Eddie Vedder - Ukulele songs

The album is very good (although the Ukulele sound can be a little tiresome after a while).

My City of Ruins - lyrics

There's a blood red circle
on a cold dark ground
and the rain is falling down
The church doors thrown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Now the sweet veils of mercy
drifting through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows
The empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees

My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!

Now there's tears on the pillow
darling where we slept
and you took my heart when you left
without your sweet kiss
my soul, is lost my friend
Now tell me how do I begin again?

My city's in ruin
My city's in ruin

Now with these hands
with these hands
oh with these hands
with these hands
I pray Lord
with these hands
pray for the strength Lord
with these hands
pray for the love Lord
with these hands
pray for the lost Lord
with these hands
pray for the strength Lord
with these hands
pray for the strength Lord
with these hands

I
Come on Come on Come on Come on
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!
Come on rise up!

Come on Rise up

Song by Bruce Springsteen, cover by Eddie Vedder

No Easy Way Out

Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out

We're not indestructible,
baby better get that straight
I think it's unbelievable
how you give into the hands of fate
Some things are worth fighting for
some feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance
I just wanna know why
There's no easy way out
there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out
givin' in can't be wrong

I don't wanna pacify you
I don't wanna drag you down
But I'm feelin' like a prisoner
like a stranger in a no name town
I see all the angry faces
afraid that could be you and me
Talkin' about what might have been
I'm thinkin' about what I used to be
There's no easy way out
there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out
givin' in can't be wrong

Baby, baby we can shed this skin
we can know how we feel inside
Instead of goin' down an endless road
not knowin' if we're dead or alive
Some things are worth fightin'
for some feelings never die
I'm not askin' for another chance
I just wanna know why
There's no easy way out
there's no shortcut home
There's no easy way out
givin' in giving in can't be wrong no
There's no easy way out
there's no shortcut home
...

Burning heart

Writer: PETERIK, JAMES M/SULLIVAN, FRANK

Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart

In the warrior's code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Know it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart

Pearl Jam 20 soundtrack

What a great way to start my 34th birthday! :)
Thanks Jo! Always "walk with me"! ;)

"
I feel your love
I feel your strong love
I feel the patience
Of unconditional love
I feel the strength
I feel your faith in me
I'll never let you down no matter what you do
If you just walk with me and let me walk with you
I'm on this journey
I don't wanna walk alone
Walk with me
"

Maria by Gen Verde

An amazing musical about Mary, mother of Jesus.
Highly recommended!

Because you loved me

Because You Loved Me
Songwriters: Diana Warren

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful, baby

You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through
Through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me, ooh, baby

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love, I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe, I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because
I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me, the tender wind that carried me
The light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Keep your dreams alive

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, You must fight just to keep them alive!

Survivor, Eye of the Tiger

The Fixer

When somethings dark, let me shed a little light on it
When somethings cold, let me put a little fire on it
If somethings old, I wanna put a bit of shine on it
When somethings gone, I wanna fight to get it back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When somethings broke, I wanna put a bit of fixin on it
When somethings bored, I wanna put a little exciting on it
If somethings low, I wanna put a little high on it
When somethings lost, I wanna fight to get it back again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When signals cross, I wanna put a little straight on it
If there's no love, I wanna try to love again

I’ll say your prayers, I’ll take your side
I'll find us a way to make light
I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and sing
What's saved could be one last lifetime

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, fight to get it back again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fight to get it back again, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Portuguese music. Very funny, in a peculiar way... In a word: "castiço"!

You can watch my favorite song. It's about a strong urge to do something important right now - the strong voice - but postponing it for lots of small and trivial reasons - the weak voice. Enjoy!

Madredeus & A Banda Cósmica - Metafonia

Madredeus & A Banda Cósmica - Metafonia



A new musical beginning for Madredeus without Teresa Salgueiro. An intriguing album. I still want to hear more of it.

This time there are drums, with a taste of African and Brazilian sounds.
The new voices are OK but can't replace Teresa.

Email communication breakdown?

Communication breakdown,
It's always the same,
I'm having a nervous breakdown,
Drive me insane!

in "Communication Breakdown" by Led Zeppelin



Do you get this feeling when you're handling your email? I know I did.

Then I decided to change the way I worked with email using a Google-inspired approach: "archive and use search instead of spending a lot of time storing the messages meticulously in specific folders".

My current email folders are the following:
Inbox
My Mail
Mailing Lists

That's right! Just three!
'Inbox' has the new arrivals that I haven't read or handled yet. 'My Mail' holds all my messages. 'Mailing Lists' holds messages not specifically for me but that I'm interested in keeping. Mail can be directly stowed in Mailing Lists using filters.

When you want to look up a specific mail message, just use your program's search capabilities to retrieve it quickly! (e.g. Thunderbird's search capabilities are very good).

But doesn't this mean that the 'My Mail' and 'Mailing Lists' keep growing indefinitely? Yes, it does. This is why we need one more time: archives.

My archives folders look like this:

Archives
|-My Mail Archive
|-2005
|-2006
|-2007
|-Mailing Lists Archive
|-2005
|-2006
|-2007

Archiving is easy and is done once a year.

For me this email scheme works great. Do you want to give it a try?
