2008 - Bright New Year

I can see clearly now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtiXiYMS86U


“I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day”

2007 - Balanço

2007 foi um mau ano. O pior da década. Um ano de muitas perdas... Finalmente que termina.

Muitos partiram este ano, mas fica o seu génio, a sua obra, a sua memória.

Eis apenas alguns dos nomes que partiram este ano, os mais queridos...

Eduardo Prado Coelho

Pavarotti

Ingmar Bergman

Michelangelo Antonioni

DEZEMBRO...

Para os que não desistem de lutar pelos seus sonhos, em qualquer altura, em qualquer lugar...

December - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yk4-P8yLchw

“December is the cruellest month

but this year for once my cheeks are warm

After long years in the wilderness

I'm ready for the storm

Let them throw all their cannonballs

Let all their strong men come

I'm ready to go anywhere

through venom, sick and scum

December isn't always cold

This year she's mine and I know why

Somewhere a flower has to grow

for every flower that dies

I'm stricken with fever

but my heart is strong as steel

I'm ready to go anywhere

I can believe! I can feel!

December is a trusted friend

I always recognise her face

It's a plague of fools thrown aside forever
by her soft and silent grace
She is reckless as a mayday
gentle as a stone
She's ready to go anywhere
to carry me back her

December fell deep in the bleak midwinter time
when Jesus Christ howled a saviour baby's howl
a primal truth as pure as ice
And though we crucified him on a cross
and dragged his words from prayer to curse
He was able to go anywhere
He was almost one of us”


December - "The Waterboys” (1981)
