lema de vida

You Are Sunrise

You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be.

Well, yesterday I tried to place here 2 posts but they didn't work very well, let's see if this time things work properly. It was 5 am and I was really tired, the only solution I found was to erase them both. The posts had videos of sweet David and his beautiful songs, one called "Hold still" (whose lyrics are on a June post) and the other one is called "Who are you". Let's see how this works today... maybe blogger will be behave :).

So, here it is the video for Hold still...



And here you can read the lyrics for Who are you and see the video...

Ever since I saw you
I want to hold you
Like you were the one

It sees right through me
A bullet it comes and takes me
And I love you I love you
I want you but I fear you

Who are u?
Who are u?

Ever since I saw you
I want to hold you
Like you were the one

Your feet will rest on my shoes
I sing this song for you
Just to see you smile

And I love you I love you
I love you but I fear you

Who are u?
Who are u?

For how long
How strong do I still have to be?
How come you mean so much to me?

For how long
How strong do I still have to be?
How come you mean so much to me?

And I love you I love you
I want you but I fear you

Who are u?
who are you?

For how long
How strong do I still have to be?
How come you mean so much to me?

For how long
How strong do I still have to be?

Quem diria? Hoje estou inspirada! Eis mais um lema de vida, desta feita em inglês...

"Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself."

Não sei quem o escreveu ou disse mas gostei! Obrigada ao Pedro Aniceto pelas brilhantes frases que vêm sempre incluidas no fundinho da mailing list.

... I was amazed! This guy is really great. The John Butler fascination continues he he... I promise I'll stop here!

Music as always been a good company, whether it's raining or it's sunny, whether I feel like crying or laughing. I like all sorts of songs and artists, as you can see by my blog. I'm always pleased when a friend introduces me to a song I didn't know and the pleasure is even greater when I "fall in love" with the song and the artist. That happened to me last week when I was introduced to the John Butler Trio. There is a rythm, a feeling in his songs... it's amazing. I definitely "fell in love" with this artist and this song. Thank you my companion of sin for this great gift, I was definitely surprised ;).

Here's the video of "Company Sin" by the John Butler Trio... and it even has a "storytelling" moment!



P.S.- It's the first post in english but I still love the portuguese language :)!

Eis o meu actual lema de vida, pelo menos de vez em quando... É uma música cantada pela Natasha Bedingfield e chama-se "Single". Esta letra é muito muito fixe! :)

Single - Natasha Bedingfield

Ah yeah that's right
All you single people out there
This is for you

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want
doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up
you either got it or you don't

[Chorus:]
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single (Right now)
That's how I wanna be
I'm single (Right now)
That's how I wanna be

Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right

Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should
(Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

[Repeat Chorus]

Everything in it's right time
everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way
it's my way
Eh I like it this way

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

E agora o video :)

Para quem não conseguir ler o texto, eis a transcrição:

Perguntaram ao Dalai Lama...

"O que mais te surpreende na Humanidade?"

E ele respondeu:

"Os homens... Porque perdem a saúde para juntar dinheiro, depois perdem dinheiro para recuperar a saúde.
E por pensarem ansiosamente no futuro, esquecem do presente de tal forma que acabam por não viver nem o presente nem o futuro.
E vivem como se nunca fossem morrer...
... E morrem como se nunca tivessem vivido.




Agradecimento especial à Andreia que, com o e-mail que me enviou, me permitiu colocar este post com um lema de vida brilhante. Obrigada!

Eis uma música fabulosa! Chama-se "Breathe me" e é interpretada por uma cantora com uma voz extremamente relaxante. Ela chama-se Sia e, para além dos seus dois álbuns a solo, colabora frequentemente com os Zero 7. E não é só esta música que é "fabulosamente" relaxante... todo o álbum "Colour the small one" consegue manter a mesma essência...



P.S.- Começo a pensar em escrever partes do blog em inglês... Se alguém quiser opinar... feel free to leave a comment! :)

O ano passado, a Tanita mandou-me uma música linda, linda, linda que pertence à banda sonora do filme "Closer". A música chama-se "The blower's daughter" e é interpretada pelo Damien Rice. Apresento-vos uma música fabulosa...



Nos últimos tempos, ando numa de Seu Jorge. Para quem não conhece é um grande músico, autor e actor, entre outras coisas. Eu ainda só o conhecia como o Zé Galinha da Cidade de Deus... O que é certo é que viciei-me numa música interpretada por ele e pela Ana Carolina (também uma cantora predilecta há já uns anos). Eu sabia que conhecia a música de algum lado e só há uns dias é que "me caiu a moedinha"! Aqui está a versão brasileira da música que está ali em cima, desta vez intitulada "É isso aí".



Tanita, para compensar pelo atraso nos comentários e pelos desencontros no messenger... espero que gostes amiga! :)
