Talking Heads - And She Was

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos.

"And She Was", videoclipe do álbum "Little Creatures", de 1985.

“AND SHE WAS”

Hey!

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming

See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth

Moving into the universe
And she's drifting this way and that
Not touching the ground at all
And she's up above the yard

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
(Hey, hey)
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was

Hey, hey, hey

She was proud about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure about what she's done
No time to think about what to tell him
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

Hey hey, hey hey, hey!

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions
Oh, oh oh

Hey hey hey (repeated..)

The world was moving she was right there with it and she was
Hey, woo hoo
The world was moving she was floating above it and she was
Hey, hey

Joining the world of missing persons and she was
Missing enough to feel all right and she was

Ha ha
And she was
(repeated..)

Talking Heads - The Lady Don´t Mind

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos.

"The Lady Don’t Mind", videoclipe do álbum "Little Creatures", de 1985, dirigido pelo cineasta nova-iorquino Jim Jarmusch.


“THE LADY DON’T MIND”

Last time she jumped out the window, well,
She only turned and smiled.
You might think she would say something,
But you'd have to wait a while.

Well the lady don't mind.
No, no, no, the lady don't mind
She just turns her head and disappears and
I kinda like that style

Little boat that floats on a river,
it's drifting through a haze
She floats by whenever she wants to, well,
there she goes again

Well, it's no trouble at all.
No, no, no trouble at all
Well, what she does is all
right with me, and
I kinda like that style

Come on. come on. I go up and down.
I like this curious feeling.
I know, I see.
It's like make believe.
Cover your ears so you can't hear what I'm saying.
I'm not lost but I don't know where I am.
I got a question.
All right. All right. This is what we like.
Who knows, who knows, what I am thinking

She says love is not what she's after, but
everybody knows.
Each time she looks in the mirror well,
she lets her feelings show.

Well, the lady don't mind
No, no, no, the lady don't mind.
she just turns around and dissappears,
I kinda like that style

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Here we go again
I don't know, don't know what I'm sayin'.
Hey man. Hey man.
I sure don't feel the same
She likes to say what she's feeling
Hey. Did I get a big surprise.
I know you think so.
Come on. Come on. She says anything.
Who knows, who knows,
what she's thinking.

Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Uh-oh, uh-oh ....

RUI E VANI DE VOLTA EM "OS NORMAIS 2"

Qua, 28 Jan, 10h02

Eles riram ao ler o roteiro, divertem-se o tempo todo no set, acham a maior graça quando assistem às próprias cenas gravadas. Os Normais 2 (Globo Filmes) é a maior diversão para Fernanda Torres e Luiz Fernando Guimarães. Com previsão de lançamento para o segundo semestre, o filme, que começou a ser rodado dia 5 de janeiro nos estúdios da Globo, em Jacarepaguá, no Rio, tem o desafio de bater a ótima marca alcançada pelo primeiro, de 2003: três milhões de espectadores.

O diretor, José Alvarenga Junior, garante que a continuação é ainda mais engraçada que o original criado por Alexandre Machado e Fernanda Young. Se Os Normais - O Filme conta o início do relacionamento de Rui e Vani, o novo retoma a história que ficou no ar na série exibida pela Globo de 2002 a 2004. Eles já estão noivos há 13 anos, e resolvem partir para aventuras sexuais que os ajudem a "manter acesa a chama da paixão". Têm a ideia de chamar uma outra mulher para sua cama.

"No primeiro, tínhamos o compromisso de transformar um programa de TV de sucesso num filme de sucesso. Ele tinha tons de comédia romântica. Agora a ideia é buscar o que tinha de mais engraçado na série. É uma comédia rasgada, para as pessoas rirem do início ao fim", diz Alvarenga. Ele já sonha com um número 3; talvez um filme de verão sobre uma viagem de férias de Rui e Vani.

As participações especiais são de atores que já integraram a série: Cláudia Raia, Drica Morais, Daniele Winits, Aline Morais, Daniel Dantas. Daniele Suzuki é novidade. Ela faz uma bicampeã de kickboxing confundida por Rui e Vani com uma bissexual. Os normais se animam achando que encontraram uma parceira para o ménage à trois, e ficam surpresos quando sabem que ela não tem os mesmos planos que eles.

As cenas do trio foram gravadas na semana passada. A equipe teve de se controlar para não cair na gargalhada na hora do "ação!". "A gente tem rido muito", conta Fernanda. Já Luiz Fernando vê um ar "quase juvenil" nas aventuras dos dois personagens - que, para ele, saíram do ar "no auge, no momento certo". A novata no filme, Daniele Suzuki, que era fã da série e adora Os Normais - O Filme, ri desde a primeira leitura do roteiro. "As situações são surreais. O casal é muito cara-de-pau!" As informações são do jornal O Estado de S. Paulo.

Talking Heads - Road To Nowhere

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos.

"Road to Nowhere", videoclipe do álbum "Little Creatures", de 1985.

“ROAD TO NOWHERE”

WELL WE KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN'
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN
AND WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE KNOWIN'
BUT WE CAN'T SAY WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AND WE'RE NOT LITTLE CHILDREN
AND WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT
AND THE FUTURE IS CERTAIN
GIVE US TIME TO WORK IT OUT

We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

Feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go

We're on a ride to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there

We're on a road to nowhere
Ha ha
We're on a road to nowhere
Ha ha

There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
and it's all right,
Baby, it's all right

And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right,
Baby, it's all right

Would you like to come along
and you could help me sing that song?
And it's all right,
Baby, it's all right

They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right,
Baby, it's all right

We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere

Talking Heads - Wild Wild Life

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos. "Wild Wild Life", videoclipe do álbum "True Stories", de 1986.

"WILD WILD LIFE"

I'm wearin'
Fur pyjamas
I ride a
Hot Potata'
It's tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can't hear you

Here on this mountaintop
Woahoho
I got some wild, wild life
I got some news to tell ya
Woahoho
About some wild, wild life
Here comes the doctor in charge
Woahoho
She's got some wild, wild life
Ain't that the way you like it?
Ho, ha!
Living wild, wild life.

I wrestle, with your conscience
You wrestle, with your partner
Sittin' on a window sill, but he
Spends time behind closed doors

Check out Mr. Businessman
Oh, ho ho
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange
Oh, ho ho
He got some wild, wild life
Break it up when he opens the door
Whoahoho
He's doin' wild, wild life
I know that's the way you like it
Wo ho
Living wild, wild life

Peace of mind?
Piece of cake!
Thought control!
You get on board anytime you like

Like sittin' on pins and needles
Things fall apart, it's scientific

Sleeping on the interstate
Woah ho ah
Getting wild, wild life
Checkin' in, a checkin' out!
Uh, huh!
I got a wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time
Oh, ho ho
Done too much wild, wild
We wanna go, where we go, where we go
Oh, ho ho!
I doing wild, wild
I know it, that's how we start
Uh, huh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture, here in the daylight
Oh, ho!
And it's a wild, wild life
You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast
Oh, ho ho
Wild, wild
I know that's the way you like it
Oh, ho!
Living wild wild wild wild, life.

Talking Heads - Love For Sale

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos. "Love For Sale", videoclipe do álbum "True Stories", de 1986.

"LOVE FOR SALE"

I was born in a house with the television always on
Guess I grew up too fast
And I forgot my name
We're in cities at night and we got time on our hands
So leave the driving to us
And it's the real thing

And you're rolling
In the blender
With me
And I can love you
Like a color
TV

Now love is here
C'mon and try it
I got love for sale
Got love for sale
And now love is here
C'mon and try it
Got love for sale
Got love for sale.

You can put your lipstick all over my designer jeans
I'll be a video for you
If you turn my dial
You can cash my check if you go down to the bank
You get two for one
For a limited time

Push my button...
The toast pops up
Love and money
Gettin' all
Mixed up
And now love is here
C'mon and try it
I got love for sale
Got love for sale

Love is here
C'mon and try it
I got love for sale
I got Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love
Love

Talking Heads - (Nothing but) Flowers

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos. "(Nothing But) Flowers", videoclipe do álbum "Naked", de 1988.

"(NOTHING BUT) FLOWERS"

Here we stand
Like an Adam and an Eve
Waterfalls
The Garden of Eden
Two fools in love
So beautiful and strong
The birds in the trees
Are smiling upon them

From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it

We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it

There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it

If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it

Years ago
I was an angry young man
I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate
Now it's only fields and trees
Where, where is the town
Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars
Were sacrificed for agriculture
I thought that we'd start over
But I guess I was wrong

Once there were parking lots
Now it's a peaceful oasis
you got it, you got it

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention
you got it, you got it

I dream of cherry pies,
Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies
you got it, you got it

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

Talking Heads - Blind

Talking Heads, uma das minhas quatro bandas de rock favoritas de todos os tempos. "Blind", videoclipe do álbum "Naked", de 1988.

"BLIND"

Signs
Signs are lost
Signs disappeared
Turn invisible
Got no sign
Somebody got busted
Got a face of stone
And a ghostwritten biography
Dogs start to rushin in,
Hungry for some food
Dogs start a-twitching
And they're looking at you
It was light
By five
Torn all apart
All in the name of democracy
He's hurt
He's dying
Claimed he was a terrorist
Claimed to avert a catastrophe
Someone should'a told him
That the buck stops here
No one ever said
That he was involved with thieves
And they're blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

No sense of harmony, no sense of time,
Don't mention harmony, say:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
Give a little shock, and he raises his hand
Somebody shouts out, says:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
He was shot down in the night!
People ride by but his body's still alive
The girl in the window what has she done?
She looks down at me ...
says: "I don't want to die!"

And I'm blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

Somebody could have told us where they go
Crawling all around looking for foot, foot, footprints
Now tell me what the Hell have we become?
Some dirty little bastards What the Hell is going on?

No sense of harmony, no sense of time,
Don't mention harmony, say:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
Give a little shock, and he raises his hand
Somebody shouts out, says:
What is it? What is it? What is it?
He was shot down in the night!
People ride by but his body's still alive
The girl in the window what has she done?
She looks down at me ...
says: "I don't want to die!"

They're blind and they're blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind
blind, blind
blind, blind, blind, blind, blind

The Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

Bob Geldof e sua turma que não gosta de segundas-feiras. Do álbum "The Fine Art of Surfacing". Muito antes de Pink Floyd, The Wall, de Alan Parker. Muito antes de Live Aid.

"I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS"

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody’s gonna go to school today
She’s gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn’t understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?

Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father’s world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen
Now that ain’t so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot
The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
(With the problems of the how's and why's)
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die?
Oh Oh Oh

Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like
I don’t like (Tell me why)
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don’t like
I don’t like (Tell me why)
I don’t like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down

Billy Joel - The River Of Dreams

Nunca fui especialmente fã do Billy Joel, mas quando ouvi essa canção e vi esse videoclipe pela primeira vez, foi paixão à primeira vista.

"THE RIVER OF DREAMS"

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To the river so deep
I must be lookin' for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross

even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
I try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I'd never lose
Something somebody stole

I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is I've been looking for

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To the river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night

I’m not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That is runnin' to the promised land

In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night
