Mensagem do dia

Imagem de Gnomes Psychedelic Breakfast.

Nos tempos que correm dá a sensação que a maioria das pessoas limitam-se a ouvir a musica tocar e não ligam nenhuma à mensagem.

A eterna Janis Joplin canta Get it while you can.
Esta é a minha 2ª musica preferida dela, que se pode encontrar no disco Janis Joplin in concert, um dos melhores CD’s que comprei na minha vida, já lá vão quase 15 anos desde esse dia.
Esta musica serve também para estrear um novo leitor de musica, aqui para o blog, deixando de abrir uma nova janela, cada vez que alguém queira ouvir a “musica actual”. Obrigado à Ana Fonseca, mais uma vez, por me ter dado a descobrir o Esnips, que possibilita este leitorzito de musica e espaço de armazenamento online para as musicas.

A mensagem fica já aqui a seguir, como de costume.

Janis Joplin - Get...

In this world, if you read the papers, darling,
You know everybody's fighting with each other.
You got no one you can count on, dear,
Not even your own brother.
So if someone comes along,
He gonna give you love and affection,

I'd say get it while you can, yeah,
Honey, get it while you can, yeah,
Honey, grab it while you can,
Don't you turn your back on love, no, no, no.

When you're loving somebody, baby,
You're taking a gamble against some sorrow.
But who knows, baby,
'Cause we may not be here tomorrow.
And if anybody comes along,
He gonna give you love and affection,

I'd say get it while you can, yeah!
Honey, grab it when you're gonna need it!
Yeah hey, hold it while you can,
Don't you turn your sweet back on love,
No no no, no no no no no!

Ah! Once I had me a man,
But I didn't know enough at the time
To count my blessings, no no,
But I wish he could see me crying today,
'Cause his love don't feel to listen.
And if anybody comes along,
He gonna give me love and affection,
Yeah, hey!, Hey! Yeah! Hey!

Get it while you can, yeah!
Honey, get it while you can, yeah!
Honey, get it while you can,
Don't you turn your back on love,
No no no, no no no no.

Get it while you can, yeah!
Honey, grab it while you can, yeah!
I said, hold on to that man, love,
Hold on to that man whole,
Yeah, get it, want it, need it,
Get it, get it, hold it, need it, want it,
Get it, need it, want it, hold it,
Get it, squeeze it, love it, touch it,
Use it, need it, want it, get it,
Need it, want it, hold it,

Yeah hey, get it while you can, baby,
Yeah hey, get it while you can,
Honey, don't you go and turn your sweet back on love,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, daddy, you'll be sorry,
No, no, no, no!

Why, thank you! I don't smoke. I just don't sleep, man, that's the trouble. I gotta sleep sometime. There's too much happening, why sleep, man ? I might miss a party.

(Get it while you can, Janis Joplin)
