The purpose of this blog is to reunite Brazilian writers who love The English language and want to share their thoughts, passions, daily chronicles and exchange experiences and doubts related to life itself in their second language, so to speak.
Welcome everybody! Nice to have you here.

Neil Young - Absolutely in love for this song TT
Heart of Gold
I wanna live, I wanna give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions that never giveKeeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
They keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
I've been to Hollywood, I've been to redwood
I've crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, its such a fine line,
That keeps me searching for a heart of goldAnd I'm getting old
It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
Keeps me searching and I'm growing old
Keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Neil Young still rockin' these days!

Piano man
Can you imagine a better way to practice a language you like? I'm very fortunate to have had the chance to learn English by listening to some wonderful singers like Billy Joel. Actually, more than a singer and musician, he is a wonderful poet.
I feel pitty for the younger generation who has so many shitty things to listen to. But still, they have the choice to search for the pearls like this one. Enjoy it!
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
He says ""Son can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes,
but it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it
complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.""
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
he gets me my drinks for free
and he's a quick with a joke
or to light up your smoke
but there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says ""Bill, I believe this is killing me,""
as the smile ran away from his face
""well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
if I could get out of this place.""
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with Davey who's still in the Navy
and probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
as the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call lonelyness
but it's better than drinking alone
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say ""Man, what are you doing here?""
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
and you've got us feeling alright

Here, there and Everywhere, from Beatles!
Simple lyrics and absolutely beautiful. Perfect!
Here, There and Everywhere is a song written primarily by Paul McCartney, recorded for the Beatles 1966 album Revolver. In his biography Many Years From Now, McCartney said the song is one of his favourites!!! John Lennon reportedly told McCartney it was "The best tune on the album" and said in his 1980 Playboy interview it was "one of my favourite songs of the Beatles." It was ranked the 4th greatest song of all time by Mojo in 2000.*
And you, guys, dpn't U all L O V E this song?
Kisses & hugs!

Fred Astaire - Puttin' On the Ritz (DVD Quality)
I cannot think of anybody I know that didn't think (once in their lifetime) of being like Fred Astaire or becoming a professional dancer, when watching any of his performances in his nice, lovely movies.
I remember being a kid and watching those movies and I dreamt that I was Ginger while dancing in my living room. I swear that I was sure that I was as good as them dancing around the sofa...
Good times. In my opinion, he is still one of the best dancers and performatic man in Show Business. "The" Showman.
