Sim é assumido

Day after day
I will walk and I will play
but the day after today
I will stop
and I will start
why can't I get just one kiss
why can't I get just one kiss
there may be something’s that I wouldn't miss
but I look at your pants and I need a kiss
why can't I get just one screw
why can't I get just one screw
believe me I know what to do
but something won't let me make love to you
why can't I get just one fuck
why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it's got something to do with luck
but I waited my whole life for just one
day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when I’ll take a bow
and say goodnight
oh my my, my my mum
have you kept your eye, your eye on your son
I know you’ve had problems, you’re not the only one
When your sugar left, he left you on the run
oh my my, my my mum
take a look now at what your boy has done
he’s walking around like he’s number one
went downtown and you got him a gun
so don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
you know you’ve got my sympathy
but don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
you know you’ve got my sympathy
but don’t shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
going down the kitchen at the top of the stairs
can I mix in with your affairs
share a smoke, make a joke
grasp and reach for a leg of hope
words to memorize, words hypnotize
words make my mouth exercise
words all failed the magic prize
nothing I can say when I’m in your thighs
oh my my, my my mother
I would love to love you lover
city is restless, it’s ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
oh my my, my my mother
I would love to love you lover
the city is restless, it’s ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce
I’ve given you, decision to make
things to lose, things to take
just as she’s about ready to cut it up
she says wait a minute honey, I’m gonna add it up
add it up…add it up…add it up…
day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when I’ll take a bow
and say goodnight

O silêncio que dói, a espera que angustía...

Espero impacientemente por noticias tuas,
Sei que estás bem, porque só podes estar,
porque és tu, e tu nunca estás mal
mas não deixo de sentir medo

Não consigo deixar de ter esta insegurança
a dizer-me que se calhar algo pode estar mal
Não vai estar, mas pode estar
e é este pode que me assusta.

Mas tu és tu, e tu superas tudo
és melhor que qualquer um deles
tudo o que eles dizem são baboseiras
comparado com o que dizes

Amanhã estará tudo bem e normal
é nisto que acredito, mas desculpa
não consigo deixar de ter medo
enquanto espero por notícias tuas...

Sugestão II

Para hoje deixo os Liars e o seu novo Drum's Not Dead. Álbum bastante diferente dos restantes, este novo traz-nos uns Liars mais calmos? ou pelo menos um pouco diferentes, mais harmonia menos arestas cortantes. E depois conseguiram escrever esta brilhante música que me tem acompanhado nos últimos tempos.

Ah...

I won't run far.
I won't run far.
I won't run far.

I can always be found.
I can always be found.

Ah...

If you need me,
If you need me,
If you need me,

I can always be found.
I can always be found.

Ah...

If you want me to stay,
If you want me to stay,
If you want me to stay,

I will stay by your side.
I will stay by your side.
I will stay by your side.

I won't run far.
I won't run far.
I won't run far.

I can always be found.
I will stay by your side,
And I want you to find me,
so I'll stay by your side.

Ah...

If you need me,
If you need me,
If you need me,

I can always be found.
I can always be found.
I can always be found.

Ah...

I won't run far.
I won't run far.
I won't run far.

I can always be found.
I can always be found.
I can always be found.

Recordação de uma Noite estranha...

Ás vezes tudo nos passa ao lado, parece que tudo o que se passa á nossa volta é-nos irrelevante, até que em certo momento algo salta dessa irrelevância para nos marcar de forma "irremediável". Aqui fica o que me marcou ontem...

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Momentos de Viragem

Em toda a minha vida desde que me lembro a música sempre teve grande papel na minha vida. Muitos momentos de viragem da minha vida se deram pela e através da música. Não é todos os dias que temos oportunidade de ouvir uma música que nos faz sentir algo, seja incómodo, alegria ou qualquer outro sentimento. Muito mais díficil é encontrarmos um álbum que da primeira à ultima música nos deixa diferentes, mexe com algo, faz-nos mudar um bocadinho por cada audição. Hoje a caminho de casa estive a ouvir de novo o "this is it" dos Strokes. Foi dos álbuns que mais mudou a minha vida. E como tal deixo só aqui um exemplo do porquê.

The Strokes - Barely Legal

i didn't take no shortcuts
i spent the money that i saved up
oh, mama, running out of luck
they like my sister don't give a fuck
i wanna steal your innocence
to me my life, it don't make sense
your strange manners i love 'em so
why won't you wear your new trench coat?
oh, should i work much harder
or should i just not bother
i never show up on weekdays
that's something that you learned yesterday
drive you to work or you wont be on time
these little problems they're not yours they're mine
come on and listen to what i say
i got some secrets that'll make you stay
i just want to turn you down
i just want to turn you around
oh, you ain't never had nothing i wanted
but i want it all, i just can't figure out
nothing
and all together it went well
we made pretend we were best friends
then she said, oh, you're a freak
they ordered me to make mistakes
together again like the beginning
it all works somehow in the end
the things we did, the things you hide
and for the record it's between you and i
i didn't take no shortcuts
i spend the money that i saved up
oh, mama, running out of luck
they like my sister don't give a fuck
i wanna steal your innocence
to me my life, it just don't make any sense
your strange manners i love 'em so
why won't you wear your new trench coat
i just want to misbehave
i just want to be your slave
oh, you ain't never had nothing i wanted
but i want it all, i just can't figure out nothing
and all together it went well
we made pretend we were best friends
then she said, oh, i can wait
they ordered me to make mistakes
together again like the beginning
it all works somehow in the end
the things we did, the things you hide
and for the record it's between you and i

Hoje e sempre fenomenal

Sugestão

She Wants Revenge é uma nova banda que apareceu por aí. Têm uma sonoridade bastante engraçada, um pouco "Joy Divisioniana" mas sem dúvida a ouvir. Aqui fica um exemplo sobre o que versam os rapazes.


"I Don't Want To Fall In Love"

I would like to tell you, I would like to say
That I knew that this would happen
That things would go this way
But I cannot deceive you, this was never planned
I know that you're the right girl but do you think that I am the right man?

1...2...3...4,5,6,7,
Right face wrong time, she's sweet
(But I don't wanna fall in love)
Too late, so deep, better run cause
(but I don't wanna fall in love)
Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight
(I don't wanna)

You say it's not a problem, You say it's meant to be
But love is not an option, our love is never free
And things are not so easy, so cold and we've been burned
I know that I'll have regrets but that's the price of one more lesson learned

1..2..3...4,5,6,7,
Right face wrong time, she's sweet
(But I don't wanna fall in love)
Too late, so deep, better run cause
(but I don't wanna fall in love)
Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight
(I don't wanna)

Right face wrong time, she's sweet
(But I don't wanna fall in love)
Too late, so deep, better run cause
(I don't wanna fall in love)
Right face wrong time, she's sweet
(But I don't wanna fall in love)
Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight
(I don't wanna fall in love)
Right face wrong time, she's sweet
(But I don't wanna fall in love)
Too late, so deep, better run cause
(I don't wanna fall in love)
Right face wrong time, she's sweet
(But I don't wanna fall in love)
Can't sleep, can't eat, can't think straight
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna)

Espero que gostem...

Pedrada no Charco III

I know a girl with the golden touch
She's got enough, she's got too much
But I know, you wouldn't mind
You could have it all if you wanted
You could have it all if it mattered so much

But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
We know what they mean
Well they mean, they're just jealous
Because they never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

That kind of girl, yes she's never alone
You leave a thousand messages on her phone
But you know you never get through
And you could have it all if you wanted, girl
You could have it all if it matters to you

But then all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
But then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
Though we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

I saw my girl with the golden touch
Give 'em a taste but not too much
I just can't listen to the words of fools
I don't give away too much
Someone will need your golden touch

Because all they know is how to put you down
When you're there, they're your friend
And then when you're not around
They say, "Oh, she's changed"
And we know what that means
Well it means they're just jealous
But they'll never do the things
That they wish that they could do so well

Razorlight - Golden Touch

Hoje Golden Touch dos Razorlight. Banda muito má mas que por algum estranho momento de inspiração escreveu esta música fenomenal. Espero que gostem.

But somethimes is so hard to leave, because although you don't want to recognize, some people are just so fucking important in your life...

They say it fades if you let it,
love was made to forget it.
I carved your name across my eyelids,
you pray for rain I pray for blindness.

If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love is fallen from me.
If you still want me, please forgive me,
because the spark is not within me.

I snuffed it out before my mom walked in my bedroom.

The only thing that you keep changin'
is your name, my love keeps growin'
still the same, just like a cancer,
and you won't give me a straight answer!

If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love has fallen from me.
If you still want me please forgive me
because your hands are not upon me.

I shrugged them off before my mom walked in my bedroom.

The pains of love, and they keep growin',
in my heart there's flowers growin'
on the grave of our old love,
since you gave me a straight answer.

If you still want me, please forgive me,
the crown of love is not upon me
If you still want me, please forgive me,
'cause the spark is not within me.
it's not within me, it's not within me.

You gotta be the one,
you gotta be the way,
your name is the only word that I can say

You gotta be the one,
you gotta be the way,
your name is the only word that I can say!

Only one that I can say!

Crown Of Love - Arcade Fire

Somethimes is better do say goodbye, if you want to say hello again some day...

When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so fucking special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts,
I want to have control.
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice,
when I'm not around.
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?.
I don't belong here

She's running out the door,
she's running,
she run, run, run, run, run.

Whatever makes you happy,
whatever you want.
You're so fucking special,
I wish I was special,

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here.

Radiohead - Creep

I really want to belong here, i just don't know if i should...

Why do we always Hurt the ones we love?

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Imagens II*

Hoje Henri Cartier-Bresson. Fotojornalista falecido recentmente no ano de 2004. Talvez o mais famoso fotojornalista de todos os tempos, foi co-fundador da agência Magnum e fotografou até fins dos anos 70, altura em que se dedicou até à morte ás paixões do desenho e da pintura.

A foto que decidi colocar é um retrato parisiense, como muitos outros que fez, sendo este especial por ter Simone De Beauvoir como portagonista.



*Um agradecimento especial à Margarida por me ter cedido a foto

Para recordar uma daquelas noites que queremos que nunca acabe...

Are you aching for the blade
That's o.k.
Were insured
Are you aching for the grave
That's o.k.
Were insured

Were getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living

Daniel's saving Grace
She's out in deep water
hope he's a good swimmer

Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to surf her

Were getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living

Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta, now.

Daniel's saving Grace
He was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins

Getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That's the living
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
That's the living
That's the living

James - Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)
