Hey ya...

Let's all say it, HEY YA...



I wander the internet as I wander in life and find these pieces of truth from the collective wisdom of masses... It is funny how wise the masses can be at times...

Helmsman - Homem do leme

Navigating my thoughts away in the vastness of youtube songs, I had to share this one, a favorit of mine from time to time it reflects a lot of me, or what I think at times... The problem is it is in portuguese so here goes a shoot at translation hope you like it :)



Alone in the night
A ship sails where to?
A light in the dark shines straight
overshadows all others.

And more than a wave, more than a tide...
They tried to arrest him, impose him a faith...
But, drifting at ease, breaking the sorrow ("Saudade" does realy translate)...
goes the one that fears nothing any more, goes the helmsman...

And a will to laugh, is born for the deepest of our being...
And a will to go, depart and run across the world,
life is always lost...

In the depth of the sea
lie the others, the ones who remained there.
In grey days
eternal rest they found there.

And more than a wave, more than a tide...
They tried to arrest him, impose him a faith...
But, drifting at ease, breaking the sorrow ("Saudade" does realy translate)...
goes the one that fears nothing any more, goes the helmsman...

And a will to laugh, is born for the deepest of our being...
And a will to go, depart and run across the world,
life is always lost...

In the depth of the horizon
a murmur blow, where does it go?
In the depth of time
the future escapes, and it is too late...

And a will to laugh, is born for the deepest of our being...
And a will to go, depart and run across the world,
life is always lost...

Some food for thought...

Or thoughts as food... Here I am another day of soundtrack navigation and I must say I had a weird and very tangled path to get to where I am today... I see it crystal clear today, the funny thing is I could see the sliding doors moments when they where occurring which makes my life a mix of my decision and a set of circumstances, well so what? So is everybody else's... Today I will do one of those things that I love to do, which is to speak but not really say anything, and yet saying it all... I can see now as I could see then the impact of my decisions... I am a moral men, even though I play around and joke a lot about things, my decision have always been guided by a very strict moral code, funny enough I did do got it from anywhere in particular, it is unlike anyone else (or so I like to think, yes a bit arrogant I know) and yet it has forced me to make decision against my better judgement based on what I wanted at a given time... Time is funny, it does put things in perspective, not that I did not see the perspective of the impact of what I did then, but simply I could not see where I would be because of it... It is easy to see doors closing, things evolving when you know them... The hard part is to try and start from scratch new paths in life... It is the roads that are not yet built for you to take them... The real unknown... Funny I divert my words to get away from the point of the past and bring them to the point of the present... In fact I don't want to speak of the present, the past is so much more nostalgic and provides me such a weird feeling of comfort to accept who I am, a person that has brought me to where I am today... The moral compass for its good and bad has provided me with a path which has marked me deeply and provides me with memories of things, events and decisions that even though they are not shared, I know for me that I did what I should have and the rest was just circumstances which provided the filling of the blank possibilities...

An interesting medley of a couple of my favorite Adele songs :)

Just found it on my through the night navigations, I have come across this guy with other covers it is quite good... Enjoy...
