Seu Jorge Lyrics
Muito tempo eu fico
A viver pelos mares
Mergulhando profundo
Em recifes e corais
Minha missão nesse mundo
É Pesquisar animais
Mergulhando no escuro
Com perigos reais
E por isso agora
Que eu cheguei aqui
Nada vai me tentar a fazer desistir
Eu não posso dormir
Com você nos meus sonhos
Já conheço seu dorso
Seu olhar tão medonho
E é sem ar que eu fico
Há Muito tempo eu fico
E Nunca fico rico
Aí por isso eu grito
Hoje eu te frito
Sob o mar ou horizonte
Fico a admirar no cais
Quando o vento está calmo
Tudo fica em paz
Eu estou nesta trilha
E Não sei quanto tempo faz
Eu não vejo sentido
Mais nos meus ideias
E agora que eu fiz um acorde maior
Pra cantar pra você
Minha angústia e dor
Não me deixe aqui
Sem carinho e só
Venha viver comigo
Venha ser meu amor
Porque eu não vivo há
Five years
Quase não vi nada nesses
Five years
Estar no mar azul é meu viver há
Five years
Ir de norte a sul é minha sina há
Five years
Porque eu não vivo há
Five years
Quase não vi nada nesses
Five years
Estar no mar azul é meu viver há
Five years
Ir de norte a sul é minha sina há
Five years
Porque eu não vivo há
Five years
Quase não vi nada nesses
Five years
Estar no mar azul é minha sina há
Five years
Ir de norte a sul é meu viver há
Five years
Uh
Five years

Nesse CD dele estão adaptações de músicas de David Bowie para esse filme em particular. Tanto letra, quanto situação são relacionadas com o personagem Steve Zissou do filme. Só que ritmos das músicas de David Bowie. Muito bom o CD e o cara canta muito. Assita o filme, velhinho, muito bom.
INHESO db
Album 100% patrician e erudito, quem discorda e acha que tá um puta crítico rockeiro mas tem a mesma percepção musical de um brasileiro médio q se entope de sertanejo universitário e pagode e ouve qualquer outro ritmo com desgosto.
O álbum tem o contexto do filme, mas também pode ter suas letras adaptadas pra um album conceitual, é óbvio que não deveria ter letras 100% fiés ao Bowie, mas se é disso que vocês reclamam, a música Rock'n'Roll Suicide é um exemplo fiel a composição original, e nos comentários dessa musica Youtube se vê um monte de jênios reclamando da letra só por preconceito com o novo.
Felipe Frota
A sina de muitos brasileiros que tentam fazer um trabalho diferente é ser apreciado por não brasileiros e apedrejado por próprios brasileiros. Não atoa esse país carece de mais artistas ousados.

Steve Zissou and the Life Aquatic is the name of the flick. As a bonus, Mark Mothersbaugh from DEVO does the musical score. Enjoy!
