Era pré-adolescente... fui ao Zoo Marine.. e eis que de dentro das colunas que povoavam o tal local saía um som "orelhudo". Aquilo era mel para os meus ouvidos. Instintivamente eu fiquei todo o dia a cantar em loop a melodia da canção. Já disse loop? Ok..loop..loop..loop
Two years later
Descubro a banda que cantava isto e...
há coisas que só fazem sentido descobrir dois anos depois. Era a prenda que o meu aparelho auditivo mais precisava. O meu aparelho auditivo ficou-me eternamente grato. Nunca uma música tinha feito tão bem o papel de cotonete.
Cotonetes, para que vos quero?
Como diria Bruno Nogueira
"Dá vontade de rasgar os ouvidos e ouvir tudo ainda mais."
E a tal canção versa desta forma:
I’ll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can’t keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray
Drawn by the undertow
My life is out of control
I believe this wave will bear my weight
So let it flow
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy
Now I’m relieved to hear
That you’ve been to some far out places
It’s hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’ve swung back down again
It’s worse than it was before
If I hadn’t seen such riches
I could live with being poor
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy
Those who feel the breath of sadness
Sit down next to me
Those who find they’re touched by madness
Sit down next to me
Those who find themselves ridiculous
Sit down next to me
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate, in tears
In love, in fear, in hate
Down
Down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Oh sit down
Sit down next to me
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, down
In sympathy
Down
