River

Sarah McLachlan

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
And then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly high

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost
The best baby that I ever had

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly high

Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

The Cat Returns (2002) tells the story of a girl, a bit lost in her teenagehood, who saves a cat and in return receives a lot of cat favors not all of which pleasant. In this visually beautiful Japanese anime the girl ends up finding herself. The song at the end is quite famous... I knew it before I knew anything about the movie!

A Primavera chega sempre primeiro na cozinha,

só depois chega na rua...

... promessas de narcisos despontam... estão aqui, estão aí!

This Moment
by Eavan Boland

A neighborhood.
At dusk.

Things are getting ready
to happen
out of sight.

Stars and moths.
And rinds slanting around fruit.

But not yet.

One tree is black.
One window is yellow as butter.

A woman leans down to catch a child
who has run into her arms
this moment.

Stars rise.
Moths flutter.
Apples sweeten in the dark.

You can’t be afraid of getting old. Old is good, if you’re gathering in life. Our band is good at understanding that equation.

Enésima versão... e que bonita

Take Me Home, Country Roads

Lana Del Rey

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads

Page Eight (2011) is a thriller involving British politics, the secret service, corruption, and dubious foreign military operations, all unfolding in the backdrop of London, the country side and the halls of Cambridge. A story well tied with excellent acting.
