Tribute to Green Day

Fui vê-los há uns dias. O melhor concerto que já vi. Para além da música excelente que conhecia, uma banda espectacular ao vivo. A melhor mesmo, que eu conheço.

Deixo-vos uns pedaços de letra que ressoam comigo.

"I've been waiting a long time
for this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all"
Green Day - Waiting

"Dear mother can you hear me whining?
It's been 3 whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden feeling left me trembling...
Cause now it seems that I'm out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

[...]

Dear mother can you hear me laughing?
It's been 6 whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise"
Green Day - Welcome to Paradise

"[...]
And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don't believe in me
[...]
Oh therapy can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
for lack of a better word and that's my best excuse.

To live and not to breathe
is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
to find what you believe
[...]
Home
(you're leaving)
(you're leaving)
(you're leaving)
Are you leaving home?"
Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia

"Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
about nothing and everything
all at once?
I am one of those
melodramatic fools
neurotic to the bone
no doubt about it."
Vale a pena dizer o nome desta?
Vá, nunca se sabe... Green Day - Basket Case

"Another turning point
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.

[...]

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos and memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while...

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life"
Green Day - Time of your life (Good Riddance)
