The Tallest Man on Earth - Love is All



Sobre questionar.

Parece ser algo natural quando é direccionado a outros, embora possa ser feito com mais ou menos técnica, mais ou menos maldade e mais ou menos boa intenção. Aprendemos desde cedo, ensinado por professores da vida, que uma boa pergunta é a que revela conhecimento, pela pertinência e outras qualidades relevadas consoante o contexto. E sobre isto se podem escrever tratados técnico-tácticos.

Ainda assim, qualquer qualidade ou intenção não passará de formalismo inútil quando nos questionarmos a nós próprios. O nosso íntimo não quer boas intenções, precisa de coragem. Não quer técnica, precisa de honestidade. 

Uma boa pergunta é que nos obriga a confrontar com o que de mais basilar traz a liberdade de existir: a responsabilidade de cuidarmos de nós próprios.


About questioning.

Is seems only natural when it's directed at others, although it may be lead with more or less technique, more or less good or bad intentions. 

We soon learn that a good question is one which reveals knowledge for its relevance and other qualities that depend on the context.
Still, any quality or intention will be useless when it comes to question ourselves. Our inner self doesn't want good intentions, it need courage. Doesn't want technique, it needs honesty.

A good question is one which makes us confront the most basic condition of the freedom of beeing: the responsibility to take care of ourselves.

Fat Freddy's Drop - Soldier



Entre as muitas que podia escolher deste grupo, hoje escolhi esta.
Porque tem coisas que só fat freddianos podem perceber. E já que a escolha pode ser quase cega, que seja.

"Keep stepping to the streets, yeah
Singing songs of freedom
With your heart upon your sleeve, yeah
So you never lose the feeling.

One natural display of love or
A random act of kindness,
I love all the little pieces
That make what your mind is."

Daughter - Love (BAILE rmx)



Mais uma. Creio que isto de só escolher músicas depois de um dia de trabalho me leva tendencialmente àquelas com que posso descansar confortavelmente.

Thought: Go to sleep, your bad is sleepiness.

Bipolar Sunshine - Future (feat Goldlink)



And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. 

And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. 


And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. 


This is what I am and what I am about.



John Steinbeck in East of Eden  (A Leste do Paraíso)

Blind Pilot - Half Moon



That morning sky gave me a look
So I left while you were sleeping
That's all it took
And I chalked a line south down the coast
Going where my thirst was open
For the things that I don't know
Going where I wasn't paying
For the hurt that I owe
One half moon sleeping by the creeks
And a woman put me under
Her barn roof for a week
I knew her voice before she spake
I saw a grave dug by a preacher
Just to see what it would make

So hold high how faint your reasons
(Boy, you'll never get on)
Don't you forget you came from nothing
(Boy you'll never get on)
That wind is calling my name
And I won't wait
Or I'll never get on.

It's not hard to live like a ghost
I just haunt all that I've wanted
And leave what I don't 
I dreamt a trail up to the sky
And my brothers built propellers
Just to see how far they'd fly

So hold high how faint your reasons
(Boy you'll never get on)
Your flashing sparrows chasing with them
(Boy you'll never get on)
Don't you forget you come from nothing
(Boy you'll never get on)
That wind is calling my name
And I won't wait
Or I'll never get on

That wind is calling my name
And I won't wait
Or I'll never get on

So hold high how faint your reasons
So hold high how faint your reasons
So hold high how faint your reasons
That wind is calling my name
And I won't wait
Or I'll never get on

Little Dragon - Twice




"Twice I turn my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't loose
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what led you on I'd love to know

Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now

Thought I had an answer once
But your random ways swept me along
Colossal signs so I got lost
With so many lovers singing soft

Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now"
