This is a post about an old kind of Music from a city and from a country. This kind of music became popular by the sailors and by some bohemian life in Lisboa (Lisbon).
I have to say I don't like most of Fado's songs but I love some a lot.
Yesterday, this kind of music was classified as World Heritage. And I'm proud of it :)
"Deolinda". I have to confess: I don't like this band. But! I LOVE this song. "Clandestino":
The night was coming cold | black shadows were looming | It was midnight | and my love was late | Our house, our life, | was again turned upside down | At midnight | my love wasn't home.
Oh, I don't know where he is, | will he ever return home, | this was our commitment! | And if by chance we get bad luck, | the deal is not to wait | because our love is clandestine.
Hidden, with the baby, | I didn't care, I waited. | It was midnight | and my love was late | and scratched by brambles. | I don't even remember what I wished... | Never return, | lovers, another house!
And when he finally arrived, | He brought the flowers he picked up | and a toy for the boy. | And when the guard aimed | I was the one who hugged him | because our love is clandestine.

As usual I'll be away and tuned on Radar driving by morning. So this turn I want to remind in time that António Sérgio is gone two years ago.
In this post we have two songs and two artists (Tom Verlaine and Baby Dee) that only AS presented for an important audience that followed him religiously.
We have what I always classified as the most amazing of the most covered song of Robert Zimmerman (as AS used to call him). From "Blow Up", a very exclusive live album, wich AS played entirely at least two times! It was monumental!
Then we have a beautiful song that I posted before here. It says it all: "As songs that go forgotten, are found, remembered, loved and sung again... And if I can remain there, and if I can remain there, I will stay. And I will live another day... Safe, inside the day, inside the song. Safe inside ..."
"Can you tell me where my country lies?" said the unifaun to his true love's eyes. "It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe - for her merchandise, he traded in his prize ..." Dancing With the Moonlit Knight, 1973 Peter Gabriel- Genesis
