Cheguei á pouco a casa e decidi fazer algo que não fazia à muito tempo! Escrever....!
Ao escrever estas linhas, ouço as "Regras da Sensatez" do Rui Veloso, uma letra que talvez seja uma das mais belas coisas escritas em toda a existência!
"As Regras da Sensatez"
"Nunca voltes ao lugar onde já foste feliz
Por muito que o coração diga, não faças o que ele diz
Nunca mais voltes à casa onde ardeste de paixão
só encontrarás erva rasa por entre as lages do chão
Nada do que por lá vires será como no passado
Não queiras reacender um lume já apagado
São as regras da sensatez
vais sair a dizer que desta, desta é de vez
Por grande a tentação que te crie a saudade
Não mates a recordação que lembra a felicidade
Nunca voltes ao lugar onde o arco-íris se pôs
Só encontrarás a cinza que dá na garganta nós
São as regras da sensatez
vais sair a dizer que desta, desta é de vez
só mais uma vez...."

Jeff Buckley, infelizmente já não se encontra entre nós, mas a sua musica estará presente para sempre! Magui, obrigado por tudo! E por me teres dado a conhecer... ;)
"Hallelujah"
"Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
...
Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
And She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
...
Well baby I've been here before
I’ve seen this room and I've walked this floor
(You Know)I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
...
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
...
Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd OUT DREW YA
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
...
Hallelujah
...
Hallelujah..."

Esta "carta", lida nas Nações Unidas pelo ultimo imperador da Etiópia, dirigindo-se ao mundo! Bob Marley adaptou-a e fez uma musica maravilhosa. "war" constitui uma imagem real do que se passou e passa no mundo! Escutem....
"War"
" Until the philosophy which hold one race superior
And another
Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned -
Everywhere is war -
Me say war.
That until there no longer
First class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes -
Me say war.
That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race -
Dis a war.
That until that day
The dream of lasting peace,
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never attained -
Now everywhere is war - war.
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes
that hold our brothers in Angola,
In Mozambique,
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled,
Utterly destroyed -
Well, everywhere is war -
Me say war.
War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south -
War - war -
Rumours of war.
And until that day,
The African continent
Will not know peace,
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary -
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil -
Good over evil, yeah!"
