Boas férias


Há dias, recebi no mail este vídeo que me fez recordar as minhas férias grandes e o tempo que passava em casa de uma das minhas tias a brincar com o Star, um cão tão querido como este.

E pensei: depois de referir os Beegeesinhos (ainda que muito ao de leve...) num post sobre o Mike Patton... nada será como dantes.
Então, já que estamos na "silly season" porque não publicar este vídeo ternurento com o "Can't Smile Without You" do Barry Manilow num blog que trata, sobretudo... de arte contemporânea?!...

Até junto a letra para se poder cantar e tudo.


Depois, toca a ir ver exposições e ir ao Jazz em Agosto.

:O)


E boas férias para quem está ou vai de férias





You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

I Started a Joke

Faith No More, I Started a Joke, 1997


No mesmo ano de 1997 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf9itXPJOJ4

E, dois anos antes, em 1995 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J-9k13zWLQ


Estive indecisa sobre qual dos vídeos publicaria. Mas tanto faz. Deixo aqui os links. Vale a pena ouvi-los a todos.

Mike Patton em três interpretações do I started a joke dos BeeGeesinhos.
Digamos que, para resumir, a música corre na alma e no corpo do homem.



I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no

And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
From things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

And I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Cursing my head
From things that I've said

Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me,
That the joke was on me, me

- Faith No More

«Michael Allan Patton (born January 27, 1968) is an American singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist and video game voice actor (...) Patton has earned critical praise for his diverse vocals, which touch on crooning, falsetto, death growls, rapping, chanting, mouth music, beatboxing and scatting, among other techniques; critic Greg Prato writes, "Patton could very well be one of the most versatile and talented singers in rock music."
He often produces side projects in collaboration with other musicians (...) He co-founded Ipecac Recordings with Greg Werckman in 1999, and has run the label since. (...) Recently, Patton has worked with Björk and the beat boxer Rahzel. He is often featured on new releases, and is regarded as extremely hard working. (...) Patton is highly regarded in alternative musical circles, and seen as something of an idol in the eyes of modern alternative youth for his air of mystique, his constantly-changing musical sensibilities, his impressive vocal range, and his experimental nature.
(...) When interviewed about his lyrical content with Faith No More, Patton responded, "I think that too many people think too much about my lyrics. I am more a person who works with the sound of a word than with its meaning. Often I just choose the words because of the rhythm not because of the meaning".»

Hoje o céu está mais azul,
Eu sinto
Fecho os olhos, mesmo
assim
Eu sinto
O meu corpo estremecer
Não consigo adormecer


Ah, nem o tempo vai chegar
P'ra dizer o quanto eu sinto
Você longe de mim
É uma espécie de dor


Hoje o céu está mais azul
Eu sinto
Olho à volta mesmo assim
Eu sinto
Que este amor vai acabar
E a saudade vai voltar


Ah, nem o tempo vai chegar
P'ra dizer o quanto eu sinto
Você longe de mim
É uma espécie de dor


Já não sei o que esperar
Dessa vida fugidia
Não sei como explicar
Mas é mesmo assim o amor

Rosa Passos - Hoje, sexta-feira, no CCB:

«ROSA PASSOS - ROMANCE - BRASILIAN LOVE SONGS

Rosa Passos, a grande senhora do Jazz e da Bossa Nova, também conhecida do público português pela sua interpretação do tema “Rosa”, incluído no álbum Cinema de Rodrigo Leão, traz ao CCB o primeiro da série de concertos que apresenta em Portugal durante o mês de Julho, a propósito do novo álbum Romance – Brasilian Love Songs.

4 Jul 2008 - 21:00

(...)

“Mais que uma cantora, Rosa Passos é uma grande compositora e excelente guitarrista, segundo o estilo do seu ídolo João Gilberto. A sua voz tem a limpidez da água e o seu fraseado é destituído de vibrato e ornamento, apenas colorido pela sonoridade da língua portuguesa. [...] Se esta não é a mais bela das vozes, é seguramente uma das mais notáveis e encantadoras.”

Gary Giddins, in New Yorker – Novembro de 2007»

Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

(também poderá ver o vídeo aqui.
No blog, consigo vê-lo sem problemas com o Firefox,
mas não com o IE7 - nem carrega sequer...)



«Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.»
In TED | Talks | Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

«Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.»
In TED | Speakers | Sir Ken Robinson: Creativity expert

«Robinson feels that Western education is geared at training workers instead of training young people to think critically about life, art, culture, and humanism.»
In Wikipedia - Ken Robinson (British author) (c/ outros links)



Gostava muito que vissem este vídeo.

Por isso, transcrevo estas duas frases (dos links acima referidos - TED) para abrir o apetite:
- «A typical review: "If you have not yet seen Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk, please stop whatever you're doing and watch it now."»
e
- «The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? "Everyone should watch this."»

Espero que surtam efeito.
