“Forever For Now” é uma das músicas da cantora e autora LP, que descobri recentemente e que tem sido a minha companhia musical mais habitual. A minha relação com esta música, entre outras, é proxima do delírio. Já ri, já dancei, já chorei. E não consigo parar de ouvir.
Hush, hush
Don’t say a word
The faint cries can hardly be heard
A storm lies beyond the horizon, barely
Don’t stop
Sweep through the days
Like children that can’t stay awake
Stay here untainted and say…
Stay while the melody’s sung
Break like a wave on the run
I do be sure I can’t say anymore
I just know that it won’t last forever
Rush, rush
Take me away
Like hourglass sand that never escapes
Stars are born and then die, but carefree
A small clock that ticks without time
And watched by an ocean of eyes
Ending, ascending and then…
Stay while the melody’s sung
Break like a wave on the run
I do be sure I can’t say anymore
I just know that it won’t last forever
I just know that it won’t last forever

Aretha partiu. Um voz única. A rainha. Aqui fica um dos belos poemas que cantou.

There goes my heart again All of this time I thought we were pretending Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning You show me love, you show me love You show me everything my heart is capable of You reshape me like butterfly origami-yeah You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling for you I'm taking time to envision where your heart is And justify why you're gone for the moment I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine And you know this is right when you look into my eyes You show me love, you show me love You show me everything my heart is capable of And now I can't break away from this fire that we started You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling for you, There my heart goes again In your arms I'm falling deeper And there's nothing to break me away from this You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling You have broken into my heart This time I feel the blues have departed Nothing can keep me away from this feeling I know I am simply falling for you There my heart goes again You have broken into my heart Oh I'm falling deeper, I'm falling deeper

Una Noche Mas – Yasmin Levy
Recuerdo tu imajen alejandose
La tierra se hundia bajo mis pies
Fui cayendome al vacio
Sin poderme agarrar a la vida
Como pude imaginarme
Que tenia algo que darte
Yo en mi maturitud
Y tu en tu plena juventud
los anos no perdonan
Solo te ruego que me des
Una noche de amor
Solo pido una noche mas
Que me vuelvas a enganar
Te maldigo para que no puedas llorar
Que tu corazon se vuelva una piedra
Que tu alma pierda su alegria
A la vez que mi cuerpo envejecer
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas. Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça. Dezembro 19, 2017

D’autres façons de se quitter
Quelques éclats de verre
Auraient peut-être pu nous aider
Dans ce silence amer
J’ai décidé de pardonner
Les erreurs qu’on peut faire
A trop s’aimer
En moi souvent te réclamait
Presque comme une mère
Tu me bordais, me protégeais
Je t’ai volé ce sang
Qu’on aurait pas dû partager
A bout de mots, de rêves
Je vais crier
Comme un fou, comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un loup, comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça
Tous mes sourires, tous mes secrets
Même ceux dont seul un frère
Est le gardien inavoué
Dans cette maison de pierre
Satan nous regardait danser
J’ai tant voulu la guerre
De corps qui se faisaient la paix
Comme un fou, comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un loup, comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça
Comme un fou, comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime
Comme un loup, comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je t’aime comme ça
“uma sombra negra cai, em redor do homem no cais” Dezembro 5, 2017

Lembrar sempre Variações, António Variações. Hoje, porque não, com uma música que não sua. A minha escolha pessoal, entre muitas outras homenagens, fica para “A Sombra” dos Madredeus. Este tema, surgido em memória de António Variações, tem letra e música de Pedro Ayres Magalhães.
Anda pela noite só
um capote errante, ai ai
e uma sombra negra cai, em redor
do homem no cais
das ruas antigas vem
um cantar distante ai’ai
e ninguém das casas sai, por temor
de uns passos no cais
Se eu cair ao mar, quem me salvará
lalalala…
que eu não tenho amigos, quem é que será,
lalalala…
ai a solidão, que não andas só,
lalalala…
anda lá à vontade, mas de mim tem dó…
cantar, sempre cantou
jamais esteve ausente, ai ai
e uma vela branca vai, por amor
largar pela noite

My lonely days are over and life is like a song, oh yeah
At last the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up clover the night I looked at you
I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill I’ve never known, oh yeah
You smiled, you smiled oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last

The sweetness and the sorrow
We did what we had to do
And I can’t regret what I did for love
What I did for love
Hey, look, my eyes are dry
The gift was ours to borrow
It’s as if we always knew
But I won’t forget what I did for love
What I did for love
Gone, love is never, never, never gone
As we travel on, sweet love’s what we’ll remember
Now, honey, kiss today good, ah, kiss and goodbye
And then point me, point me toward tomorrow
Wish me luck, would you do that, baby?
I do it for you
Can’t forget (Can’t forget)
And I won’t regret (Won’t regret)
What I did, what I did for love
Gone, love is never, ever, ever gone
As we travel on, sweet love’s what we’ll remember
Kiss today, kiss and goodbye
Point me toward tomorrow
And wish me luck, would you do that, baby?
I do the same, oooh, I do it for you, ah
Can’t forget (Can’t forget)
Won’t regret (Won’t regret)
What I did, what I did for love (Ooohooo)
What I did for love (Oooh)
What I did for love (Oooh)
Salvador Sobral – Amar Pelos Dois Março 6, 2017

Salvador Sobral interpreta o tema “Amar Pelos Dois”, composto por Luísa Sobral, na final do Festival da Canção 2017.
Se um dia alguém, perguntar por mim
Diz que vivi para te amar
Antes de ti, só existi
Cansado e sem nada para dar
Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei, que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho, possas voltar a aprender
Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces
Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer
Eu sei, que não se ama sozinho
Talvez devagarinho, possas voltar a aprender
Se o teu coração não quiser ceder
Não sentir paixão, não quiser sofrer
Sem fazer planos do que virá depois
O meu coração, pode amar pelos dois

Hoje para relembrar George Michael poderia escolher inúmeras músicas. Escolhi “one more try”. Nem sei quais serão as razões mas esta balada faz parte dos momentos eternos da minha vidinha de adolescente nos perdidos anos 80/90.
I’ve had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I’m looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it’s time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don’t
Just let me go
Cause teacher
There are things that I don’t want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don’t want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you’re mine
Because there ain’t no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn’t feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it’s wrong
Just let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I don’t want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don’t want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you’re mine
Because there ain’t no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
So when you say that you need me
That you’ll never leave me
I know you’re wrong, you’re not that strong
Let me go
And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don’t want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you’re mine
Because there ain’t no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn’t willing to try
I’m so cold
Inside
Maybe just one more try
