Fiona Apple - O' Sailor

Extraordinary machine, 2005


I'm undecided about you again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double-sided, cause I ruined it all
-But also saved myself, by never believing you, Dear

Everything good, I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards

O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards

I have too been playing with fifty-two cards
- Just cause I play so far from my vest
Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard
What could I do, but spend my best

O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards

O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards

And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me
And in its wake, appeared the touch and call
Of a different breed
One who set to get me wise, and got me there
And then, got me

And what a thing, to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse; to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me

O' Sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards
O' sailor, why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Giving me eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards

Como não podia deixar de ser, hoje:

PARABÉNS

irmão!

vai um brinde?? (ou, como diz o X., vamos bater os copos?)

Bom Natal!!!

(Com a Serra da Gardunha, lá longe, como pano de fundo... como temperatura exterior, cerca de 0ºC...)

Cova da Beira

Fim-de-semana na Cova da Beira. A paisagem parecia de fim de Verão.

Campos cheios de ervas secas. Incêndios na Serra da Estrela. Dias luminosos de sol intenso e limpidez atmosférica.

Contrastaram com o frio enorme que senti...

Já há muito tempo que não tinha a experiência de sair de casa (já enregelada...) e sentir um congelamento instantâneo da cara e das mãos por acção do grau centrígrado que se fazia sentir.

Gostei muito de relembrar as paisagens, as casas e as pessoas. Deixo aqui algumas fotos de novas decorações urbanas e também de recantos que fazem parte da minhas memórias de criança e que foi bom voltar a rever.

Lions for lambs

Epá não gostei nada da dentadura nova do Robert Redford no novo filme que ele realizou e onde também entra como actor... Não será melhor manter a mesma aparência que nos encantou anteriormente? Estragou-me um bocado o imaginário que levou anos e anos a construir...

Do filme, achei que soube a pouco e que teve um final completamente inesperado, no sentido de não estar mesmo nada à espera que acabasse naquele instante. Hum... esperava mais, ó Robert.

Control

Love will tear us apart
Joy Division

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were 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 theres still this appeal
That weve 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 cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
