Hoje [ou ontem...] lembrei-me de uma música que não ouvia há muito tempo: "Me and my big ideas" foi um tema escrito dos Tears for Fears para um album que não foi bem sucedido ["Raoul and the Kings of Spain"] - o título é poderoso, a letra também mas a música com o dueto vocal entre Roland Orzabal e Oleta Adams torna-a... maior.

Fica a letra e um vídeo que apanhei no YouTube:

Me and My Big Ideas

Me and my big ideas
Won't wash away your tears
No one else seems to mind
That I'm not that kind

Go get a volunteer
We'll pay him well my dear
He will see inside your mind
Because he is that kind

It's a southern kind of heat
The shadows crack and start to creep
Conversation drags its feet
I wish we'd both been more discreet
Like light that is caught between night and day
You're stuck between me and my

Me and my big ideas
Won't wash away your tears
So many strings to your bow
Why not let one go

Well they love you when you're weak
Bet they hate to see this winning streak
It's that thing we call control
There's a deep frustration in their soul
Black thoughts
That are stuck between someone's earsv Like me and my big ideas

So many strings to your bow
Why not let one go
In a way this dream is over
Blown away our four leaf clover

There's no reason why
Me and my big ideas
Won't wash away your tears
No one else seems to mind
That I'm not that kind
