ando com saudades do flower power, e sinto-me cada vez mais neo-hippie... a sério.
dizem que pode haver por aí uma revolução silenciosa qualquer, e eu queria que houvesse.

que o silêncio dos introvertidos fosse uma canção de amor e, já agora, que a banda sonora fosse esta:

Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Can't you see this won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone

We got to let love rule
Let love rule

o senhor kravitz é sobretudo conhecido como performer de um rock mais duro, mas aqui e ali tem escrito coisas mais pausadas, como é o caso desta grande balada, que apesar de ser de cisão e rompimento é a canção que associo sempre ao enamoramento.
ouvida anos e anos depois, constatam-se duas coisas: continua a ser uma canção imortal - e o enamoramento também.



I'm just a human
I never said I was God
And each day I wonder where you are
How could our lives once be so together
Now we're apart
I know we can make it
But where do we start?
Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?

The difference is why
The difference is why

You say you can't trust me
Have you tried?
You say you don't love me
That's a lie
There are so many so many rainbows
That we were to climb
But baby baby why can't we survive?
We've got to get our heads untangled
And free our state of mind

The difference is why
The difference is why

Sometimes the scales get unbalanced
Don't you know the reason why?

The difference is why
The difference is why
Does this have to mean goodbye?
