Existo

Ainda existo. No momento, é o máximo que posso dizer.

Agradeço a todas as cerca de 6 pessoas que têm comentado sobre o blog, aqui ou no orkut. Só devo lembrar que se me elogiar sem se identificar eu vou achar que foi a minha mãe.

Jamais consegui decifrar esta música, aliás, conhecidíssima. Mas a impressão que tenho desde a primeira vez que a ouvi é que ela tematiza o suicidio. Anyway, esta fase do Bowie é fabulosa!

Space Oddity, por David Bowie

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may God's love be with you

Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

His is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows"
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....
"Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."
