Pó ano há de haver mais, quem sabe...
Está a chegar o tal dia que marca a fronteira entre um ano e outro. Há quem faça balanços e relatórios do que se passou. Já fiz uma espécie disso, no ano passado. Este ano não o faço.
É também a altura das festividades, com Natal e a própria festa de passagem de ano. O Natal correu dentro da normalidade… acabou mesmo por ser melhorzinho do que aquilo que eu previa, mas parece ser mesmo esse o truque: não elevar demasiado a fasquia, não ter grandes perspectivas, porque pode ser que uma ou outra coisa acabe por nos surpreender pela positiva.
O mesmo se passa com a passagem de ano. As perspectivas não são muito elevadas, antes pelo contrário. Assim, ou as coisas correm como prevemos e não somos invadidos por qualquer sensação de desilusão ou então as coisas até podem correr bem e acabamos por entrar num novo ano sem a sensação de que será mais tempo perdido.
Aqui fica uma música alusiva ao ano que está a findar.
Bad day de Daniel Powter, com a respectiva letra, no botãozinho do play.
Daniel Powter - Ba... |
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oooh.. a holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
(yeah...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
(Bad day, Daniel Powter)
