Um samba
Que tal um samba?
Puxar um samba, que tal?
Para espantar o tempo feio
Para remediar o estrago
Que tal um trago?
Um desafogo, um devaneio

Um samba pra alegrar o dia
Pra zerar o jogo
Coração pegando fogo
E cabeça fria
Um samba com categoria, com calma

Cair no mar, lavar a alma
Tomar um banho de sal grosso, que tal?
Sair do fundo do poço
Andar de boa
Ver um batuque lá no cais do Valongo
Dançar o jongo lá na Pedra do Sal
Entrar na roda da Gamboa

Fazer um gol de bicicleta
Dar de goleada
Deitar na cama da amada
Despertar poeta
Achar a rima que completa o estribilho

Fazer um filho, que tal?
Pra ver crescer, criar um filho
Num bom lugar, numa cidade legal
Um filho com a pele escura
Com formosura
Bem brasileiro, que tal?
Não com dinheiro
Mas a cultura

Que tal uma beleza pura
No fim da borrasca?
Já depois de criar casca
E perder a ternura
Depois de muita bola fora da meta

De novo com a coluna ereta, que tal?
Juntar os cacos, ir à luta
Manter o rumo e a cadência
Esconjurar a ignorância, que tal?

Desmantelar a força bruta
Então que tal puxar um samba
Puxar um samba legal
Puxar um samba porreta
Depois de tanta mutreta
Depois de tanta cascata
Depois de tanta derrota
Depois de tanta demência
E uma dor filha da puta, que tal?
Puxar um samba
Que tal um samba?
Um samba

É melhor ser alegre que ser triste
Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe
É assim como a luz no coração

Mas pra fazer um samba com beleza
É preciso um bocado de tristeza
É preciso um bocado de tristeza
Senão, não se faz um samba não

O samba da minha terra deixa a gente mole
Quando se canta todo mundo bole
Quando se canta todo mundo bole

Ponha um pouco de amor numa cadência
E vai ver que ninguém no mundo vence
A beleza que tem um samba, não

Porque o samba é a tristeza que balança
E a tristeza tem sempre uma esperança
A tristeza tem sempre uma esperança
De um dia não ser mais triste não

Da minha terra deixa a gente mole
Quando se canta todo mundo bole
Quando se canta todo mundo bole
(Quando se canta todo mundo bole) juntar os cacos, ir à luta
(Quando se canta todo mundo bole) nanter o rumo e a cadência
(Quando se canta todo mundo bole) esconjurar a ignorância, que tal?
(Quando se canta todo mundo bole) desmantelar a força bruta

Então que tal puxar um samba
Puxar um samba legal
Puxar um samba porreta
Depois de tanta mutreta
Depois de tanta cascata
Depois de tanta derrota
Depois de tanta demência
E uma dor filha da puta, que tal?
Puxar um samba
Que tal um samba?
Um samba
Um samba
Um samba

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
