Music
I like many kinds of music, but I prefer Heavy
Metal. I like groups/singers like Acheron,
António Variações, Beatles, Billy Idol, Elvis
Presley, Frank Sinatra, Gipsy Kings,
Guns’n’Roses, Iron Maiden, Kenny Rogers, King
Diamond, Manowar, Mata Ratos, Martinho da
Vila, Metallica, Napalm Death, Pedro
Abrunhosa, Plasmatics, Prince, Queen, Ratos de
Porão, Santana, Scooter, Slayer, Spice Girls,
S.P.O.C.K, etc.
I like to sit at the computer and listen to
music in the background.
Even music makes one learn new things…
with the Black Metal group
“Acheron” I learned
the expression: “The
invisible crutch of the weak” which
represents religion.
With the artist “Roger
Waters” I learned the expression:
“Old timer, who you gonna
kill next?” referring to the rotten
old men in power who keep the world away from
progress.
With “Metallica”,
in one of their best albums ever,
“Ride
the Lightning”, I heard:
“Out
for my own, out to be free. One with my
mind, they just can't see. No need to hear
things that they say. Life is for my own to
live my own away”.
With “Evanescence”
I learned the expression:
“These
wounds won't seem to heal… this pain is just
too real… there's just too much that time
cannot erase”.
With Amorphis I heard: “Still
searching for my way, the right way to be.
Still pondering what I've done. I'm still
thinking what I've said, still finding from
within. And all that I know is still not
enough”.
With Dio, I learned:
“Learn
from fools and from sages”.
I am not the kind of person who enjoys all
songs of each album… I usually only like a
few, but there were some exceptions, which
means that those groups/singers were superb in that particular album.
I am also after old albums which I had in
vinyl and which I want now to find in CD
format. Some of them are ancient and hard to
find, but I have found some already. I also
noticed that some are costly in my
country, while, if bought from international
stores like Amazon, they are a lot cheaper
even with the postage included.
Ed
Sant'Ana:
Just to pay a little tribute to my
cousin who died in a car accident in May 2005.
Ed Sant'Ana was born in Mozambique on 12.Feb.1966
with the astrological sign of Aquarius.
Composer, guitar player, singer and producer, he
believed in and said that:
“Music
has various forms but only one touches us, the
one that comes from the soul with the purpose
to cure suffering, loneliness and sadness.
That gift is given only to certain persons,
and they have the compromise to spread it as
prophets messengers of Peace and Love… and so,
it
also
happens with
the one who isn't a musician but who has the
gift to pacify, spread tranquillity, love, and
truth”.
Ed started his musical path after he decided to
replace the football fields with the music
stages. A self-taught person, with music of
Carlos Santana, George Benson, Pat Matheny and
others, he dedicated endless hours, with the
guitar in his bedroom, learning to enrich, to
strengthen his spirit and soul as a guitar
player.
During his last three years, associated with
Edgar Pinto, his cousin, their dreams fulfilled
with the opening of a studio, opening the doors
to those who had an inspiration for creating,
composing and give opportunity to people to
record what goes in their souls. From their
partnership a project named
“Terra
e Ambiente” was created, the joining of
two styles: “Terra”
(Earth)
— the hot sounds, pure, mystic and
spiritual coming from the soul.
“Ambiente”
(Environment)
— the balanced sounds and
harmony coming from the technological
environment, creating a characteristic and unique
sonority.
Ed dedicated a big part of his life to his
songs. After he passed away, his parents found a
large collection of songs which he had worked
on, and released two albums:
— Sagrado (Sacred);
—
Selvagem (Wild).
