a melhor música de todos os tempos... hoje...

celebration day - led zeppelin

all hail the mighty zeppelin. a maior banda rock de todos os tempos em toda a sua decadente exuberância. as roupas eram ridiculas, os penteados também, as drogas já eram indispensáveis, o sexo sempre o foi e não havia tempo para dormir (reza a lenda que jimmy page, na altura da gravação destes concertos, passou entre 3 a 5 dias sem pregar olho). mas estávamos em 1973 e todos os excessos eram perdoados... e depois:

her face is cracked from smiling,
all the fears that she's been hiding,
and it seems pretty soon ev'rybody's gonna know.
and her voice is sore from shouting,
cheering winners who are losing,
and she worries if their days are few
and soon theyll have to go.

my, my, my, i'm so happy,
i'm gonna join the band,
we are gonna dance and sing and celebration,
we are in the promised land.

she hears them talk of new ways
to protect the home she lives in,
then she wonders what its all about
when they break down the door.

her name is brown or white or black,
you know her very well,
you hear her cries of mercy
as the winners toll the bell.

my, my, my, i'm so happy,
i'm gonna join the band,
we are gonna dance and sing and celebration,
we are in the promised land.

there is a train that leaves the station
heading for your destination,
but the price you pay has increased a dollar more.
yes, it has!
and if you walk you're gonna get there
tho it takes a little longer,
and when you see it in the distance
you will wring your hands and moan.
