Melodias que me fizeram...

Faixa retirada de um dos álbuns da minha vida.

The Felt - "She lives by the castle"

How could you be so cold with me
when I have been so warm with you
just one touch please in the morning light
when the sun don't come through your window
I still want to be warm
You won't show yourself to me
You won't show yourself to me
 she lives by the castle
 she lives by the castle
 Why do you play those games with me
you foolishly thought I would not join in
just your luck I'm a losing man
'cause any game that I play I never win
You won't throw yourself at me
You won't throw yourself at me
 she lives by the castle
 she lives by the castle
 and she's noble as a queen (that's for sure)
I'm not impressed by the life you lead
your innocence will surely make you fail
it's a miracle you're not cynical
your mind is like a vacant lot that's for sale
I don't know what you need
I don't know what you need
 she lives by the castle
 she lives by the castle
 she lives by the castle
 and she's noble as a queen (that's for sure)

Ter um Mac

Paulo Querido é um consultor de TI, com páginas e colunas em algumas publicações nacionais. Lembro-me que, durante anos, foi um confesso detractor da Apple e dos seus produtos. Sempre, honra lhe seja feita, de forma explícita. Até que um dia, há pouquinhos anos atrás, se não me falha a memória,  comprou um Mac... Hoje relata a sua "nova vida" no seu blog. Nada como ter "visto a luz".

Se não tens cão...

Os Atomic Tom são americanos, de Brooklin, NY. Há dias foram assaltados e ficaram sem os seus instrumentos musicais. Homens cheios de recursos (verdadeiros homo zappiens) e conhecedores dos caminhos dos media actuais, pegaram nos seus iPhones e foram para o metro (linha B) onde gravaram um dos vídeos virais de mais sucesso da net. Os aparelhos estavam ligados a colunas externas. Nada mais. E não é que "Take me Out" até nem soa nada mal?!

Melodias que me fizeram...

The Divine Comedy -”If...”

If you were the road

I'd go all the way

If you were the night

I'd sleep in the day

If you were the day

I'd cry in the night

'Cause you are the way

The truth and the light

If you were a tree

I could put my arms around you

And you could not complain

If you were a tree

I could carve my name into your side

And you would not cry,

'Cos trees don't cry

If you were a man

I would still love you

If you were a drink

I'd drink my fill of you

If you were attacked

I would kill for you

If your name was Jack

I'd change mine to Jill for you

If you were a horse

I'd clean the crap out of your stable

And never once complain

If you were a horse

I could ride you through the fields at dawn

Through the day until the day was gone

I could sing about you in my songs

As we rode away into the setting sun

If you were my little girl

I would find it hard to let you go

If you were my sister

I would find it doubly so

If you were a dog

I'd feed you scraps from off the table

Though my wife complains

If you were my dog

I am sure you'd like it better

Then you'd be my loyal four legged friend

You'd never have to think again

And we could be together till the end

Senti-me chileno

...com esta notícia.

Perfume de génio

Life can be good

Porque, vezes de mais, damos por adquirida uma vida que pode sempre dar muitas voltas. Publicidade made in Portugal que convida à reflexão.

Obrigado, Mili.

A propósito

É tudo uma questão de perspectiva.

Saúdo...

...a chegada da RIM, responsável pelos BlackBerry, ao mundo dos tablet pc. O PlayBook parece-me ser um produto interessantíssimo e capaz de tentar rivalizar com o iPad.

Melodias que me fizeram...

The Smiths - "Heaven knows I'm miserable now"

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die ?

Two lovers entwined pass me by

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job

And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life

Oh, why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die ?

What she asked of me at the end of the day

Caligula would have blushed

"You've been in the house too long" she said

And I (naturally) fled

In my life

Why do I smile

At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour

But heaven knows I'm miserable now

"You've been in the house too long" she said

And I (naturally) fled

In my life

Why do I give valuable time

To people who don't care if I live or die ?
