E agora páro o carro e uma vastidão imensa de horizontes. A estrada são duas linhas infinitas a desaparecer na aridez ao longe. Saio para o ar quente parado e o mundo suspenso a toda a volta. Subitamente, no carro, o rádio enrouquece a voz de Lucinda Williams – “I am waiting for your essence”. E é aqui que eu quero ficar - com toda esta luz, todo este silêncio. Todo este céu.

A quietude do mundo

Cd 1, faixa 6 do novo álbum, "Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart", Rachel Yamagata sussurra uma melodia fabulosa que se derrete depois na voz de Ray Lamontagne: "We'll be back soon as we make history".


Rachel Yamagata, "Duet"

Oh Lover, hold on
'till I come back again
For these arms are growin' tired
And my tales are wearing thin

If you're patient I will surprise
When you wake up I'll have come

All the anger will settle down
And we'll go do all the things we should have done

Yes I remember what we said
As we lay down to bed
I'll be here if you will only come back home

Oh lover, I'm lost
Because the road I've chosen beckens me away

Oh lover, don't you rome
Now I'm fighting words I never thought I'd say

But I remember what we said
As we lay down to bed
I'll forgive you oh
If you just come back home

Oh lover, I'm old
You'll be out there and be thinking just of me

And I will find you down the road
And will return back home to where we're meant to be

'cause I remember what we said
As we lay down to bed
We'll be back soon as we make history.
