Summer Kisses, Winter Tears (música que se ouve dentro do carro)

Summer kisses, Winter tears
That was what she gave to me
Never thought that I'd travel all alone
The trail of memories

Happy hours, lonely years
But I guess I can't complain
For I still recall the Summer sun
Through all the Winter rain

The fire of love, the fire of love
Can burn from afar
And nothing can light the dark of the night
Like a falling star

Summer kisses, Winter tears
Like the stars they fade away
Leaving me to spend my lonely nights
With dreams of yesterday

Versão original: Elvis Presley - gravada a 8 de Agosto de 1960
Letra e música: Wise/ Weisman/ Lloyd)

Morcheeba - Dive Deep - Enjoy the Ride (feat. Judy Tzuke)

Shut the gates and sunset
After that you can't get out
You can see the bigger picture
Find out what it’s all about
You're open to the skyline
You won't want to go back home
In a garden full of angels
You will never be alone

But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone

With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive

And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

If you close the door to your house
Don't let anybody in
It's a room that's full of nothing
All that underneath your skin
Face against the window
You can't watch it fade to grey
And you'll never catch the fickle wind
If you choose to stay

But oh the road is long
The stones that you are walking on
Have gone

With the moonlight to guide you
Feel the joy of being alive
The day that you stop running
Is the day that you arrive

And the night that you got locked in
Was the time to decide
Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

Stop chasing shadows
Just enjoy the ride

stotd: Nouvelle Vague - In a Manner of Speaking

In a Manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking
I don't understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything


50x obrigado à P.F. pela partilha, mesmo que indirecta. Gostei muito.

Cat Power - Lived in Bars

we've lived in bars
and danced on the tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes in the air

send in the trumpets
the marching wheelchairs
open the blankets and give them some air
swords and arches bones and cement
the lights and the dark of the innocent of men

we know your house so very well
and we will wake you once we've walked up
all your stairs

there's nothing like living in a bottle
and nothing like ending it all for the world
we're so glad you will come back
every living lion will lay in your lap
the kid has a homecoming the champion the horse
who's gonna play drums guitar or organ with chorus
as far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand
never have we caught a glimpse of this man

we know your house so very well
and we will bust down your door if you're not there

we've lived in bars
and danced on tables
hotels trains and ships that sail
we swim with sharks
and fly with aeroplanes out of here
out of here

Soundtrack of the day: Goldfrapp - Felt Montain - Utopia

"A utopia está lá no horizonte. Aproximo-me dois passos, ela afasta-se dois passos. Caminho dez passos e o horizonte corre dez passos. Por mais que eu caminhe, jamais alcançarei. Para que serve a utopia? Serve para isso: para que eu não deixe de caminhar."
Eduardo Galeano

O que vinha mesmo a calhar era...

... umas favas com chouriço (para ouvir até ao fim).

Inspirador. Grande Cid.

Encontrar o Wall•E

Wall•E, realizado por Andrew Stanton (Procurando Nemo, entre outros sucessos), é a 9º longa-metragem de animação da Pixar e promete deliciar os amantes, como eu, deste género de cinema.

Meet CAT POWER and her JUKEBOX

Ultimamente tenho tido um pouco mais de tempo livre, que tenho dedicado às coisas que mais gosto de fazer, entre elas, descobrir novas sonoridades.

Recomendado pelo meu primo Pedro, fiquei surpreendido com "Jukebox", o oitavo e mais recente álbum da cantora e compositora Chan Marshall, ou Cat Power.

Composto principalmente por "covers", é mais uma sugestão que vos deixo para as noites quentes de verão.

The Monty Hall Problem

Acredito que alguma da "verdadeira inteligência" está em conseguir, inata e intuitivamente, ver os problemas de fora para dentro.

Assim, é possível optar pela resposta menos óbvia e contra intuitiva, que se revela, grande parte das vezes, na acertada.

Children see. Children do.

A última aula do Professor Randy Pausch

Na sua emocionante aula, deu conselhos sobre a melhor maneira de alcançar os objetivos pessoais e profissionais de cada um.

Vale a pena ver até ao fim e reflectir.
