An elephant never forgets
Standing in the concrete cave
Swaying side and sing

    Not attracted to man-eaters at all, but I dig Neko. (-:

    li um grande poema do fabiano calixto – "do tempo" – e um dos versos menciona: "o que estamparam os jornais: um elefante jamais esquece". neko fala exatamente sobre isso, mas não para ilustrar a memória de uma relação passada (caso do poema), e sim para falar que as pessoas são mesmo muito caras de pau: domesticam animais selvagens, colocam baleias em piscinas, e se espantam quando um deles as ataca – "eu devoro homens/ mas você ainda se surpreende quando eu te devoro". trata-se de uma música imprevisível e macabra, e ainda completamente mística – seu estranho desapego à linearidade faz dela uma colagem de destroços, um acidente inexplicável, e sua caixa-preta está no assoalho do oceano, onde baleias assassinas podem finalmente ser naturalmente assassinas. um curta do apichatpong weerasethakul de apenas 2 minutos e 34 segundos, enfim: "it will end again in moonlit song" – o verdadeiro mal dos trópicos.

    I thought the same thing. I just heard this song for the first time a few days ago, and I cringed when I got to that part.

    Listening to this song, I am strangely reminded of "Standing Still" by Jewel.
