Porque os meus dias necessitam de uma banda-sonora que faça suportar algumas das angústias que os atravessam. Ou simplesmente porque o meu dia foi um daqueles dias que irei recordar mais tarde, e me lembrarei da música que estava a passar naquele infímo momento de felicidade inocente.

Porto Santo
De um porto perdido
Um dia partiu
Ele amor perdido
Quem será que o viu
Eu conto a quem passa
Levou-te o mar
Há festa na praça
Já nem sei dançar
Mas à noite
Há vozes aqui
São de longe, tão longe
E falam de ti
Um porto perdido
Um dia encontrou
Ele amor perdido
Que sempre voltou
Eu conto a quem passa
A vida no mar
Já cantam na praça
E vamos dançar
Mas à noite
Há vozes aqui
São de longe, tão longe
E chamam por ti
There's no eye in the sky
Just our love
No unobstructed view
No perfect truths
Just our love
Just our love
And there's no verse
No monument of words
For our love
For they can't hold
All I know about my love, about my love
Storm clouds break
Pools remain memories for
Earth embrace
That umbrate up above
They become
New love
New love
There's no eye in the sky
Just our love, just our love
No unobstructed views
No perfect truths
Just our love, just our love
Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love
And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I’m ready
As long as you’re with me
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
Oh, the periphery
They throw good parties there
Those peripheral idiots
Always have a bite to bare
Bear it if you can
If you really want to
Go to the periphery
Have them celebrate your name
Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be
Left to run the races lame
But if you want
If you think it's worth it
Go now, with me
Cause I don't appreciate
People who
Don't appreciate
All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all
Oh, the periphery
I lost another one there
He found a prettier girl than me
With a more even-tempered air
And if he wants her, he should get her
Cause I think he thinks she's worth it
And maybe they'll move from the periphery
By themselves, or on a plot of land
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
Hoping he makes a good family man
And if he finds himself yearning
For his throne on the silly side
Nothing wrong as long as he's learning
Besides, you can take it up with his brethren
Or with his bride, just not with me
Cause I don't appreciate
People who
Don't appreciate
All that loving must've been lacking something
If I got bored trying to figure you out
You let me down
I don't even like you anymore at all
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Oh, the periphery
Stay away
Stay away
Away, away
Stay away, away
If you had looked, you might have just seen them
Stretched in the background
You'd see the oceans swell
And the mountains shook
You'd see a million colors
If you really looked
Now quick the night draws near
Her curtain spreads quicker
The safety's off
But the gun has no trigger.
If you had looked, you'd be no one's coward
Distance, justice, power
You'd glimpse the password
You wouldn't need the book
You'd own both slave and master
If you just had looked
But now the banks all closed
And nothing gets bigger
The crowd will yell
But the gun has no trigger.
If you had looked, you might reconsider
Or just maybe you already have
They watch you sleeping
You watch their garbage cook
You'd weep a bowl of tears
If you had looked
But now the gate comes down
The pangs are growing dimmer
You hold a gun to your head
But the gun has no trigger.
I am a bird in water, a whale on sand
I am the flood, the fire, the oil spill
I’m feeling scared and I am overwhelmed
And so I don my mask and finger bells
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara now get to work
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara this is going to hurt
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone, undone
I am a slave, I’m under house arrest
I am the beater, I am beaten for less
Than being punk and feeling anger swell
And so I don my beaded dress and finger bells
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara now get to work
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara this is going to hurt
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone, undone
It’s so hard, it’s so heavy
To be hungry, to be happy
It’s so light, it’s so easy just to be
It’s so hard, it’s so heavy
To be hungry, to be happy
It’s so light, it’s so easy just to be
Oh God, what would you do with me
Oh God, what’s my responsibility
God, what would you do with me
Oh God, what’s my responsibility
Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara now get to work
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-Shara this is going to hurt
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be-ye changed or be-ye undone
Be brave dear one
Be changed or be undone
Be brave dear one
Be changed, be changed, be changed
Changed
