Ay Rodrigo!
Rodrigo Amarante con este Álbum me termino de compran el corazón, le vengo siguiendo el rastro desde que lo conocí con la agrupación Little Joy, ahora con este trabajo en solitario, no bajo la calidad, si no mas bien que por el contrario creo un álbum que abarca diferentes emociones y ritmos que van desde canciones como con la cual comienza el álbum, Nada en vao, con aire melancólico y ritmos que recuerdan a la música de los 50 con pianos, un compás suaves y apariciones cortas de trompeta, cambiando el tono con canciones como Hourglass con sintetizadores y ritmos mas ochentero, Rodrigo con este álbum nos muestra que maneja el arte de interpretar temas en varios idiomas que van desde su natal portugués, pasando así por el ingles y el francés. En conclusión un Álbum sin desperdicios para los amantes de la música alternativa suave y con de raíces multiculturales.

Gracias a la luz
"«Hacer la revolución», ésta es la solución en la que piensan la mayoría de los hombres ante el espectáculo de las injusticias. Dicen que esto tiene que cambiar y se juntan, toman las armas. Pero he ahí que después de cada revolución volvemos a encontrar de nuevo, más o menos, las mismas injusticias... Las víctimas y los verdugos han cambiado de bando, pero de una u otra forma siempre hay víctimas y verdugos.
Muchos dicen que quieren trabajar para mejorar el destino de la humanidad, para la felicidad de los pueblos, pero ¿cuántos saben lo que los humanos necesitan realmente para ser felices? Muy pocos, y por eso los resultados no son muy buenos que digamos: si constatamos progresos en algunos campos, nos vemos obligados a constatar al mismo tiempo regresiones en otros. Los verdaderos progresos, las verdaderas mejoras se producen primero en el pensamiento, en el corazón y en el alma de los seres. Y se producen gracias a la luz: todas las leyes, incluso las mejores, serán ineficaces si las mentalidades siguen siendo las mismas: cerradas, egoístas y deshonestas. Éstas son las mentalidades que hay que cambiar en primer lugar, y sólo podrán ser cambiadas con la educación."

Extrañando los jueves de Jazz
El jazz es como un pájaro que migra o emigra o inmigra o transmigra, saltabarreras, burlaaduanas, algo que corre y se difunde y esta noche en Viena está cantando Ella Fitzgerald mientras en París Kenny Clarke inaugura una cave y en Perpignan brincan los dedos de Oscar Peterson, y Satchmo por todas partes con el don de ubicuidad que le ha prestado el Señor, en Birmingham, en Varsovia, en Milán, en Buenos Aires, en Ginebra, en el mundo entero, es inevitable, es la lluvia y el pan y la sal, algo absolutamente indiferente a los ritos nacionales, a las tradiciones inviolables, al idioma y al folklore: una nube sin fronteras, un espía del aire y del agua, una forma arquetípica, algo de antes, de abajo, que reconcilia mexicanos con noruegos y rusos y españoles, los reincorpora al oscuro fuego central olvidado, torpe y mal y precariamente los devuelve a un origen traicionado, les señala que quizás había otros caminos y que el que tomaron no era el único y no era el mejor, o que quizá había otros caminos y que el que tomaron era el mejor, pero que quizá había otros caminos dulces de caminar y que no los tomaron, o los tomaron a medias, y que un hombre es siempre más que un hombre y siempre menos que un hombre, más que un hombres porque encierra eso que el jazz alude y soslaya y hasta anticipa, y menos que un hombre porque de esa libertad ha hecho un juego estético o moral, un tablero de ajedrez donde se reserva ser el alfil o el caballo, una definición de libertad que se enseña en las escuelas, precisamente en las escuelas donde jamás se ha enseñado y jamás se enseñará a los niños el primer compás de un ragtime y la primera frase de un blues, etcétera, etcétera.

TAKE THE RISK
I was so worry about making mistakes, that i always stayed in comfort zone, everything that was too risky, for me, was not the option, until one day, I said: fuck that! fuck that shit!! fuck to the scared, i don't wanna live my life like that, in a comfort zone, so i decide to take the risk, to be brave and be happy, work hard and with passion in the things that i love, that i believe, to try every day to be a better human, to give the best of the best of me, and you know what? my life have changed so much!!! that is why i have no time to post, because i'm finally doing what i love, what make me burn inside out, what full me with joy, yes JOY!!! so this is like a open letter to any one out there in the same situation or not, just a open letter about what i'm experiencing right now, what i call life.
sending love to everyone always :)

It's hard to wacth the game we make of love
I’m never gonna wait that extra twenty minutes to text back, I’m never gonna play hard to get when I know your life has been hard enough already. When we all know everyone’s life has been hard enough. It’s hard to watch the game we make of love, like everyone’s playing chess with their scars, saying checkmate whenever they get out without a broken heart."
Andrea Gibson
I am driven by two main philosophies
"For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you."

El tiempo es quien está jugando al otro lado de la mesa
"Nunca se puede saber de antemano de qué son capaces las personas, hay que esperar, dar tiempo al tiempo, el tiempo es el que manda, el tiempo es quien está jugando al otro lado de la mesa y tiene en su mano todas las cartas de la baraja."
José Saramago, Ensayo sobre la ceguera.
Racism
"The problem is that white people see racism as conscious hate, when racism is bigger than that. Racism is a complex system of social and political levers and pulleys set up generations ago to continue working on the behalf of whites at other people’s expense, whether whites know/like it or not. Racism is an insidious cultural disease. It is so insidious that it doesn’t care if you are a white person who likes black people; it’s still going to find a way to infect how you deal with people who don’t look like you. Yes, racism looks like hate, but hate is just one manifestation. Privilege is another. Access is another. Ignorance is another. Apathy is another. And so on. So while I agree with people who say no one is born racist, it remains a powerful system that we’re immediately born into. It’s like being born into air: you take it in as soon as you breathe. It’s not a cold that you can get over. There is no anti-racist certification class. It’s a set of socioeconomic traps and cultural values that are fired up every time we interact with the world. It is a thing you have to keep scooping out of the boat of your life to keep from drowning in it. I know it’s hard work, but it’s the price you pay for owning everything."

"It is thanks to my evening reading alone that I am still more or less sane."

He knew why he wanted to kiss her
"He knew why he wanted to kiss her. Because she was beautiful. And before that, because she was kind. And before that, because she was smart and funny. Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored. Because whenever he saw something new and interesting, or new and ridiculous, he always wondered what she’d have to say about it—how many stars she’d give it and why."
Rainbow Rowell, Attachments

Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing- singing, laughing, learning.
"Life was not to be sitting in hot amorphic leisure in my backyard idly writing or not writing, as the spirit moved me. It was, instead, running madly, in a crowded schedule, in a squirrel cage of busy people. Working, living, dancing, dreaming, talking, kissing- singing, laughing, learning."
― Sylvia Plath

What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything
“What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

i just really hope all of you find someone
i just really hope all of you find someone who is really cool that you can love and have sex with and all that shit but you can also talk politics and about evolution. someone you don’t cling to at parties but you nonchalantly grab their ass when you walk by them in the crowd and someone you reach for at 2am in between dreams to cuddle.

It’s really cliche to say that everyone is unique but it’s true
I love learning about people. I love hearing their thoughts, their outlook on life. I love hearing someones voice for a first time because it makes them unique. It’s really cliche to say that everyone is unique but it’s true, maybe we don’t see it at first. But if we dig deep enough in to their brain we really see why they’re different from everyone else. And I love that more than anything.

If only you would have had the guts to say how you have been feeling
To all of you people out there who are afraid to express your feelings to the person you like: I advise you to go tell them. let them know how you feel. the worst thing that can happen is that your feelings won’t be reciprocated. then what? you can move on and know that you are brave and strong and have the guts that most people don’t have to express how you feel. this goes along with anything. if you miss someone, let them know. if you want to spend more time with someone, say it straight to their face. don’t keep those thoughts bottled up, left to eat away at your brain because they will. they will make you feel more alone than you have ever felt. One thing I’ve learned throughout my days of life is that communication is key. Everything is questionable and confusing until you communicate. Yes, it’s a risk and yes, it’s extremely scary to feel vulnerable by telling someone you care about them, but why should that be a bad thing? It’s not weak to show you care and it’s not the end of the world if you do get hurt. I feel like I have been brought up feeling like I’ve had to hide how I’ve felt, in fear of guys I’ve liked not feeling the same way. In reality, why should we all be playing this guessing game with the opposite sex when it could be so simple? life is way too short to leave words left unsaid. you will constantly keep guessing and never know what could have been if you simply do not try. something might end up working out so perfectly, if only you would have had the guts to say how you have been feeling. always remember that.

As above so below, you're in control of the rest
And then I heard the voice of heaven
Sayin' don't be scared of anything
I heard the voice of the land,
The beautiful land, sing
I recognize you mother
In a little playful touch from death
As above so below
You're in control of the rest

Házme un lugar en tu almohada
Hay un rincón de tu pelo
en el que yo me perfumaré.
Hay un rincón de tu pelo
sobre la almohada esperándome.
Me iré acercando a tu mejilla
para escucharte respirar
en el que yo me perfumaré.
Hay un rincón de tu pelo

La comprensión, la verdadera, no se obtiene solamente con las células del cerebro
"La razón de ser de los ejercicios que una enseñanza espiritual
preconiza practicar, es hacer vibrar todo nuestro ser hasta las
más mínimas células de nuestras manos y de nuestros pies, en
consonancia con las verdades que aceptamos intelectualmente.
Comprender supone aplicar, realizar, encarnar. Debemos hacer
descender en nosotros cada verdad con la que entramos en contacto
hasta impregnar con ella todo nuestro ser psíquico, así como
nuestro ser físico. La comprensión, la verdadera, no se obtiene
solamente con las células del cerebro; se obtiene también con
las células del corazón, del estómago, de los pulmones, del
hígado y de todos los demás órganos. Si las células de todos
los demás órganos no se movilizan también en este trabajo, las
capacidades del cerebro se encuentran, a su vez, disminuidas.
Para que nuestra comprensión sea completa, todas las células
del cuerpo deben participar. "

You can't be sure
Arabella's got a 70's head
But she's a modern lover
It's an exploration, she's made of outer space
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge
And her kiss the colour of a constellation falling into place
Just might have tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure
like being in pain for a long time and then suddenly realizing that you’re not anymore
I had a weird, empty feeling inside me. Not a bad sort of empty. It was a sort of lack of sensation, like being in pain for a long time and then suddenly realizing that you’re not anymore.
Maggie Stiefvater, Linger
