As Palavras, Os Sons e Um Mundo de Sentidos

Hoje um DVD... Musica para pensar...

Hoje um DVD para pensar...

Descobri este cd por acaso, como se me tivesse vindo parar as mãos por acaso, mas num momento certo, ideal...

Neste DVD, Lauryn faz um concerto simples, só ela e uma viola, e dá lições de vida. Cada musica faz-nos pensar e ver o mundo de uma forma mais real, por vezes mais crua e fria, mas não é nisso que o mundo se está a tornar? Frio e desumano?

Mas acima de tudo é um concerto, ou são musicas de alguém que ainda acredita. Acredita que, apesar de desiludida, o mundo pode mudar.

Como ela diz a certa altura no concerto, "Fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need."

Aqui fica a letra de uma das minhas musicas favoritas:

I Find It Hard To Say

I find it hard to say, that everything is alright
Don't look at me that way, like everything is alright
Cuz my own eyes can see, through all your false pretenses
But what you fail to see, is all the consequences
You think our lives are cheap, and easy to be wasted
As history repeats, so foul you can taste it
And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
His life so incomplete, and nothing can replace it
And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
Your lives so incomplete, and nothing can replace it
Fret not thyself I say, against these laws of man
Cuz like the Bible says, His blood is on their hands
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say, is rebel
While today is still today, choose well
And what I gotta say, is rebel, it can't go down this way
Choose well, choose well, choose well...
...choose well, choose well, choose well
And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
Your lives are so incomplete, and nothing, and no one, can replace it
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
Is rebel... rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel
Repent, the day is far too spent, rebel... rebel!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up...
Wake up and rebel
We must destroy in order to rebuild
Wake up, you might as well
Oh are you... oh are you satisfied
Oh are you satisfied
Rebel... ohhh rebel
Why don't you rebel, why don't you rebel?
Why don't you rebel?
I'm fading myself down now...


Se puderem ouçam...
