Semana Gil Scott-Heron: "I'm New Here"
Written by urbe, Posted in Música
I did not become someone different
That I did not want to be
But I’m new here
Will you show me around
No matter how far wrong you’ve gone
You can always turn around
Met a woman in a bar
Told her I was hard to get to know
And near impossible to forget
She said I had an ego on me
The size of Texas
Well I’m new here and I forget
Does that mean big or small
No matter how far wrong you’ve gone You can always turnaround
And I’m shedding plates like a snake
And it may be crazy but I’m
The closest thing I have
To a voice of reason
Turnaround turnaround turnaround
And you may come full circle
And be new here again
Oi Bruno,
Só um recado para te parabenizar pela iniciativa de fazer essa semana de homenagem ao Gil Scott-Heron. Sua música e poesia merecem mesmo chegar diariamente aos ouvidos e mentes de todas as pessoas e assim, seu legado jamais será esquecido.
Tive o privilégio de assistir a uma apresentação dele em 99 – segue a reprise do texto que escrevi ainda sobre o impacto de sua performance, que fica aqui como uma última homenagem: http://dubox.blogspot.com/2010/11/gil-scott-heron-o-poeta-negro.html
