Staying "ALIVE"... Staying "Alive"...

OPTIMUS ALIVE

(dia 10 de julho 2009)

Foi interessante saber da presença dos Ramp neste concerto que é um grupo oriundo das Paivas - Seixal. Malta conhecida por várias razões, inclusivé pelos seus dotes musicais.

Pontos Negros passaram ao largo que o tempo nem sempre permite estar a tempo. Eagles Of Death Metal, os The kooks sempre a abrir, depois Blasted Mechanism com a sua apresentação de palco muito interessante e vigorosa e, depois Placebo e tá andar de corda que o tempo tinha sempre mais olhos que barriga, infelizmente. Mas melhor que estar em todas é saber aproveitar o pouco por onde se pode.

Less gostou, também, imenso do ambiente, dos concertos e de sentir toda esta boa energia. A surpresa do dia foram os Blasted Mechanism de quem ela dizia que não gostava e nem se importava de não ver. Qual não foi o seu espanto quando sentiu no seu corpo o ritmo tomar posse de si com toda a energia cósmica dos Blasted. Ficou fascinada pelo seu poder e presença de palco, apesar do local não ter sido dos melhores. No entanto, foi possível cantar, dançar e sentir de perto tudo o que de bom nos pode trazer a boa energia da música. É por isso que eu costumo dizer que a música não tem fronteiras, nem tempo, apenas gostos que podem ser diferentes mas, que também se podem encontrar, sem querer, como foi o caso. A MÚSICA É, SEM DÚVIDA, UMA LINGUAGEM UNIVERSAL!

PREFERÊNCIAS MUSICAIS DOS REFERIDOS GRUPOS

(apesar de haver outras que também gosto e até mais recentes, em alguns casos)

PLACEBO: Where Is My Mind

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

You try this trick and spin, yeah

Your head will collapse, there is nothing in it

And you ask yourself?

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?

Way out, in the water see her swimmin’

I was swimmin’in the Caribbean

Animals were hiding behind the rocks, yeah

Except the little fish but he told me east is west

They trying to crack

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?

Way out, in the water see her swimmin’

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

You try this trick and spin, yeah

Your head will collapse, there is nothing in it

And you ask yourself?

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?

Where is my mind? Where is my mind?

Way out, in the water see her swimmin’

THEN THE CLOUDS WILL OPEN UP FOR ME

My guy has a tan transcontinental

But it keeps me enchained

Watch and old black and white movie

Fred and Ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame

I don’t want to be forgotten

I can’t be alone

So don’t you dare leave me

It’s like coming home

It’s a skin that has died

Human voices like a drum

And they’re looking right through me

Scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me

My guy has a tattoo ornamental

When he’s frozen in space

Cut your eye far to me

A covered carcass is too elemental, caught underneath a subway

I don’t want to be forgotten

I can’t be alone

So don’t you dare leave me

It’s like coming home

It’s skin that has died

Human voices like a drum

And they’re looking right through me

Scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me

One more time for me, one more time for me

One more time for me, one more time for me

One more time for me, one more time for me

Trans-likened, twisting my ankle

Doing the grave dance

Narcotic? Yes please, I’ll have a sample

Riding on my very last chance

Then the clouds will open for me

Gonna meet my Jesus Christ

I see history playing before me

For pleasure and passion you play the price

Sadness the name of the spike that took me

I’.ll make that’s all

Like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles

Who came for my soul

BREATH UNDER WATER

Here comes another fall from grace,

I’m always falling on my face

This attitude that I embrace with a love I’m trying to replace

Try to kill this song’ cause the melody’s all wrong

And there’s a beaver comin’on

It’s hard to reconcile what I’ve become

With the wounded child hiding deep inside

Breath underwater, I’m comin’up for air

I wanna see another dawn, comin’up for air

Sick of the slaughter, I’m comin’up for air

‘Cause I’ve beeb foating here too long

Take my ego for a ride’cause there’s nobody by my side

It’s getting hard to justify and it won’t be long till I collide

My weakness laid bare as people stop and stare

But it’s the last time I swear

It’s hard to reconcile what I’ve become

With the wounded child hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater, I’m comin’up for air

I wanna see another dawn, comin’up for air

Sick of the slaughter, I’m comin’up for air

‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

Stop breathing, stop breathing

Stop breathing, stop breathing

Breath underwater, I’m comin’up for air

I wanna see another dawn, comin’up for air

Sick of the slaughter,I’m comin’up for air

´Cause I’ve been floating here too long

I’m coming, I’m coming, I’m coming

Comin’up for air, comin’up for air, comin’up for air

THE EAGLES: PEACEFUL EASY FEELING

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,

against your skin, it's so brown

and I wanna sleep with you

in the desert tonight

with a billion stars all around

'cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing on the ground

And I found out a long time ago

shat a woman can do to your soul

Ah, but she can't take you anyway

You don't already know how to go

and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing on the ground

I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend

but this voice keeps whispering

in my other ear, tells me

I may never see you again

'cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling

and I know you won't let me down

'cause I'm already standing on the ground

'cause I'm already standing on the ground

oooo, oooo, ooooo

HOTEL CALIFORNIA

On the dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself,

This could be Heaven or this could be Hell

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor

I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California

Suchb a lovely place

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,

Please bring me my wine

He said' We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine

And still those voices ares calling from far away,

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face

They livin'it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,

The pink champagne on ice

And she said' We are all just prisoners here, of our own device

And in the master's chambers,

They gathered for the feast

The stab it with their steely knives,

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

'Relax' said the night man,

We are programmed to receive.

You can checkout any time you like,

But you can never leave!

THE COOKS: SEE THE SUN

On you can have it all and wrap it in the world

You can have everything

You can have love and lots of other things

To make you think

But when it all comes down to you girl

Yeah no matter what you to

Take a look at yourself and realize

I’ve been good to you

I’ve been good to you

Oh no! I didn’t mean to say what I did say

All about lovers and how they should lay

That was never for me to say and say

Don’t you see now how I pay

I see the sun rising

And all you see is its fall, fall, fall

So come on up

Wasn’t it you who said life was like a plastic cup

To be used an then disposed of

Yeah but that’s no way to live a life like yours

Don’t you see now how I pay

I see the sun rising

And all you see is its fall, fall, fall

For all the times I never never turned away

And now whe is there on someone else’s arms (4x)

I believe in what I see

I believe the human body

I believe the mind is free

I believe in what I see

I believe that’s not the end

I believe we can speak with them

I believe in the connection of worlds

I believe in telepathy

I believe in the power of people

I believe in destiny

I believe in evolution

I believe in what I see
