A descoberta do dia

Às vezes, temos de ver as coisas com os nossos olhos, ouvir por nós e experimentar sentidos que nos recusámos a conhecer ou que simplesmente nos passam ao lado, ignoramos, deixamos de lado porque estamos ocupados com alguma coisa que nunca vale a pena. Esta manhã e esta noite tive a oportunidade de conhecer Sarah Bettens. Depois de alguma relutância em conhecer os K’s Choice porque havia sempre qualquer coisa mais excitante para ouvir, tenho de me render à voz única desta cantora belga. O que me fez despertar foi a actuação dela no Paradise Garage e esta letra…

"Almost Happy"

If I could look beyond your face
And photograph your hidden place
Would I find you smiling in the picture
I don't know what you want

Because you don't know,
So what's the point of asking
You're almost happy
Almost content

But your head hurts
Far too many ways to go
We learn so much but never know
Where to look

Or when we should stop looking
I can love the whole of you.
The poetry I stole from you
And hide inside my stomach

You're almost happy
Almost content
But your head hurts

It's easy to get lost in you
And fall asleep inside of you
I want to return to you
A reason to be here

No I don't know what you want
And you don't know
So what's the point of asking
You're almost happy
