Há 14 anos atrás este grande cantor, compositor e produtor musical pôs fim a sua vida ao se atirar em frente a um metrô na estação de Wimbledon, Londres. Um gênio incompreendido da música, que não teve a merecida atenção das mídias da época, porém, ainda nos deixou ótimas canções tanto em sua carreira solo, como nos projetos anteriores (The Outsiders e The Sound).
Este álbum é cheio de ótimas músicas; músicas com ótimas melodias e letras (Universe Of You, a melhor letra deste álbum). Brittle Heaven, Flight 23 e Faithful (com aquela introdução nos teclados que fica na mente) estão entre as mais animadas do disco. Este álbum é uma verdadeira poesia que transmite muito bem os sentimentos de cada música para o ouvinte. Apenas uma curiosidade, este álbum foi gravado com os músicos de uma banda holandesa chamada de Sjako! que tocavam com Borland desde o início de sua carreira solo. Talvez esta seja a explicação para um tão bom encontro entre as melodias de todo o álbum.
Esta postagem de hoje é em homenagem a este grande músico e o álbum é, para mim, o melhor de sua carreira solo: o Brittle Heaven.

>>> 14 years ago this great singer, songwritter and musical producer ended his life when threw yourself in front of a train in the Wimbledon Station, London. A misunderstood genius of music, that not had the deserve attention of the media of the time but still left to us great songs both in his solo career as well in your previous projects (The Outsiders and The Sound).
This album if full of great songs; songs with great melodys and lyrics (Universe Of You, the best of this album for me). Brittle Heaven, Flight 23 and Faithful (with the keyboard intro that sticks in your mind) are among the more animate songs. This album is a real poem that transmits very well the feelings of each song to the listener. Just a curiosity, this album was recorded with the musicians that played with Borland since the start of your solo career. Maybe this be the explanation to a so good encounter between the melodies of all the album.
This today's post is a homenage to this great musician and this album is for me the best: the Brittle Heaven.

"...And the only place I want to be
Is in the universe of you
And the only time I'm really free
Is in the universe of you
And the only face I want to see
Is the one I see on you."
