Live Aid foi há 30 anos

Numa altura em que os conteúdos disponíveis eram bem menores este transmissão contínua que durou cerca de 14 horas foi um acontecimento para todos nós. Ver todas as bandas de referência a tocar ao vivo e em directo era um privilégio raríssimo naquela altura.
Os U2 aproveitaram muito bem o momento e a sua atuação foi determinante para que eles se tornassem o fenómeno mundial que ainda hoje continuam a ser.
Lembro-me tão bem.

Porque... tu sabes

É delicioso saber porque se esperou.

"...The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug..."
Miracle Drug - U2

"I've got an angel
She doesn't wear any wings
She wears a heart that can melt my own
She wears a smile that can make me wanna sing
She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home..."
Angel - Jack Johnson

Inesquecível

"I tied myself with wire
To let the horses roam free
Playing with the fire
Until the fire played with me

The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

We set ourselves on fire
Oh God, do not deny her
It’s not if I believe in love
If love believes in me
Oh, believe in me

At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I’ve been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body’s now a begging bowl
That’s begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down ’til the pain would stop

At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me"
Moment of Surrender - U2

É hoje!

Magnificent

Vai ser, vai! Finalmente vou vê-los e com bilhete à antiga e tudo, nada das senhas de computador que agora usam.

"I was born, I was born
To be with you in this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven't had a clue only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar

I was born, I was born to sing for you
I didn't have a choice but to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice from the womb
My first cry, it was a joyful noise, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love can heal such a scar
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, oh, oh

Only love, only love can leave such a mark
But only love, only love unites our hearts
Justified, till we die you and I will magnify, oh, oh
Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent"
Magnificent - U2

Miracle Drug

"I want a trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see"

Primeiro dia

Lua nova no primeiro dia do ano é augúrio de um grande ano para todos nós!
Só gostava de deixar de rebolar depois do tanto que comi em menos de 24 horas!


U2 - New Year's Day

I still haven't found what I'm looking for

The Boss e U2 juntos, gostava de ter estado nessa.

Acabam comigo

Sempre que as oiço sinto-as profundamente.

Vemo-nos daqui a um ano, espero.

Sexta feira e um dia magnífico!!!
