Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
The man is dead
The man is dead

When I try and sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead


Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
The man is dead
The man is dead


You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher


Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla moja, yihla moja
The man is dead
The man is dead

And the eyes of the world
Are watching now

Peter Gabriel lançou o álbum So há 39 anos

So is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel, released on 19 May 1986 by Charisma Records and Virgin Records. After working on the soundtrack to the film Birdy (1984), producer Daniel Lanois was invited to remain at Gabriel's Somerset home during 1985 to work on his next solo project. Initial sessions for So consisted of Gabriel, Lanois and guitarist David Rhodes, although these grew to include a number of percussionists.

Although Gabriel continued to use the pioneering Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer, songs from these sessions were less experimental than his previous material. Nevertheless, Gabriel drew on various musical influences, fusing pop, soul, and art rock with elements of traditional world music, particularly African and Brazilian styles. It is Gabriel's first non-eponymous album, So representing an "anti-title" that resulted from label pressure to "properly" market his music. Gabriel toured So on the This Way Up tour (1986–1987), with some songs performed at human rights and charity concerts during this period.

Often considered his best and most accessible album, So was an immediate commercial success and transformed Gabriel from a cult artist into a mainstream star, becoming his best-selling solo release. It has been certified fivefold platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. The album's lead single, "Sledgehammer", was promoted with an innovative animated music video and achieved particular success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and subsequently winning a record of nine MTV Video Music Awards. It was followed by four further singles, "Don't Give Up" (a duet with Kate Bush), "Big Time", "In Your Eyes", and "Red Rain".

The album received positive reviews from most critics, who praised its songwriting, melodies and fusion of genres, although some retrospective reviews have criticised its overt commercialism and 1980s production sounds. So was nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1987 but lost to Paul Simon's Graceland. It has appeared in lists of the best albums of the 1980s, and Rolling Stone included the album in their 2003 and 2020 editions of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2000 it was voted number 82 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums. So was remastered in 2002, partially re-recorded for Gabriel's 2011 orchestral project New Blood and issued as a box set in 2012.

Música de aniversariante de hoje...!

 

 

 

Blood Of Eden - Peter Gabriel (feat. Sinéad O'Connor)

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start
And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
The heated and the holy
Oh they're sitting there on high
So secure with everything they're buying

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
We wanted the union
Oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

My grip is surely slipping
I think I've lost my hold
Yes, I think I've lost my hold
I cannot get insurance anymore
They don't take credit, only gold
Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
You hold so tightly in your hand
And all the while the distance grows between you and me
I do not understand

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
We wanted the union
Oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

At my request, you take me in
In that tenderness, I am floating away
No certainty, nothing to rely on
Holding still for a moment
What a moment this is
Oh for a moment of forgetting
A moment of bliss

I can hear the distant thunder of a million unheard souls
Of a million unheard souls
Watch each one reach for creature comfort
For the filling of their holes

In the blood of Eden, lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden, lie the woman and the man
We wanted the union
Of the woman and the man
In the blood of Eden, lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden, lie the woman and the man
I feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden, we have done everything we can
In the blood of Eden, so we end as we began
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
It was all for the union
Oh, the union of the woman, the woman and the man

Steve Biko nasceu há 78 anos...

      
Stephen Bantu Biko (Ginsberg Township, 18 de dezembro de 1946 - Pretoria, 12 de setembro de 1977) foi um ativista anti-apartheid da África do Sul na década de 60 e 70.

Líder estudantil, fundou o Movimento da Consciência Negra (Black Consciousness Movement), que capacitava e mobilizava grande parte da população negra urbana. Desde a sua morte, sob custódia da polícia, ele foi chamado de mártir do movimento anti-apartheid. Enquanto vivia, os seus textos e ativismo tentou capacitar as pessoas negras, e era famoso pelo seu slogan "Black is beautiful", que o próprio descreveu como: "Você está bem como você é, comece a olhar para si mesmo como um ser humano".

Embora Biko nunca tenha sido membro do Congresso Nacional Africano (ANC), foi incluído no panteão dos heróis de luta, com a utilização de sua imagem para cartazes de campanha nas primeiras eleições não-raciais da África do Sul em 1994. Nelson Mandela disse a respeito de Biko: "Tiveram que matá-lo para prolongar o apartheid".
