The Morning of Our Lives

corrien dies d'innocència després d'aquell primer estiu, l'estiu en què vaig fer divuit anys; corrien dies de fred, de costipats, com cada octubre, corrien dies d'especulacions immobiliàries, de no tantes fiances, corrien dies de plaça francesc macià i dies d'autobús 68 i fins la tarda fins el matí i recordo el temps llarg, més llarg del que va ser, molta pols, i recordo que escoltava la cançó que escolto ara i que m'ha empès a escriure aquest post.

sí, corrien dies del rincón de la victòria, de la meva pròpia victòria, del believe in me as i believe in you, perquè el cinc d'octubre es va obrir un paper llançat a l'atzar on hi deia believe in me, i com tot funciona si ens hi posem i si hi posem colors. corrien dies de pèrdua, de lofts, de fnacs, de passejades, d'autobús 9, corrien dies de plaça espanya raves a altes hores, corrien dies de em llevo, igual que ara, corrien dies de supersamplers, corrien dies de fotografia, corrien dies d'esperança, corrien dies d'el món és meu i només meu, corrien dies d'adéu no et vull veure més, corrien dies de diagonal, de patins, d'exàmens de conduir, corrien dies de caminar, corrien dies d'estalviar, corrien dies d'internet i el powerbook encès durant mesos dia i nit, corrien dies de razzmatazz, corrien dies de vent, de sol, de fred, de classes, d'anglès, de collarets, de carrer tallers, corrien dies!

abans he parlat d'una cançó. és aquesta: Morning of our lives de Jonathan Richman. la lletra d'aquesta cançó va estar penjada a la meva habitació tot el curs i crec en ella, encara!. la lletra:

It hurts me to hear, to see you got no faith in yourself.
It bothers me now to watch you, you got no faith in your own self.
You listen more to your friends than to your own heart inside.
Well, you listen to them, oh but you hide.
You don't got nothin' to be afraid of.
You're not as bad as you think.
And you're always puttin' yourself down,
But i'm just gonna tell you that i like you.
Darling, you always put yourself down, but i like you.
That's all i came to say.
Then there's no need to think that other people can do things better than you can do 'em
'cause you got the same power in you.
I got faith in you. sometimes you don't have it in yourself,
But i got faith in you.

And our time is right now, now we can do anything we really want to.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.

And it ain't just me who thinks so, dear, i asked my friends.
Now, leroy and asa and d. sharpe,
Tell her not to be afraid.
Tell her it's okay.
Tell her it's all right.

And our time is now, we can do anything we really believe in.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.

Dear, i asked leroy and asa and d. sharpe, and they said,
Don't you love her too?
Then tell her she's okay.
Tell her she's all right.
You're okay, dear. there's nothing to feel inferior about. you can do it.
And our time is now, we can do anything you really believe in.
I know it.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.
Our time is right now, you can do anything you set your heart on.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.

We're young now. right now's when we can enjoy it.
Now's the time for us to have faith in what we can do.
No need to fear, cause now's the time to have faith in what we can do.
