Música para recordar!

Sempre adorei ambas versões desta música, tanto a da Patti Smith, a original escrita em parceria com o Bruce Springsteen, como a da Natalie Merchant, enquanto vocalista dos 10.000 Maniacs.

Hoje tive o desejo de a recordar, há sempre músicas que nos aconchegam a alma, que nos trazem alento, esta é, sem dúvida, uma delas.

                                 Patti Smith - Because the Night

take me now baby here as I am
pull me close, try and understand
desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
love is a banquet on which we feed

come on now try and understand
the way I feel when I'm in your hands
take my hand come undercover
they can't hurt you now,
can't hurt you now, can't hurt you now
because the night belongs to lovers
because the night belongs to lust
because the night belongs to lovers
because the night belongs to us

have I doubt when I'm alone
love is a ring, the telephone
love is an angel disguised as lust
here in our bed until the morning comes
come on now try and understand
the way I feel under your command
take my hand as the sun descends
they can't touch you now,
can't touch you now, can't touch you now
because the night belongs to lovers ...

with love we sleep
with doubt the vicious circle
turn and burns
without you I cannot live
forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it's time, too real to feel
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
because the night belongs to lovers ...

Esta dedico a X., uma amiga de longa data. Faz 2 anos que a reencontrei, como por magia, na Praia da Manta Rota, e o mais incrível é que, na altura, não me parecia que tempo algum tivesse passado, de repente voltei a ter 15 anos. 

Vem-me à memória uma frase que ouvi num filme, "People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.", mais tarde descobri que acabava da seguinte maneira, "When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person", this is so true!!!!
