"-... esse sujeito de quem estou falando trabalhava como domador de cavalos (...) parecia ter sido feito por encomenda para domar os potros; mas a verdade é que ele tinha outro ofício: o de 'provocador'. Era provocador de sonhos. Isso é que ele era realmente." Pedro Páramo, Juan Rulfo.

Para meu pai...


Solsbury Hill é uma canção a respeito de uma experiência espiritual do músico britânico Peter Gabriel na colina de Solsbury em Sumerset na Inglaterra. Ele escreveu a letra logo após sua saída da banda de rock progressivo Gênesis explicando as razões de sua saída. O que para muitos fãs era o fim para ele era apenas um novo começo. Grande Pedro Gabriel!
A dedicatória... bom, a letra me fez lembrá-lo e achei conveniente.

"Solsbury Hill"

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
(Back home.)

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
