. soooooomewhere oveeeer the rainbow... .

Eu tinha escrito um post, mas apaguei.
Melhor assim. Só mantenho o que disse anteriormente: Desde terça muita coisa boa acontecendo.
Só alegria vindo poraí. E que venha cada dia mais. Pra mim, pra você (até pra você aí que não gosta de mim e deseja o meu mal), pra todo mundo.
Porra. Tô muito feliz.
MUITO. <3

"Sooooomeeeeeewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Once in a lullaby ii ii iii
Sooooomewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dreamed of
Dreams really do come true ooh ooooh"

Já tenho meus ídolos.

:D

. a vida cuida de juntar os que são da mesma laia .

Há alguns anos me falaram isso e até hoje faz sentido.
:D

O time é pequeno, lutando contra milhares,
contra o fluxo, o tempo, muitos deveres.
Cochicho e os olhares, quem torce o nariz,
não tens afazeres, não sabe o que diz.
Mas a corrente a cada dia ganha um gomo
e é por isso que a cada poesia retomo a raiz.
Nessa batalha com muita garra eu somo,
mudando o curso das águas por todo país.
Muito respeito a nós, a que peço vós,
o nosso trabalho é aguerrido e eu não tô só.
Tem muita gente que segue nesse sentido,
pro time tá unido até abotoar o paletó.
Junto de gente que corre junto, junto nessa corrente,
que cresce, crescemos juntos.
Junto fica de pé, cai se junto não fica,
nossa corrente é forte e hoje se multiplica.
E o rio segue seu curso no terreno acidentado
desviando de montanhas, relevo desnivelado.
Prossegue sem pensar quase que em desatino.
e nunca rejeita o mar, pois sabe qual seu destino.
Peixes vão contra o fluxo da foz até a nascente,
pra começar um novo ciclo como sol no poente.
E é assim também com a gente que é diferente,
que se expressa abertamente falando o que sente.
Experiências, acumulo de vivências,
escolheu o pior caminho por nada mais do que crença.
A gente busca respostas, vive na base da aposta,
acreditando que é possivel viver do que se gosta.
Espero que em nenhum momento os meus príncipios eu traia,
a vida cuida de juntar os que são da mesma laia.
A gente fala o que sente sem medo nenhum da vaia,
se for pra morrer que seja exausto na praia.
Se muitos formam a corrente e seguem contra corrente,
mudam-se o curso das águas e todos seus afluentes
O mundo é assim ignorância e luxo,
então respeite os que seguem contra o fluxo.
Apercebido nego, deixa o mar novo entrar, pra eu poder pensar,
por que do pesar quando eu respiro.
Tente imaginar numa imagem clara às margens do rio Brasil
e polimar tudo num dia frio.
Nego pensa que é onda que a gente é do contra,
que a gente apronta, nem sabe metade do que conta.
Pois tem dedo que aponta e nesse mundo é só mais um,
já vi que o bom senso nem sempre se junta ao senso comum.
Sei que é difícil mas tente entender o lado da gente,
que faz o trabalho sujo, seguindo contra corrente.
Pro melhor futuro aprende sabendo o que nos espera
e que qualquer coisa já era.
Se o bote bate na pedra ele choca se solta os remos
e água forte nos leva pra longe onde não vemos.
Foi sorte que nós não temos no mundo errado viemos,
vivemos no mundo errado, nem tudo aqui é cimento, cinzento ou concreto armado.
Se muitos formam a corrente e seguem contra corrente,
mudam-se o curso das águas e todos seus afluentes
O mundo é assim ignorância e luxo,
então respeite os que seguem contra o fluxo.
É quando o céu se abre e você vê o sol brilhar,
é que você percebe que chegou a hora de mudar.
É o momento de fazer algo novo, aprender algo novo,
mesmo que seja contra gosto do povo.
Fora dos padrões impostos pela sociedade insana,
manifesto a que registro contra quem sempre se engana.
Ou pela ingênuidade, ou por pura distração,
ou pela incapacidade de enxergar evolução.
Tenho que dar mais atenção aos meus sentimentos,
reavaliar meus pensamentos a todo momento.
Tem horas que muitas idéias já começam a pesar,
gente que não dá importância a nossa forma de pensar.
No modo de se expressar difícil de assimilar,
deixa pra lá pois amanhã virá um novo despertar.
Só tenho de agradecer a quem me mantém de pé,
vivendo a mando, rimando e remando contra a maré.
Entre erros e acertos soldado da nobre causa,
sei que as vezes se precisa de uma breve pausa.
Pra recomeçar do zero novamente o que eu sigo,
escolhendo nos dedos quem eu chamo de amigo.
Hábitos antigos prejudicam as pessoas, nos julgam, nos testam,
nem sabem se são boas minhas intensões.
O que luta contra maré, trazendo perseverança,
poesia e muita fé.
Que tenho mais de volta qual é motivação,
de quem briga, não desiste sem rancor e tem paixão.
Não se entrega ao desafio mesmo quando vai ao chão
batalha cegamente sem notar se é em vão.
Coragem na bagagem pra temer o sofrimento,
paciência, tensão, compreensão se é bom momento.
Viver de sonho ou encarando a real,
eu rezo todo dia pra que eu vença no final.

. trust .

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said

Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
This sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again
She repeats let's be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We'll never end 'til we're dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there's nothing we trust

'How could this be happening to me
I'm lying when I say "trust me"
I can't believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering'

Absolutely nothing we trust!

. os mesmos sonhos, os mesmos fantasmas .

E é incrível como sempre tem uma música que descreve exatamente o que tô pensando.

. The Revival Tour 2011 .

Folk music was born from a rich tradition of giving and openness—and no one has done more to bring that original spirit back to the genre in recent years than Chuck Ragan has with The Revival Tour. “It’s an age-old idea and the way that families and communities have shared music for hundreds of years,” Ragan explains when asked where the inspiration for the Revival Tour came from. “At the end of most tours I went on, everyone would end up on stage together anyway so I thought why not communicate more before hand so we can share the old way collaboration onstage from the onset as the folks that came before us all did in the past?’”

Ragan—who is well-known as both a solo recording and touring artist as well as guitarist/vocalist for the legendary punk act Hot Water Music—conceptualized the idea for the Revival Tour in 2005 along with his wife Jill Ragan, however it didn’t come to fruition until 2008 when Ragan hit the road with Avail’s Tim Barry, Lucero’s Ben Nichols and a cast of revolving guests—including Against Me!’s Tom Gabel—for the tour’s inaugural year. “On the first tour we did 52 shows in 57 days. It was a long haul, took a lot of work and time to pull together but once we got on the road it was well worth it,” Ragan reminisces from his Northern California home.

Ragan is also quick to stress that despite the caliber of the musicians traveling alongside him, the Revival Tour is a place where camaraderie overflows. “There’s no hierarchy; it’s about sharing music together and bringing it to people in an extremely honest and grassroots fashion,” he explains, adding that the musicians on the tour all open the show together, join each other throughout the event and close it with a grand finale all together again. “It’s apparent that simple songs of folk music has been rising in popularity and it’s a joy to bring known artists that people already love but very important to us to expose lesser known artists to the world who play exemplary music and live by ethics we admire whether they’re solo musicians, groups or a singer of a band.”

In 2009 the second installment of the Revival Tour featuring Ragan, Barry, Jenny Owen Youngs, Kevin Seconds (7 Seconds), Jim Ward (Sparta), Audra Mae, Frank Turner and others was an even larger success and last year the tour traveled to Australia with the same success with many members of the Revival family for the tour’s first International run. This year the tour will venture on into the U.K. and all over Europe where it will feature the Gaslight Anthem’s Brian Fallon, the Loved Ones’ Dave Hause, Chuck Ragan and the Alkaline Trio’s Dan Andriano all accompanying each other along with Jon Gaunt on the fiddle and Joe Ginsberg on the upright bass. However as anyone who has attended the tour in the past knows, the line-up for each night of the Revival Tour is never truly set in stone. So unless you don’t mind missing something or someone, you want to be there from the beginning to the end.

“There are always going to be surprises and artists that come out of the woodwork and happen to be in that town that night,” Ragan responds when asked what a typical night with these troubadours entails. “That’s the thing about the Revival Tour, though we do rehearse and have some ideas of our collaborations, you never really know what’s going to happen,” he continues. “We’re sharing the music in the most stripped down honest way possible and sometimes there will be folks in town breezing through, so there’s no telling who’ll come up on that stage.”

Since its inception folk music’s popularity has always moved in waves and while Ragan rejoices at the fact that the genre seems to be going through another phase of popularity he also plans to keep the Revival Tour rolling when that isn’t necessarily the case. “We are going to do everything in our power to keep this tour going for years to come because we believe in the music; we put our hearts, souls and energy into it and the ethics we live by aren’t going anywhere,” he continues. “We’re still going to be here regardless of whether there are a lot of folks coming to the shows or it goes back underground where the majority of us come from. In the meantime, we’ve been documenting and archiving as many of the shows, artists and show goers as possible. We all feel we’re sharing something special together and it’s crucial to us to capture as much of that as possible with film, interviews, live recordings or backstage, back of the bus or parking lot hootenannies.”

Staying true to that spirit, Ragan—who recently returned from a trip to Germany where he held an instrument donation drive at the Eine Welt Haus in Munich. A refugee house where he helped build up and support their music and art program—Aside from the cause of supporting children’s music programs, Ragan is striving to make this year’s Revival Tour more ecologically conscious by raising funds for re-forestation projects and appropriating money for impoverished communities. “If you don’t take more time to support the people and the communities who’ve gotten you where you are and do what you can to take care of the world around you, sooner or later everything will disappear. It’s very important for us to do what we can to involve causes we believe in as well as run a responsible and sustainable tour by reducing and offsetting our carbon footprint,” Ragan explains, adding that in the past the tour has held guitar raffles to benefit various charities. “We have a lot of ideas in mind for these upcoming tours so that we can play the music we believe in and give back to the communities as well.”

Let’s face it; there really is no other experience like the Revival Tour and the intangible bond that ties all these artists together is evident at every show. “The most important part of the Revival Tour is the camaraderie and the way people are drawn to each other whether they’re on or off of the stage,” Ragan explains. “We live and breathe this music and I think it’s just a natural instinct for people who believe and live music to want to share that with other like-minded musicians,” he summarizes. “For those of us that have been traveling on the road for years it makes for a more interesting show not only for us involved but also for the folks who are spending their time and money to come see and support it. It truly is an unforgettable event.”

. what stops us from doing that which we love? .

. saturday night .

Tirando o monte de gente tosca, empurra e empurra, mistura de cheiros horríveis...o show foi bom e em ótimas companhias. :)

And I can remember when I saw her last
We were running all around and having a blast
But the back seat of the drive-in
is so lonely without you
I know when your home

I was thinking about you
There was something I forgot to say
I was crying on saturday night
I was out cruising without you,
they were playing our song
Crying on saturday night...

. oh sick boy .

morri mil vezes.
