Ai, Que Saudade D'Ocê é uma canção, composta em 1982 pelo
paraibano Vital Farias, que se tornou seu maior sucesso, tendo sido regravada
por vários artistas, especialmente os grandes expoentes da música nordestina,
como Elba Ramalho, Geraldo Azevedo, Fagner e Israel Filho, e mais recentemente Zeca
Baleiro, Lucy Alves e scracho.
José Ribamar Coelho Santos(Arari, 11 de abril de 1966),
mais conhecido como Zeca Baleiro, é um cantor, compositor, cronista, e músico brasileiro
de MPB. Transferiu-se para São Paulo onde lançou sua carreira. Zeca canta, toca
violão e já teve suas composições interpretadas por Simone, Gal Costa, Elba
Ramalho, Vange Milliet, Adriana Maciel, Luíza Possi, Rita Ribeiro, Renato Braz e
Claudia Leitte. Em 2011, lançou um livro de crônicas intitulado Bala na
agulha. Atualmente, além da carreira de músico, é colunista mensal da revista
Isto É.
O nome José de Ribamar é uma homenagem a São José de
Ribamar, santo maranhense da cidade de São Luís de ribamar no estado do
maranhão. O apelido - Baleiro - vem do fato de Zeca consumir balas entre as
aulas, durante o curso de Agronomia. É o que pode ser percebido nas próprias
palavras do Zeca: "Sempre fui um grande consumidor de doces, balas e toda
sorte de guloseimas. Quando ingressei na universidade, entre uma aula e outra,
saboreava minhas balas. Quando alguém desejava comer uma, vinha até mim. Daí
para começarem a me chamar de baleiro foi um passo. Confesso que a princípio
aquilo não soava bem aos meus ouvidos." Antes de dedicar-se exclusivamente
à música, chegou, inclusive, a abrir uma loja de balas, tortas e doces
caseiros.
Não se admire se um dia
Um beija-flor invadir
A porta da tua casa
Te der um beijo e partir
Fui eu que mandei o beijo
Que é pra matar meu desejo
Faz tempo que eu não te vejo
Ai que saudade d'ocê!
Se um dia ocê se lembrar
Escreva uma carta pra mim
Bote logo no correio
Com frases dizendo assim
Faz tempo que não te vejo
Quero matar meu desejo
Te mando um monte de beijo
Ai que saudade sem fim
E se quiser recordar
Aquele nosso namoro
Quando eu ia viajar
Você caía no choro
Eu chorando pela estrada
Mas o que posso fazer
Trabalhar é minha sina
Eu gosto mesmo é d'ocê.

Scorpions are a German rock
band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception,
its musical style has ranged from hard rock to heavy metal. The lineup from
1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus
Meine(vocals), Rudolf Schenker(rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs(lead guitar), Francis
Buchholz(bass), and Herman Rarebell(drums). The band's only continuous member
has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio
albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1979, and bassist Paweł
Mąciwoda
and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.
During the mid-1970s, with
guitarist Uli Jon Roth part of the line-up, the music of the Scorpions was
defined as hard rock. After the departure of Roth in 1978 and short-lived
reunion with Schenker's brother Michael, Matthias Jabs joined and, following
the guidance of producer Dieter Dierks, the Scorpions changed their sound
towards hard rock/heavy metal, mixed with rock power ballads. Throughout the
1980s the group received positive reviews and critical acclaim from music
critics, and experienced commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism(1980),
Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting(1984), the live recording World Wide Live(1985),
Savage Amusement(1988) and Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads(1989), which is their
best-selling compilation album.
Scorpions' eleventh studio
álbum Crazy World(1990) was also well-received, and included the song "Wind
of Change",a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in
the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is one of
the best-selling singles in the world with over fourteen million copies sold. Scorpions
have sold over 110 million records in total. They have released 18 studio
albums, 27 compilation albums and 74 singles. Six of their singles have reached number one on
the charts in different countries. Their albums, singles,
compilations and video releases have reached gold, platinum and multi-platinum
status 200 times in different countries.
Rolling Stone described
the Scorpions as "the heroes of heavy metal", and MTV called them
"Ambassadors of Rock". The band has influenced a number of acts such
as Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Skid
Row, Cinderella, Doro, Helloween, Hanoi Rocks, and Yngwie Malmsteen. The
Scorpions were ranked number 46 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard
Rock programme, with "Rock You Like a Hurricane" at number 18 on
VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. "Still Loving You"
ranked 22nd place among the greatest ballads. They have received prestigious
awards such as three World Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Rock wall, and
a presence in the permanent exhibition of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In
2015 the group celebrated its 50th anniversary.
Vocalist Klaus Meine, who
wrote and composed "Wind of Change", was inspired by the band's first
visit to the USSR in 1989 where they took part in big "Music Peace
Festival".
Manager Doc McGhee recalled, "The second night
that we played in Moscow, we were in the bus coming back from the gig, and
Klaus was whistling 'Wind of Change'. He had this idea in his head. And then
the next day he pretty much had the whole song written. The actual basis of the
song."
"Wind of Change" was released as the album's
third single in 1991.
"Wind of Change"
is a power ballad by the West German rock band Scorpions, recorded for their
eleventh studio album, Crazy World(1990). The song was composed and written by
the band's lead Singer Klaus Meine and produced by Keith Olsen and the band.
The lyrics were composed by Meine during the band's visit to the USSR at the
height of perestroika, when the enmity between the communist and capitalist
blocs subsided concurrently with the promulgation of large-scale socioeconomic
reforms in the USSR.
"Wind of Change"
was released as the album's third single in January 1991 and became a worldwide
hit, just after the failed coup that would eventually lead to the collapse of
the Soviet Union. The
song topped the charts in Germany and across Europe while peaking at number
four in the United States on August 31, 1991, and at number two in the United
Kingdom. It later appeared on the band's 1995 live álbum Live
Bites, their 2000 album with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Moment of Glory,
and on their 2001 unplugged album Acoustica. The band also recorded a Russian-language
version of the song, under the title "Ветерперемен" ("Veter
Peremen")and a Spanish version called "Vientos de Cambio".
With estimated sales of 14
million copies sold worldwide, "Wind of Change" is one of the best-selling
singles of all time. It holds the record for the best-selling single by a
German artist. The band presented a gold record and $70,000 of royalties from
the single to Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991.
The lyrics celebrate glasnost
in the Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, and speaks of hope at a time when
tense conditions had arisen due to the fall of Communist-run governments among Eastern
Bloc nations beginning in 1989.
The Scorpions were
inspired to write the song after performing at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in
August 1989, and the opening lines refer to the city's landmarks:
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of
change
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
The world is closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change
The wind of change
Blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell
For peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change.

Where is the sun?
You're numb and dumb
Please I need the seeds of change
It’s wearing a new dream
It's ripping at the seams
I've come undone
And there is one place left to run and that is
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let’s go
I've come so far and gone so low
I've fallen in decay
Always try to find a way out and up to better days
Are waiting for me
And I will come dressed up in dreams
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let’s go
I won't give up at all
I want the freedom to dream the impossible
I will make it real.

"Don't Let the Sun Go
Down on Me" is a song written by English Singer Elton John and his
lyricist Bernie Taupin. It was originally recorded in 1974 by Elton John for
his studio álbum Caribou and was released as a single that peaked at number two
on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached number 16 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song found further success in 1991 in a live cover version recorded as a
duet between John and George Michael, which reached number one in the UK and
US.
Ladies & Gentlemen:
The Best of George Michael is a greatest hits album by George Michael, released
on 9 November 1998.
The collection of 28 songs (29 songs are included on the
European and Australian release) are separated into two halves, with each CD of
the double set containing music of a particular theme and mood. The first CD,
titled "For the Heart", predominantly contains Michael's hit ballads,
while the second CD, "For the Feet", comprises mostly his popular
dance tunes.
Ladies & Gentlemen is
notable for containing a large number of compilation tracks and duets that have
not previously appeared on a George Michael album, including his US and UK
number-one duet with Aretha Franklin, "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)",
previously available on Franklin's 1986 album Aretha; "Desafinado",
the duet in Portuguese with Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto; and the Elton John
duet "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", from John's 1993 album Duets.
Ladies & Gentlemen was
released by Sony Music Entertainment as a condition of Michael severing his
contractual ties with the label amid a great deal of acrimony and publicity
prior to the release of Older in 1996. However, singles from Older do appear on this
compilation. Michael would later return to Sony to release his 2004
album Patience.
After his death in
December 2016, it was revealed by Michael's friend Geri Halliwell on The One
Show that all of the British profits from the album went to the charity Terrence
Higgins Trust.
George Michael(born Georgios
Kyriacos Panayiotou; 25 June 1963 – 25 December 2016) was an English singer,
songwriter, record producer, and philanthropist who rose to fame as a member of
the music duo Wham! and later embarked on a solo career. Michael sold over 80
million records worldwide making him one of the best-selling music artists of
all time. He achieved seven number one songs on the UK Singles Chart and eight
number one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. He was widely known for his
success in the 1980s and 1990s, including Wham! singles such as "Wake Me
Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas" and solo singles such
as "Careless Whisper" and "Faith".
Michael formed the duo Wham! With Andrew
Ridgeley in 1981. The band's first two albums, Fantastic(1983) and Make It Big(1984),
reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Michael's
first solo single "Careless Whisper" reached number one in over 20
countries, including the UK and US. Michael's debut solo album, Faith, was
released in 1987, topping the UK Albums Chart and staying at number one on
the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks. Four singles from the
album--"Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try",
and "Monkey"--reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Faith was
named Album of the Year at the 31st Grammy Awards. Three years after the
release of Faith, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1(1990) was released; that
album included the Billboard Hot 100 number one "Praying for Time".
"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", a 1991 duet with Elton John, was
also a transatlantic number one.
Michael, Who came out as gay
in 1998, was an active LGBT rights campaigner and HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser. Michael's personal life and legal
troubles made headlines during the late 1990s and 2000s, as he was arrested for
public lewdness in 1998 and was arrested for multiple drug-related offenses
after that time. The 2005 documentary A Different Story covered
his career and personal life. Michael's first tour since 1991, the 25 Live tour,
spanned three tours over the course of three years; 2006, 2007, and 2008. Four
years later, he performed his final concert at London's Earls Court in 2012. In
the early hours of 25 December 2016, Michael was found dead at his home in Goring-on-Thames,
Oxfordshire aged 53. A coroner's report attributed his death to natural causes.
Michael won various music
awards including two Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, three American Music
Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards and six Ivor Novello Awards. In 2004, the Radio
Academy named Michael the most played artist on British radio during the period
1984–2004. In 2008, he was ranked 40th on Billboard's list of the Greatest Hot
100 Artists of All Time.
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
It's much too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
Don't let the Sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I
see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the Sun going down on me
I can't find, oh the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you
harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
Don't let the Sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I
see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the Sun going down on me.
