(Chico Buarque, 1965)
Pedro pedreiro penseiro esperando o trem
Manhã, parece, carece de esperar também
Para o bem de quem tem bem
De quem não tem vintém
Pedro pedreiro fica assim pensando
Assim pensando o tempo passa
E a gente vai ficanto pra trás
Esperando, esperando, esperando
Esperando o sol
Esperando o trem
Esperando o aumento
Desde o ano passado
Para o mês que vem
Pedro pedreiro penseiro esperando o trem
Manhã, parece, carece de esperar também
Para o bem de quem tem bem
De quem não tem vintém
Pedro pedreiro espera o carnaval
E a sorte grande do bilhete pela federal
Todo mês
Esperando, esperando, esperando
Esperando o sol
Esperando o trem
Esperando o aumento
Para o mês que vem
Esperando a festa
Esperando a sorte
E a mulher de Pedro
Está esperando um filho
Pra esperar também
Pedro pedreiro penseiro esperando o trem
Manhã, parece, carece de esperar também
Para o bem de quem tem bem
De quem não tem vintém
Pedro pedreiro esta esperando a morte
Ou esperando o dia de voltar pro norte
Pedro nã sabe mas talvez no fundo
Espera alguma coisa coisa mais linda que o mundo
Maior do que o mar
Mas pra que sonhar
Se dá o desespero de esperar demais
Pedro pedreiro quer voltar atrás
Quer ser pedreiro pobre e nada mais
Sem ficar esperando, esperando, esperando
Esperando o sol
Esperando o trem
Esperando o aumento para o mês que vem
Esperando um filho pra esperar também,
Esperando a festa
Esperando a sorte
Esperando a morte
Esperando o norte
Esperando o dia de esperar ninguém
Esperando enfim nada mais além
Da esperança aflita, bendita, infinita
Do apito do trem
Pedro pedreiro pedreiro esperando
Pedro pedreiro pedreiro esperando
Pedro pedreiro pedreiro esperando o trem
Que já vem, que já vem, que já vem (etc.)
André Velloso - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
