Colour of the wind - Vanessa williams (Video and lyrics)

 You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know ev'ry rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned ?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth

The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
In a cirle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you there he's been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind ?

How high does the sycamore grow ?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know

And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We just sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all colors of the wind

La vida, tan obscura - Gabriel Janer Manila

Ja he acabat de llegir La vida, tan obscura de Gabriel Janer Manila.

"Però aquella nit, ningú no sospitava el propòsit que na Margarida tenia d'escapar-se. També era com fugir de l'entranya dels pares: de l'ordre i la moral de sempre. El foc mancabava, mentre partien al llit. Eren més de les onze i comptava els minuts com de memòria: percebia el colpeig del  rellotge de caixa, les passes del pare que s'allunyaven de cap a la cambra, la xerradissa de na Rosa i n'Antoni com una estranya remor perduda, la rialla  - però només era el murmuri subtil d'un somriure- de la mare. I sabia que se'n sortiria, tanmateix, amb la seva. L'havia planificada detengudament, aquella fugida: marxaria en secret com un lladre, amb pressa de llançar-se als braços d'en Jaume, l'enamorat furtiu,  l'home que l'ajudaria a trencar tots els límits i a esborrar l'obsessió de veure's amb les ales del cor tallades"

Haruki Murakami - Tòquio Blues

 

Idioma: Català.

Pagines: 428.

 

 

Considerada el clàssic modern per excel·lència de la literatura japonesa. Tòquio Blues narra l'educació sentimental d'un jove estudiant al Tòquio dels anys seixanta. Introvertit, tímid i seriós. Toru Watanabe s'enamora de Naoko, una noia impenetrable, i pateix una crisi que el porta a l'aïllament social i a la reclusió. Davant les dificultats de la seva relació amb la Naoko, Toru es llança a una espiral de sexe esporàdic i un dia coneix la Midori, una noia vital, exuberant i plena de vida que revolucionarà el seu món ordenat i tranquil.

Tendra, escrita en to melancòlic i sensual i amb un ritme molt àgil. Tòquio blues narra, amb una encertada i equilibrada mescla de melancolia i sentit de l'humor, les angoixes adolescents, el desengany del primer amor i el trànsit a l'edat adulta.

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars ( Video and Lyrics)

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Natalie Imbruglia - Torn ( Video and Lyrics)

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm
He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know
Seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn

So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
Which crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn

There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right I'm torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Torn..

A-Ha - Take On Me (VIDEO AND LYRICS)

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say itanyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming foryour love, OK?
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumblingaway
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to besafe than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or
Just a play my worriesaway
You're all the things I've got to
remember
You're shyingaway
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

Recordem Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe perviu 50 anys després de la seva mort

Recordem una de les seves interpretacions:

PAPALLONES

Papallones d'ales blanques i colors vius
que voltejeu sobre les flors
i ens doneu el bon dia
tot arrancant el vol des d'una flor,
i en el vostre amunt i avall,
sense parar ni un instant,
ens alegreu el dia.

Sou com l'ànima de les flors
que s'enlaira cap al cel,
donant als nostres ulls
pensaments d'una altra vida,
i porteu amunt i avall voletejant
el color de les flors
i ens alegreu la vida.

(Mª Roser Llopart Trias)

Alphaville - Forever Young ~ (Video and Lyrics)

Let's start in style, let's dance for a while
heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
hoping for the best, but expecting the worst
are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us stay young or let us live forever
we don't have the power, but we never say never
sitting in the sandpit, life is a short trip
the music's for the sadman
Can you imagine when this race is won
turn out all the faces into the sun
praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
the music's played by the madman
Forever young
i want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
forever, you'll never
forever young,
I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?
forever young.
Some are like water, some are like the heat
some are a melody and some are the beat
sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
i don't want to perish like a fading horse
years like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever
So many advantages given up today
so many songs we forgot to play
so many dreams swinging out of the blue
oh let it come true
Chorus...
Solo...
Chorus
