Luminous 20th
This luminous song
celebrates its 20th anniversary
in 2025...
WOW.
Seems like... yesterday
...when I was playing it...
in my bachelor's pad...
in my childhood bedroom...
in my soon-to-be
empty room.
And that - on another wall:
I used to think the song
to be very imbued of itself
and the lyrics to say
"fill my room with this song"
when it appears to be
WITH THE SUN instead...!
TRULY
A LUMINOUS SONG
And so very appropriate
as in-sync with my decor
and personal library...
I decorated it myself. Yes.
All based on my eclectic tastes. Si.
My prerogative. COM CERTESA!
This was my FAMILIA's contribution.
Also part of my eclectic tastes, mind you!
AMEN!
Always thought I had an Irish side...
It is that side that wouldn't dust off often.
I STILL HAVE THAT PLANT.
AQUAMAN - THE KING.
Me... even if I pretend to the crown of Portugal...
I looked just like Superman on that cover.
Always loved the sea... Sanitas Per Aquam... and Mean Gene.
This was one of my favorite books -
encouraged by my once-mentor, Pietro Boglioni,
to read it...
Rest In Peace, Mr. Boglioni
Aye, that room is now EMPTY.
But not for THAT reason...!
So many have used this song... this MASTERPIECE...
A single song was enough to ensure the future of
every member of MARJORIE FAIR, the band
behind this gem. And every time it is used,
no matter who is using it (well or not)
we can all relate to it -
we can all think of
OUR OWN EMPTY ROOM.
Sempre Por O Melhor
