Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place (Scotch Mist Version)

Enquanto eles não voltam, vamos matando saudades...

...

Hoje fechou-se uma porta, ou talvez fosse mais uma janela. Não sei. Só sei que se fechou e que assim chegou ao fim. Acabou.
Dois anos, foram dois anos.
Ainda não sei como me sinto, sequer se me sinto.
Saudades, será? Ou será medo?...

E agora?...

Vem-me ‘à memória uma frase batida’...


by Sérgio Godinho - Primeiro dia

2000 e infinito

Parece que estamos em contagem decrescente para o início do novo ano. É altura das passas, das badaladas, do champanhe, das notas na mão e dos pés em cima da cadeira. Nos escassos 12 segundos que antecedem o virar do calendário, desejamos com muita força tudo o que queremos... e acreditamos que vai acontecer. A vocês, minhas amigas, desejo que prolonguem essa fé pelos 365 dias que vos aguardam. E se, por algum motivo perderem o embalo, eu estarei aqui para acreditar por vocês. Não se esqueçam que há um 8 no número... que deitado se transforma no infinito.

Hoje faltou a luz...

... e agora não me sai da cabeça...

How Soon is Now?

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does.

by The Smiths

Don't walk away, in silence

Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away, in silence,
Don't walk away.

TV... quem te viu e quem te vê

Antes de mais: Maria So, desculpa roubar o protagonismo das Favas com Chouriço, mas foi precisamente essa viagem ao nosso passado nacional que me fez escrever este post.
Desculpas apresentadas, ainda me falta mais uma explicação. O título é parvo, eu sei. Mas a frase construiu-se sozinha e não tem nada de depreciativo. Simplesmente constata que há mudança. Passo a ser mais específica: a Time Out Lisboa decidiu fazer uma sondagem para eleger os melhores programas de TV de sempre. São "cinquenta pérolas da televisão portuguesa" (como eles lhe chamam) que vão a votos. Eu já vi a lista e digo que vale a pena. Ver, portanto. Só de ler os nomes, cresce-nos um esgar de sorriso na cara. E lá vamos nós down the memory lane. Mas atenção que não existem só oldies! Também há coisas muito actuais. Só que giro, giro é recordar O Tal Canal, o Duarte e Companhia, o Sabadabadu, o Jornalinho, os Amigos de Gaspar, o Agora Escolha... Que tal espreitarem o rol de nomeados?

Antony And The Johnsons - Hope Theres Someone

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

GREEN GRASS - Cibelle

(Tom Waits Cover)

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Come closer don't be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles and brambles
Whistle 'Didn't He Ramble'
Now there's a bubble of me
And it's floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
It smells like rain today

God took the stars and he tossed them
Can't tell the birds from the blossoms
You'll never be free of me
He'll make a tree from me

Don't say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls, mark my words
We'll catch mocking birds

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me
Remember when you loved me
Remember when you loved me

Into My Arms

era disto que ontem te falava...

by Nick Cave

Para ti

Voltei à escrita. Voltei com uma homenagem.
Para alguém que me "abanou" com a verdade da sua história. Arrancou-me daquele estado de letargia atroz que de vez em quando assume os comandos da nossa vidinha feita de sequências que a todo o custo queremos que sejam lógicas . É um estado de letargia de tal forma subtil que nem sentimos a sua cáustica presença.
Bem, a verdade de uma história pode abanar o trilho. Imaginem-se a delinear um caminho. É certo que nesse "desenho" evitamos sempre fazer riscos que nos possam desorientar, a questão latente e crucial é: e se esses riscos nos levam a um estado superior?
Para ti, a dona da história, deixo uma grande música. Ouve com atenção e recusa-te sempre a senti-la na primeira pessoa. (Grande música esta).



This is our last goodbye I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go: you gave me more to live for, more than you'll ever know.

This is our last embrace, must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please, kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know, it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say \"no, this can't happen to me,\"and did you rush to your phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,\"Maybe...you didn't know him at all.\"Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory Of her sighs that, \"It's over...it's over...\"

We're dancin' as we borrow... definitely!

Could I act like you, and put a smile on my face
Not even for a second, would I lie to myself
Too many things are missing, and there's a tear in my eye
It's not a question or an answer, but it will change your mind

We'll be the same tomorrow
'Cause we all been painted by numbers
We're dancin' as we borrow
You said it was love
I said I'd like you to be mine

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

I couldn't act like you, but I can love like you do
Between us there is something, I can't explain it to you

We'll be the same tomorrow
'Cause we all been painted by numbers
We're dancin' as we borrow
You said it was love
I got what I need to get by

We'll be the same tomorrow
'Cause we all been painted by numbers
We're dancin' as we borrow
You said it was love
I said I'd like you to be mine

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

We'll be the same tomorrow
'Cause we all been painted by numbers
We're dancin' as we borrow

Sing a song for sorrow (Sing a song for sorrow)
'Cause we all been painted by numbers
We're dancin' as we borrow
You said it was love
I got what I need to get by
