A ouvir "I Have Questions" de Camila Cabello

Esta é uma música de mim para os meus filhos / This music is from me to my kids

Vejo os meus filhos a crescer, a ganharem autonomia...a mais velha já tem 17 anos...

Depois lembro-me do que fiz os meus pais passarem quando era adolescente tardia e jovem adulta (o meu pai não conseguia dormir enquanto eu e a minha irmã não chegássemos a casa, normalmente de madrugada) e penso que está quase a chegar a minha vez de os deixar ir, de os libertar e sofrer ansiosa na espera  de que cheguem a casa, a temer por eles...a só desejar que eles estejam bem e sejam felizes. Ansiosa por uma mensagem, um telefonema. 

O amor é agora o mesmo que senti quando os segurei pela primeira vez nos braços, quando nasceram. Talvez maior ainda porque os conheço agora do direito e do avesso, sei os seus gostos e os seus medos, o seu riso e a sua voz, os seus beijos e abraços, o seu caminho desde os primeiros passos às conquistas e descobertas que os têm definido  e desenvolvido como pessoas...Ser mãe é o melhor da vida e o mais difícil.

Cada vez que oiço esta música, normalmente no carro, enquanto os levo à escola,  penso que poderia ter sido escrita por mim para os meus filhos. Com muito amor.

James Arthur - Safe Inside

I remember when you were all mine
Watched you changing in front of my eyes
What can I say
Now that I'm not the fire in the cold
Now that I'm not the hand that you hold
As you're walking away

Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I worry about you the whole night
Don't repeat my mistakes
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
If you're home I just hope that you're sober
Is it time to let go now you're older
Don't leave me this way
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside

Everyone has to find their own way
And I'm sure things will work out okay
I wish that was the truth
All we know is the sun will rise
Thank your lucky stars that you're alive
It's a beautiful life

Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I worry about you the whole night
Don't repeat my mistakes
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside
If you're home I just hope that you're sober
Is it time to let go now you're older
Don't leave me this way
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside

If you make the same mistakes
I will love you either way
All I know is that I can't live without you
There is nothing I can say
That will change you anyway
Darling, I could never live without you
I can't live, I can't live

Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I worry about you the whole night
Don't make my mistakes
I won't sleep, I won't sleep
If you're home I just hope that you're sober
Is it time to let go now you're older
Don't leave me this way
I won't sleep 'til you're safe inside

Will you call me to tell me you're alright
Cause I worry about you

A ouvir "Issues" de Julia Michaels

Vais-me amar quando eu já não for jovem e bonita? / Will you still love me when I'm not longer young and beautiful?

Sei que sim. :) 

I know you will. :)




I've seen the world, done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, in Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I've got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

I've seen the world, lit it up
As my stage now
Changeling angels in a new age now
Hot summer days, rock n roll
The way you play for me at your show
And all the ways, I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I've got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Dear lord, when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let him
Father tell me if you can
All that grace, all that body
All that face, makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds

Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I've got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful?

Boa noite com Melody Gardot/ Good night with Melody Gardot

Good night
Close your eyes and just
Sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure whether all of your dreams are pure

My dear don't you worry about a thing
I'll be near to you all night
And through the eveningI'll be by your side
So Good night
Close your eyes and just sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure whether all of your dreams are pure

While you slumber in case you
Ever wonder if a summer breeze
Just brushed your cheek
Know it's meAnd Good nightClose your eyes and just
Sleep tight
I'll lie awake and watch you dream
To be sure whether all of your dreams are pure
And Goodnite
close your eyes and just sleep tight
ill lie awake and watch you dream
to be sure that all of your dreams are pure

Digam lá que este não é um grande "Boa noite"!

If The Stars Were Mine pela voz de Melody Gardot

Vale a pena apreciar a letra desta música com mais atenção:

If the stars were mine
I'd give them all to you
I'd pluck them down right from the sky
and leave it only blue
I would never let the sun forget to shine upon your face
so when others would have rain clouds you'd have only sunny days
If the stars were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd put the stars right in a jar and give 'em all to you

If the birds were mine
I'd tell them when to singI'd make them sing a sonnet when your telephone would ring
I would put them there inside the square, whenever you went out
so there'd always be sweet music whenever you would walk about
If the birds were mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you

If the world was mine
I'd paint it gold and greenI'd make the oceans orange for a brilliant color scheme

I would color all the mountains, make the sky forever blue
So the world would be a painting and I'd live inside with you
If the world was mine
I'd tell you what I'd do
I'd wrap the world in ribbons and then give it all to you
I'd teach the birds such lovely words and make 'em sing for you
I'd put those stars right in a jar...and..........
give them all...to you.......
