Pink Floyd
Numa semana em que se assinaram acordos que vão reger o mundo do Trabalho em Portugal, mundo castigado pelo desemprego e pela precariedade, velhos medos retornam para derrogar a esperança num futuro vislumbrado.
Os Pink Floyd numa icónica melodia de 1975, "Wish you were here", lançam palavras com mestria e talento que revelam como a música é intemporal. Ouçamo-los.
Wish You Were Here
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here
Roger Waters e David Gilmour
