Save the Whale
Em 1984 (tinha 14 anos, era um puto) comecei a ouvir musica com "ouvidos de ouvir". Nessa altura vivia-se em Portugal a febre do programa "countdown" que nos trazia semanalmente as ultimas novidades do mundo da musica AngloSaxonica... Nessa altura vivia-se a passagem da onda "new wave" (Kajagoogoo, New order, ABC, Human League, O.M.D., etc...) para a nova fase "neo-romantica" (Duran-Duran, Wham, Spandau Ballet, Eurithmics, Etc...).
Da amalgama de novos artistas, de penteados a preceito e roupas a condizer surgiu um gajo cuja musica fez parte de mim durante vários anos... Sem entrar em pormenores ou descrições exaustivas de como a musica dele me influenciou (e às minhas muito intensas paixões de adolescente), deixo aqui uma letra que se destacou por não ter sido mais que uma faixa de encher LP, sem nunca ter chegado a ser hit-single.
SAVE THE WHALE
In the turquoise inner space
the giants live with grace
at peace with peace
at peace with god and men
their spirits rise and fall
much greater than us all
they trust too much
to see their bitter end
never in a million years, they say
it could never come to this, no way
you should never trust man, my friends
so as i stare to sea
the salt winds call to me
and as they call
i hang my head in shame
any other world could call their bluff
but any other world would scream enough
the ocean cries louder to me
save the whale . . .
save the whale . . .
to never kiss and tell
their factory ship farewell
with every scream
a piece of conscience dies
lying in a crimson resting place
crying with a smile upon his face
the giant dies trusting in me
any other world would call their bluff
but any other world would scream enough
the ocean cries louder to me
save the whale . . .
and jesus christ almighty
save the whale . . .
for all our sakes
save the whale . . .
