In the Matt Goias biopic, this is the song that plays in the part where I am sad, contemplative and reflective, yet, hopeful and optimistic.

It's weird that of my few theme songs, two of them are instrumentals by Marvin Gaye who is one of the most famous singers of all time. I wonder what that means?

Anyway, this song is what it usually sounds like inside my brain.

"After The Dance" by Marvin Gaye

Yup.   "Good Morning".  The Beatles.  I might actually have used this one before.  I did not promise no repeats (good thing,huh?).  I've posted over 60 songs, but have not kept a record of which songs I've used. Still, it's a good song to start your day.

Did you have a wonderful weekend?  Mine was fine, thank you.  We are awaiting work people now to put a sturdy ramp on the front porch for my mom.   She is quite tentative and prefers now to use a walker, so that's what we're doing.  We also are in desperate need of a new back storm door.  Ours is at least 20 years old and has icky scabs on it, slams shut and leaks like a sieve.  That plus locking hardware for the front storm door (my peace of mind) and we're good for a while.  Finances make it difficult to take on too many projects at once and these are the ones in the most dire need.  So, this week after work I'll be monitoring the work so that my mother can get in and out of the house with the least problems.  Saturday was work day.  I did some cleaning chores I needed to to put my own mind at ease.  It was either that or I was going to have to avoid the kitchen entirely.  Sunday was knitting.  I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but then, I never really do, do you?

No pictures of knitting today. I have been knitting, but no pics.  I'm currently working on Thing 2 (sleeve 2 of the Cosmo card).   I will try to be better, but when you knit at a snail's pace the progress shots are not just dull, they are deadly dull.  I love looking at your blogs and seeing your progress.  You all are much better than I am at this stuff.

I got the new Stephanie Pearl-McPhee book 3 weeks ago and have read about 5 pages.  I keep going to sleep.  Hopefully, I'll be able to finish the book before the next millenia.  It is, as I expected, delightful.  I haven't read any reviews or even seen a post about it.

If you have a three day weekend, lucky you!  You'd better enjoy it or accomplish something or I'll be disappointed for you.  I will be toddling off to work again.  Yeehaw!

Hey!  You have a good one!

Kalo kata orang, sekalian aja nonton di bioskop. Yang pertama lebih puas, kedua adalah nonton secara legal jadi ga ngerugiin para produser film - biasanya kalo nonton sendiri kan pasti bajakan tuh, mana pernah beli dvd aseli, dan ketiga ga bakal ketiduran karena biasanya kan dah bayar tuh jadi ga mau rugi dan lebih konsen nontonnya. Tapi sialnya tetep aja gw sering ketiduran. Ya wajar siy (seenggaknya menurut gw wajar), dulu itu gw sering nonton di bioskop di dua waktu. Yang pertama abis pulang pertandingan bola, udah abis capek pas lagi ngumpul-ngumpul makan ada aja yang ngusulin nonton. Atas nama kebersamaan gw sering ikut dan akhirnya mimpi indah di dalam bioskop. Tapi biasanya gw nonton sebagian plus endingnya, jadi bisa nebak-nebak sotoy sok ga ketiduran lah. Trus yang kedua temen-temen gw yang laen hobi banget ngajakin nonton midnight. Kalo ga nonton tapi begadang ampe pagi siy bisa aja, tapi entah kenapa klo di dalem bioskop otak gw merepresentasikannya sebagai waktunya tidur dan hasilnya tetep tidur walaupun tuh film seru dan berisik sana-sini.

Nah akhir-akhir ini gw lagi berhasil ngabisin isi harddisk. Ga tau kenapa jadi semangat nonton. Jadi lumayan ngurangin isi harddisk lah. Trus beberapa waktu kemarin pas Laskar Pelangi muncul beberapa temen SMA gw ngajakin ngumpul-ngumpul sekalian nonton film itu. Ga terlalu banyak yang dateng, tapi yang aneh adalah kumpulan orang itu bukan kumpulan orang yang mungkin untuk kumpul bareng. Mmm, ya ga sampe ga mungkin juga siy, toh kita pernah satu sekolah, tapi bisa dibilang kemungkinannya sangat kecil. Yah bisa dibilang kita kenal dan pernah ngobrol sekali-sekali tapi ga sedeket itu untuk ngumpul dan maen bareng. Gw sendiri biasanya maen ama temen maen bola pas SMA, atau temen-temen rusuh yang suka nongkrong di belakang sekolah, atau paling ngga temen-temen sekelas, atau juga kadang temennya temen maen bola pas SMA, atau temen-temennya temen-temen rusuh yang suka nongkrong di belakang sekolah, atau paling ngga temennya temen-temen sekelas. Nah, bingung kan. Tapi siapapun temennya tetep minum teh botol sosro, sayangnya waktu itu lagi puasa. Yang penting tujuan ke sana adalah nonton Laskar Pelangi. Setelah nonton ternyata sedikit berbeda dengan novelnya. Yah emang susah siy nge-translate novel yang bisa cerita panjang lebar tanpa diganggu tulisan "Periksa barang bawaan anda" jadi sebuah film yang berdurasi terbatas. Tapi reflek logika sotoy gw langsung ngebuat gw mikir "Lha kan harusnya ga gini niy" "Lha kan dia ga ada niy di novel" "Harusnya bukan dia niy" "Ah dipotong niy" dkk. Sempet kecewa juga pas ngeliat adegan yang bener-bener bertolak belakang kaya pas cerdas cermat. Guru SD PN di sana malah terkesan baik dan ngebantu Lintang, padahal di buku kebalikannya. Ada beberapa hal juga yang diubah dan ditambahin yang menurut gw mungkin untuk menambah suatu kesan. Misalnya meninggalnya Pak Harfan dan tokoh guru tambahan Pak Bakir yang cabut dari SD Muhammadiyah yang menurut kesotoyan gw adalah untuk menambah kesan perjuangan dan ketabahin hati bu Mus. Itu cuma pendapat lho, tolong para penulis, pengamat, produser, sutradara, komentator, dan penonton laennya jangan lantas menghujat kesoktauan saya. Toh film ini tetep bagus dan punya makna mendalam. Yang ga baca novelnya dan yang ga sotoy sok inget novelnya kaya gw juga ga bakal protes. Semoga anak-anak yang nonton film ini bisa jadi lebih semangat buat belajar dan sekolah. Rajin dan selalu pengen jadi yang terdepan, ga tidur terus di kelas kaya gw.

Tiga paragraf tadi cuma mukadimah dari inti cerita gw kali ini. Jadi di salah satu adegan Laskar Pelangi, kalau ga salah pas mereka pergi jalan-jalan rame-rame buat ngeliat pelangi, ada lagu yang cukup menarik perhatian. Simpel, akustik, dan bikin pikiran menerawang. Langsung deh gw bikin reminder di otak gw buat ngeliat daftar lagu soundtrack-nya di akhir film buat dicari. Pas film beres, dari list lagu soundtrack yang ada kandidat lagu yang gw cari tadi adalah lagunya Ipang. "Oh iya, tadi kayanya suara si Ipang". Dan beberapa hari kemarin tiba-tiba keinget dan cari deh tuh lagu. Ketemu deh, lagunya Ipang untuk soundtrack Laskar Pelangi yang judulnya Sahabat Kecil. Waduh, kriminalitas niy download lagu gratisan.

Oh iya, gw ga tidur lho pas nonton Laskar Pelangi. Yess!

Ipang - Sahabat Kecil

Baru saja berakhir

hujan di sore ini

menyisakan keajaiban

kilauan indahnya pelangi

Tak pernah terlewatkan

dan tetap mengaguminya

Kesempatan seperti ini

tak akan bisa di beli

Bersamamu kuhabiskan waktu

senang bisa mengenal dirimu

Rasanya semua begitu sempurna

sayang untuk mengakhirinya

Melawan keterbatasan

walau sedikit kemungkinan

tak akan menyerah untuk hadapi

hingga sedih tak mau datang lagi

Bersamamu kuhabiskan waktu

senang bisa mengenal dirimu

Rasanya semua begitu sempurna

Sayang untuk mengakhirinya

Janganlah berganti

Tetaplah seperti ini

    A música nos ajuda a recordar as épocas de uma vida inteira e seus respectivos "soundtracks" e assim continuamos a viver e enlouquecer, o nosso corpo não acompanha o ritmo da mente e assim nos tornamos "crianças" no corpo de adultos, com os mesmo sonhos e ideais.

  Por isso ouvir música se torna arte para todos, ouvi-la alto é a melhor coisa que existe e sem dúvida o que nos mantém vivos.

Ahhhhh, que maravilha, ontem eu finalmente assisti ao FuerzaBruta!
Estou com meus ingressos comprados desde setembro, estive ansiosa todos esses dias mas, aleluia, rolou!

Foi complicado chegar até o parque Villa Lobos, onde seria o espetáculo. Sábado à tarde ficou tudo chuvoso, esfriou, meu ônibus não passava e tive que subornar minha mãe oferecendo R$40 pra ela me levar (o táxi possívelmente seria mais caro mesmo. hahah). Cheguei lá às 21:05 (estava marcado o início para às 21h) e, ainda bem, ainda não tinha iniciado. Chegamos embaixo de chuva à instalação, onde havia um bar ótimo (e caríssimo, diga-se de passagem. R$52 em duas doses de Absolut e dois energéticos.) Logo veio o aviso de que o espetáculo iniciaria em cerca de 5 minutos, quando fomos conduzidas ao espaço onde realmente seria a apresentação.

Luzes apagadas, ninguém sabia muito pra onde olhar quando o espetáculo iniciou, só com as músicas. Durante todo o espetáculo, a 'platéia' (entre aspas por que você fica muito dentro do espetáculo!) é convidada a de mover a um ou outro lado do ambiente para dar espaço àos performers. Foi tudo bastante organizado e calmo nesse aspecto.

A apresentação é um baque pra todos que assistem, é tão bonito e passional que chega a chocar, mas, se você, como eu, tem emoções fortes conforme as batidas e viradas das músicas, o buraco é mais embaixo. Cada vez que uma música virava e o "tom" do espetáculo mudava, a velocidade, a forma de apresentação, um arrepio corria minha espinha, queria ficar mais umas 10 horas assistindo diversos "Fuerzabruta" seguidos.

Não há um script ou linearidade na apresentação, são são idéias, conceitos e sensações jogados contra seus olhos, além de despertar aquele velho desejo de ignorar a gravidade e voar.

Num momento, uma grande 'piscina' desce do teto e você fica assistindo por baixo a movimentação dos performers nelas. É indescritível a sensação que dá quando você vê as pessoas não-personificadas nadando sobre você, é quase como ter um contato com uma outra forma de vida, uma outra dimensão. É maravilhoso fazer o contato através da placa de acrílico que separa você daqueles 'seres aquáticos flexíveis', mãos com mãos. Eu senti como se durante um momento nós espectadores que estivéssemos sob a água, quando você vê chuva caindo muito acima de você, na superfície da água.

Não vou falar muito mais, até por que não tem a menor graça ler isso sem assistir, e, se você já assistiu, com certeza deve compartilhar da minha 'boquiabertura'. ;)

Abaixo disponibilizo algumas músicas da trilha para download, a qualidade está baixa pois veio diretamente do site oficial, http://www.fuerzabruta.net

Se tiverem a oportunidade de assistir a esse espetáculo, não percammmm, é uma experiência única!

Strings are the primary component sound with the occasional piano or horn providing accents. It's mellow and thought provoking and probably better appreciated if you are familiar with the themes of the movie. The human spirit overcoming, or failing, the expectations of perfection. Stand alone it is very enjoyable music.

This is one of my favorite scores and can be listened to front to back.

It's perfect background music. Here is a track titled, 'The Departure.'

"I never saved anything for the trip back."
