EQUINOCCIO

Foto: @anabelcat6 (20/mar/11)

   Todo un viaje desde la noche del sábado 19 de marzo. Desde la enorme y bellísima luna llena, pasando por el amanecer que me llamó para contemplarlo (en serio... ¡Me despertó!), hasta el momento previo al equinoccio en el que comencé a redactar esta entrada.  
   ¡Yo despierta a las 5:30 de la madrugada sin despertador! Para quienes no me conocen, deben saber que esta situación es inaudita, a menos que haya pasado la noche despierta. Bastante frecuente.
   
  Cuando terminé de andar por mi barrio, contemplando, tomando fotos (como la que les comparto al inicio de esta entrada) y meditando en movimiento, llegué a casa con una frase en la cabeza: ¡Música maestra!
  Así que aquí estoy. Después de concluir la chamba que tenía pendiente para hoy domingo 20 de marzo, iniciando la preparación de esta entrada para ¡celebrar la Vida!
   
Les comparto un par de selecciones que ya puse antes en una entrada, en abril del 2009, y que por ignotas razones se borró del blog. Se trata de To Be Alive y As folhas dançan ao vento, dos compilaciones a las que guardo especial cariño.

Sin más preámbulos, aquí están:


TO BE ALIVE

John Legend - Don't You Worry 'bout A Thing

Stevie Wonder

Everybody's got a thing

But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Just taking the things not worth havin'
Chorus:
But don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (Don't you worry, baby)
'Cause I'll be standing on the side when you check it out
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
Just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces
Chorus
When you get off your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Chorus
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
You're the only one who see
The changes you take yourself through
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing (Sweet baby)
'Cause I'll be standin' in the wings when you check it out
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry 'Cause I'll be right here
waitin' for you baby

Nina Hagen - Ruler Of My Heart

Donna Summer - Could it be magic (1976)
Barry Manilow

Spirits move me
Every time I´m near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Oh sweet Peter, angel of my lifetime
Answer to all answers I can find

Baby, I want you, come, come,
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now,
Now, and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?

Spoken:
Dont let go
Come into my life
I need you so, baby
Please don't go
Oh no, oh
I need you so, hold on, hold on

Baby, take me high upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you, build my world around you
Never leave you till my life is done

Baby, I want you, come, come,
Come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
And baby, I want you now, now,
Oh now, oh now, and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last?
Baby, I want you, come, come
Could this be the magic at last?

Could it be magic?
Come, cmon, cmon
Come oh oh come into my arms
Oh, let me know the wonder
Of all of you, all of you
Baby, I want you now, now,
Oh, let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby, I want you now, now, oh now

Corinne Bailey Rae - I'd Like To

(2006)

Lying with you reminds me of those days
Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave
Mother's in the garden inviting everyone
Ooo, we'd cut off our old jeans and go outside.
Neighboor's aways smiling with a baby on her knee
Rhea sat on the front step getting her hair combed out and greased
And music, the bass booming, pours from a car parked in the street
Got that new song on repeat.

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things.

Growing up we didn't have a lot of money
Used to spend our summers having parties on the drive
Plastic cups for rum and punch, eating chicken that's hot and sweet
All the women discussing what love is like
Ooh you know what I mean, and I'm just sitting watching hoping the boys will call for me
Got that new song on repeat.

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that i desire the simple things.

Maybe then I will know I want somebody
Delicate, intimate, used to dream of someone to love
Now you come andyou go right by me,
I know I'm in love

I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that I desire the simple things
I'd, I'd like to put my fingers on you
I'd, I'd like to paint these pictures for you
Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from
I'm just trying to make you see that I desire the simple things

Bronski Beat (Jimmy Somerville & Marc Almond) - I Feel Love/ Johnny Remember (1985)

 

Natalie Cole - This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)

(Classic Long Version) (1975)

 Natalie Cole

This will be
An everlasting love
This will be
The one I've waited for
This will be
The first time anyone has loved me, oh...oh...oh...
I'm so glad
He found me in time
And I'm so glad that
He rectified my mind
This will be
An everlasting love for me, whoa, ho
Loving you
Is some kind of wonderful
Because you've shown me
Just how much you care
You've given me the thrill of a lifetime
And made me believe you've got more thrills to spare, oh
This will be
And everlasting love, oh, yes, it will now
You've brought a lot of sunshine into my life
You've filled me with happiness I never knew
You gave me more joy than I ever dreamed of
And no one, no one can take the place of you
This will be, you and me, yes, siree, eternally
Huggin' and squeezin' and kissin' and pleasin' together foreverthrough
rain or whatever
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you and me
So long as I'm livin' true love I'll be givin', to you I'll beservin'
cause you're so deservin'
Hey, you're so deservin'
You're so deservin', yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The love, the love, the love, the love, the love, the love, love,love,
love, love
The love, the love, the love, the love, the love, the love, love,love
From now on, from now on, from now on, from now on
From now on, from now on, from now on, from now on
From now on, from now on, from now on, from now on

Tem que tá bonito, tem que dar cura ao espirito
Take Saravá e dizer poemas (Hei ééh)
Seja assim, moreno,
porque há, desde pequeno,
um lugar se está nessa cantilena
 
Sonhos e sonhos de lata,
nós merecemos os beijos do lado dos carros amassados
Olho na lua de barro,
não ache que sombra é sonho pirata pulado no lamaçal

Gosto de violão, ter estrada para andar
Gosto de down down...
..devun deva pah pah ahhh..
..devun deva pah pah ahhh..

(vocalizza)

Djavan - Tanta Saudade 

Djavan - Sina (Remix) 

Djavan - Azul

Eu não sei

Se vem de Deus
Do céu ficar azul
Ou virá
Dos olhos teus
Essa cor
Que azuleja o dia...
Se acaso anoitecer
E o céu perder o azul
Entre o mar e o entardecer
Alga marinha, vá na maresia
Buscar ali um cheiro de azul
Essa côr não sai de mim
Bate e finca pé
A sangue de rei...
Até o sol nascer amarelinho
Queimando mansinho
Cedinho, cedinho (cedinho)
Corre e vá dizer
Pro meu benzinho
Um dizer assim
O amor é azulzinho...
Até o sol nascer amarelinho
Queimando mansinho
Cedinho, cedinho cedinho
Corre e vá dizer
Pro meu benzinho
Um dizer assim
O amor é azulzinho...
(Repetir a letra)

Show no Estúdio Oi Novo Som.

Cris Delanno
Pode sambar, pode esquecer
Na orgia a sua vida
Até amanhecer
Pode girar, enlouquecer
Madrugada afora na batida
Cedo ou tarde
Chova ou faça sol
Sopre o sudoeste, sopre o terral
Brisa leve, temporal
O meu coração, 42 graus
Não tem pressa
Rave ou Carnaval
Se te pego pra dançar
Você nunca mais me larga
Technova, cha cha cha
Você não vai escapar
Pode espalhar sua beleza
Que o meu desejo hoje é só certeza
Desafiar a natureza
Abandonando o corpo entre carrapetas
Vai desfilar sua leveza
Na escuridão da pista, na batida
Cedo ou tarde
Chova ou faça sol
Sopre o sudoeste, sopre o terral
Brisa leve, temporal
O meu coração, 42 graus
Não tem pressa
Rave ou Carnaval
Se eu te levo pra dançar
Nunca mais você me larga
Drum n' bossa, Ijexá
Não me escapa!

 Uma Batida Diferente
