Home, sweet home

Let me just skip those boring cliches introductions…

No, I’m not an old man looking for some well-fit female-fronted bands.
No, I’m not a woman trying to go out on a date (and, hopefully, get pregnant) with a famous musician.
And, obviously, I’m not an American teenager trying to spread a three-chords song on the net.

Ok, all you need to know by now is that I’m an 18-year-old Brazilian girl from São Paulo who is start studying International Relations and Politics in 2 weeks and is a proud Carnival’s hater. And yes, I did say “Carnivals“, and yes, I did use the noun “hater“.

I’ll try and explain. While in bed this morning (yes, I think lots before getting up) I’ve got a conclusion: this festival is just an excuse for people to extend holidays or to act promiscuouslly for some days. It’s unbelievably common to hear sentences like “Brazil starts working properly after Carnival”. Also, it must be considered the increase of pregnancy and HIV/AIDS cases. Argh! I won’t waste my sacred time talking about the… noise… in this… party.

I spent hours (just a couple of minutes actually) trying to work out my first suggestion. Here I go:

Mr Rivers “The Hero” Cuomo

Weezer is one of my favourite bands ever. Rivers, the vocalist and guitarist, has been working on his solo project since 1992 and released last month his debut album “Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo“. 18 tracks, 45 minutes, synthesizers, guitars, amazing lyrics. By the way, this last one was the main criteria for today’s choice.

“Happiness is such a fickle thing
Nothing compares to what you can bring
You can bring meaning to what I do
That is why I want to be with you “

PS: More than obvious, the song and post here are totally dedicated to the one I was made for. Love you lots, my dear.
