A Paixão de Cristo - Canções



"A Paixão de Cristo - Canções", lançado em 2004, é uma bela coleção de grandes canções, cada um à sua maneira uma reação à espectacular ao filme que Mel Gibson criou. O diretor Mel Gibson leva às telas as últimas 12 horas da vida de Jesus Cristo, antes de sua crucificação. Com James Caviezel e Monica Bellucci. Recebeu 3 indicações ao Oscar, como: Melhor Fotografia, Melhor Maquiagem e Melhor Trilha Sonora.

A Paixão de Cristo é inteiramente falado em aramaico e latim, línguas usadas na época de Jesus Cristo. Inicialmente era intenção de Mel Gibson que o filme não tivesse legendas, com a linguagem corporal contando a história, mas posteriormente decidiu por inserir legendas em algumas cenas. O orçamento de A Paixão de Cristo foi de US$ 25 milhões. As filmagens de "A Paixão de Cristo" ocorreram em Roma. A cena da crucificação de Cristo levou 2 semanas até ser concluída da forma que Mel Gibson queria.

O CD Passion of the Christ: Songs traz 12 músicas inspiradas no filme Paixão de Cristo. Estes artistas escreveram suas músicas depois que viram o filme para reflectir os seus sentimentos e reflexões suscitada desta incrível experiência.

Ao contrário da trilha sonora real e as outras coleções canções que foram emitidas como parte do marketing de Mel Gibson está o mega-sucesso Paixão de Cristo do filme, este volume das músicas foram supostamente inspirado pela narrativa cinematográfica, após ter sido encomendado a Icon Productions. Como tal, esta é uma mistura composta, em sua maioria por artistas gospeis contemporâneos. Faixas por Kirk Franklin, Bebe Winans e Lauryn Hill, POD e MXPX.

Este é um CD de grande variedade, com diferentes estilos musicais, surpreende com a forma de combinar diferente gêneros musicais. Existem músicas de vários géneros musicais: Rock, Adult Contemporary (inc. País), e Urbano, variam em intensidade e estilo dentro do gênero.



"O Império" por MXPX e Mark Hoppus do Blink182 é fantástico. POD também está lá com o seu mais recente hit, "realmente incrível". É uma metáfora da exploração do "amor à caído" demonstrado de forma dramática na Paixão filme. Pop/Country tocado por Brad Paisley e Sara Evans' dueto que traz um diálogo entre Jesus e Maria na cruz. A banda Big Dismal, executa "Rainy Day", um estilo cristã contemporânea.

Os fãs vão adorar "Quantas chicotadas", por Kirk Franklin e Yolanda Adams, um convite a reflexão. Bebe Winans acrescenta grande sintonia ao misturar gospel e pop contemporâneo.

Curiosidades:
De acordo com a Sony Music e o selo Integrity, Mel Gibson participou dos vocais e cantos da trilha, integrando o coral. O álbum ocupou a 23a posição na lista dos 200 álbuns mais vendidos nos EUA e foi o No. 1 nas listas de trilhas sonoras pela terceira semana consecutiva. De acordo com Dan Goldwasser, editor chefe da SoundtrackNet, um site que fornece informações sobre trilhas sonoras, "a trilha de 'A Paixão' está se saindo muitíssimo bem. Hollywood está apenas começando a se dar conta de que existe um público interessado em filmes e conteúdos religiosos, e, também, que a música é uma parte importante do filme." "É uma daquelas trilhas que mexem com as emoções viscerais do ouvinte", prosseguiu Goldwasser. "Ela possui uma fusão boa de etnicidade tribal e de som religioso épico tradicional. Funciona bem como trilha sonora moderna e também funciona independentemente do filme."

Você Sabia?
John Debney que assinou as trilhas sonoras de filmes como "Todo-Poderoso" e "Um Duende em Nova York", fez uso intensivo de música eletrônica, ragas indianas e outros elementos de música percussiva e world music. "A Paixão de Cristo" está provocando uma retomada nas vendas de produtos ligados à fé.

A trilha sonora do filme de Mel Gibson sobre as últimas horas na vida de Jesus Cristo marcou presença nas paradas pop norte-americanas por semanas consecutivas, demonstrando a paixão dos cinéfilos não apenas pelo filme, mas também pela música. A trilha, que inclui composições de John Debney, vendeu 100 mil unidades desde que foi lançada, em 24 de fevereiro de 2004.

O Cd com a trilha sonora do filme de Mel Gibson, inspirou um segundo álbum "Songs Inspired by 'The Passion of the Christ"', lançado pela Universal South Records, pertencente à Vivendi Universal, em 6 de abril de 2004. O segundo álbum traz músicas de artistas como Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley e Leonard Cohen, compilado pelo documentarista e diretor de videoclipes Lian Lunson, que colaborou estreitamente com Mel Gibson. Uma porta-voz da gravadora disse que o objetivo do disco é homenagear a viagem emocional feita por quem assiste ao filme. "Mel Gibson achou que as canções devem complementar a mensagem do filme e inspirar a reflexão espiritual", disse a porta-voz.



Are You Afraid To Die

Are you a stranger to God
Carried away with your pride
Tell me sinner
Do you ever stop and think
Are you afraid to die

Are you afraid
Are you unsaved
Are you afraid to die

Call on Him while he is near
Moments are swift passing by
Will you seek Him
While He stile may be found
Are you afraid to die

Are you afraid
Are you unsaved
Are you afraid to die

Are you too wicked to cry
Would you to Gods' bosom fly
Soon He's comin'
Like a theif in the night
Are you afraid to die

Are you afraid
Are you unsaved
Are you afraid to die

Are you afraid
Are you unsaved
Are you afraid to die


By The Rivers Dark

By the rivers dark
I wandered on.
I lived my life
In Babylon.

And I did forget
My holy song:
And I had no strength
In Babylon.

By the rivers dark
Where I could not see
Who was waiting there
Who was hunting me.

And he cut my lip
And he cut my heart.
So I could not drink
From the river dark.

And he covered me,
And I saw within,
My lawless heart
And my wedding ring,

I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.

By the rivers dark
I panicked on.
I belonged at last
To Babylon.

Then he struck my heart
With a deadly force,
And he said, ‘This heart:
It is not yours.'

And he gave the wind
My wedding ring;
And he circled us
With everything.

By the rivers dark,
In a wounded dawn,
I live my life
In Babylon.

Though I take my song
From a withered limb,
Both song and tree,
They sing for him.

Be the truth unsaid
And the blessing gone,
If I forget
My Babylon.

I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.

By the rivers dark,
Where it all goes on;
By the rivers dark
In Babylon.


Darker With The Day

As so with that, I thought I'd take a final walk
The tide of public opinion had started to abate
The neighbours, bless them, had turned out to be all talk
I could see their frightened faces
peering at me through the gate

I was looking for an end to this, for some kind of closure
Time moved so rapidly, I had no hope of keeping track of it
I thought of my friends who had died of exposure
And I remembered other ones who had died from the lack of it

And in my best shoes I started falling forward down the street
I stopped at a church and jostled through the crowd
And love followed just behind me, panting at my feet
As the steeple tore the stomach from a lonely little cloud

Inside I sat, seeking the presence of a God
I searched through the pictures in a leather-bound book
I found a woolly lamb dozing in an issue of blood
And a gilled Jesus shivering on a fisherman's hook

Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day

Back on the street I saw a great big smiling sun
It was a Good day and an Evil day and all was bright and new
And it seemed to me that most destruction was being done
By those who could not choose between the two

Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones
The streets groan with little Caesars, Napoleons and cunts
With their building blocks and their tiny plastic phones
Counting on their fingers, with crumbs down their fronts

I passed by your garden, saw you with your flowers
The Magnolias, Camellias and Azaleas so sweet
And I stood there invisible in the panicking crowds
You looked so beautiful in the rising heat
I smell smoke, see little fires bursting on the lawns
People carry on regardless, listening to their hands
Great cracks appear in the pavement, the earth yawns
Bored and disgusted, to do us down

Babe
It seems so long
Since you've been gone
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day

These streets are frozen now. I come and go
Full of a longing for something I do not know
My father sits slumped in the deepening snow
As I search, in and out, above, about, below

Babe
It seems so long
Since you went away
And I
Just got to say
That it grows darker with the day


Finding My Own Way

Looking back on memories
Thinking how things used to be
Take me in, or was it simple then?

Will someone tell me, how life should be
Understand me, but let me be me

I'm just finding my own way, in my
Own sweet time
If I'm making a mistake at least it's mine
If I travel down a different road, to the
One that you would take
I'm just finding my own way

If you ever see me cry
Don't you worry I'll be fine
I know you only want what's best for me

It may be a long way home
But the path I take's my own
I'm not waiting for my destiny

Will someone hold me, when I'm lonely
Understand me, let me be me?

And if you found me all alone
Would you lend a helping hand?
And all I need from you my friend is
For you to understand
And if you would be my comforter
Someone to love
Then You'd help me find my way
(help me find my way)


I See Love

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love

Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you


With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour

I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through
(heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Some see Him walking from an empty grave


New Again

Mother - do not cry for me
All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be
I'm right here. Can you hear my voice?
My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy

As they nail me to this tree
Just know my Father waits for me
God how can this be your will?
To have your son and my son killed?

Whatever happens...whatever you see...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...
Not the end...
I am making all things new again

I remember when you were born
In that manger where I first held
You in my arms
So many miracles and lives you've changed
And this world repays you how?
With all this pain


Not Dark Yet

Shadows are fallin' and I've been here all day
It's too hot to sleep and time is runnin' away
Feel like my soul has turned into steel
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
There's not even room enough to be anywhere
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
She wrote me a letter and she wrote it so kind
She put down in writin' what was in her mind
I just don't see why I should even care
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

Well, I've been to London and I been to gay Paris
I've followed the river and I got to the sea
I've been down on the bottom of the world full of lies
I ain't lookin' for nothin' in anyone's eyes
Sometimes my burden is more than I can bear
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.

I was born here and I'll die here against my will
I know it looks like I'm movin' but I'm standin' still
Every nerve in my body is so naked and numb
I can't even remember what it was I came here to get away from
Don't even hear the murmur of a prayer
It's not dark yet but it's gettin' there.


Precious Lord

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

Just like a blind man I wandered a long,
Worries and fears I claimed for my own.
Then like the blind man that God gave back my sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

I was a fool to wander and stray,
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more in darkness no more in night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.


Rainy Day

On a rainy day
I feel like I can change the world
Cause somehow I know that it's all gonna be alright
And on a rainy day
I can feel my heart beating
And I can taste the tears falling from the sky

On a rainy day
(won't You come and save the world?)
On a rainy day
(I know You're looking down on me)

Love
It keeps us hanging on
Even when all hope is gone
I believe that Your love rains down on me
Faith
It carries us away
It takes us to a place
Far above this world
And I can see you in the clouds
On a rainy day

On a rainy day
I feel like I'm in tune
And I can clearly see how much I have to lose
And on a rainy day
I feel like I am free
Cause I know You did it all to rescue me

On a rainy day
(won't You come and save the world?)
On a rainy day
(I know You're looking down on me)

Love
It keeps us hanging on
Even when all hope is gone
I believe that Your love rains down on me
Faith
It carries us away
It takes us to a place
Far above this world
And I can see you in the clouds
On a rainy day

Won't You come and save the world?
Won't You come and save the world?
Won't You come and save the world for You and me?
Won't You come and save the world?
Won't You come and save the world?
Won't You come and save the world for You and me?

Love
It keeps us hanging on
Even when all hope is gone
I believe that Your love rains down on me
Faith
It carries us away
It takes us to a place
Far above this world
And I can see you in the clouds, yeah
Like a rainbow shining down
On a rainy day
Yeah, on a rainy day
On a rainy day
(Won't You come and save the world?)


Relearn Love

On a dark and lonely highway
I need the Son to raise my head
I come before you, I am naked...
The man I am now must be shed
I've weathered storms and I am broken
My beaten heart is in your hands
What I really need is shelter
And a chance to relearn love

(chorus)

Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again...
So I can relearn love

The comfort of your arms around me
Your tender hands caress my head
I lay beside you I'm not worthy
This jaded man's not who I am
I touched the flame and I've been burned
All I need's a second chance
Give me eyes of a child
And teach this man to relearn love

Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again...

To relearn love
Teach me all over, all over
To relearn love
Show me again...

So I can relearn love

I was selfish, but you still love me
You gave the greatest gift of all
And it set me free

When time means nothing
And your world is standing still
Listen world he's calling
When you feel me drop and kneel

Can you feel it?
Just remember
Oh remember
...to relearn love

(to relearn love) (show me again) (to relearn love)

Relearn my love (teach me all over, all over)
Show me, show me to relearn my love (to relearn my love, show me again)
Teach me now, now, teach me all over (relearn my love)
To relearn, relearn my love
So I can relearn love


The Empire

Sink your teeth into me,
Bite so hard it bleeds,
I need some answers more than ever, please!

We are fallen angels with no place to go
we are fallen angels looking for a home

You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?

Reach your head into me stir up bitter memories,
Steal my dreams while I'm asleep, please!

We are fallen angels with no place to go
we are fallen angels looking for a home

You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
Just, look at your hands, holding them tight to your chest!
Look at your hands, what have they done to the wrists?

My head turned with a doorknob,
as you walked in the room, as you walked in the room
My head turned with a doorknob, as you walked in the room,
as you walked in the room

You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?
You are dead, you're alive, but why?
You're the empire, the rebellion, but why?


The Passion

If they only owned love, shown love, grown love, like this before
If they only knew love, true love, to love, like this before
If they only gave love, saved love, brave love, like this before
If they only called love, love love, called love, like this before
If they'd only showed love, they owed love, owed love, like this before
If they only showed love, they owed love, owed love, like this before
If they only knew love, true love, to love, like this before
If they only gave love, saved love, brave love, like this before
If they only showed love, they owed love, they owed love, like this before

La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la, La la la la la...

Like this before
If they ever showed love, they owed love, they owed love, they owed love
If they ever showed love, they owed love, they owed love, like this before

Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
La la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la...

If they only claimed love, claimed love, claimed love
They maintained love
Instead they drained love, stained love
They didn't control love, my soul loves a whole love, like this before
Received the same love
If they didn't regret love, forget love, say they never met love
If they will love, don't kill love, just be still love (x4)

Where No One Stands Alone

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me

Like a king I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way,
every hour every day
Come here to the great unknown

Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone

Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone
