireli beni yavaş yavaş öldüren adamlar bunlar. dövücem hepsini.
• yaşadığın yalınkat hayatın komik, absürd gerçekliğinden kurtaran; karnaval havası estiren, dağıtan, darmaduman eden bir parçadır.
• yakın zamanda okuyup bitirdiğim ve bana çok şeyler ifade eden bizim büyük çaresizliğimiz adlı kitabımdan öğrendiğim tindersticks şarkısı. dinlediğim ilk tindersticks şarkısı olması, kitabı okurken dinlemiş olmam ve başlı başına şarkının kendisinin eşsizliği onu mükemmel yapıyor benim için.
