[Apúlia, Janeiro'09]

... são uma das minhas grandes paixões.

Neste Dia Nacional dos Moinhos, um post a lembrá-los.

A imagem tem como banda sonora La molineira, pela diva Né Ladeiras com Pedro Jóia, no álbum Voz & Guitarra:

# CCXCVI - Recordar

[Rio, Março'09]

Nostalgias.

Levei-os a ver os lugares da minha infância - agora que eles vivem as suas.

Soube muito bem.

E Abril chegou. Este dia 04/04. E eu que nem sou de datas, senti a sua chegada.

Nos olhos deles, nas perguntas que faziam, nas histórias que lhes contava - o sabor duma saudade. De pessoas, de vivências, de partilhas.

Mas o presente também se vive. E as memórias fazem-se presentes.

Há uma voz nova por cá. Adriana. O cd toca em mode repeat.

Altamente! - diria qualquer puto, ao aprovar uma coisa qualquer.

Altamente! - digo eu, aprovando este trabalho.

[As janelas de oportunidades - Mar'09]

Dias claros, músicas alegres... problemas afastados, boa disposição!

A primeira premissa - S.Pedro assume-a e, nestes dias mais recentes, tem feito a sua parte.

A terceira das premissas - cabe a cada um de nós o esforço.

A quarta delas - é uma consequência, mais ou menos directa, das outras três.

Quanto à segunda - podemos entregá-la aos 'tugas The Guys From the Caravan com este tema The guy from the caravan:

Do you remember when we first kissed?
Your innocent lips were so hard to miss,
You grabbed my hand and said
"You're the best thing I've ever had
Since my last one night stand
With the guy from the caravan"

Do you remember, you were sixteen back then,
You looked so innocent, but you made me feel like a man...
You've always had so much love to give
So much that love you had to leave
I don't mind ‘cause I always knew
About the guy from the caravan

Ohhh simple life
I'm just a simple man
[just a simple man]
I just need a bit of sunshine
You're the girl I've always dreamed
Ohhh simple life
I'm just a simple man
gimme gimme your sweet love
You're my girl and I'm your man
For life...

Do you remember the wedding we had?
White doves were flying all over your head
But up there with the band there he was, it was him again
It's a face I'll never forget
Yes.... The guy from the caravan

Our love has grown so strong I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way,
And so to no surprise,
I choose just to close my eyes,
Save my self from demise,
As he comes with the caravan ...

Ohhh simple life I'm just a simple man
[he's just a simple man]
I just need a bit of sunshine
You're the girl I've always dreamed
Ohhh simple life I'm just a simple man
[just a simple man]
gimme gimme your sweet love
You're my girl and I'm your man
For life...

[Sabia do calendário, abriu-se assim. Jardim, 21Mar2009]


E, um dia...




Ronan Keating - "This Is Your Song"

Live your life to the fall
With a lifetime of smiles
Made us know right from wrong
Always knowing a lie
You made us to be tough
But never too rough
Rise above what you said
Never easily lead.

And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two

You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

So I'll try and go on
Loving all that we know
Through the hardest of times
you put on a show
You made us stand tall
When all around us would fall
Even when you were alone
You believed you could fly

And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
I wrote it for you
It won't take all day
Just a minute or two

You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song
We wrote it for you
It'll take all our lives
Just to help us get through
You were a friend
Walk with you to the end
And one day we'll all sing along
'Cause this is your song

# CCXCIII - Are we dancer?

.
.
.

Olhamos? Vemos?

Mostramos? Somos?

Qual a parte que tem mais peso, em cada um de nós? A muito trabalhada, revestida a dourado e visível ou a ainda em bruto, escondida e, muitas vezes, bem maior?

Assumimo-nos como humanos (pensantes, decisores, racionais e/ou emotivos) ou seremos tão somente, marionetas (manobrados, condicionados, agrilhoados e coniventes) imersos num imenso tabuleiro imaginário?

[Escultura das Galerias da Miguel Bombarda, Mar'09]

The Killers - Human


I did my best to notice
when the call came down the line
up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
and sometimes I get nervous
when I see an open door

Close your eyes, clear your heart

Cut the cord
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I´m on my knees
looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
send my condolences to good
give my regards to soul and romance
they always did the best they could
and so long to devotion,
you taught me everything I know
wave good bye, wish me well


You gotta let me go
are we human or are we dancer?
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I´m on my knees
looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer?

Will your system be all right
when you dream of home tonight
there is no message we're receiving
let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human or are we dancer?
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I´m on my knees
looking for the answer

You´ve gotta let me know
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I´m on my knees
looking for the answer
are we human
or are we dancer?

Are we human or are we dancer???
