PROSA DE VERÃO 3X20

Baby, lover of mine, remember casual holiday, summer holiday, our anniversary, that old sun? Ruby sun is king!
Remember familiar light that day in California, Southern California, surfing you and I by the sea, you and I, watching the waves? Time to wander...
I like swimming in deep blue sea and when your sun goes down you'll know. Cold moments, high and dry. Can't hear my eyes, it's working? Just ain't gonna work out. Can't I know? I can't go for that, I can't tell you why...
All I want, is kisses.The best thing in dreamland it's a kiss. A kiss off fortune wet gold, close to you, me in you, real love, freak love. What would I want? Sky.
Beach baby, I been born again, I'll leave house, happy house, I will live on islands, I'll take care of you. Oh my love, I love music, Billie Holiday, Shadows! Sing me a song, a natural tune... la la la, uh? You say the stupidest things. Last song, finish line!
We are free, forever.

Gostaram da história? Para esquecer tristezas, dedicamos parte do fim de semana a escolher música de férias. Depois decidimos juntar os títulos dos temas e, com algum esforço, construir esta pequena charopada que só mesmo o calor pode desculpar. São mais de 60 canções eleitas da imensa escolha que um iPod Clássic aguenta. Entre versões e poucos temas antigos, demos primazia a música recente e despreocupada e que no verão ainda faz mais sentido... ou não. A foto, do olho insistente do amigo Nuno, não é californiana mas sim viguense. Serve na mesma. Na medida do possível, boas férias!
