Thunder Road - O Convite....




...às vezes o obvio é o mais complicado de ser notado...Porquê Thunder Road?


Nao tenho a capacidade ou a virtude de colocar facilmente palavras nos sentimentos...e nada melhor ou conveniente do que "pegar" o que outros mais iluminados relatam para o tornar um pouco nosso também..

Acredito que mais importante do que dizer ou ouvir é fazer e sentir...

O que senti nesta musica foi uma especie de convite...

Convite para olhar a ideias, sentimentos e emoções que se encontram ao longo desta "estrada da vida"..(Deus meu, que chavão)!

Convite para nao olhar para trás, para preconceitos, para julgamentos fáceis...

Enfim...um convite para "viver" dia a dia, km a km de cada vez! Apreciar o que se tem agora sem esperar por algo melhor que poderá nunca chegar...É melhor caminhar do que parar e ficar a pensar...


e Se esse caminho for feito na companhia de alguem que nos ame e que amemos na mesma medida, melhor ainda, nao?



"The screen door slams Mary's dress waves

Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays

Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only

Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again

Don't run back inside darling you know just what I'm here for

So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore

Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright

Oh and that's alright with me

You can hide 'neath your covers And study your pain

Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain

Waste your summer praying in vain For a savior to rise from these streets

Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer, girlIs beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow

Hey what else can we do now

Except roll down the windowAnd let the wind blow back your hair

Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere

We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels

Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks

Oh oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land

Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road

Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run

Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold Thunder Road

Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk

And my car's out backIf you're ready to take that long walk, From your front porch to my front seat

The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely

For words that I ain't spoken

But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken

There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away

They haunt this dusty beach roadIn the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets

They scream your name at night in the street

Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet

And in the lonely cool before dawn

You hear their engines roaring on

But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind,

so Mary climb in

It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win..."

  1. Podes não ter a capacidade ou a virtude de colocar facilmente palavras nos sentimentos, mas…
    Pegaste nas palavras de um grande contador de histórias, de experiências de vida, intensas, emotivas …
    De km percorridos… e não estamos a falar apenas de estradas de alcatrão
    É estranho ver-te nesta confidência tão tua, tão pessoal…
    Obrigado por partilhares…

  2. PUDESSE EU

    Pudesse eu não ter laços nem limites
    Ó vida de mil faces transbordantes
    Pra responder aos teus convites
    Suspensos na surpresa dos instantes.
