I woke up early this morning 'round 4 a.m.
With the moon shining bright
As headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head
And tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake

Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's okay
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
(I guess I'm)
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist

It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
But don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories, I don't need 'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me

And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact, I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

Oh, oh
And you're gonna think of me, mmm yeah

Ooh, stop me baby
Someday
Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Darlin, think of me
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Baby, darlin', no, oh, oh
Doo, doo, doo, oh, oh!

She walks to school with the lunch
She packed
Nobody knows what she's
Holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress
She wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen
And lace

The teacher wonders but she
Doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain
Behind the mask
Bearing the burden
Of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was
Never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle
Of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn
Out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands
Of fate
When morning comes
It'll be too late

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel.

I been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And drank 'til I was thirsty again
We went searchin', through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo
And Benny Goodman's corset and pen
Well, okay, I made this up
I promised you I'd never give up

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well, who hasn't been there before?
I come 'round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you French toast again
Well, okay, I still get stoned
I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

We've been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho and played for mosquitoes
And everywhere in between
Well, okay, we get along
So what if right now, everything's wrong?

If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
If it makes you happy
It can't be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?

El problema no fue hallarte
El problema es olvidarte
El problema no es tu ausencia
El problema es que te espero

El problema no es problema
El problema es que me duele
El problema no es que mientas
El problema es que te creo

El problema no es que juegues
El problema es que es conmigo
Si me gustaste por ser libre
¿Quién soy yo para cambiarte?

Si me quedé queriendo solo
¿Cómo hacer para obligarte?
El problema no es quererte
Es que tú no sientas lo mismo

¿Y cómo deshacerme de ti si no te tengo?
¿Cómo alejarme de ti si estás tan lejos?
¿Cómo encontrarle una pestaña a lo que nunca tuvo ojos?
¿Cómo encontrarle plataformas a lo que siempre fue un barranco?
¿Cómo encontrar en la alacena los besos que no me diste?

¿Y cómo deshacerme de ti si no te tengo?
¿Cómo alejarme de ti si estás tan lejos?

El problema no es el daño
El problema son las huellas

ALBUM: SOMETHING GOOD
GENRE: SOUNDTRACK
LABEL: 20TH CENTURY STUDIOS
YEAR: 1965
 
     The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical drama film produced and directed by Robert Wise, and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr, and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical, composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on the 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian postulant who, in 1938, is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children.
       Filming took place from March to September 1964 in Los Angeles and Salzburg. The Sound of Music was released on March 2, 1965, in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow theatrical release. Although initial critical response to the film was mixed, it was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office film after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time—surpassing Gone with the Wind—and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283 million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286 million.
       The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Wise's second pair of both awards, the first being from the 1961 film West Side Story. The film also received two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film Institute(AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American film of all time, and the fourth greatest film musical. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
 
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
 
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
 
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
 
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something
Something good.

          Sandy Leah Lima(Campinas, 28 de janeiro de 1983) é uma cantora, compositora e atriz brasileira. Durante os primeiros anos da infância, ela e seu irmão Junior Lima formaram uma dupla vocal. Sandy & Junior ganharam notoriedade após uma apresentação no programa Som Brasil, em 1989, que lhes rendeu um contrato com a PolyGram. Depois de alcançarem o sucesso como cantores mirins, os irmãos atingiram o auge comercial de sua carreira na adolescência: os álbuns Era Uma Vez... Ao Vivo(1998), As Quatro Estações(1999), Quatro Estações: O Show(2000) e Sandy & Junior(2001) venderam mais de um milhão de cópias cada, sendo que os três primeiros estão entre os álbuns mais vendidos de todos os tempos no Brasil. Os álbuns seguintes viram Sandy e Junior assumindo cada vez mais o controle criativo de seus projetos. A dupla se desfez em 2007, com o lançamento do registro ao vivo Acústico MTV. Em 2019, eles se reuniram para uma turnê que se tornou um sucesso comercial e de crítica. O nome dos irmãos também se tornou uma forte marca, com mais de 300 produtos licenciados que, até 2004, movimentaram mais de 300 milhões de reais.
        Após o fim da dupla em dezembro de 2007, Sandy passou os dois anos seguintes concentrando seus esforços na produção de sua estreia na carreira solo. Além disso, ela dedicou-se à sua vida pessoal. Em 2008, Sandy concluiu sua graduação em Letras pela Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas(PUC) e se casou com o músico Lucas Lima, com quem tem um filho, nascido em junho de 2014. Em 2010, ela lançou seu álbum de estreia solo, Manuscrito, que foi precedido pelo single "Pés Cansados" e certificado com platina pela Pro-Música Brasil(PMB). A turnê do álbum Manuscrito deu origem ao seu primeiro registro ao vivo, Manuscrito Ao Vivo(2011). Segundo álbum de estúdio da cantora, Sim(2013) produziu três singles e alcançou a nona posição no Brasil. Em 2016, Sandy lançou seu segundo álbum ao vivo, Meu Canto, que teve como carro-chefe a canção "Me Espera" e atingiu o topo da parada de DVDs da PMB.

O amor é um ato revolucionário
Quem vive amando, dando amor e sendo amado
Colhendo o que lhe é oferecido
E a si mesmo se coloca ofertado
Se este está nu, veste o manto sagrado
Que ao que ama, o infinito faz vestido
De Deus e os deuses, sim, é o mais querido
Mesmo no escuro, seu sentir é iluminado
 
O amor é um ato revolucionário
Por estados e religiões temido
Quem pelo amor é pertencido
A si governa e só a ele é confessado
Quem ama, ao andar cria sua estrada
Em seu voo, vê as planícies prazerosas
E no cume das montanhas alterosas
Toca em gozo a rosa viva imaculada
 
Não será jamais pelo mal tocado
Seu eu profundo não é nunca profanado
Só mesmo o tolo nega do amor o apostolado
E a seus apóstolos diz que vivem em pecado
 
O amor é um ato revolucionário
A besta humana torna em anjo apascentado
Em amoroso afia o espírito mais irado
O corpo e a alma, um no outro, todo e tudo
Quem ama fala ao mundo mesmo mudo
Seu pulso é a pulsação do universo em dança
Nas inquietações da guerra insana, a paz alcança
Quem traz a lança do amor e seu escudo
 
Não será jamais pelo mal tocado
Seu eu profundo não é nunca profanado
Só mesmo o tolo nega do amor o apostolado
E a seus apóstolos diz que vivem em pecado
 
Não será jamais pelo mal tocado
Seu eu profundo não é nunca profanado
Só mesmo o tolo nega do amor o apostolado
E a seus apóstolos diz que vivem em pecado
 

O amor é um ato revolucionário.

PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON

PETER, PAUL & MARY
SONGWRITERS: ROBIN SPIELBERG; LEONARD LIPTON & PETER YARROW
COUNTRY: U, S. A.
ALBUM: MOVING
LABEL: WARNER RECORDS
GENRE: FOLK
YEAR: 1963
 
       Peter, Paul and Mary was an American folk group formed in New York City in 1961 during the American folk music revival phenomenon. The trio consisted of tenor Peter Yarrow, baritone Paul Stookey, and contralto Mary Travers. The group's repertoire included songs written by Yarrow and Stookey, early songs by Bob Dylan, and covers of other folk musicians. They were enormously successful in the early- and mid-1960s, with their debut album topping the charts for weeks, and helped popularize the folk music revival. After the death of Travers in 2009, Yarrow and Stookey continued to perform as a duo under their individual names.
        Mary Travers said she was influenced by Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and the Weavers. In the documentary Peter, Paul & Mary: Carry It On — A Musical Legacy, members of the Weavers discuss how Peter, Paul and Mary took over the torch of the social commentary of folk music in the 1960s.
       The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. Peter, Paul and Mary received the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2006.
         Moving is the second album by the American folk music trio Peter, Paul & Mary, released in January 1963. The third single, "Puff, the Magic Dragon," was a huge hit and a defining song for the trio, reaching #2 on the Hot 100, #1 on the Easy Listening, and #10 on the R&B Charts.
       The lead-off single, "Big Boat," failed to chart substantially, only staying on the Top 100 for two weeks, reaching #93. Cash Box described it as "an exciting, fast moving folk opus." The second single, "Settle Down (Goin' Down That Highway)," did slightly better, peaking at #56 on the Pop charts during a 6-week run; however, it did become an easy listening hit at #14.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings, and sealing wax, and other fancy stuff
 
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
 
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name
 
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
 
A dragon lives forever, but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings make way for other toys
One gray night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff, that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
 
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his lifelong friend, Puff could not be brave
So Puff, that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave
 
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist, in a land called Honah Lee.
