beLIEve

lie, believe, a word can be a part of another one, maybe the two words are always together like siameses twins, perhaps when I lie I want the other person believes in me
lie implies secrets, somethings that we don't want to tell
believe is about trust, something we want to say
strange combination of letters, I often make mistakes chosing words, and sometimes I ended up messing it up, a melody would be a better election than the wrong words


"The Fly" talks about secrets, friendship, trust, faith, love
the song is one of my favourites from U2, it has a different sound from they had done until that time, it is a change, an interesting change.
here we can see the evolution of the song, first the original video, which gave the direction for the Zoo Tv tour

The Fly - Original Video - 1991




Here is the live version from Sydney, an amazing performance, and it's the version of the random words, white words, red words, and we can see the mix between lie and believe : beLIEve

The Fly - Live From ZooTV Sydney - 1993




In my opinion, this is the best version I have heard of the song, the intro is incredible, and I think is also the best filmed

The Fly - Live Boston - 2001




In Sao Paulo The Edge had problems with his guitar, so Bono started to improvise with the notes of David Bowie's Jean Genie, after that he asks "where is the fly?"

Everybody Knows

There are many things that we don´t know, somethings we know from the beginning, there are things that we really want to know, things that could make us happier, or we really want to know something about someone and we are afraid to ask, sometimes we ask and we find an answer that we don´t want to know, how could I know that I am saying the right words? uncertainty is perhaps the best thing we can know.

Someone send me the song originally written by Leonard Cohen called “Everybody Knows”, but I remember well the version made by Concrete Blonde, the group is led by Johnette Napolitano, a great singer who gives her special feeling in this song.

4 am song

Well, Pink didn't win on the last MTV Video Music awards, but if there was a category called "Best song to hear at 4 am", without any doubt "Sober" would be the winner

Roger Waters was right

I really didn't know who Vera Lynn was, the first time I heard about her was in the song called "Vera" from the 1979 album "The Wall" from the group Pink Floyd, so later I could know that she was a singer from 1940's, the PF song is short and it goes like this

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do ?



well today we know what has become of her, Vera Lynn has entered in the English album charts with her album called "We'll Meet Again - The Very Best of Vera Lynn", this week ending Sept. 5th her album is in the position 20, well, here is the news, and she talks about this experience and the truth that we would meet again some sunny day

I Can't Drive 55

In fact, I can't drive, I sold my car, now I just have to walk

pale shelter

I have heard many times "there is no lie in asking" or something like that, there are times when we need something from someone, and that person is incapable to give it, and we receive cold hands or indifference or we receive a little bit of what we expect, insecurity, waiting, illusion, so we ask for more and more


Tears For Fears - Pale Shelter / Lyrics



.

cry out loud if you want, but with style

I was walking down the street looking the ads and windows of the stores and in a barber shop I saw a man crying, a few blocks away in a mail office I saw a girl crying, near the gas station I saw a woman crying, I know that people are fragile sometimes, but I was wondering why those people were crying, some days later walking by the same streets I saw the same people crying, anyway it's good to cry for some time for something or someone, but it's out of reason crying always for the same reason, there is a time to move on, after all we have recieved the face to smile


Coldplay - God Put A smile Upon Your Face / Lyrics
