Pantera - Baudelaire
Let's all get some Baudelaire! It's been 10 years I can't really go around Nietzsche's ideas... Baudelaire is the incarnation of some of Nietzsche's ideas. The inversion of the (wrong) dichotomies between good and evil and between Apollonian and Dionysian are everywhere in Baudelaire's poems. This is just the start of his giant book:
Si le viol, le poison, le poignard, l'incendie,
N'ont pas encore brodé de leurs plaisants dessins
Le canevas banal de nos piteux destins,
C'est que notre âme, hélas! n'est pas assez hardie.
English translation (taken from wikipedia):
If rape and poison, dagger and burning,
Have still not embroidered their pleasant designs
On the banal canvas of our pitiable destinies,
It's because our souls, alas, are not bold enough!
This is a farewell to the most beautiful _non classic_ songs ever. Who said it has to be beautiful? What's beauty? Fuck off! Play it loud and bang your fucking head!

Alfama
After travelling so much... I don't really feel Portuguese. I see Portuguese people just as I see Brazilians, or Timorese, or Indians.
Nevertheless, and in complete contradiction, there's something that I can't really share with most of the Portuguese people I know, that is, Portuguese culture, that is, Portuguese poetry and Portuguese music.

Runners up are Saudades de Coimbra:

O mundo é um moinho
Ouço a música e um soluço de choro, um só. É um choro de beleza.
Viajar deu resultado. No início cantava Preciso me Encontrar. No final cantava O mundo é um moinho.
E no final estava em paz com o mundo, o moinho. Agora que comecei a trabalhar sei-me parte desse moinho, mas não sinto. Os sentimentos ajudaram-me a entender. Agora não tenho tempo para sentir. Tenho-me divertido a produzir. Estas duas componentes são ambas partes fundamentais para o sorriso.
No entanto, receio que a beleza que ficou da viagem desapareça da memória, e as memórias de viagem se apaguem, e os sentimentos. E esta vontade de chorar de beleza. E esta memória de beleza do Brasil, Índia, Timor, Colômbia, se vá. Aí terei de repetir tudo. De partir em viagem outra vez e voltar a encontrar a paz...
