Coisas de fã!

Elvis e a música de batismo de James

Não, não, James não é uma pessoa. É o Renault Logan vermelho que comprei esta semana.

Na próxima sexta-feira, nós vamos pegá-lo na concessionária.

Não foi difícil escolher qual música vai ser a de batismo do nosso possante.

Que seria uma cantada por Elvis, então, aí é que não havia dúvidas mesmo.

Bom, a escolhida foi essa:



Eis a letra, só para que não haja dúvidas do porquê:

Raised on Rock
(Words & music by Mark James)

I remember as a child I used to hear
Music that they played Lord with a feel'
Some call it folk, some call it soul
People let me tell you it was rock and roll

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio

Listening to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the DJ's played
A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode
Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
I thought it was a fad, thought that it would pass
But the younger generation knew it would last
Time's gone by, the beat goes on
But every time I hear it Lord it takes me home

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
Every day when I got home I turned on my radio
Mother played recordings of Beethoven's Fifth
Mozart's sonatas down the classical Liszt
My papa loved to listen to his country songs
While I was in the back room rockin' on

I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul
I was born to love the beat I was made for rock and roll
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soulI was born to love the beat
I was made for rock and roll
I was raised on rock, I got rhythm in my soul

Saudades

Não sei se é saudade de Memphis ou é simplesmente meu amor e minha admiração por Elvis que estão sempre me assaltando, mas há certas músicas as quais não tenho conseguido parar de ouvir.

Esta, por exemplo, é triste e linda ao mesmo tempo.



Eis a letra para quem quiser acompanhar:

Sweet Angeline
(words & music by arnold - martin - morrow)

Sweet angeline I loved you much more than poets say in rhyme
Just for one short time

Sweet angeline remember though weve not seen the summer through
I lived only for you
Im only human and I realize its no use trying to disguise

My love for you angeline has ended
So lets be thankful now not sad
For the little love we've had

Sweet angeline remember though weve not seen the summer through
I lived only for you

I'm only human and I realize its no use trying to disguise
My love for you angeline has ended
So lets be thankful now not sad
For the little love we've had
