Jack Johnson @ Pavilhão Atlantico (Lisboa) 26/06/2008

Posted by pedronoo on June 27, 2008

Mais um FENOMENAL concerto este ano :)

Para começar e como tudo tem um principio, ou como diria uma senhora antes de começar jack johnson “entras pela porta da entrada” , ha que rumar atras no tempo 2 anos para o grande concerto que este senhor deu na mesma sala.(é a ultima vez que toco no assunto , prometo lol) 

Na altura fiquei fascinado com o concerto e por isso quando soube que o tio jack(como gosto de lhe chamar) voltaria a portugal , a minha presença era mais que obrigatoria , apesar de reconhecer que o ultimo album dele nao estar tao bom como o anterior “In Between Dreams” , mas  la fui :) (tanto que quando comprei o bilhete ainda nem o album tinha saido lol)

Apesar de o pavilhao atlantico estar a “meio-gas” (o anterior esgotou) e com um novo album “estranho” para minha grande surpresa este concerto revelou-se 1000 x melhor que á 2 anos atras!!
Maior duração no concerto ( ontem foram cerca de 2 horas e 10 minutos ) , o palco era bem mais giro com 6 ecrans gigantes , enfim…mas tudo com a simplicidade que quem conheça jack johnson espera ver :)
As musicas que queria ouvir ele tocou-as todas (mesmo a mudfootball que a uma certa altura pensei que ele ja nao ia tocar) enfim…nao ha palavras. é uma festa com momentos pensativos e que da para voar para bem longe dali (angel , constellations , no other way , etc) ate á festa total(Bubble Toes , Flake , Sitting Waiting Wishing , Good People , Hope , If I Had Eyes , etc)

Enfim um concerto a todos os niveis inesquecivel!!! e tio jack volta ca rapido que a gente ja tem saudades :)

Aqui fica a setlist de ontem

Never Know
Flake
Monsoon
Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Blending Light

Posted by pedronoo on June 23, 2008

 

Ontem á noite deu-me para olhar para a luz do meu candeeiro na minha secretaria e este poema veio-me a cabeça …

Blending Light

dawn´s falling down
night rising outside
the wind goes to sleep
inside an unknown cloud

a light in a dark place
a shadow speaking silently
inside an hollow object
waiting to be release

full of power
there she stands
watching over others
giving away whatever she cans so this world becomes a better place

she escaped…to an outside world
but everything is so dark
as her vision she lost
and all she has is her own light

giving small steps she walks
on a world she thought was long gone
is every direction she looks
everything just lights up

amazed…surprised…she stands
trying to understand this strange phenom
darkness , sadness , grey
given birth to joy  ,  happiness and colours

so she lays down in a new born
valley of green grass , roses and waterfalls
closes her eyes and smiles
feeling the wind running through her face

a smile is formed
as a tear of joy runs breaks free from her eyes
she finally understood
why everything changed

darkness can surround u
but there´s always an inner light
inside us to guide us
through our dark times

to in the end
let us see
just how colourfull
life can really be

Pawns In War

Posted by pedronoo on June 19, 2008

PAWNS IN WAR

ALONE IN THE DARK SHE WAITS
FOR HER MAN TO RETURN FROM HELL
THIS ISN´T THEIR WAR
BUT THEY ARE FIGHTING AS IF IT WAS

LIKE A BROKEN CASTLE
HE FELL INTO THE SAND
OF A PLACE HE NEVER THOUGHT OF GOING
AND NO ONE IS THERE TO PICK HIM UP NOW

BUT IN HIS LAST MEMORY
BEFORE THE PAIN SEALS HIS EYES
THERE THEY WERE
WITH BEAUTIFUL SMILES BOTH

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO PAY?
THE WAR EXPLODED RIGHT IN THEIR FACES
THEY NEVER ASKED FOR IT
ITS JUST A DUTY THEY WERE TOLD

GLUED to the TV ALL DAY LONG
THE WORDS STOPPED
COMING FOR SOME WEEKS NOW
AND HER HEART SUFFOCATES HER SOUL

SHE HUGS THEIR DAUGHTER
AND TRIES IN VAIN TO CONVINCE
BOTH OF THEM
THAT DADDY IS JUST FAR AWAY

AND THE FATEFUL DAY ARRIVED
THE CLOUDS WERE JUST TOO DARK
LIKE THEY WERE SPREADING THE BAD NEWS
EVEN BEFORE THEY ARRIVED

SHE KNEW IT IN HER HEART
AND AS SHE SITS
IN THE DARK ONCE AGAIN
ONLY THOUGHT COMES TO MIND

WHY ARE THE LEADERS STILL
STANDING IN HIDING ?
MAYBE WE ARE JUST PAWNS
IN A BIGGER PLAN

Pearl Jam – Down

Posted by pedronoo on June 17, 2008

Adoro esta musica :) e para nao variar grande letra :)

Down.
Fall by the wayside… no getting out…
Down.
Cry me a river… dried up and dammed.
The names can be changed… but the place is still the same.
I am loaded. Told that all’s for naught. Holds me down.

Rise. Life is in motion. I’m stuck in line.
Oh rise. You can’t be neutral on a moving train.
One day… the symptoms fade. Think I’ll throw these pills away.
And if hope could grow from dirt like me. It can be done.

Won’t let the light escape from me.
Won’t let the darkness swallow me.

The Road To The Unknown

Posted by pedronoo on June 14, 2008

No meio de uma conversa seria…so eu para me lembrar de titulos de poemas… (sou muita estranho :X)

aqui fica

The Road To The Unknown

i woke up one day
another common day
when the sun rises
and the moon falls down

a frozen silence takes me
makes me run away
just to find myself alone
in an unknown road

i never saw this place before
but then again
i never let myself walk this road
before it was just easier to give up

but i changed…
im willing to fight
for what i want
for who i desire

im just a simple man , no shield
walking barefoot , with my heart in hands
hoping i can find the blood
to my heart once again

so i walk from now on
in the road of the unknown
not sure what i´ll find on the way
but secretly hoping

that by the end
of this road
the angel i let slip through my fingertips
in the past is there

Exorcising Demons

Posted by pedronoo on June 11, 2008

Im Finally Free After So Many Years… :)

Wrote this today around 8.30/9.00 am at work

Exorcising Demons

inside my dominions
locked forever i was
holding back
arrested by my own mind

opened my eyes one day
just to see a different kind of life
rebooting is not easy
and sometimes not everything is cleared away

like a spy u standed grounded
demons i thought i had exorcised
waiting for the moment to strike once again
and there u were

but this time
like an army standing grounded
i saw what u did all this time
and exorcised u from me forever

im not the soul i used to be
learned , grown and became stable
stable enough to build a defense
against all of u

darkness blocked me long enough
i was willing to change
for a better end
it took time but i changed

so u came
out of the shadows of my soul
to spread what u kept on spreading
all these years
wanting to bring down this soul again

but i shot u down
the moment u showed your claws
enough is enough
and i will never subjugated by u ever again

im not alone
and maybe i never was
but u made me see a world of solitude
just to make wake up and see the real world

i exorcised my last demon
my last ghost of a life that once was mine
i got a clear path in front of me
to where it will lead i dont know

but im willing to find out
cause this new me is a newborn soul
that is finally free
from all the chains that once locked me inside myself

Alanis Morissette – Head Over Feet

Posted by pedronoo on June 8, 2008

I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I’m a princess
I’m not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You’re so much braver than I gave you credit for
That’s not lip service

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault

You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You’re the best listener that I’ve ever met
You’re my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I’ve never felt this healthy before
I’ve never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You’ve already won me over in spite of me
And don’t be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don’t be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn’t help it
It’s all your fault
