A vida...

Porque a vida prova-nos todos os dias que conseguimos encontrar a felicidade nas mais pequenas coisas e nos pormenores tantas vezes invisíveis ao nosso olhar...

Cat Stevens - Father and Son Original

"Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.

Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
(Son-- Away Away Away, I know I have to
Make this decision alone - no)
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them They know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
(Father-- Stay Stay Stay, Why must you go and
make this decision alone?)"

Feelings...






Ed Harcourt - "You Put A Spell On Me"

Bring you flowers in the morning
I don't know what else to do
Got a suitcase and a passport
But all I really want is you

I'm not sure if I can fake it
I only write songs when I'm sad
But being isn't all I've had
Since...

You put a spell on me
There's no escaping when
You put a spell on me
I can't explain Why
You put a spell on me
Yeah, you put a spell on me

Made a painting for your birthday
For my words they come out wrong
Couldn't say the things I'm feeling
So I threw them in a song

I'm not sure if I can take it
If I'm the last romantic alive
Still star crossed til my dying

You put a spell on me
There's no escaping
You put a spell on me
I can't explain why
You put a spell on me
And I never speak
Since you put a spell on me

Wasn't sure if I could make it
As everyday kept passing by
Then I felt in a blink of an eye
Cause...

You put a spell on me
There's no escaping
You put a spell on me
I can't explain why
You put a spell on me
And I never speak, only saying
Since you put a spell on me

Wonderful life...



Sparklehorse - It's a wonderful life

"I am
the only one
can ride that horse
th'yonder

I'm full of bees
who died at sea

it's a wonderful life
it's a wonderful life

I wore
a rooster's blood
when it flew
like doves
I'm a bog
of poisoned frogs

it's a wonderful life
it's a wonderful life

I'm the dog that ate
your birthday cake

it's a wonderful life
it's a wonderful life
it's a wonderful life"

Just a beautiful song...





Glasvegas - Geraldine

"When your sparkle evades your soul
I'll be at your side to console
When your standing on the window ledge
I'll talk you back from the edge
I will turn your tide
Be your shepard and your guide
When your lost in the deep and darkest place around
May my words walk you home safe and sound

When you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know thats just the Prescription talking
When your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
Up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will, I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I'll be the angel on your shoulder
My name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker

I see you need me
I know you do"

Mr.Brightside...




The Killers - Mr Brightside

"I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

Cause I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I never...
I never...
I never...
I never..."

It's Friday...





The Cure - Friday I'm In Love

"I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

I don't care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday - heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday, you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday - watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a sheik
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love"

Footsteps...



Pearl Jam - Footsteps

"Don't even think about reachin' me
I won't be home
Don't even think about stoppin' by
Don't think of me at all
I did, what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you...

Don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in my head, voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart
I did, what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you...

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you
Pictures on my chest, it was you
It was you...

I did, what I had to do
And if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
And if, there's something you'd like to do
Just let me continue, to blame you

Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you
Pictures on my chest, it was you, you"

Into my arms...





Nick Cave - "Into my arms"

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

What's on your mind?



Madrugada - What's on your mind?

"You were at my door
I heard you knocking but I didn't care at all
I had been in all night just staring at the wall
I didn't really want to see you anymore

Coming from the road
You took your coat off and you threw it on the floor
You said "I can't believe you wanna hurt me so"
I said "I'm not supposed to be like this, you know"
Well, I just had to let you go

What's on your mind?
When you're lost in time
What's on your mind?
Tell me why
Why does it have to be this way?

You were in that dream that I was dreaming
I was dreaming in a dream
Your nylon dress and I was floating back downstream
I wanted love to come and swallow everything

Everything gets real
Sooner or later, doesn't matter how you feel
You slammed that door shut on the night of glass and steel
I cannot blame you for believing what you believe
Well, I just had to let you go

Why do you always stay
Miles away
And two steps behind
Where the past is still living
Beautiful and forgiven
Do you not see
That you live in a dream
Hey"

Cantiga de amor...


Hoje acordei a cantarolar esta música. Às vezes é bom ouvirmos cantar na nossa língua e perceber que é possível fazer músicas fantásticas.

Sempre tive um carinho especial pelos Rádio Macau e por aquilo que fizeram ao longo de todos estes anos...

Fica aqui uma música especial com uma letra mágica...




Rádio Macau - Cantiga de Amor

"Preferias que cantasse noutro tom
Que te pintasse o mundo de outra cor
Que te pusesse aos pés um mundo bom
Que te jurasse amor, o eterno amor

Querias que roubasse ao sete estrelo
A luz que te iluminasse o olhar
Embalar-te nas ondas com desvelo
Levar-te até à lua para dançar

Que a lua está longe e mesmo assim
Dançar podemos sempre, se quiseres
Ou então, se preferires, fica aí
Que ninguém há-de saber o que disseres

Talvez até pudesse dar-te mais
Que tudo o que tu possas desejar
Não te debruces tanto que ainda cais
Não sei se me estás a acompanhar

Que a lua está longe e mesmo assim
Dançar podemos sempre, se quiseres
Ou então, se preferires, fica aí
Que ninguém há-de saber o que disseres

Podia, se quisesses, explicar-te
Sem pressa, tranquila, devagar
E pondo, claro está, modéstia à parte
Uma ou duas coisas, se calhar

Que a lua está longe e mesmo assim
Dançar podemos sempre, se quiseres
Ou então, se preferires, fica aí
Que ninguém há-de saber o que disseres"
