Também conhecida como Igreja da Memória ou Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Livramento. Foi mandada construir por D. José I como forma de agradecimento por ter escapado a um atentado neste mesmo local, por causa de uns encontros proíbidos com D. Theresa Távora e Lorena, irmã do poderoso Marquês de Távora, que ficaria imortalizado (ou bastante mortalizado) num local um pouco mais abaixo, lá para os lados dos pasteís. Mas isso são outras histórias. Ou estórias. O que ficou, isso sim, foi o belo monumento, autoria de Giovanni Canto Bibiena. As obras iniciaram-se em 1758 mas só ficariam completas 30 anos mais tarde. A igreja é uma das mais belas de Lisboa, com a sua traça elegante e proporções graciosas. A cúpula dá alguma imponência ao conjunto e é um belo marco na paisagem da zona. Só podia ter sido feita por um italiano...

Gosto especialmente da forma como enfeita a tua janela.

I've nothing much to offer
There's nothing much to take
I'm an absolute beginner
And I'm absolutely sane
As long as we're together
The rest can go to hell
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
With eyes completely open
But nervous all the same

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Could laugh at the ocean
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

Nothing much could happen
Nothing we can't shake
Oh we're absolute beginners
With nothing much at stake
As long as you're still smiling
There's nothing more I need
I absolutely love you
But we're absolute beginners
But if my love is your love
We're certain to succeed

If our love song
Could fly over mountains
Sail over heartaches
Just like the films
There's no reason
To feel all the hard times
To lay down the hard lines
It's absolutely true

by David Bowie

Parabéns!

Nothing I am
Nothing I dream
Nothing is new
Nothing I think or believe in or say
Nothing is true

It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah, it used to be so easy...

But the last day of summer never felt so cold
The last day of summer never felt so old

Never felt so...

All that I have
All that I hold
All that is wrong
All that I feel for or trust in or love
All that is gone

It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah, it used to be so easy...

But the last day of summer never felt so cold
The last day of summer never felt so old
The last day of summer never felt so cold
Never felt so...

I am wishing you a well
Mind at peace within your cell
Covers up, I cast you off
I'll be watching as you breathe
I lie still, you move, I send
You,... off around the bend

I hold your head deep in my arms
My fingertips they close your eyes
Off you dream, my little child
There's a sun around the bend
There's a sun around the bend

All the evenings close like this
All these moments that I've missed
Please forgive me, won't you, dear?
Please forgive and let me share...
With... you... around the bend

You're an angel when you sleep
How I want your soul to keep
On and on around the bend

by Eddie Vedder

"I'm harking back, wishing I could still believe in my guardian angel, but I know I'm just wanting something that's gone for ever", dizia o nosso amigo Robert Smith acerca de uma das músicas dele. Ainda bem que às vezes temos a sorte de encontrar coisas que achavamos perdidas ou, pior ainda, que já pensávamos nunca encontrar. Ainda bem que às vezes as coisas correm bem.

Esta é para si Dona Pat, achei que ia gostar...

Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
When I see you sky as a kite
As high as I might
I can't get that high
And how you move
The way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try

And when I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips
I can't lick that far
But when you pout
The way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
An when I see you
happy as a girl
That swims in a world
of magic show
It makes me bite
my fingers through
To think I could've let you go

And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I say I'll keep on holding you
My arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away

Do do do do do do
Da da da da da da

And when I see you
kitten as a cat (ow)
Yeah as smitten as that (ow)
I can't get that small
The way you fur
The how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when I see you (do do do do)
happy as a girl
That lives in a world (do do do
do) of make-believe (do do do do)
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave

And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take I know
I'll keep on holding you
In arms so tight
They'll never let you go (never let you go)

E, como tal, decidi criar este blog. Se por acaso me esquecer ao menos fica escrito...
