Melodias que me fizeram...

Um original de Tim Buckley (pai de Jeff Buckley), interpretado por Elizabeth Fraser. Uma das melodias que me fez...

This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.

And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?

Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

Two cents of nothing

Estranha e misteriosamente relaxante... Mas porquê?

Jake Shimabukuru é o melhor tocador de Ukelele do planeta. Esta é apenas mais uma das inúmeras provas. O primo do cavaquinho nunca mais soará da mesma maneira, a partir de agora.

Das decisões

O cérebro e a tomada inconsciente de decisões, por Eric Kandel, o neurocirgião prémio Nobel da Medicina. Ou como, às vezes, a tomada de decisões pelo inconsciente se torna a melhor decisão.

Game of Thrones é, literalmente, uma série fantástica.

Melodias que me fizeram...

Bon Iver - "Skinny Love"

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Right in this moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

And in the morning i'll be with you

But it will be a different "kind"

I'll be holding all the tickets

And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here

Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient

I told you to be fine

I told you to be balanced

I told you to be kind

Now all your love is wasted?

Then who the hell was i?

Now i'm breaking at the britches

And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?

Who will fight?

Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, oohh...

Ao(s) pé(s) de Deus

Cena única na história da humanidade: dois Papas que se encontram. Num ano em que o mundo ia acabar, a cumprir-se uma determinada profecia; um meteoro quase arruma com o nosso planeta; e a crise de tudo, de valores em primeiro lugar, vai de vento em popa, ficam as imagens que merecem reflexão. Vivemos estranhos e intrigantes tempos! Tem tanto de inusitado como de interessante, este pequeno filme que relata o encontro do Papa emérito com o actual Papa, ontem, em Castel Gandolfo.
