Fanatismo, Florbela Espanca

Florbela Espanca - poeta portuguesa

FANATISMO


Minh’alma, de sonhar-te, anda perdida
Meus olhos andam cegos de te ver!
Não és sequer razão de meu viver,
Pois que tu és já toda a minha vida!

Não vejo nada assim enlouquecida…
Passo no mundo, meu Amor, a ler
No misterioso livro do teu ser
A mesma história tantas vezes lida!

“Tudo no mundo é frágil, tudo passa…”
Quando me dizem isto, toda a graça
Duma boca divina fala em mim!

E, olhos postos em ti, vivo de rastros:
“Ah! Podem voar mundos, morrer astros,
Que tu és como Deus: princípio e fim!…”

Joan Armatrading - Love & Affection (From "Steppin' Out DVD)

Essa música é de 1976 (a gravação acima é de 1979) e eu nunca tinha ouvido falar dessa cantora. O pior: a música é lindíssima e foi trazida à tona no seriado L Word, temporada 5, quando Bette & Tina fazem amor numa das cenas mais antológicas da série (veja aqui: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMF9-jxvP8U).
Enfim, com vcs, essa cantora incrível.

LOVE & AFFECTION - Joan Armatrading

I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing

With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh

Thank you
You took me dancing
'Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move

Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can't I
Feel love

I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love

Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure

Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection

Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that's what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love..

Beautiful- Christina Aguilera

Too all who are bullied (who were bullied in the past too)... Graça

Beautiful

Christina Aguilera

Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is?

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
So don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(No matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(Sun will always shine)
But tomorrow we might awake
On the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
So, don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

The Cranberries - Linger " Live In London "

Nanázinha, essa é pra vc! Tô com saudade! Um beijo, G

Linger lyrics
Songwriters: Hogan, Noel; O'Riordan, Dolores Mary;

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything

I swore, I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why you were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you

But I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, I was wrong

If you, if you could get by
[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/cranberries-lyrics/linger-lyrics.html ]
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you

And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

And I'm in so deep, you know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
Do you have to, do you have to
Do you have to let it linger

Aretha Franklin - I say a little prayer ( Official song ) HQ version , P...

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only meen heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I'm in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

*************************************
Eu vejo que aprendi
O quanto te ensinei
E é nos teus braços que ele vai saber
Não há por que voltar
Não penso em te seguir
Não quero mais a tua insensatez

O que fazes sem pensar aprendeste do olhar
E das palavras que guardei pra ti
Não penso em me vingar
Não sou assim
A tua insegurança era por mim

Não basta o compromisso
Vale mais o coração
Já que não me entendes, não me julgues
Não me tentes
O que sabes fazer agora
Veio tudo de nossas horas
Eu não minto, eu não sou assim
Ninguém sabia e ninguém viu
Que eu estava a teu lado então
Sou fera, sou bicho, sou anjo e sou mulher
Sou minha mãe e minha filha,
Minha irmã, minha menina
Mas sou minha, só minha e não de quem quiser
Sou Deus, tua deusa,meu amor
Alguma coisa aconteceu
Do ventre nasce um novo coração

Não penso em me vingar
Não sou assim
A tua insegurança era por mim
Não basta o compromisso

Vale mais o coração
Ninguém sabia, ninguém viu
Que eu estava ao teu lado então

Sou fera, sou bicho, sou anjo e sou mulher
Sou minha mãe e minha filha,
Minha irmã, minha menina
Mas sou minha, só minha e não de quem quiser
Sou Deus, tua deusa, meu amor
Baby, baby, baby, baby

O que fazes por sonhar
É o mundo que virá prá ti e prá mim
Vamos descobrir o mundo juntos baby
Quero aprender com o teu pequeno grande coração
Meu amor, meu Chicão...

AMOR SELVAGEM - Marcus Viana

Essa música é para uma estrela.

Amor Selvagem

Marcus Viana

Quando os corações dos puros amam
Cala a imensidão, o espaço
E a eternidade ergue seu véu

Todas as coisas vivas se aquecem
Todos os olhos se iluminam
Com a luz de um outro céu

Corações selvagens
Quando batem de paixão
Acorda toda natureza
Fazem a vida renascer

Florestas que queimaram
Voltam a se vestir de verde e flor
E as fontes que secaram
Ressuscitam ribeirões

Corações selvagens
Quando ardem de paixão
Incendeiam a noite, o tempo
E cegam sóis

Estrelas são as lágrimas dos anjos
A chorar
Por não terem o corpo e a vida
E não saberem o que é amar

Cat Stevens - Heaven (Where true love goes)

Heaven (Where true love goes)

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens)

The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you
The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you.
Oh will you? Will you? Will you?

I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes

And if you walk along and if you lose your way,
Don't forget the one who gave you this today
Follow True Love, follow True Love,
Follow True Love, follow True Love
Oh will you? Will you? Will you?

I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes

And if a storm should come and if you face a wave,
That may be the chance for you to be safe
And if you make it through the trouble and the pain,
That may be the time for you to know his name

The moment you walked inside my door
I knew that I need not look no more,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you

The moment you fell inside my dreams
I realized all I had not seen,
I've seen many other souls before - ah but,
Heaven must've programmed you.
The moment you said "I will"
I knew that this love was real,
And that my faith was seen - oh

Heaven must've programmed you
The moment I looked into your eyes
I knew that they told no lies,
There would be no good byes - Ah
'cause Heaven must've programmed you

I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes
I go where True Love goes,
I go where True Love goes

Zach Wahls Speaks About Family

Up - watch the video / down - read the interview

Zach Wahls Interview

Son of Lesbian Moms and LGBT Activist

By Kathy Belge, About.com Guide

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSQQK2Vuf9Q

Updated September 12, 2012

Zach Wahls became an overnight sensation when the speech he gave to the Iowa legislature in support of gay marriage went viral. The Eagle Scout, raised in a lesbian family, eloquently argued that gay and lesbian families are no different than opposite sex families. That the sexual orientation of his parents had nothing to do with content of his character. Within hours of the video of Zach Wahls’ speech being posted on YouTube, he was being contacted by major media outlets, including the Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Daily Show with John Stewart. The video of his speech has more than 2,000,000 and Zach has just released a memoir My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family.

I caught up with Zach Wahls in Provincetown, MA for Family Week, an annual gathering of LGBT families after he read from his book.

Lesbian Life: You’re in Provincetown for Family Week, did you ever have anything like this when you were growing up?

Zach Wahls: We never did. We had our own family summer get togethers. It was not in Provincetown. It was in Lake Geneva in Wisconsin.

Did you have contact with other kids who were from LGBT parents?

Yeah, a few. There were other kids, in the neighborhood even, who had LGBT parents, but it was definitely a small number. We were in Iowa.

What was that like for you, to watch your parents get married after being together for 15 years?

It was awesome, in a word. It was about damn time, honestly. They had been together for quite a time at that point. And the fact that it was not legal was really frustrating. But it was great when it finally happened. It made it that much sweeter.

Had you and your family been active in LGBT politics at all before you made your speech?

No. Well, when I was born, the newspaper refused to publish my birth announcement because they didn’t do “illegitimate children.” Terry was not very please with that and politely informed them that they would be hearing from her attorney. They ended up changing the policy. She likes to joke now that I was an activist straight out of the womb. But really, that was the extent of it.

So, what spurred you that afternoon to go speak?

This is a long story and a short story. The short story is that I was invited to speak. And then I drove out and testified. The long story is that I wrote a poem my senior year of high school and it ended up running the Des Moines Register, which is the state’s largest newspaper. I was then invited to work with kids in Colage at a conference that was happening in Iowa in the Fall. I went there and metLambda Legal’s communications director. They litigated the case in Iowa that legalized same-sex marriage. Then when this hearing was announced, there was a call for speakers, she got in touch and then the rest is on the internet.

So one day, you’re just a college kid out studying for exams and the next…

The video blew up in 0-60 in four hours. That’s the speed of the internet. It was uploaded Tuesday afternoon and by Wednesday late morning, I’m getting a call from MSNBC, I’m on the phone with a producer from Ellen DeGeneres. Literally, less than 48 hours after I’d given the speech. It was less than 24 hours after the video was online.

In your talk, someone asked you the highlights of your last year, you said one of them was being on John Stewart.

Yes. One hundred percent. And Ellen was great too. But I grew up watching The Daily Show. I love Ellen, I talked to her a little bit after the show.

So, here you are. Your life has really changed, huh?

A little bit. It’s not like what most kids my age are going through.

But you just jumped in and you’re along for the ride?

I didn’t really jump in, the ride kind of swept me away is probably a better metaphor. It’s been a year and a half now and I still don’t have a good grasp. I keep using the word crazy, because it’s really the best word. It’s all just insane. The whole thing. What’s up with the bill in Iowa right now? It died in the Senate. Democrats have a razor thin majority. The question in the Fall is going to be whether or not Democrats can take back the house. They have a pretty large hill they have to climb and play defense. But it’s still close. If the republicans take back both chambers in the Fall you could potentially see that legislation post again in January 2013.

So it’s a proposed amendment for the constitution. What’s the process?

It’s actually one of the hardest in the country. You have to pass it through back-to-back legislative sessions, each of which lasts for two years. And then after that it goes up for a vote on the ballot. So, it takes at least three years. We think if we can hold onto one chamber this Fall, it would be a mute issue, because that means the earliest it could go on the ballot would be 2017 and by that point the demographics would be in our favor to the point that we think we would win a popular vote.

And of course, you know battles like this are going on all over the country.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I’m going to be spending time in Minnesota. I’m going to be there for a week campaigning up there. And of course Washington State, all eyes are on Washington.

If we win any of them, it will be the first time we’ve won at the ballot box, which takes away that last talking point that the other side has, which is that it’s always lost.

I’m sure right now you’re probably being pulled in a million directions by different activist organizations who want you to speak for them. How are you handling all that?

I’ll work on specific projects, like the Family Equality Council has a project called Outspoken Generations training other kids to be spokespeople. And that’s going well. I’ve done a little issue specific work with HRC and Freedom to Marry and groups in Iowa.

I’m going to be speaking for two and a half weeks in Iowa specifically. Got to defend the home stadium first. Most of my efforts recently have been focused on the Boy Scouts stuff and starting my own organization called Scouts for Equality. (Which is working to end the Boy Scout’s policy of banning openly gay people from participating in its programs.)

We love the Boy Scouts, but we oppose this policy. And we are doing what we are doing because we believe it’s in the long-term interest of the Scouts to end this policy. The longer this policy remains on the books, the more relevancy the Boy Scouts loses to this generation, who has frankly already answered this question.

We think it really is in the best interest of the boy scouts to end this policy.

Where does the opposition come from?

The Mormon Church. The way the BSA operates is like a franchise model. There is a national brand, but then each individual each individual troop is sponsored by a community. It can be a school. It can be a church, it can be a civic group, a bunch of citizens, whatever. Mormon churches sponsor troops that account for 20% of the entire BSA organization. One in five scouts comes from a troop that is sponsored by a Mormon church. And in fact, it’s in Mormon Church doctrine, if you open a church, it has to sponsor a boy scout troop. It’s codified.

The Mormons have said point blank, if you force us to accept gay leaders, we will walk away. From a pragmatic perspective understand why the Scouts are being so careful. This is a minefield for them. Obviously public support is very rapidly turning against them. On the other hand, if they lose 20% of their membership, they cease to exist.

What we’re trying to do is show BSA that it is in their own long-term interest, if they do care about membership retention is that they do want to end the policy. That’s the approach to follow. What we’re trying to show them is the long-term consequences outweigh what could happen in the short term.

The fact is the Mormon Church is actually a lot less conservative then everybody thinks it is. Certainly a large part of it is very conservative and they played a large part behind Prop 8, but at the end of the day, I just can’t bring myself to believe that a lot of gay people are going to want to join Mormon troops.

When you decided to write your book, you based it on the principals of the Boy Scouts, what was your thought process when you decided to structure your book in this way?

It was convenient more than anything. I’m 20 years old. I’m writing a book about my life. There has to be something to bring it together. There has to be commentary, there has to be something a little bit greater than this story.

Part of it too, was trying to show that these are the values that are important to me, so that when you try to have this conversation, like family values are antithetical to LGBT families, that is objectively not true. And it might force you to reevaluate what does the term family values mean. And it becomes very clear very quickly that it doesn’t really mean anything.

You have a lot of fans who are parents of LGBT kids, what about the kids of LGBT families themselves. Have they reached out to you as well?

Yes. And that’s been one of the most rewarding parts. Emails. Facebook messages. Getting tweets from other kids who have gay parents. During the 90s Newt Gingrich stood up and in front of Congress and said we are creating a generation of kids that are lab rats. We’ve been talked about for a long time, but we really haven’t had a representative who is really one of us, who could stand up and speak. And I’ve been tossed into this role. I think a lot of us who are sick of being talked about are glad to have a voice. And it didn’t hurt that I happened to be a guy who won a state championship in high school debate. A lot of people can say, yeah, I would be proud of him if he was my son. I have my parents to thank for that.

Tell us a little about what people should expect when they read your book.

The book is on the one hand, definitely an autobiography. These are the experiences that shaped who I am today. It’s also a commentary on the values that I think are important to me and how those fit into my family personally, but also this question of LGBT equality generally. It is almost a manifesto in some ways, for those of us who have LGBT parents about how we have been treated and discussed in the past, and who we are going forward.

And at the same time, I’m trying to say, I am one person with one experience and I speak only for myself. I don’t speak for my sister or my Mom.

Even though I’m not LGBT personally… I really do feel like I am a member of the community. I feel like I am at home here because I have gay parents. I’ll never fully be straight, not in the sexual sense, but in the identity sense. So I’m queer as an identity and not as an orientation. And that’s something I’m proud of.

Honestly, I look forward to not having to do this anymore. I can go back to Iowa and sit on my porch and drink whiskey and write and not worry about this anymore. I think we’re closer to that than people think.

So, you’re in school for engineering, but this kind of changes things. Are you interested in writing, activism? What now?

Writing. My hunch is that I’ll go back to school and finish my degree in sustainability studies. The environment is my first passion and really was where I cut my teeth in activism work. I’ll go back to school. I want to resolve this Boy Scout thing and get this done an over with.

I’d love to work on the presidential campaign in 2016. Whoever it is.

" I'M NEVER GONNA SAY GOODBYE " - Billy Preston

Someone called Billy Preston...

I´m neve gonnaa say goodbye

Somebody lied to me
It just can’t be, you can’t be gone forever
Somebody got it wrong
You were gonna love me all my life
It would be good together
Now I’m on my own
And I don’t think I’ll ever learn to live
One day alone

So I’m never gonna say goodbye
Say goodbye is something i can’t bring myself to do
Cause as long as I don’t say goodbye
Darling I know, part of me will always be with you

What am I gonna do
Having you is all i ever wanted, wanted
Where am I gonna go
To feel the way I felt inside your arms
Still my life is spent
Loving you as I do
Thanks for being with me darling
Thanks for being you

So I’m never gonna say good bye
Say good bye, say good bye
Say goodbye is something i can’t bring myself to do
Cause as long as I don’t say goodbye
Darling I know, part of me will always be with you, with you…

A vovozinha que gosta de outra vovozinha

Cá vai uma (ótima) dica da Laura Bacellar:

Como estão envelhecendo as mulheres homossexuais desta geração? A vida delas tem se tornado mais fácil com o passar do tempo? O preconceito tem realmente diminuído?
A vovozinha que gosta de outra vovozinha é o tema do programa É a Vovozinha!.

E já que falar em homossexualidade em 2011 não é mais tão complicado, especialistas conversam com mulheres que fizeram esta opção para entender como vivem, se relacionam e o que pensam sobre a maturidade feminina. O programa analisa esta questão através de depoimentos, matérias e reportagens na rua, sempre com muito bom humor e delicadeza.

O Amor É o Meu País
Ronaldo Monteiro de Carvalho & Ivan Lins 

Eu queria, eu queria, eu queria
Um segundo lá no fundo de você
Eu queria, me perdera, me perdoa
Por que eu ando à toa
Sem chegar
Tão mais longe se torna o cais
Lindo é voltar
É difícil o meu caminhar
Mas vou tentar
Não me importa qual seja a dor
Nem as pedras que eu vou pisar
Não me importo se é pra chegar
Eu sei, eu sei
De você fiz o meu País
Vestindo festa e final feliz
Eu vi, eu vi
O amor é o meu País
E sim, eu vi
O amor é o meu País

Neruda. Neruda? Neruda!!!

Quem morre?
 
Morre lentamente
quem se transforma em escravo do hábito,
repetindo todos os dias os mesmos trajetos, quem não muda de marca
Não se arrisca a vestir uma nova cor ou não conversa com quem não conhece.


Morre lentamente
quem faz da televisão o seu guru.


Morre lentamente
quem evita uma paixão,
quem prefere o preto no branco
e os pingos sobre os "is" em detrimento de um redemoinho de emoções,
justamente as que resgatam o brilho dos olhos,
sorrisos dos bocejos,
corações aos tropeços e sentimentos.


Morre lentamente
quem não vira a mesa quando está infeliz com o seu trabalho,
quem não arrisca o certo pelo incerto para ir atrás de um sonho,
quem não se permite pelo menos uma vez na vida,
fugir dos conselhos sensatos.


Morre lentamente
quem não viaja,
quem não lê,
quem não ouve música,
quem não encontra graça em si mesmo.


Morre lentamente
quem destrói o seu amor-próprio,
quem não se deixa ajudar.


Morre lentamente,
quem passa os dias queixando-se da sua má sorte
ou da chuva incessante.
Morre lentamente,
quem abandona um projeto antes de iniciá-lo,
não pergunta sobre um assunto que desconhece
ou não responde quando lhe indagam sobre algo que sabe.


Evitemos a morte em doses suaves,
recordando sempre que estar vivo exige um esforço muito maior
que o simples fato de respirar. Somente a perseverança fará com que conquistemos
um estágio esplêndido de felicidade.
