U

Se tivéssemos apenas uma parede para pintar, deixando como legado a gerações a milénios de distância, como aconteceu com as pinturas rupestres... o que desenharíamos?


... e o resto são detalhes.

Wise Up (do filme Magnolia, Aimee Mann)

It's not
What they thought
When they first began it
They got
What they want
Now they can hardly stand it though,
By now they know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til they wise up

Nebulosidades auditivas (3)

Acabado de sair há uma semana...
Reflektor, dos canadianos Arcade Fire (9 pm 9/9, Newfoundland, 2013)

Trapped in a prism, in a prism of light
Alone in the darkness, darkness of white
We fell in love, alone on a stage
In the reflective age

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore
Entre le royaume, des vivants et des morts
If this is heaven
I don't know what it’s for
If I can’t find you there
I don't care

I thought I found a way to enter
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

Now, the signals we send, are deflected again
We're still connected, but are we even friends?
We fell in love when I was nineteen
And now we're staring at a screen

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore
Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts
If this is heaven
I need something more
Just a place to be alone
Because you're my home

I thought I found a way to enter
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

It’s just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection of a reflection
Will I see you on the other side?
We all got things to hide
It’s just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection of a reflection
Will I see you on the other side?
We all got things to hide

All right, let's go back
Our song escapes on little silver discs
Our love is plastic, we'll break it to bits
I want to break free, but will they break me?
Down, down, down
Don't mess around

I thought I found a way to enter
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

Thought you were praying to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)
Thought you were praying to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)
Thought you were praying to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It’s just a Reflektor)

It’s a Reflektor
It’s just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side?
It’s just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side?
We all got things to hide
It’s just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side?


..... já agora, em 8 de Setembro, houve um eclipse de Vénus feito pela Lua. Não tenho fotografias, mas encontrei esta, tirada próximo do momento da ocultação, no Brasil:

... mas é mais interessante uma foto de telescópio, obtida em Maio de 2010:

onde, certamente por "defeito da câmara", ficou um pontinho vermelho no meio da Lua!
