The Ark - It takes a fool to remain sane

De ha uns tempos para ca, que ando com a Suecia na cabeca! Acho que desde que a Keiko-sensei foi passar ferias a Stockholm... Mas, enfim, ca fica um belo som dos tempos em que vivi nesse sitio fantastico que me traz sempre optimas recordacoes...

For some time now, I've been thinking of Sweden all the time. Probably since Keiko-sensei went to Stockholm for holidays... But, well, here's a great song from the time when I used to live in that amazing place from which I keep such great memories...

Allo Allo - Season 1

Lembro-me de ser miudo e rir-me as gargalhas com esta serie. E ainda hoje o faco. Absolutamente genial!

I remember being just a kid and laughing at this series. And I still do it today. Absolutely amazing!

Orange Range - Locolotion

Depois do tom bastante serio do ultimo video, ca fica um dos videos mais deliciosos que descobri no Pais das Maravilhas.
E de um grupo de nome Orange Range (ler com um ligeiro "i" no final e nao um "e", bem ao estilo japones) e fiquei doido com o video, que esta muito a frente, sobretudo por estas bandas! Dei com ele numa sessao de karaoke em Kusu e levou-me tempo para o meter aqui porque o Youtube nao o permite la (malditos direitos de autor). Mas la consegui!

After a very serious video, here's one of the coolest clips I found in Wonderland.
It't by a group called Orange Range (note that it should be read with a "ee" sound at the end, in the good Japanese way) and I went crazy with it! It's way out there, bearing in mind where I am!
I found it at a karaoke session in Kusu and it took me time to get here because even Youtube doesn't have it (damn the copyrights). But It's finally here!

Hirai Ken - Ring

Vi este video no outro dia e chorei. A musica e linda, mas nao e isso. O velhote faz-me lembrar o Norberto e ver esta familia reunida faz-me lembrar que de isso jamais sera possivel quando regressar. Prometi a mim mesmo nao voltar a ver este video, pela simples razao de que o Norberto, e eu sei-o, nao me querera ver a chorar!

De other day I watched this video and cried. The song is beautiful, but it wasn't because of it. The old man reminds me of Norberto, my grandfather, and seeing this family together reminds me that that will never again be possible when I go back. I promised to myself never to watch this video again, for one simple reason: my grandfather doesn't want me to cry! I know it!

Gigliola Cinquetti - Non ho l'eta

A minha mae sempre adorou esta musica e eu lembro-me de a ouvir de quando em vez. E eu nao podia ficar indiferente...

My mother always liked this song and I remember listening to it from time to time. I could not help but liking it too!

Little Britain - Vicky Pollard

Este e dos melhores sketches que eu ja alguma vez tive a oportunidade de ver. E tudo bom, mas os ultimos 20 segundos sao geniais!

This is one of the best sketches I have ever seen. It's really all amazing, but the last 20 seconds are just genius!

Mariza - Cavaleiro monge

Digam la o que disserem, da nova geracao, esta e a minh favorita. A voz dela e tao clara e forte. As palavras que ela canta. A forma como esta. Optimo.

From all the new people coming back to fado, she is my favorite. Her voice is clear and strong. The words she sings, the way she does it... Just great!

Bjork - Bachelorette

Eu acho a Bjork genial. E diferente dos demais e consegue ser optima. Acho que esta e uma das minhas musicas favoritas! Nao sei porque... Tem uma forca na voz mas, ao mesmo tempo, uma calma inspiradora. Nao consigo explicar!

I think Bjork is a genius. She is different but she surely can get away with it! I think this is one of my favorite songs by her! And I can't even say why... I think she has a certain strength in her voice, but at the same time an inspiring calm. I just can't explain it!

Moby featuring Debbie Harry - New York New York

Dei com esta no youtube ha uns dias e ando louco! A presenca da Senhora Dona Debbie Harry empresta um tom especial a esta musica. E o video esta demais. Viva!

I came across this video a few days ago and it made me go crazy! Lady Debbie Harry makes this music even more special. And the video is so cool! Hurray!

Paulo de Carvalho - E depois do Adeus

Esta dispensa apresentacoes! Se relevarmos o cabelinho, acho este video optimo! Nao se sentem optimos ao ouvir uma cancao que mudou um pais?

This song was played on the radio on the dawn of April 25th, 1974. It was the sign for the beginning of the army revolution that would overthrow the dictatorship in Portugal. Isn't it amazing listening to a song that literally changed a country!?
