Trilhas sonoras

Adoro escrever posts que não são nada mais do que a letra de uma música. Como uma trilha sonora. Adoro trilhas sonoras. Acho que a vida pode ser totalmente marcada por canções. Tenho inclusive por hábito gravar e dar CDs de presente para as pessoas com músicas que eu acredite que vão marcar ou já marcaram a vida delas e, muitas vezes, as nossas. Pode soar pretensioso, mas gosta da idéia de saber que alguém estava escutando um CD “meu” num momento importante, seja de alegria, tristeza ou saudade. Nessas horas que as trilhas sonoras são fundamentais. Para dar o tom o dizer coisas que muitas vezes são inexprimíveis.

Ironic
Alanis Morissette

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

(chorus)
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play it Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think

(chorus)
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way
of sneaking up on you when you think everything's okay
and everything's going right
And life has a funny way
of helping you out when you think everything's gone
wrong and everthing blows up in your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

(repeat chorus)

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
