Aves à solta nas ruas das cidades. Trazem consigo sons de ventos longínquos em harmonias (re)inventadas. Chegam de África, América Latina ou do Norte, de qualquer parte do mundo atrás de sonhos e novas brisas.
Nos empedrados onde os passantes trotam vidas, são oásis. E, com eles, o dia serena, o betão é trocado por rios e bosques, por chilreada de aves saltitando de galho em galho.
contando também as que não têm músicos... são muitas: vai um concurso zinho?
con vites para quem acertar: quem é o Julio? e o Venceslao?
Street Music By Elizabeth Akers Allen 1832–1911 Methought a sweet sound from the street uprose,— And as I pause, and strive again to hear, ‘St Patrick’s Day’ draws softly to its close, And ‘Jordan’s’ waves flow sweetly to my ear, What though from humble source the chorus floats? Music is music, and I listen still; I have ‘an ear’, — ay, two! — Even jews-harp notes Pass current with me, hear them where I will, A slight Italian boy, with jetty hair Shading dark eyes, grinds out the melody, Pulverized music! — In his garb and air I read of sunnier lands beyond the sea, And, dreaming, wander to a fairer clime, Recalled, too suddenly, by — ‘If you please, a dime!’
Street Musicians By John Ashbery b. 1927 John Ashbery One died, and the soul was wrenched out Of the other in life, who, walking the streets Wrapped in an identity like a coat, sees on and on The same corners, volumetrics, shadows Under trees. Farther than anyone was ever Called, through increasingly suburban airs And ways, with autumn falling over everything: The plush leaves the chattels in barrels Of an obscure family being evicted Into the way it was, and is. The other beached Glimpses of what the other was up to: Revelations at last. So they grew to hate and forget each other.
So I cradle this average violin that knows Only forgotten showtunes, but argues The possibility of free declamation anchored To a dull refrain, the year turning over on itself In November, with the spaces among the days More literal, the meat more visible on the bone. Our question of a place of origin hangs Like smoke: how we picnicked in pine forests, In coves with the water always seeping up, and left Our trash, sperm and excrement everywhere, smeared On the landscape, to make of us what we could.
I need another story Something to get off my chest My life gets kinda boring Need something that I can confess
'Til all my sleeves are stained red From all the truth that I've said Come by it honestly I swear Thought you saw me wink, no I've been on the brink, so
Tell me what you want to hear Something that were like those years I'm sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My God Amazing that we got this far It's like we're chasing all those stars Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news, all the problems that we could solve And when a situation rises, just write it into an album Seen it straight to go I don't really like my flow, no, so
Tell me what you want to hear Something that were like those years [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/onerepublic-lyrics/secrets-lyrics.html ] I'm sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Oh, got no reason, got not shame Got no family I can blame Just don't let me disappear I'mma tell you everything
So tell me what you want to hear Something that were like those years I'm ick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secrets away
So tell me what you want to hear Something that were like those years Sick of all the insincere So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time Don't need another perfect line Don't care if critics ever jump in line I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Depois de toda aquela música (e não só) este silêncio que não se adapata nada à 'Menina da Rádio', logo no 1º dia da Rádio. Estará a preparar a crónica-reportagem em grande, estará enlutada por A(n)tenas, estará a fazer a ementa para o dia-noite dos seus amores? Que seja algo ainda melhor... e ficaremos compensados desta ponte surda no habitual tráfego 'tão certinho como um motor Rabor'.
Teresa, sempre me fascinaram os artistas de rua. De passagem sempre apressada, pelo canto do olho vamos olhando para os "performers", ajuizando o seu valor e a coragem de estarem assim disponíveis para todos nós... A rua de Santa Catarina era a minha preferida porque lá se concentravam uma renovada pleíede de artistas. A arte de rua, sim, é de louvar muito acima das míseras moedas que vão caindo com alguma resistência e desdém de que quem não "lê" a mensagem! Pelo menos um largo sorriso e por vezes perguntas de onde eram, um breve diálogo, para que assim se fechasse o círculo de quem veramente aprecia estas figuras! Que nunca morra esta actividade! Num País cada vez menos sensível á Arte, á Cultura! Jorge madureira
