Power of the people is much stronger than the people on power. – Bono Vox
Que bela prenda de aniversario antecipada! Finalmente é hoje que sai o novo album dos U2, cheio de musicas antigas mas remasterizadas de uma forma diferente e especial. 🙂
Li uma entrevista do Tim dos Xutos ao Jornal Expresso em que discordo completamente com o que ele diz… pois vindo de uma pessoa que ja não lança originais ha muito tempo devia se remeter ao silencio, digo eu.
Mas primeiro saiu o livro que ja o li, quer dizer ouvi na voz de Bono Vox.
Um livro cantado com uma mensagem muito forte para a humanidade. Bono Vox, admirado por muitos, eu incluída, odiado por outros tantos, coisa que nao consigo entender… como é que é possível não se gostar de pessoas que fazem o bem? Uma coisa é não gostar com motivos e fundamentos, pois não somos obrigados a gostar todos do mesmo. Outra coisa é não gostar por maldade, so por gozo em criticar, sem conhecer realmente a pessoa nem os seus feitos.
Neste livro Bono fala de tudo um pouco. Sobre as suas vivencias, projectos altruístas e e sobre as suas relações pessoais e com a banda.
Para quem tiver curiosidade, procurem numa livraria ou Fnac mais próximas 🙂
Ah e a banda vai lançar este album em vinil na cor verde com o patrocínio do Spotify. O album estará também disponível na plataforma da Apple Music a partir de amanha para subscritores da mesma.
A propósito da nova musica dos U2 para o filme Sing 2, hoje trago-vos uma musica que salvou minha vida, que por sinal é dos U2. Pois é, a musica ONE ajudou-me a recuperar da Depressão que tive em 1999. Inspirou-me. Deu-me forças para continuar.Acreditem que a ouvi vezes sem conta e isso ajudou-me bastante. Cheguei a um ponto em que a ouvia a musica em loop na minha cabeça e cada palavra serviu como um alerta para eu me despertar e voltar a viver.
Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blameYou say, one love, one life When it’s one need in the night One love, we get to share it Leaves you baby if you don’t care for itDid I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go withoutWell it’s too late tonight To drag the past out into the light We’re one but we’re not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One!Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus? To the lepers in your headDid I ask too much? More than a lot You gave me nothin’ now it’s all I got We’re one but we’re not the same Well we hurt each other then we do it againYou say love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl And I can’t be holdin’ on to what you got When all you got is hurtOne love, one blood One life, you got to do what you should One life, with each other Sisters, brothersOne life but we’re not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One One
Deixo-vos com a nova musica dos U2 que me levou a escrever este post, Your Song Saved My Life. O video conta com a participação de jovens músicos que me fizeram lembrar os miúdos da escolaGlobal Academy, aqui ao lado de nossa casa, onde eles aprendem Multimédia, Musica e Dança 🙂 Dá gosto vê-los felizes quando passam aqui na rua 🙂 O Louis adora… quem sabe um dia também não fará parte desta escola 😉
Was a Monday morning about a quarter past four You were busy dreaming So what did you wake up for?Are you a stranger in your own life? What are you hiding behind those eyes? Is no one looking for you there?You know your song saved my life I don’t sing it just so I can get by Won’t you hear me when I tell you, darling I sing it to surviveYou’re looking for a miracle The kind that science can’t explain The man you carry in your heart Is only comfortable when he’s in painAre you a stranger in your own life? What are you hiding behind those eyes? Can anyone find you there? Or just me?You know your song saved my life I don’t sing it just so I can get by Won’t you hear me when I tell you, darling I sing it to surviveYour song saved my life The worst and the best days of my life I was broken, now I’m open, your love keeps me alive It keeps me aliveYour song saved my life The worst and the best days of my life Your song saved my lifeSong saved my Song saved myYour song saved my life Your song got me through tonight Your song saved my lifeSong saved my Song saved my life
E vocês, também têm alguma musica que vos tenha salvo?
A Natureza sabe sempre o que faz. Podemos estar em quarentena. Podemos nao poder sair de casa mas a Natureza faz-nos sempre acreditar quando nos oferece dias bonitos como estes. A Primavera chegou em grande, com dias de sol. Mas temos de ter cuidado pois as noites continuam a ser muito frias. 🙂

Hoje trago-vos 3 musicas com o mesmo titulo: It’s a Beautiful Day 🙂
Gosto muito das 3 mas ja podem adivinhar qual é a minha preferida 😉
It’s a beautiful day The sun is shining I feel good And no-one’s gonna stop me now, oh yeah It’s a beautiful day I feel good, I feel right And no-one, no-one’s gonna stop me now Mama Sometimes I feel so sad, so sad, so bad But no-one’s gonna stop me now, no-one It’s hopeless, so hopeless to even try
The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground There’s no room No space to rent in this town You’re out of luck And the reason that you had to care The traffic is stuck And you’re not moving anywhere You thought you’d found a friend To take you out of this place Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace It’s a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away You’re on the road But you’ve got no destination You’re in the mud In the maze of her imagination You’re lovin’ this town Even if that doesn’t ring true You’ve been all over And it’s been all over you It’s a beautiful day Don’t let it get away It’s a beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Teach me I know I’m not a hopeless case See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out See the Bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light and See the bird with a leaf in her mouth After the flood all the colors came out It was a beautiful day Don’t let it get away Beautiful day Touch me Take me to that other place Reach me I know I’m not a hopeless case What you don’t have you don’t need it now What you don’t know you can feel it somehow What you don’t have you don’t need it now Don’t need it now It was a beautiful day
I don’t know why You think that you could hold me When you can’t get by by yourself And I don’t know who Would ever wanna tear the seam of someone’s dream Baby, it’s fine, you said that we should just be friends Well, I came up with that line and I’m sure That it’s for the best If you ever change your mind, don’t hold your breath ‘Cause you may not believe That, baby, I’m relieved When you said goodbye, my whole world shined Hey hey hey It’s a beautiful day and I can’t stop myself from smilin’ If we’re drinkin’, then I’m buyin’ And I know there’s no denyin’ It’s a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music’s playin’ And even if it started rainin’ You won’t hear this boy complainin’ ‘Cause I’m glad that you’re the one who got away It’s a beautiful day It’s my turn to fly, so girls, get in line ‘Cause I’m easy, no playin’ this guy like a fool But now I’m alright You might’ve had me caged before, but not tonight And you may not believe That, baby, I’m relieved This fire inside, it burns too bright I don’t wanna say “so long”, I just wanna say “goodbye” It’s a beautiful day and I can’t stop myself from smilin’ If we’re drinkin’, then I’m buyin’ And I know there’s no denyin’ It’s a beautiful day, the sun is up, and music’s playin’ And even if it started rainin’ You won’t hear this boy complainin’ ‘Cause I’m glad that you’re the one who got away ‘Cause if you ever think I’ll take up My time with thinkin’ of our break-up Then you’ve got another thing comin’ your way ‘Cause it’s a beautiful day Beautiful day Oh, baby, any day that you’re gone away It’s a beautiful day

My love she throws me like a rubber ball Oh oh oh the sweetest thing But she won’t catch me, or break my fall Oh oh oh the sweetest thing Baby’s got blue skies overhead But in this I’m a rain cloud You know she likes a dry kind of love Oh oh oh the sweetest thing
I’m losing you Oh oh oh, I’m losing you yeah Ain’t love the sweetest thing The sweetest thing
I wanted to run, she made me crawl Oh oh oh the sweetest thing Eternal fire, she turned me to straw Oh oh oh the sweetest thing You know I got black eyes Buy they burn so brightly for her Mine is a blind kind of love Oh oh oh the sweetest thing
I’m loosing…
Blue eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl Oh oh oh the sweetest thing You can sew it up But you still see the tear Oh oh oh the sweetest thing Baby’s got blue skies overhead But in this I’m a rain cloud You know we got a stormy kind of love Oh oh oh the sweetest thing

Lancei o desafio no grupo Vidas quase perfeitas como tema livre, o proposto era falarem sobre uma musica ou uma imagem que vos dissesse muito, que fosse importante para vocês. E hoje trago-vos… a musica da minha vida 🙂
Sabem aquela musica que vocês ouvem vezes sem conta mas e sempre como se fosse a primeira vez? E quando a ouvem a vossa vida passa em slow motion pelo vosso cérebro… Sim, isto acontece-me com esta musica dos U2. Sei a letra de cor e salteado, ja a cansei vezes sem conta em karaoke…e as lagrimas vieram aos olhos quando a cantei no concerto deles. É como se esta musica fosse a banda sonora da minha vida pois de cada vez que a ouço cada palavra faz cada vez mais sentido para mim…
One é a terceira musica do álbum Achtung Baby dos U2, lançado em 1992 e na minha opinião fala sobre uma relação que não deu certo e para comprovar isto deixo-vos este facto: It could be about the dissolution of The Edge’s marriage to Aislinn O’Sullivan. The couple was having problems in their relationship and split soon after the sessions. Bono was the best man at their wedding.
Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life When it’s one need in the night One love, we get to share it Leaves you, baby, if you don’t care for it
Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without
Well, it’s too late, tonight To drag the past out into the light We’re one, but we’re not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One
Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much, more than a lot? You gave me nothing, now it’s all I got We’re one, but we’re not the same Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again
You say Love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl And I can’t keep holding on to what you got When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood One life you got to do what you should One life with each other: Sisters, brothers One life, but we’re not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One! One!
Ja conheciam esta musica?
E para voces qual e a musica que vos faz pensar na vida?
Dos tempos em que eu cantava Karaoke.. Ja la vão uns aninhos valentes , mais ou menos 15 🙂 Confesso que ja tenho saudades de pegar no microfone. Posso não cantar grande coisa, mas é uma sensação que me faz bem a alma. Desligas o complicometro e deixas-te levar 🙂
Knew the signs Wasn’t right I was stupid for a while Swept away by you And now I feel like a fool So confused, My heart’s bruised Was I ever loved by you?
Out of reach, so far I never had your heart Out of reach Couldn’t see We were never Meant to be…
I have climbed the highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you.
I have run, I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you.
But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for. But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for.
I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her finger tips It burned like fire (I was) burning inside her.
I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone.
But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for. But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for.
I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colours will bleed into one Bleed into one. But yes, I’m still running.
You broke the bonds And you loosed the chains Carried the cross of my shame Oh my shame, you know I believe it.
But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for. But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for.
But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for. But I still haven’t found What I’m looking for.
I wanna run, I want to hide I wanna tear down the walls That hold me inside. I wanna reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face. I see the dust-cloud Disappear without a trace. I wanna take shelter From the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name.
We’re still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It’s all I can do).
The city’s a flood, and our love turns to rust. We’re beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust. I’ll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name.
We’re still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It’s all I can do).
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails she makes me wait And I wait, without you
With or without you With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I’m waiting for you
With or without you With or without you I can’t live With or without you
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
My hands are tied My body bruised, she’s got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away
With or without you With or without you I can’t live With or without you Oh
With or without you With or without you I can’t live With or without you
With or without you
Green light, seven eleven You stop in for a pack of cigarettes You don’t smoke, don’t even want to I see you check your change Dressed up like a car crash The wheels are turning byt you’re upside down You say when he hits you, you don’t mind Because when he hurts you, you feel alive Is that what it is?
Red lights, gray morning You stumble out of a hole in the ground A vampire or a victim It depends on who’s around You used to stay in to watch the adverts You could lip sync to the talk shows
And if you look, you look through me And if you talk it’s not to me And when I touch you, you don’t feel a thing
If I could stay then the night would give you up Stay, and the day would keep it’s trust Stay, and the night would be enough
Faraway, so close Up with the static and the radio With satellite television You can go anywhere Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin
And if you listen I can’t call And if you jump, you just might fall And if you shout I’ll only hear you
If I could stay then the night would give you up Stay then the day would keep it’s trust Stay with the demons you drowned Stay with the spirit I found Stay and the night would be enough
Three o’clock in the morning It’s quiet and there’s no one around Just the bang and the clatter As an angel runs to ground Just the bang and the clatter As an angel hits the ground
E voces, gostam de cantar? Digam-me onde, no carro, no duche, vale tudo 😀
Quando tirei esta fotografia lembrei-me desta musica, e pensei que eles podiam muito bem ter feito este videoclip neste sitio hehe 🙂
I wanna run, I want to hide I wanna tear down the walls That hold me inside. I wanna reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face. I see the dust-cloud Disappear without a trace. I wanna take shelter From the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name.
We’re still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It’s all I can do).
The city’s a flood, and our love turns to rust. We’re beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust.
Com isto os U2 repetiram a proeza dos Beatles conforme podem ver na Wikipedia
Dos tempos em que eu cantava
