Músicas Especiais XII

É uma das mais belas canções de amor que ouvi nos últimos tempos. Ouvi-a pela primeira vez no dia 18 de Dezembro de 2003 no Indiegente e recordo-me que fiquei absolutamente hipnotizada por aqueles 7 minutos e 55 segundos de Paraíso. Refiro-me, de novo (cf. dia 28/3), à lindíssima Transatlanticism dos Death Cab for Cutie.

The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
when the water filled in every hole
and thousands upon thousands made an ocean making islands
where no islands should go (oh no)
Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythms of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
have been silenced forevermore
and the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row
it seems farther than ever before (oh no)
I need you so much closer

So come on
Come on
