Joy Division "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


"Love Will Tear Us Apart"

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions won’t grow
And we’re changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there’s still this appeal
That we’ve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can’t function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

Joy Division


[já ouviram a versão desta música produzida pelos Nouvelle Vague? com um arranjo musical impressionante e cantada pela melodiosa voz de Eloisia, com um som ambiente como fundo que preenche os espaços que os instrumentos deixam vazios...]

Taça de Portugal 2004/2005


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Como há alguns dias dei neste espaço os parabéns ao Sport Lisboa e Benfica pela conquista do título futebolístico desta época, não podia deixar de felicitar o Vitória Futebol Clube de Setúbal pela vitória na final da Taça de Portugal. Um vencedor completamente justo, pois foi a equipa que teve um percurso mais impressionante ao longo da competição e foi a melhor (para não dizer a única) equipa no jogo de hoje no bonito Estádio do Jamor. Parabéns Vitória! Para o ano há mais...

Este post é direccionado a todos os que habitam a blogosfera nacional. Trata-se de uma comunidade portuguesa de blogs recentemente criada. Eu sei que existe uma grande oferta neste tipo de serviços, mas gostei bastante da simplicidade e de alguns pormenores que não vi em outros (por exemplo, a pré-visualização dos três últimos posts editados em qualquer blog inseridos por RSS ou a opção de Rand'o Blog). Aconselho aos proprietários destes espaços nesta cidade infinita a criar uma conta nesta comunidade, pois é uma boa forma de divulgação e de conhecer novos blogs interessantes. Neste momento já se encontram registados seis centenas, mas prevejo que proximamente existirão alguns milhares...

Wallpapers [made in Russia]

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Apresento-vos aqui um site para quem pretenda fazer download de excelentes wallpapers para usar como fundo do ambiente de trabalho. Como é um site russo e não apresenta um botão para a visualização do mesmo na língua inglesa, ou outra mais facilmente entendida (pelo menos eu não o consegui identificar), deixo-vos aqui um link directo para a galeria. A maioria dos wallpapers são fantásticos e são disponibilizados numa alta resolução de imagem. Vale bem a pena a visita! Um agradecimento ao Carlos por me ter aconselhado este endereço.

Six Feet Under

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Precisamente no próximo dia 6 de Junho, o dia do meu aniversário (forma completamente descarada de pedir presentes aos visitantes deste blog... hehehe), começa a ser emitida nos E.U.A. a quinta e última season de uma das melhores e mais originais séries até hoje realizadas, Six Feet Under. Finalmente uma boa tradução/adaptação do título original para a língua portuguesa, Sete Palmos de Terra. Para quem nunca ouviu falar desta série só vos posso dizer "Shame on you! Shame on you!", e que até hoje foi transmitida no nosso país pela :2. Ah, já quase me esquecia, hoje é transmitido mais um episódio no canal que referi anteriormente, às 22h30. Imperdível!

Encontrei estas maravilhosas pinturas elaboradas em passeios, completamente lisos, numa das minhas visitas diárias ao Bitaites.

War of the Worlds

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Depois do já estreado mundialmente "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith", aqui está outro dos filmes mais aguardados deste ano. O novo filme de Steven Spielberg estreia dia 29 de Junho e o elenco é composto por nomes como Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins, Miranda "Eowyn" Otto e a impressionante Dakota Fanning. Os trailers deste filme já habitam há algum tempo o nosso espaço virtual, podem clicar aqui para visualizarem alguns deles. Para quem pretenda mais informações sobre o tão esperado remake da história brilhantemente criada por H.G. Wells, em 1953, recomendo a visita à página oficial do filme. Agora só nos resta usufruir do terceiro capítulo da saga criada, em 1977, por George Lucas e esperar pela estreia desta Guerra dos Mundos. Até lá não se esqueçam de uma coisa...

"They're already here."

Nine Inch Nails "Hurt"

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

"Hurt"

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 this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappear
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

Viagem Alucinante à Bracalândia

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Como estágio para a viagem final à Eurodisney o pessoal decidiu que era melhor começar por este pequeno parque de diversões situado no Norte do país, a Bracalândia. O próximo ponto de estágio antes de Paris será a Sevilha, à Isla Mágica. Foi um dia muito divertido mas, pessoalmente, "gargalhei" mais com viagem que antecedeu a descoberta da localização do nosso destino de hoje. Também gostei muito de estar próximo do mar em Espinho e, como é mais que lógico, o deslumbre do meu Estádio do Dragão. Quem não viu essa maravilha da construção civil foi a minha Moky que fartou-se de mimir, mimir, mimir... Abraços & beijinhos para todos os que fizeram com que este dia mereça ser recordado!

Beth Gibbons "Mysteries"

Image hosted by Photobucket.com


God knows how I adore life
When the wind turns on the shores lies another day
I cannot ask for more

When the time bell blows my heart
And I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime

Oh mysteries of love
Where war is no more
I'll be there anytime

When the time bell blows my heart
And I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime

Mysteries of love
Where war is no more
I'll be there anytime

Alanis em Coimbra [Queima das Fitas, 2005]

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Como foi o concerto da Alanis Morissette na Queima das Fitas de Coimbra, no passado dia 9 de Maio? O melhor que já vi numa queima! Esteve tudo perfeito, desde a escolha das músicas que a cantora canadiana apresentou até à camisola que vestiu para o espectáculo. Claro que para isso também contribuiu o ambiente nocturno do parque nessa noite e o grupo de pessoas com que estava, em especial a minha Moky e o meu amigo C.C. Sem dúvida, uma das melhores noites, e princípio da manhã (lol), que já vivi numa das noites do parque...

[gostaria de expressar os meus mais sinceros agradecimentos à rapariga que nos tirou fotos no meio da multidão, à amiga do Carlos pela mesma razão, aos seguranças que me deixaram entrar por engano com o cartão de cliente da Bertrand, às duas almas caridosas (sei que uma delas é finalista no curso de Enfermagem) que emprestaram temporariamente as suas capas académicas, ao inventor do batido B.B.C., às pessoas responsáveis pela distribuição de balões no recinto, a todas as pessoas que me deram encontrões e pediram desculpa e, the last but not least, ao anjo que desceu dos céus nessa noite para ver nos olhos da Moky o que eu vejo todos os dias, e pela oferta material e espiritual com que nos brindou. hehehe]

"Eight Easy Steps"
[a música que abriu maravilhosamente o concerto]

How to stay paralyzed by fear of abandonment
How to defer to men in solveable predicaments
How to control someone to be a carbon copy of you
How to have that not work and have them run away from you

How to keep people at arms length and never get too close
How to mistrust the ones who supposedly love the most
How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone

I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
A course of a lifetime you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best

How to hate women when you're supposed to be a feminist
How to play all pious when you're really a hypocrite
How to hate god when you're a player and a spiritualist
How to sabotage your fantasies by fears of success

I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
A course of a lifetime you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best

I've been doing research for years
I've been practicing my ass off
I've been training my whole life for this moment I swear to you
Culminating just to be this well-versed leader before you

I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
A course of a lifetime you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best

How to lie to yourself and thereby to everyone else
How to keep smiling when you're thinking of killing yourself
How to numb a la holic to avoid going within
How to stay stuck in blue by blaming them for everything

I'll teach you all this in 8 easy steps
A course of a lifetime you'll never forget
I'll show you how to in 8 easy steps
I'll show you how leaderships looks when taught by the best

"You Oughta Know"
[sim, ela cá em Coimbra disse mesmo "fuck"]

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you died, til you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

"This Grudge"
[a melhor música & letra do último álbum]

Fourteen years
Thirty minutes
Fifteen seconds I've
Held this grudge

Eleven songs
Four full journals
Thoughts of punishment
I've expended

Not in contact
Not a letter
Such communication
Telepathic
You've been vilified
Used as fodder
You deserve a piece
Of every record

But who's it hurting now?
Who's the one that's stuck?
Who's it torturing now
With an antique knot in her stomach?

I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that's grown old
All this time I've not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us

Like an abandoned house
Dusty covered
Furniture
Still intact
If I visit it now
Will I simply re-live it
Somehow gratuitous

But who's still aching now?
Who's tired of her own voice?
Who is it weighing down
With no gift from time of said healing

I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that's grown old
All this time I've not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us

Maybe as I cut the cord
Veils will lift from my eyes
Maybe as I lay this to rest
Dead weight off my shoulders will rise

Here I sit
Much determined
Ever ill-equipped
To draw this curtain
How this has entertained
Validated
And has served me well
Ever the victim

But who's done whining now?
Who's ready to put down
This load I've carried longer than I had cared to remember

I want to be big and let go
Of this grudge that's grown old
For the life of me I've not known
How to rest this bygone
I wanna be soft and resolved
Clean of slate and released
I wanna forgive for the both of us.

"Symptons"
[a minha música favorita dela, estranhamente nunca editada em nenhum dos seus álbuns]

a missile sent today
killed only 3
the rest were saved
they're far enough away
to not really feel
the direct effect on me

they caught him today
based ridiculously
on his race
they weren't sure
he even did it
but they needed a random face

are these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause?
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are
separate we are separate
disconnected in this unity

he won today
smug self-satisfaction
on his face
he blew the others
out of the water
he said he was glad they were disgraced

are these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause?
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are
separate we are separate
disconnected in this unity

he stole what he could
he only had minutes
before he'd be caught
he justified
every penny taken
by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not

are these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause?
I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are
separate we are separate
disconnected in this unity
separate we are separate
disconnected in this unity
