Horizontes

2009-03-24T15:11:00.000-07:00

So nevermind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothing lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't you think that you need somebody?

2009-03-23T14:52:00.000-07:00

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Let it rain on me...

2009-03-20T15:03:00.000-07:00

I have
given, I have given and got none
Still I'm driven by something I can't explain
It's not a cross, it is a choice
I cannot help but hear his voice
I only wish that I could listen without shame

Let it rain, let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me

I have been a witness to the perfect crime
I Wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
It isn't worth the tears you cry
To have a perfect alibi
Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game

Let it rain, let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me

It isn't easy to be kind
With all these demons in my mind
I only hope one day I'll be free

I do my best not to complain
My face is dirty from the strain
I only hope one day I'll come clean

Rain, let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me

Come take my hand
We can walk to the light
And without fear
We can see through the darkest night

Rain, rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me

(Amanda Marshal - Let it Rain)

Just like Heaven

2009-03-13T16:02:00.000-07:00

Daylight whipped me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I open up my eyes
I find myself alone, alone, alone
Above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me.

You... soft and only
You... lost and lonely
You... just like heaven

Let me go home....

2009-03-07T13:59:00.000-08:00

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
In each one a line or two
"I'm fine baby, how are you?"
Well I would send them but I know that it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another airplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far
From where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I'm living someone else's life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
and gone away
And in Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people
I Still feel alone
Let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby, I'm done
I gotta go home

Let me go home
It all will be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

Just smile...

(Great man, big genius)

"Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile what’s the use of crying
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll just
Smile"

I'm the escaped one

2009-02-17T15:35:00.000-08:00

I am the escaped one,
After I was born
They locked me up inside me
But I left.
My soul seeks me,
Through hills and valley,
I hope my soul
Never finds me.

Fernando Pessoa

Light up, Light up, as if you have a choice....

2009-01-31T16:25:00.000-08:00

Run

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Bom, ao fim de tanto tempo, este senhor conseguiu fazer algo de bom para o mundo... desaparecer :D, mas não sem antes nos deixar este presentinho. Como se pode ver neste video, o fantastico George W. Bush tem mais talento para palhacinho do que para politico.

Hey, Mr.Bush, já pensou que se tivesse reparado antes nessas suas capacidades, tinha causado menos estragos?? (Hum, ele pensa ao menos? tenho as minhas duvidas..)

«No mundo, só comigo, me deixaram
Os deuses que dispõem.
Não posso contra eles: o que deram
Aceito sem mais nada.
Assim, o trigo baixa ao vento, e, quando
O vento cessa, ergue-se. »

«One thing I truly knew—knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest—was how love gave someone the power to break you.»

My fake plastic life

2008-12-23T16:33:00.000-08:00

Fake Plastic Trees
Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself

It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins

It wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run

It wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out

If I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted all the time

All the time...
All the time...

Direitos Humanos

2008-12-10T15:26:00.000-08:00

Bom, como todos sabem, hoje, 10 de Dezembro, comemoram-se os 60 anos da assinatura da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos.

Um dia perfeito para reflectirmos sobre o que se passa à nossa volta, sobre todas as injustiças que se comentem neste nosso mundo, em pleno seculo XXI. Uma boa ocasião para ser relembrada a Questão do Tibete. Aqui fica um pequeno video feito por mim como projecto escolar com o objectivo de não deixar passar em branco a violação dos Direitos Humanos no Tibete.

Don't Forget

O que está a acontecer a minha vida?

2008-11-24T14:23:00.001-08:00

Eu sei que nao sou a única a sentir-me assim, mas hoje é um daqueles dias em que eu queria adormecer, fazer um reset, e depois acordar, completamente limpa, sem problemas, sem dilemas, sem nada... talvez fose melhor mesmo o nada do que isto que é a minha vida.. Quando vai ser aquele dia em que vou poder dizer que tudo está bem, e que sou uma pessoa realizada?

I'm felling so bad, so sad. I'm feeling alone, alone in the dark.

Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything

When I love you
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking
It's the voice of someone else

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us

Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When it's too late

Oh it tears me up
I tried to hold but it hurts too much
I tried to forgive but it's not enough
To make it all okay

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before

But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to say
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late

You can't play our broken strings
You can't feel anything
That your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that aint real

Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
I can't like it anymore
And I love you a little less than before
Oh and I love you a little less than before

Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last change to feel again .

(Broken strings - James Morrisson)

Transmite (quase) perfeitamente o meu estado de espírito.

Talvez um dia entendas que estavas errado...

Don't give up - há dias em que precisamos de uma força...

2008-11-23T14:31:00.000-08:00

Nada melhor que uma boa música para relaxar, acalmar, e pensar na vida...Talvez a seguir já consiga encontrar um motivo para ela existir...

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Dont give up
cos you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
Dont give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that wed be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up
We dont need much of anything
Dont give up
cause somewhere theres a place
Where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
Its going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Dont give up
Please dont give up

got to walk out of here
I cant take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That rivers flowing
That rivers flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Dont give up
cause you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not the only one
Dont give up
No reason to be ashamed
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up now
Were proud of who you are
Dont give up
You know its never been easy
Dont give up
cause I believe theres the a place
Theres a place where we belong

(Don't give up - Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush)

Dilema

2008-11-09T14:54:00.000-08:00

Escolhas, escolhas, escolhas.... Há alguma coisa mais dificil do que fazer uma escolha? E porque é que a escolha feita nunca me parece a melhor opçao.. ou quando até é a melhor para mim, tem sempre de deixar alguém magoado para trás... porquê? Porque é que o certo é sempre o mais difícil... Porque é que o melhor para mim é o pior para as outras pessoas? Porque é que eu nao posso simplesmente dizer a alguém: Vá, escolhe tu por mim!! E tudo se resolvia... talvez fosse mais fácil.. porque parece que toda a gente sabe o que é o melhor para mim.. Só eu é que não..
Estou tão farta.. Porque é que eu sou assim?? A eterna indecisa, a eterna insegura... Porque é que eu vi Afinal o que quero eu para mim?? Não é obvio? Para quem vê de fora é...

Ponto de luz...

2008-10-27T15:29:00.000-07:00

Nao consigo parar de pensar em quem eu sou realmente... e a conclusão é sempre a mesma. ninguém.. absolutamente ninguém... a minha personalidade muda de dia para dia, não consigo decidir se sou assim ou assado, se quero isto ou aquilo... às vezes acho que tenho algum problema mental... Só uma coisa não muda, permanece sempre igual, o meu amor por alguem que um dia mudou a minha vida... Só isso me faz continuar de pé, dia após dia... e é um ponto de luz apenas..

------------------------------

"Não sei quantas almas tenho.
Cada momento mudei.
Continuamente me estranho.
Nunca me vi nem acabei.
De tanto ser, só tenho alma.
Quem tem alma não tem calma.
Quem vê é só o que vê,
Quem sente não é quem é,

Atento ao que sou e vejo,
Torno-me eles e não eu.
Cada meu sonho ou desejo
É do que nasce e não meu.
Sou minha própria paisagem;
Assisto à minha passagem,
Diverso, móbil e só,
Não sei sentir-me onde estou.

Por isso, alheio, vou lendo
Como páginas, meu ser.
O que sogue não prevendo,
O que passou a esquecer.
Noto à margem do que li
O que julguei que senti.
Releio e digo : "Fui eu?"
Deus sabe, porque o escreveu. "

Alberto Caeiro

Horizontes

2008-10-24T16:38:00.000-07:00

Olá!!
Eu sou eu, nao me vou apresentar porque nao é necessario: o meu nome, a minha morada, a minha idade, nada disso interessa para aqui; o que verdadeiramente interessa são os meus horizontes, os meus sonhos, as minhas ideias, as minhas esperanças... tudo aquilo que eu gostava de tornar real... mas que muitas vezes fica pela metade... a vida, essa, as vezes não nos dá tudo o que queremos, nem força suficiente para seguir em frente.. por isso, porque nao apenas viver num mundo de sonhos, onde todos os horizontes estão ao nosso alcance, onde se materializam e se tornam realidade...?
