Dúvida Existencial #1

Qual surgiu primeiro?

O catálogo do D-Mail ou o Professor Pardal?

Motivation:

Extremely fragile. Handle with care. This side up.

(Under Karaoke Effect) Redundancy

At a certain point of a conversation, someone says:
- Well... I really don't know and I really don't care.
- Who said that?
- Well I really don't know and I really don't care. But you could ask who sang that...

Estamos todos à espera de ser salvos. Aqui (ou mais abaixo) está uma boa metáfora para contrariar essa sensação que se tornou generalizada ao comum dos mortais. Incapazes de o fazermos por nós mesmos, acreditamos – por breve que seja a ilusão, é já suficiente – que um ser superior o fará por nós. Melhor: a superioridade emerge nada mais nada menos do que na forma de outro mortal, travestido de transcendentalidade. E mesmo os ateus caem na esparrela…

Mais valia fazer como o Morrissey: “Dear God, if I could, I would help you”. Sim, mas poderemos entretanto salvar-nos a nós próprios?

“When You Were Young

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now - here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know”

by The Killers

Insegurança nos transportes

Os motoristas da Carris encontraram a solução. Ou nunca se questionaram quanto ao porquê de os autocarros da referida empresa terem por hábito andarem aos pares - ou mesmo aos trios? Da próxima vez que pensarem em refilar por causa dos mais de trinta minutos de espera na paragem, lembrem-se: é apenas em prol da segurança. Engraçado mesmo será quando os taxistas adoptarem esta técnica.

Super Pop II

It tastes good, then why can't it be tasteful?

Super Pop

Não o detergente, mas uma condição privilegiada na herança musical. Não há uma receita - há génio(s); muito trabalho e uma grande dose de sinceridade no método escolhido. Com perfeccionismo e perseverança, põem em prática uma pop praticamente perfeita. É popular, mas derrete os elitismos da alta cultura. Fazendo uma média de três, quatro minutos para cada faixa, em que se retém apenas o essencial, mas compensando no número de canções que compõem o repertório. Talvez não sejam eternos, mas as carochas não se querem como os diamantes.

Because "we all live in a yellow submarine" and we need the right soundtrack for that.

São super e são pop. E podemos ouvi-los sem sentimentos de culpa.

"We Can Work It Out

Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking 'til I can't go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out

Think of what you're saying
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight or say good night
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short and there's no time
for fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out

Life is very short and there's no time
for fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again

Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out"

by The Beatles

Yet another mask

When we go through Woody Allen’s Another Woman, one sentence strikes us right at the exit:

“I wondered if a memory is something you have or something you've lost.”

The verb you decide to apply to your past defines the way you perceive yourself in the present. In the mix of the things we’ve achieved and the expectations we keep, there’s still a lot of space for interpretation. Our own view of things and its confrontation with other’s. But in the end, we’re all alone with our most intimate ones and the question rises:

Behind which mask do we choose to hide and seek for ourselves?

"Ana's Song (Open Fire)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the filth
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you"
