AMIGA - Paulinho Tapajós e Aline Anandi

A primeira vez que ouvi essa música foi há muito, mas muito tempo mesmo, e a ouvi com o Ivan Lins e creio que a cantora que faz a primeira voz, seja a Miucha.

A música é de Roberto Menescal e Paulinho Tapajós e apareceu no disco do Ivan, intitulado "Agora" (lá tem também Madalena, O amor é o meu país (ele ficou em segundo lugar no V Festival Internacional da Canção - FIC em 1970), e tantas outras. Nessa época, o Ivan e outros jovens compositores/cantores/instrumentistas, como o Taiguara, Cesar Costa Filho (o Cesinha), Gonzaguinha e por aí vai, integravam o M.A.U. - Movimento Artístico Universitário.

Bem, mas voltando a música, não encontrei no Youtube o vídeo/áudio dela, mas fica aqui a gravação com o Roberto Menescal (que é fantástico). Mas, acho que essa gravação nem chega aos pés da do Ivan, mas a letra é tão linda, que vale a reprodução.

Enfim, aí vai...

AMIGA
Compositores: Roberto Menescal & Paulinho Tapajós

Meu abraço

É um porto vazio

Na esperança

De um dia você ancorar

Deixo a porta dos sonhos aberta

Na esperança

De um dia você entrar

Amiga me conta

Me mostra o seu lugar

Sou rio correndo

Em busca do seu mar

Tenho os olhos de lua cansada

Padecendo a saudade maior de esperar

Seu aceno sereno na estrada

Fez-se triste riacho de dor chorar

Amiga me conta

Me mostra onde chegar

Me abraça me abriga

Me guarda em seu olhar

(My soul) Ghost - Dana Kerstein

Theme from Pepa & Silvia - Los ombres de Paco

My soul ghost

Dana Kerstein 

I hear silent whisper and I know you are a close.
I watch your shadow winger, and I feel youre ghost.
How long, how far do I need to go?
Before your splinted heart opens up and takes my soul?
My soul 

Inside the darkest corners of a haunted mind,
I see scattered pictures of a lonely child.
How long, how far do I need to go?
Before your splinted heart opens up and takes my soul?
My soul 

And all I feel inside me is an empty space,
I know you want to haunt me but you leave no trace
How long, how far do I need to go?
Before your splinted heart opens up and takes my soul?
My soul

Can´t take my eyes off you

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

Aretha Franklin - I say a little prayer ( Official song )

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)

"Touch Me in the Morning" Diana Ross

Touch me in the morning (specially in this "londoning" day)
Diana Ross

Songwriters: Ron miller & michael masser 

Touch me in the morning 
Then just walk away 
We don't have tomorrow 
But we had yesterday 

(Hey! ) 
Wasn't it me who said that 
Nothing goods gonna last forever? 
And wasn't it me who said 
Let's just be glad for the time together? 
It must've been hard to tell me 
That you've given all you had to give 
I can understand you're feeling that way 
Everybody's got their life to live. 

Well, I can say goodbye in the cold morning light 
But I can't watch love die in the warmth of the night 
If I've got to be strong 
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone? 
Till you go I need to lie here and think about 
The last time that you'll touch me in the morning 
Then just close the door 
Leave me as you found me, empty like before. 

(Hey! ) 
Wasn't it yesterday 
We used to laugh at the wind behind us? 
Didn't we run away and hope 
That time wouldn't try to find us (didn't we run) 
Didn't we take each other 
To a place where no one's ever been? 
Yeah, I really need you near me tonight 
Cause you'll never take me there again. 
Let me watch you go 
With the sun in my eyes 
We've seen how love can grow 
Now we'll see how it dies. 

If I've got to be strong 
Don't you know I need to have tonight when you're gone? 
Till you go I need to hold you until the time 
Your hands reach out and touch me in the morning. 
(Mornings were blue and gold and we could feel one another living) 
Then just walk away 
(We walked with a dream to hold and we could take what the world was giving) 
We don't have tomorrow, 
(There's no tomorrow here, there's only love and the time to chase it) 
But we had yesterday 
(But yesterday's gone my love, there's only now and it's time to face it) 
Touch me in the morning.

THE SUPREMES and THE FOUR TOPS where would i be without you baby

Respirem fundo, porque essa música é a música!

A letra de Where would I be without you baby

What if you should come to me
One day and say you found somebody new
I know that might sounds strange,
But I hate to be alone
And the more I think about it,
The more desperate I become

Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do without you, baby
Ooh, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through

When I look into your eyes
Sometimes you turn away from me
Oh, in the moment of closeness
My heart starts beating fast
But with him, it's not the same
I don't think it's gonna last

Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be without you
Oh-oh-oh, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through

Oh, tell me
Somebody tell me if it's a silly premonition
(Premonition)
Hey, that I got condemned from loving a girl like you
Oh, hey, hey
Don't put out the fire that burns
Can't you see how much my heart would yearn?

Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do without you, baby
Hey, hey, hey!
Why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through (oh-oh-oh)
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through (say we're through)
If you should say we're through

Lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do without you, baby
Hey, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through (say we're through)
If you should say we're through

Hey, hey lonely, lonely me
I don't have any idea
As to where I would be or what I do without you, baby
Hey, why would it be so easy
That there'll be no rhyme or reason for living
If you should say we're through
If you should say we're through

Marina Abramović and Ulay - MoMA 2010 por mattinnbm

Marina Abramović and Ulay meet years after their break up in 1988.

Mulher fica cara a cara com o homem com quem teve nos anos 70 e 80 uma intensa história de amor

Entre os anos 70 e 80, Marina Abramovic viveu um intensa história de amor com Ulay. Quando sentiram que a relação já não tinha a chama de outros tempos, cada um seguiu o seu caminho. Mas em 2010, quando Marina já era artista consagrada, o Museu de Arte Moderna (MoMa) de Nova Iorque dedicou uma retrospectiva à sua obra. Nessa retrospectiva, Marina partilhava um minuto de silêncio com cada estranho que se sentasse à sua frente. Ulay chegou sem que ela soubesse, e foi assim que aconteceu..

Kermit The Frog Sings About Gay Marriage In 'Rainbow Connection' Parody

The Huffington Post  |  By Christopher Rudolph Posted: 07/19/2013 11:19 am EDT  |  Updated: 07/19/2013 11:27 am EDT

Kermit the Frog (or some frog that looks a lot like him) is the latest celebrity to get behind marriage equality, as he takes his classic song, "The Rainbow Connection" and reworks it as a ballad for same-sex marriage.

While the video is a obviously a parody and not sanctioned by Disney or The Jim Henson Company, it's funny nonetheless as the Muppet strums his banjo, sings about marriage and also gives his thoughts on North Korea and the Pope (sounds strange, but just stick with it).

PEACE OF MY HEART - JANIS JOPLIN

This is my favorite song from Janis Joplin - I love her and I love this song

PIECE OF MY HEART

Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on! 

Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man -yeah!
Didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough. 

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed. 

You're out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again. 

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good. 

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c'mon now.
oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.
You know you got it -whoahhhhh!! 

Take it!
Take it! Take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, hey,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill - Third Reading - Part 20

Pessoal,

Não há como não se emocionar com esse momento e o simbolismo dele.

Aqui o vídeo com o resultado final da votação que colocou a Nova Zelândia na rota dos nossos corações.

Aqui, uma matéria do AfterEllen, que traduziu bem o meu sentimento. Não é só para o Congresso Americano se envergonhar. É para todos os congressos do mundo que se negam a nos dar esse direito também se envergonharem. Graça

New Zealand Lawmakers Pass Marriage Equality, Break Into Song

(a notícia foi tirada do AfterEllen.

http://www.afterellen.com/2013/04/new-zealand-lawmakers-pass-marriage-equality-break-song

Queer women love New Zealand. Lucy Lawless? Kiwi. Anna Paquin? Kiwi. Anika Moa? Kiwi.Topp Twins? Kiwi. Alison Mau? Australian, actually, but she got engaged in New Zealand to her Kiwi girlfriend. Last night New Zealand gave us another reason to love it. After a two-hour Parliamentary debate, and a 77 to 44 vote, it became the 13th country to legalize same-sex marriage at the national level. And then they spontaneously broke into song, because of course they did, because New Zealanders are the best. They sang "Pokarekare Ana," which is a traditional love song composed in the indigenous Maori language.

You can watch news footage of the unbelievably moving impromptu celebration, but have a tissue handy because you're probably going to spontaneously burst into tears.

New Zealand follows Uruguay and France, both of which recently legalized same-sex marriage.

Louisa Wall, the Labour Party MP who introduced the legislation, told BBC News: "In our society, the meaning of marriage is universal - it's a declaration of love and commitment to a special person. Nothing could make me more proud to be a New Zealander than passing this bill." And then she posed in front of this giant Gay Pride flag and put every American Congressperson in to shame.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to watch that video one more time and sob my eyes out.

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS - SAME LOVE feat. MARY LAMBERT (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Just talking about love. Graça

SAME LOVE

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (feat. Mary Lambert)

  [Verse 1: Macklemore]
When I was in the 3rd grade
I thought that I was gay
Cause I could draw, my uncle was
And I kept my room straight
I told my mom, tears rushing down my face
She's like, "Ben you've loved girls since before pre-K"
Trippin', yeah, I guess she had a point, didn't she
A bunch of stereotypes all in my head
I remember doing the math like
"Yeah, I'm good at little league"
A pre-conceived idea of what it all meant
For those who like the same sex had the characteristics
The right-wing conservatives think its a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man-made, rewiring of a predisposition
Playing God
Ahh nah, here we go
America the brave
Still fears what we don't know
And God loves all His children
Is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written
35 hundred years ago
I don't know

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]

[Verse 2: Macklemore]
If I was gay
I would think hip-hop hates me
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
"Man that's gay"
Gets dropped on the daily
We've become so numb to what we're sayin'
Our culture founded from oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
Call each other faggots
Behind the keys of a message board
A word routed in hate
Yet our genre still ignores it
Gay is synonymous with the lesser
It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion
Gender and skin color
Complexion of your pigment
The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins
It's human rights for everybody
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
There is no difference
Live on! And be yourself!
When I was in church
They taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service
Those words aren't anointed
And that Holy Water
That you soak in
Is then poisoned
When everyone else
Is more comfortable
Remaining voiceless
Rather than fighting for humans
That have had their rights stolen
I might not be the same
But that's not important
No freedom 'til we're equal
Damn right I support it
I don't know

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]

[Verse 3: Macklemore]
We press play
Don't press pause
Progress, march on!
With a veil over our eyes
We turn our back on the cause
'Till the day
That my uncles can be united by law
Kids are walkin' around the hallway
Plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful
Someone would rather die
Than be who they are
And a certificate on paper
Isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to startXX
No law's gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god you believe in
We come from the same one
Strip away the fear
Underneath it's all the same love
About time that we raised up

[Hook: Mary Lambert]
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love, my love, my love
She keeps me warm [x4]

[Outro: Mary Lambert]
Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient (not cryin' on Sundays)
Love is kind (not crying on Sundays) [x5]

I Want You Back - The Jackson 5

This song is to all L World guys... :)))

I Want You Back

Jackson 5

Uh-huh huh huh huh Let me tell ya now Uh-huh

When I had you to myself I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch when glance was all it took 
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Oh baby give me one more chance (show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
Yes I do now (I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby (I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya (I want you back) Na na na na

Tryin' to live without your love Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on I leave tearstains on the ground
Following the girl I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now

Oh baby all I need is one more chance (show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (back to your heart)
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go (let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms

Uh-huh A buh buh buh buh (2 times)
All I want A buh buh buh buh
All I need A buh buh buh buh
All I want A buh buh buh buh All I need

(Jermaine): Oh just one more chance to show you that I love you baby (6 times)

(I want you back) (Jackie): Forget what happened then (I want you back)
(Jermaine): Let me live again

Oh baby I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
(Jackie): Spare me of this cause
(Jermaine): Gimme back what I lost

Oh baby I need one more chance
ha I tell ya that I love you
