Playng For Change - 2º Capítulo

Querido Umbigo:

Don't Give Up

Querido Umbigo:

Para mim...

Eu

Querido Umbigo:

Isto ontem era eu... hoje acho que já não sou ☺

“Eu
Isto sou eu.
O Vidro Virado para a lua. O bocado de papel no bolso. A camisa rasgada para fazer ligaduras. O muro branco onde moram as sombras.
Eu queria ser apenas o que vejo – a lua, lua que se dá ao luxo de ser cega, de tanto olharem para ela. A lua que se nos mete pelos olhos dentro, por saber-se tão longe que nunca lhe havemos de mexer. Queria ser assim o que tu querias que eu fosse. Mas sem que soubesses. Fosse o que fosse, era isto que eu queria ser.
Isto sou eu. Uma parte que não é precisa, que serve para o que não devia. Uma coisa que sozinha não chega. Quando o que eu queria era ser motriz. Fazer parte da geringonça infernal da nossa vida. Ter uma função que mais nenhuma peça pudesse ter. Ser capaz de correr com o resto da máquina. E carregar comigo o perigo e a importância de uma avaria. Isto é o meu sonho. Isto sou eu a sonhar.
É tão pouco para quem pensa em ser seja o que for! O estilhaço de um espelho que o sol rebentou no jardim. Um vidro onde a única coisa que se vê é a sombra do fogo que a queimou. É . Mas sou eu, isto. Um pedaço de nada, onde se sentem as coisas todas que eu não sou. Mais valia não sentir do que ser assim.”

MEC

E AMANHÃ QUERO SER ASSIM:

"Ela
Isto é ela
O que quiser. Isto é ela a transformar. De manhã enorme (...)Isto é exactamente o que ela quiser. (...)Temos de esperar. Ela é ainda aquilo que ainda não sabe se quer ser.
(...)Isto é ela. Isto é, não se sabe. Isto é, é ela que não quer saber."

Doesn't mean...

Querido Umbigo:

Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I'm in a cross

Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse

I just got lost
Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off... 

You might be a big fish
In a little pond
Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come
A bigger one

And you'll be lost
Every river that you try to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the firing stops
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off
Ooh-Oh, And I'm just waiting till the shine wears off...

The Way I Feel Inside

Querido Umbigo:

Should I try to hide

The way I feel inside

My heart for you?

Would you say that you

Would try to love me too?

In your mind could you ever be

Really close to me?

I can tell the way you smile

If I feel that I could be certain then

I would say the things

I want to say tonight

But till I can see

That you'd really care for me

I will dream that someday you'll be

Really close to meI can tell the way you smile

If I feel that I could be certain then

I would say the thingsI want to say tonight

But till I can see

That you'd really care for me

I'll keep trying to hide

The way I feel inside

Oxalá te Veja

Querido Umbigo:
Olha que coisa mais linda, mais cheia de graça...

Playground Love

Querido Umbigo:

Depois da tempestade vem a bonança, e depois da bonança... vem o quê?

Life Aquatic

Querido Umbigo:

Porque á coisas assim que se gostam, que se amam sem termos exactamente explicações....

Claro que sei algumas das razões porque gosto tanto deste filme, mas este post é metafórico... assim... :)

Obrigada por teres partilhado este filme comigo.

All My Friends

Querido Umbigo:

Porque no mundo não há mesmo nada como os amigos, esta é para vocês que vivem todos no meu coração :)

That's how it starts

We go back to your house

You check the charts

Then start to figure it out

And if it's crowded then all the better

Because we know we're gonna be up late

But if you're worried about the weather

Then you picked the wrong place to stay

You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan

And the next five years trying to be with your friends again

You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can Yeah,

I know it gets tired, only where are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

And so it starts You switch the engine on

We set controls for the heart of the sun

One of the ways we show our age

And if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up, if the sun comes up

And I still don't wanna stagger home

And it's the memory of our betters

That's keeping us on our feet You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan

And the next five years trying to be with your friends again

You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can

Yeah, I know it gets tired, only where are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

It comes apart

The way it does in bad films

Except the parts

Where the moral kicks in

Though we're running out of drugs

And the conversation's grinding away

Oh, I wouldn't trade one stupid decision

For another five years of life

You spent the first five years trying to get with the plan

And the next five years trying to be with your friends again

You're talking 45 turns just as fast as you can

Yeah, I know it gets tired, only where are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

We are your friends tonight?

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

If I could be with my friends tonight

I'm Your Man!

Querido Umbigo:

Where are thou?

Death is not the end!

Happy Endings

Querido Umbigo:

Because today I feel like having an ending, wheter it is happy or not...

"Oh imagine it is a film and you're the star
And pretty soon we're to the part
where you realize that you should give your heart
Oh, give your heart to me

And now the orchestra begins to make a sound
That goes round and round and round
Round and round and round and round, umm, round
and round again
We kisse to violins

Well some sad people might believe in that I guess
But we now better don't we?
We know all about the mess
The aftermath of our affair is lyin' all around, I can clear it
away
No

And do you think that is so easy to find
Somebody who is just your kind?
Well it might take you a little time
But I'm going to have to try, oh yeah, I'm going to try

And I know no-one can ever know which way to head
But don't you remember that you once said
That you liked happy endings?
Happy Endings

And no-one can ever know if it's going to work
But if you try
if you try then you might get your happy ending.

Your Ending, the thing that you deserve

And I know no-one can ever know which way to head

But don't you remember that you once said

That you liked happy endings? "

The Big Ask

Querido Umbigo:

I Feel Love

Querido Umbigo:

Para uma alma azul como a minha, esta sempre foi uma das "minhas" companhias (vide aqui), agora além de os poder ver as vezes que eu quiser, live, tenho também o previlégio de estar a trabalhar com estes senhores, estreia já quarta-feira no Auditório dos Oceanos no Casino Lisboa... fica aqui um cheirinho, mas não percam, este é mesmo um espectáculo que faz a diferença.

Glenn Goulds Sarabande

Querido Umbigo:

O Sol brilha lá fora, e cá estou eu fechada no meu "personal" bunker, cinzento por todos os lados... por todos?
NÃO
Em repeat esta maravilhosa interpretação do Sarabande de Bach, por Glenn Gould, é um prazer não só de ouvir, mas também de ver...
E de repente dentro da minha sala cinzenta o sol começou a brilhar...

Landscapes

Querido Umbigo:

E se nós pessoas fossemos paisagens?

Hallelujah !

Querido Umbigo:
Só não percebo como é que isto ainda não tinha vindo aqui parar...

"Baby I have been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you.

I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you

And even thoughIt all went wrong

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah,

Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah Hallelujah,

Hallelujah Hallelujah"
