London Grammar - Hey Now (Live on KEXP)

I prefer the guitar, as a rule of thumb, but in this song the piano (the keys) is nothing but everyting.

Ao vivo, ao ar-livre e com uma multidão à frente, to make it beat.

Now, do you even dare to stop and listen to the lyrics?

Lily Allen - Fuck You https://t.co/D2biRytVg6 via @YouTube

— André Gonçalves (@andre__go) February 21, 2017

"Fuck You (Very Much)"

Look inside
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
'Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor

So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval

Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Do you get
Do you get a little kick out of being slow-minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well that's not how you find it

Do you
Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?
'Cause there's a hole where your soul should be
You're losing control of it and it's really distasteful

Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate and it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
Fuck you

You say, you think we need to go to war
Well you're already in one,
'Cause its people like you
That need to get slew
No one wants your opinion

Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
'Cause your words don't translate and it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

"Help I'm Alive" is a superb title.

Just hold on

Performance |USA - The Late Late Show with James Corden

Louis Tomlinson with &

His mother passed away last December at the age of 43 yrs-old so this is very emotional for him. He deserves a standing ovation. Well done, Louis!

Performance |UK - The X Factor

This last performance (video above) was just days after his mother's death.
I'm very fond of emotional speeches so I advise you to listen to Simon Cowell's speech at 4'37'' and to watch Tomlinson's reaction to that.

Under, "I am mine" to read.

Lyrics
"I am mine"

The selfish, they're all standing in line
Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time
Me, I figure as each breath goes by
I only own my mind

North is to South what the clock is to time
There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life
I know I was born and I know that I'll die
The In-between is mine
I am mine

And the meaning it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significance between the lines
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying
The full moon is looking for friends at high tide
The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied
I only know my mind
I am mine

And the feeling it gets left behind
All the innocence lost at one time
Significance behind the eyes
There's no need to hide
We're safe tonight

And the meanings that get left behind
All the innocent lost among time
We are all different behind the eyes
There is no need to hide

And the feeling that gets left behind
All the innocence broken with lies 
Yeah. We are all doomed behind the eyes
They're saying to hide
Yeah, yeah yeah

I checked the lyrics twice, there are some mistakes but the meaning is all there and it is overwhelming. 

Podes fazer a interpretação literal porque bate tudo certo. It's like to put two and two together. Não precisas da página das soluções do livro de matemática.

Color of the Guitar

Pantone 283 is the color of the guitar. Customized version and her muscles contract as she feels it. It comes from the soul, whatever it may be.

She's faking it (since 1'35'' onwards) when she reads the lyrics looking down below. Anyway, she's good as the song seems to be on the tip of her tongue despite that.

Check out the profile photo of her Twitter page. Stunning, to say the least.

F*#@ it if they talk

YES. No sh*t.

Ed Sheeran's business model

Ed Sheeran's business-model:
- Use of the loopboard to cut costs on workforce, that is, band members. DIY policy. Revenue sources are quite similar to those who operate in the music industry, expenses are much lower.

Setting the target-audience precisely:

“There's no key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone.”

Vertical integration takes precedence over outsourcing (when possible):

- Autonomy to build things on his own

- Limited outsourcing of supporting activities

- Recording contracts carefully written to preserve the fingerprint that he wishes to lend to his music.

- Logistics costs dramatically cut down because he is a one man-show. He can schedule more dates in his worldwide tours due to the fact that  his entourage is relatively small. 

Coherent career path:
1st studio album named +, read as plus
2nd studio album named x, read as multiply
3rd studio album named /, read as divide 

forthcoming album name? -, read as minus or subtract? We'll see.

He is smart, isn't he?

Dancing in the rain

Glastonbury has to have wind to wave all those flags. The drops of rain hit you diagonally. SW wind that suddenly changes to NW. 

His lips pucker so that the air that comes out of his lungs is pressurized enough. If there's no wind he can surely make it with the hot air that comes from inside him. A hot voice to combat the cold weather.

For god's sake, the camera at the side of the stage is a testimony that his lips touch the mic... several times. Even the mic has a hidden wind-shield layer that is robust enough to trap some wind, 'cause you are in Glastonbury.

Pro tip: Draw a tiny round hole with your lips if you want to blow out your birthday candles at the first try. Set the direction and put pressure on the air. Swallow your saliva because you don't want a water-jet to blow-out that fire, air is enough.

Indeed.

How to make sparks fly

I wonder why my mind does not create electric light when I think too much. I will give a call to Elon Musk so he can help me to figure this out. One thing is for sure, the electricity is there and I waste a lot of it, so I need additional storage.

This song is a short-circuit trigger and has nothing to do with the paragraph I wrote above. You may also want to watch the official video for this song on YouTube because it has some subtle and thought-out imagery.

Mesmerizing video

One Direction Performs "Perfect"

Eles preparam melhor as atuações quando pisam solo americano e isto é um facto. Aliás, todos os britânicos e artistas estrangeiros fazem isso, o que é perfeitamente compreensível. É sinal que a estratégia está a ser bem pensada e que estão a ser bem geridos.

A indústria de manufatura britânica - incluíndo a indústria de entretenimento, sim porque isto é entretenimento manufaturado - sempre foi um êxito e teve sempre grandes masterminds por trás. These guys - band members - went through a very competitive selection process. An engineer recruited by Apple can explain to you how tough is to get in that company, and those 1D members were screened and hand-picked somewhat like that imaginary engineer was.

Here are the numbers:

EARNINGS 2016 - $110 Million
EARNINGS 2015 - $130 Million
EARNINGS 2014 - $75 Million

This spreadsheet doesn't lie. O sucesso deles acaba por ser merecido porque sempre foi esta a meta de quem decidiu apostar neles. Isto é, fizeram o que lhes foi pedido. Além disso, o público deles parece entretido por isso  nenhuma das partes  envolvidas nesta relação - 1D e público-alvo - tem razão de queixa, pelo contrário.

Silence VS Noise

Am I posting an inspirational quote? Seriously?

Studying is the key and it will always be. It is the key because it opens you doors, so that you can see the unseen #porquetuqueresveristo. It has dictated the world order since the beginning of times.

If they say to you that there is a substitute for hard-work or smart-work, then they are lying to you deliberately. Like... in-your-face. The future belongs to those who study and to those who know how the things work.

No school or no knowledge? Sorry, but then you have no future or worse of it, a rough future.

This is the first rule of life. It is harsh, isn't it? Here's the bright side: R@D industries will never go into bankruptcy. 

Take the advice of life. It is not an advice of mine because life will always be smarter than me. Do you even dare to disagree? Then you entered through the trapdoor and as its name implies you will be trapped, be it sooner or later.

I don't mince words

Not just talking-heads. They are thinking it out loud and they are aging at an incredible pace (R&R has taken its toll, physically speaking). Ugh, I need to calm down and take it easy. These brat kids will divert me from the right path. I just need to understand them (because, they are understandably upset) and break free. I cannot like Green Day(the band) everyday, but an affair once in a while is OK. They deserve it, they have a voice and they do a good job.

They are saying the truth, though. You may dislike the style -it is a little bit showy, isn't it?-  but the substance is there.

Make it rain

Make it rain and take a ride on this emotional rollercoaster. Bring with you your umbrella☂️ 'cause the weatherman says that these drops are from Jupiter.

This song is the real emotion-machine. Let's get it started. T-minus is counting... DOWN. Time to go UP and here we go.

RX: To those MD's reading this, this is no BS. This song can bring people back to a meaningful life. To those researchers out there: crack this code and you will get a Nobel Prize in the most unimaginable field: Life sciences! I am sure there are a lot of formulas to unravel and those go deep beneath the surface. So you'd better get a lot of equipment to see what is going on underneath. This song beats like an heart - I know that it has no drummer, at least in this version, but you can use a metronome to verify that it plays to a regular pulse - and, to top it all, this song fires neurons like a brain does. So, are you lazy or what, where is that emotion-machine? Musicians seem to have invented it first and guess what, they don't know how on earth they have created it. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss (note to self: you should  never agree with the last sentence you wrote). It lets you dream as this song does. Conclusion: Musicians are the dreamers but you are the dream-makers. So, make that a reality. Not a reality-machine (we know that reality s*cks), but the emotion-machine.

Message to the general public: forget the f*cking science behind it and just listen to it. It's awesome, and I am sure you can feel it. 

IMPORTANT WARNING:
-pay attention to the lyrics.
-pay attention to the lyrics.
-pay attention to the lyrics.

They are the main driver of the song. They will guide you throughout   the entire song. You don't need a GPS, the good old paper-map is on the lyrics. Now, go on and start that ride. You're here, but who knows where this song  will leave you at?

This is a rollercoaster where the seatbelt will come undone, no matter how hard will you fasten it. Because emotions can only go wild in this space-voyage where gravity lacks and you are freer. Are you sentient or are you a robot?

Agora, pergunta-me. Foste tu que escreveste isto? Fui. Adorava quando na escola me perguntavam se tinha feito os trabalhos de casa sem ajuda ou quando fazia uma coisa tão bem que não queriam acreditar que tinha sido eu a fazê-la. Quando é que percebes de uma vez por todas que eu sou bom naquilo que faço quando me dão oportunidades para tal? Vá, pergunta outra vez, foste mesmo tu? É tão bom que te custa a acreditar, não é? Vai ao TurnItIn e pergunta por essa internet fora. Give recognition where recognition is due. Eu faço o melhor que consigo e esforço-me para tal. Se não faço melhor é porque não consigo, tal como toda a gente, não é? Mas se está bem feito, pelo menos reconhece. E eu sei reconhecer quando o meu trabalho está bem feito ou mal feito.

My dream: to be the earliest form of something, from which copies may be made. Original, uma cena que dá muito trabalho e aquilo que todos querem ser. Obviamente, que eu também quero. Atenção que não tenho nada contra os chineses, eles copiam o que é bom. Did I go a little overboard?

Credit where credit is due: Drops of Jupiter. Train. This is a great review because they have made a great song. Good things are contagious.

O excelente vende-se caro mas podes voltar que não me vais comprar. Priceless, this is not for sale anymore. My edition is limited. Custou-te a perceber, não foi?

When the man landed on the moon he said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind!". Did you understand that back then? You weren't even born. Some on Earth have celebrated that feat and a few have disregarded that. I expect that now everything makes sense, because the journey was worth it. It was not magic, he went to the moon and he has come back. That man had a vision: he saw the moon every night.  

Now, we have the telescope and and we can see Jupiter. We can see what others could not. May we go there?

Sound and Vision

Once again. And all your senses come back to life. And all the colors in the world converge into shades of black and white (see video above).

Sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (gustation), smell (olfaction), and touch (somatosensation) are the five traditionally recognized senses.

5? There are some missing. For sure, this song is the proof.

Every listen feels like a brand-new song. Chill-inducing. Outra X. Maths: one love = two mouths. Now, add every word of the song into the equation.
