in a few days, i head over to the mother-island--the philippines-- for two weeks.
and i'm flipping out a little.
think it's the 22 hour flight?
or, manila's real feel temperature of...114.8?
the 83% humidity?
hell no. i can't worry about that til TUESDAY.
it's all the work i have to do from now til then.
hooray!
(is it possible to feel your hair graying?)
but you know what? i've got a nice glass of white wine, some nice beach-y music on, and so far tonight i've been surprisingly productive. i feel like i can go for a few more hours.
and...here are a few of the many tunes that will keep me going...
"roda" (try not snapping your hips to this one)
"batucada"
and 2 versions of "wave":
the first is the sergio mendes version, and then a very nice jobim...
"just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me"
***
and because tom jobim's lyrics are so beautiful, here's the translation:
so close your eyes
for that's a lovely way to be
aware of things your heart alone was meant to see
the fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
you can't deny
don 't try to fight the rising sea
don't fight the moon, the stars above and don't fight me
the fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
when I saw you first the time was half past three
when your eyes met mine it was eternity
by now we know
the wave is on its way to be
just catch the wave don't be afraid of loving me
the fundamental loneliness goes whenever two can dream a dream together
