1994 o incrível ano em que o verão durou o ano inteiro em Recife.

Eu devia me formar em 95 mas não tava preocupada com a faculdade nessa época, mais uma prova de que não sou nerd (vou morrer negando). Era verão e para sempre, coisas que só o aquecimento global, o fim da camada de ozônio e o El ninõ puderam oferecer para nossa geração, era o máximo!

Naquele ano, minha irmã mais nova namorava o integrante de uma banda de Rock. E eles faziam covers Nirvana, REM, Pearl Jam, Pixies, talvez ele tivessem alguma composição própria também , não sei, eu amava os covers. E todos amávamos os Ramones (amo ainda) a cena mangue estava no auge já que Chico Science tinha ganhado projeção nacional... Tudo era música e preferencialmente Rock no Recife.

Nessa época eu já conhecia o REM dos clichês Losing my religion, Radio song do álbum Out of Time, mas os meninos conheciam mais, e derreti de amores pelo rock do REM, do Pixies e do Pearl Jam, e ouvia incansavelmente todos eles, como se não houvesse amanhã.

Gardening at Night. Amo! Essa música me traz de volta o cheiro e a felicidade daquela época. O cheiro do verão do Recife, passar o dia na praia torrando, com o corpo salgado dos banhos de mar! Que saudade do mar, do cheiro, do som, da visão! Os dias na praia eram tudo de bom!

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes.
Somewhere it must be time for penitence. Gardening at night is never where.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night.

The neighbors go to bed at ten.
Call the prayer line for a change.
The charge is changing every month.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up, not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night

Your sister said that you're too young.
They should know they've been there twice.
The call was 2 and 51.
They said it couldn't be arranged.

I see your money on the floor, I felt the pocket change.
Though all the feelings that broke through that door
just didn't seem to be too real.
We ankled up the garbage sound, but they were busy in the rows.
We fell up not to see the sun, gardening at night just didn't grow.
Gardening at night. Gardening at night. Gardening at night
