And if you still don't know me after all that - well then, the kitty cat I inherited from my dear saintly man of a Dad knows me better than a 1001 talent scouts...! That, in short, is my kind of luck! :-!
Not only does every single image link to a different site / aspect / vision of mine... Each image and/or logo grasps quite well each and every different side of me, I do believe! ;)
Thanks to all who helped in the selection process!
And that goes for the song too: quite evocative of the tastes of my buds over at Slash Studios, "Within Temptation" is a band I did not even know - and the selected cut, "See Who I Am" fits the bill here quite to a "T" indeed!
I would have probably selected a song with a male voice - subbing for ME, even though I do have quite a melodious voice myself...! ;) But this choice is, verily, even better!
Now let us all hope that the track will not suddenly vanish into thin air - like everything shared through either YouTube, RadioBlogClub or Snapdrive (even though we upload our own things there!) is at risk of doing, sooner or later...
I take it all in stride though - as, also, some sort of allegorical twist on the reality of each and all of our very lives here on Earth...
Onwards then - our time is short
Let us illuminate enlighten and luminescently entertain the masses! IF... they'll let us do it!
("They" being the Powers That Be...! And the masses as well... sometimes!)
Ah, and those lyrics are truly more than "within temptation" too, so to speak...! They are spot on!
Those that know me, know that I attach A LOT of importance to the lyrics of any song I listen to: and this "See Who I Am" anthem does not disappoint one bit on that front either! Verily, they can only suit me better if I had penned them myself...!
But I didn't - of course. The following are the copyrighted material of Within Temptation - I only strongly identify with the end result, that is all!
Is It True What They Say Are We To Blind To Find A Way Fear Of The Unknown Cloud Our Hearts Today
Come Into My World See Through My Eyes Try To Understand Don't Wanna Lose What We Have
We've Been Dreaming For Who Can't Deny It's The Best Way Of Living Between The Truth And The Lies
Chorus See Who I Am Break Through The Surface Reach For My Hand And Shout Out That We Can Free Your Mind And Find A Way The World Is In Our Hands This Is Not The End
Fear Is Withering The Soul At The Point Of No Return We Must Be The Change We Wish To See
I'll Come Into Your World See Through Your Eyes I'll Try To Understand Before We Lose What We Have
We Just Can't Stop Believing Because We Have To Try We Can Rise Above The Truth And The Lies
Chorus See Who I Am Break Through The Surface Reach For My Hand And Shout Out That We Can Free Your Mind And Find A Way The World Is In Our Hands
See Who I am Break Through The Surface Reach For My Hand And Shout Out That We Can Free Your Mind And Find A way The World Is In Our Hands
This Is Not The End
Hear The Silence Reach Out My Blame Will Our Strength Remain? If The Power Rise
Chorus See Who I Am Break Through The Surface Reach For My Hand And Shout Out That We Can Free Your Mind And Find A Way The World Is In Our Hands
See Who I Am Break Through The Surface Reach For My Hand And Shout Out That We Can Free Your Mind And Find A Way The World Is In Our Hands
This Is Not The End
Stay tuned for, here, on this very blog, I will post my very own songwriting as well - exclusively that, as far as lyrics go, from this point on! But I write a lot of different things too, as you will notice...
It could not be any other way: as a first true-blue sample of my luminous lyricism -or songwriting, truly- here is a little something I composed in my mother tongue, the language of my ancestors - glorious Portuguese.
And it could only be called...
O Fado Do Luciano!

Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fado O meu fado carinhoso O meu fado orgulhoso Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fa-a-do É um fado invergonhoso É um fado um pouco baboso
A minha vida sem fim a minha vida vai ter fim Nem sei bem quem me carinhava nem sem bem quem me odiava A minha vida foi assim a minha vida sem sentido sem saber o que é que eu queria sem saber o que é a vida!
Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fado O meu fado carinhoso O meu fado orgulhoso Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fa-a-do É um fado invergonhoso É um fado um pouco nervoso...!
Passei a vida à sonhar Passei a vida à rezar Nunca passou pelo o juizo a ideia de agir, de matar Passei a vida à brincar Passei a vida à jogar Nunca tomei nada à serio Nunca quiz ser um cavaleiro...!
Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fado O meu fado carinhoso O meu fado orgulhoso Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fa-a-do É um fado invergonhoso É um fado pouco geitoso...!
E é assim que todo se dei E é assim que todo se passou Eu dei, eles derem, e eu dei mais por sima e depois a vida doeu tanto Sim, foi mesmo assim que se passou Foi mesmo assim que se passou E, tal qual a Francesa não me arrependo, não tenho do!
Este foi o meu fado Este foi o meu fado O meu fado carinhoso O meu fado orgulhoso Este é o meu fado Este é o meu fa-a-do É um fado invergonhoso É um fado muito gostoso...!

RAISON Paroles de Luciano Pimentel
Sans raison apparente... Sans récolte imminente mon coeur tressaillit pour toi - avec une si grande joie toi qui m'as jalousé... toi qui m'en a fait tant ragé... pourtant, moi, je ne t'en veux pas - c'est fou mais c'est comme ça tu pourrais me faire damner une centaine de fois que je te pardonnerais tout - et demeurerais fou de toi ah, mais attention... il y une limite... comme de raison!
Le coeur a ses raisons Que la raison ne comprend pas Mais moi j'ai bien plus raison qu'une émotive comme toi!
tu émoustilles... et tu gaspilles tu ne sais pas où tu t'en vas tu fous tout en l'air - tu m'exaspères! tu ne sais qu'une chose - me tomber sur les nerfs! tu as du culot - et ça j'aime ça! tu vas trop loin - oui, ça c'est bien...! tu sais comment me faire en redemander tu sais exactement quand j'ai envie de t'aimer
Le coeur a ses raisons Que la raison ne comprend pas Mais moi j'ai bien plus raison qu'une émotive comme toi!
tu es la sirène... et moi le capitaine tu es la courtisane... et moi le macaque de matane tu es l'ensorcelleuse... et moi l'ensorcellé tu es la petite toute pieuse... et moi le grand débauché tu es la vierge effarouchée... et moi le séducteur débonair tu es folle à liée... et moi c'est à l'asile que je suis né! tu as perdu tout contrôle... et moi... je trouve ça tellement drôle! tu es un tantinet tannante... et moi je suis ton clown espiègle!
Faut s'faire une raison - on est pris pour être ensemble Faut s'faire une raison - toi et moi c'est quand même bien, dans l'ensemble! On ne sera jamais d'accord Qui a raison - et qui a tort Tantôt je suis le faible - un autre tantôt, c'est moi le fort Toi, tu demeures la même - jour et nuit, dedans/dehors Tu me fais tergiverser quand même - en demeurant si évasive Et moi je t'adore tout de même - puisque je te sais si émotive
Le coeur a ses raisons Que la raison ne comprend pas Mais moi j'ai bien plus raison qu'une émotive comme toi!
Le coeur a toujours raison Ce sont les gens qui ne comprennent pas Et toi tu as raison Quand tu laisses triompher l'émotion!
Au crépuscule l'assemblement est entamé Les gens s'entassent dans wagons et ferrys Ils se dirigent tous ainsi vers leurs corvées Et ils font alors leur choix prémédité
À l'heure du lunch ils s'empressent de sélectionner tout ce qu'il y a de plus tentant, de plus gai La taille du format est plus importante, oh oui (oh oui) que le contenu pourrait l'être, n'importe quelle journée
Ils choissisent le rectangle Ils choissisent le rectan-gle Ils choissisent le rectangle Et moi je prends le carré!
La superstar est là - prête à être adulée Trente fois la même chose vu au ciné La valeur sure est de fait bien assurée (oh oui) de pouvoir voir son succès ainsi se répété
Car les gens choissisent le rectangle Ils choissisent le rectan-gle Ils choissisent le rectangle moi je prends le carré!
L'opinion publique veut consensus, unanimité Une image bien polie - un lustre cuivré Apparence d'aisance fort bien encrée (yeah yeah) Pas cassé, pas ostracisé, et donc pas carré
Et tous choissisent le rectangle - tous choissisent le rectangle - tous choissisent le rectangle Moi je prends le carré!
Le super-sizing est une mode Et tous veuillent bien être à la mode On veut être "in" et jamais "out" Tous veuillent être hip - there is no doubt, nooooo...
(solo guitare)
Huey disait si bien qu'il est hip d'être carré Je partage cette opinion, vous le devinez... Quand vous verrez un attroupement bien distingué (oh ouais) Moi je serais avec le clan opposé! Car
Quand les autres choissisent le rectangle quand les autres choissisent le rectan-gle quand les autres choissisent le rectangle moi je prendrais le carré!
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!

Este é o meu fado
Este é o meu fa-a-do
É um fado invergonhoso
