Welcome everybody! Nice to have you here.

Wind beneath my wings with lyrics
I don't know how many of you had the chance to watch "Beaches", from 1988, with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey.
But if you don't, here goes a plus recommendation to one of the most moving movies I had the chance to watch. The title in Portuguese is "Amigas para sempre" but don't foolish yourself thinking it's a girllie nonsense pass time movie. Not at all.
It is a lesson for life.
Both friends change so much emotions and circunstances in their lives and it's so interesting to see how life can play tricks on us...you laugh and cry and feel the same love and pain they do. Bette Midler's performance is a plus and the sound track is perfect from the beggining to the end.
The song I downloaded from Youtube is a confession of admiration, secret jeaulousy, a wish of being and loving the other self. Enjoy!

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!
Marcadores:
heart of gold,
music from the 70's,

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
