I Like Chopin

"I Like Chopin" was an internationally successful single sung by Gazebo and produced in Italy in 1983 by Pierluigi Giombini. It is generally regarded as one of the most significant Italo disco tracks of the mid-1980s; it peaked at #1 in several European national charts. The piano motif in the song is not a Chopin composition; the music was composed by Giombini, the lyrics were written by Gazebo This is my piano cover of that theme.

Pure love

The butterfly and the moon. Once upon a time there was a small butterfly that lived in love with the moon. Why you fall in love with something that you can never have little butterfly? She didn't ear no one. Every night the butterfly was there staring at the lifeless planet that radiated a light, a bright white light that she considered pure. The moon filled her dreams and she could not wait any longer. Once more she will look for her beloved. She opens her wings and flies into the sky. She heard voices that told her (without reason) she could not live without love.

Lost in Translation

A must see: An American film actor visits Tokyo to appear in commercials, and he meets Charlotte, the young wife of a visiting photographer. Bored and weary, Bob and Charlotte make ideal if improbable traveling companions. Charlotte is looking for "her place in life," and Bob is tolerating a mediocre stateside marriage. Both separately and together, they live the experience of the American in Tokyo. Bob and Charlotte suffer both confusion and hilarity due to the cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese. As the relationship between Bob and Charlotte deepens, they come to the realization that their visits to Japan, and one another, must soon end. Or must they?

A Primavera

"Quero fazer contigo o que a Primavera faz com as cerejeiras".  Pablo Neruda

Momentos de tristeza cercavam aquele compartimento.
- Não, não vás! Podemos conseguir dar a volta às coisas - Diz ela numa ultima tentativa de reverter a eminente separação.
- Não posso ficar. - Diz ele lançando um último olhar antes de sair.

Ele partira... Não dera certo. Ela, triste, repara num livro que andara a ler e que continha uma página marcada. Senta-se no sofá e abre o livro naquela página que tem um poema com o título "Sem Ti". Irónico como parecia adequado aquela situação:

Sem ti

E de súbito desaba o silêncio.
É um silêncio sem ti,
sem álamos,
sem lua.

Só nas minhas mãos
oiço a música das tuas.

Eugénio de Andrade

Fecha o livro e deixa fugir uma lágrima. De facto, desabara o silêncio naquela sala.

Islands grouped in a double chain of atolls, along the north-south direction, spread over roughly 90k square kilometres, making this one of the world's most dispersed countries.

The atolls are composed of live coral reefs and sand barsThe barrier reefs of the islands protect them from the storms and high waves of the Indian Ocean. The temperature of Maldives ranges between 24 °C  and 33 °C throughout the year.

Although the humidity is relatively high, the constant cool sea breezes keep the air moving and the heat mitigated. waters are home to several ecosystems, but are most noted for their variety of colourful coral reefs. Calm waters, lost in time and space, here I found peace... a glance of Paradise...

Não há longe nem distância

"Pode a distência separar-te dos teus amigos? Se queres estar junto de alguém que amas, não te parece que já lá estarás?" Esta viagem de descoberta pode levar-te onde quiseres e conduzir-te para junto de quem desejares. As amizades e os sentimentos não dependem do tempo nem do espaço...

Watch the stars

- Daniel!
- Yes sister?
- Come here! Look at the sky, over there! I think... I think I've spoted a new star.
- Oh sister! That red shiny one!

- Yes they do Daniel, at least in our own world, in our imagination!... Now close you eyes and give me your hand... Lets go together and watch that new red star together more closely!!

Big city lights

Theres a street sign on a lamppost where we used to hang
Its on the corner of love and trust
Down by the river bank
Somehow we lost our way on the dark end of the street
Now we sit here every night
And listen to the band and can you hear them say ?

Long and Lasting Friendships

Mutual trust. Only good things they felt about eachother. Stories they lived, confessions they've made. Friendship should be celebrated every day, every oportunity one has because there are things that you can only value if you share with someone and time doens't go back. So live every moment. Here, in this abandoned train station they are celebrating youth and irreverence. Some photos to remember the moment. They once more tell each other how they feel, no questions made,  no wonder why. At least not today. Future belongs to the fututre and will come tomorrow.. it's all theirs. So many plans so many hopes, the next vacations will soon arrive and a plain will take the group to some island, lost somewhere in time and space... and youth will be once more celebrated.
