This morning I’ve experienced one of those precious moments ... As I was driving home after a long night and an endless morning, on my car radio : Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
The perfect ending for a very confusing night. With an urge to settle down my ideas and feelings. I’m such a mess right now .
But that was a moment of happiness. Short, as always, but intense ... perfect ...
I missed hearing this song. It’s like coming back in time, when I was girl and I thought the world could be changed with one song, and everything was exagerated and tragic, and i started to experient a lot of new things in my life, and everything was, in fact, new and exciting, and Billy Corgan was a man of undeniable wisdom, and I was just starting to know what I would spend my whole life searching for. Those were the days... Sometimes I miss them, sometimes I don’t ...
I missed them this morning. In a glorious piece of that thing they call happiness.
With a smile upon my face...
And we started to sing along with Billy ...

Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we’d never see an end to it all
And I don’t even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don’t knowJust where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They’re not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don’t even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we’d go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made,
I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don’t care to shake these zipper blues
And we don’t know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guessForgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of sound
As you can see there’s no one around

It was such a perfect moment...
in those seconds i was the happiest person of "my world"... thanks for last night!
despite all the other stuff :P
Ainda há pouco tempo, sempre que fazia programa, passava este tema numas remixes ...
Esta música faz-me recuar. Tinha eu uns 14 anos... seria??? Talvez um pouco mais.
Na altura ouvi o Melancolie and the infinite sadness vezes e vezes sem conta. Até à exaustão. Foi o disco que mais marcou aquela época de transição para a adolescência.
Esta música ainda hoje me abre um sorriso de cada vez que a ouço.
Faz-me feliz ...
Qundo fui para a rádio até levei o CD single com 4 remisturas do 1979 para ouvir. Mas não deu para ouvir...( agora é que eu vejo : podia ter ouvido no computador, acho eu...sou mesmo um tótó informático...)
