Lyrics, melody and chords in real book format
and mp3 of "Our silent world"
A world that becomes another overnight with an
exponential vertigo .. increasingly violence, greed, selfishness and injustice
... less and less peace, solidarity, love and justice.
A humanity feel that improve by the hand of technological advances, without
perceiving that every day is dipping into a second middle age.
Did the Romans thought that their powerful empire sustained by their bountiful
riches and amazing technological advances as soon fall into an abyss of a
thousand years of darkness?
Absolutely not.
And like the Romans, our civilization, our silent world, is currently being
dominated by the same arrogance that pushes us to the edge of the precipice
believing that we know how to fly.
Yearning for a world that no longer exists, and having the Bossa Nova as an
evidence and anthem of "the society of the dying romantics", lost in a world
whose values have been badly shuffled, forgotten on a planet that bleeds in
disasters caused by human greed.
As I said on other occasions, the bossa nova is synonymous of nature, love and
peace, bossa nova is a cult of the beauty.
Arguably the bossa nova has lost its place in that new and ruined world. I
prefer to say that this new and ruined world has lost its place in the bossa
nova.
A crying, loneliness shared in an urban sunrise, sunless, smogged, walking
aimlessly towards an imminent end ... walking dazed by the unbearable noise of a
world inhabited by silent souls. The bossa nova giving its subtle an final
warning.
