Por causa do Mp3…

…de vez em quando oiço coisas que não ouvia há anos. E, também de vez em quando, oiço coisas geniais que não ouvia, estupidamente, há anos. É o caso deste Nightswimming, dos REM. Adoro o piano (acho que é das melhores melodias de piano de sempre!!!). É daquelas músicas que nos deixam vidrados. Dá a sensação de ser tão perfeita que se pode partir. Brilhante.

REM, Automatic for the People, Nightswimming

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night / The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago, / Turned around backwards so the windshield shows / Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse / Still, it's so much clearer / I forgot my shirt at the water's edge / The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night / I'm not sure all these people understand / It's not like years ago, / The fear of getting caught, / Of recklessness and water / They cannot see me naked / These things, they go away, / Replaced by everyday

Nightswimming, remembering that night / September's coming soon / I'm pining for the moon / And what if there were two / Side by side in orbit / Around the fairest sun? / That bright, tight forever drum / Could not describe nightswimming

You, I thought I knew you / You, I cannot judge / You, I thought you knew me,This one laughing quietly underneath my breath / Nightswimming

The photograph reflects, / Every streetlight a reminder / Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night
