  The Saudades Official Anthem

***+++***

1992's Amy Grant opus, "I Will Remember You"

And for other things, other songs:

Saudades 
da vida antiguamente
de tantas coisas perdidas
do tempo passado
do tempo perdido
do tempo que nunca voltarà mais.

Sim, tenho saudades
de tanta coisa.

Saudades de ti.

Saudades de tudo.

  Time: Undetermined!


Because it is already over! 
Porque jà acabeu...!


Na verdade, eu não sei qual é, de verdade, a época que eu amo mais do que a outra...!

En vérité, je vous le dis: je ne sais pas à quelle époque je suis le plus attaché - ni à quel saint me vouer?

The fact of the matter is, I feel as though I am stuck in-between several times: just as I am caught in-between several cultures, languages, traditions...

What to do in this case?
What better than indulge in all of them and embrace them all equally?
That shall make me a quite unique Luciano all right: less boring than the norm, at least!
A true-blue Citizen of the World: Citizen Luce!
I aspire, truth be told, to become somewhat timeless... intemporal... as well!




For I cling on to the Golden Sixties with all my soul:




Am a child of the Seventies deep in my heart:




Lived through the Eighties, through my wits' end and beyond:




Matured in the Nineties, through trial and error:




Matured some more in the "Noughties" -and survived- as it should be:




And am now truly becoming a man of the 21st Century true and true (even though, sometimes, I feel like Buck Rogers did in the 25th - or is that Duck Dodgers in the whatever it is for that quack?)




Through all this, I can say that all the diversity of input that created this mish-mash, this maelstrom of sights and sounds in my head, has truly endowed me with quite the perspective here... It has given me that ol' luminous discernment that I talk about, here and elsewhere, throughout the TLB Prime Network!  I also call it something else:
I've called it 20/20 Vision - with a capital "V" baby! Oui!




For, when one sticks around long enough, one sees through the smoke and mirrors, reads between the lines, discerns the truth that much better - and faster! One realizes how true old adages really are: yes, history does repeat itself. Even when they think they know their history and feel therefore unencumbered with the inevitable doom of repeating it: they will repeat it, in some brand-new novel way all of their own...! It is all the more reason to be fond of the past - after all, they made mistakes because they had never heard of those things before. What's our excuse...? 



Sim, tenho sempre saudades do passado... 
E sempre vou ter!

Sempre Por O Melhor

My Photo
Name:

Born in the Age of Aquarius, destined to seek out truths in many an art form, trained as a historian and a journalist but truly a prose-lover... Luciano is out to dispel any clichés and reinvent them all both to the tune of a little something called the truth as also to his own image - and being old-fashioned, he does not mind that distinction one infinitesimal tiny bit at all...! "There are two ways to spread the light; be the candle... or the mirror that reflects It." I have chosen to be the latter... okay? ~*~ "To be not only a seeker of light... but a dream weaver of light" ~*~ For as surely as the moon reflects the light from the sun, you and I can reflect the Light from Above - and be, indeed, the light of this world! ~*~*~*~ NOTE: THERE ARE COOKIES ~ from at least three parties~ ON ALL OF MY BLOGS! ~*~ accept it!
