Beautiful day

Para além de ser o dia de anos da minha Avó, e ter de ser comemorado à altura, andei a pensar que este blog tem muitas canções sobre chuva, de maneira que o beautiful day era para impressionar os senhores lá de cima e convencê-los a afrouxar esta porcaria de inverno polar/glaciar/whatever.
Infelizmente o YouTube não tem o vídeo original (aeroporto Charles de Gaulle, anyone?), de onde tenho recordações tão boas... do contacto em movimento uniformemente acelerado do chão de mármore com o meu joelho, com o bobby da Samsonite a assistir pela trela, quase patinagem artística.
Obviamente não sei porque não temos direito ao vídeo original, deve ser uma coisa que viole direitos de qualquer coisa, como os chineses.
NÃO INTERESSA, DESDE QUE VENHA UM SOLINHO, PLEASE.
Ah, gosto bastante da canção embora já esteja naquela fase em que acho o Bono um ser insuportável, gramo muito os U2, até ao How to dismantle an atomic bomb, that is, só o The Edge é que se escapa. Como sempre.


The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
