Com a palavra, the Boss!!

Eu acredito que a música tem que despertar algum sentimento, não importa qual.

Se a música não encontra ressonância dentro do peito de quem a ouve, ela falha miseravelmente em sua única missão.

A música abaixo desperta uma série gigantesca de sentimentos, expressos pela imagens fortíssimas da letra.

Solidão, desolação, inescapabilidade – já diziam os antigos que o Destino é inexorável.

Acredito no poder que a música tem de cuidar, de curar e de fortalecer.

E acredito que o sujeito que escreveu a música abaixo conhece bem demais o seu ofício.

Vai lá, procure no youtube, valerá a pena. Mas antes leia a letra, leia várias vezes, tentando captar algo além do racional.

Os destaques em negrito são por minha conta, by the way.

E pra ajudar tem DOIS solos de harmônica – adoro solos de harmônica!!

I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trustWhen I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust
I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
And the smell began to rise

We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo] – esse é o primeiro

Now every woman and every man
They wanna take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commandsI've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust

Well I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Yeah it'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo] – o segundo – perfeito não?
