It's a sin

Primeira Música do Dia (28/07)

Acordei com esta música a passar na rádio. Gosto dela. Porquê? Não faço a mínima, gosto da voz, do ritmo e arranjo musical tão característico do anos 80. Acho que é principalmente por isso que gosto dela. Sinceramente nunca lhe tinha ligado muito. Ouvia na rádio e passava um bom bocado enquanto a música tocava. Por isso, nem sequer tinha alguma vez prestado atenção à sua letra. Não é nada de esplendoroso, não é especial. Mas é uma letra curiosa. Talvez nos possamos identificar ali em algumas subtis partes. Uns mais que outros claro. Eu nem por isso.

"At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed"

Fica o vídeo tão tipicamente 80's. Os cenários estranhos, e as narrativas um pouco non-sense. É também demasiado parado para um vídeo clip. Chega a ser secante, ver o homem tanto tempo ajoelhado em frente à fogueira e a cantar para câmara. Aproveitem, fica a letra em baixo também.




(Twenty seconds and counting...
T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay)

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
