No Dia do Rock

Decidi fazer o exercício de escolher 10 das minhas bandas de Rock preferidas:

-

Nirvana

Pink Floyd

Queen

R.E.M.

The Beatles

The Clash

The Cure

The Doors

The Police

U2

-

Muitos grupos e cantores ficaram de fora (Supertramp, por exemplo), mas era esse o exercício. E, ainda ontem, ouvi esta canção (e hoje o Live Aid faz 35 anos):

E uma das minhas canções preferidas

Hiroshi Sugimoto, Seascape: Cascade River, Lake Superior (1995)

Find the River

Hey now, little speedy head

The read on the speed meter says

You have to go to task in the city

Where people drown and people serve

Don't be shy

Your just deserve

Is only just light years to go.

Me, my thoughts are flower strewn

Ocean storm, bayberry moon

I have got to leave to find my way

Watch the road and memorize

This life that pass before my eyes

Nothing is going my way.

The ocean is the river's goal

A need to leave the water knows

We're closer now than light years to go.

I have got to find the river

Bergamot and Vetiver

Run through my head and fall away

Leave the road and memorize

This life that pass before my eyes

Nothing is going my way.

There's no one left to take the lead

But I tell you and you can see

We're closer now than light years to go.

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

Fall into the ocean.

The river to the ocean goes

A fortune for the undertow

None of this is going my way

There is nothing left to throw

Of Ginger, lemon, indigo

Coriander stem and rose of hay

Strength and courage overrides

The privileged and weary eyes

Of river poet search naivete

Pick up here and chase the ride

The river empties to the tide

All of this is coming your way
