Sinister: Re: Brazilian sinister

[Carlos Souza]

Hi John,

Sorry for taking so long to answer.
First of all I must say that I agree completely with you when you say 
that B&S lyrics are good poetry. I think that this is the most important 
quality that they have and it's very important for us to pay atention to 
the fact that we are suffering from a very dangerous disease nowadays: 
lack of poetry in our lives. Although everybody says that B&S 
lyrics/music has just sadness, I don't think I agree with them. So, what 
do I think about their songs? I think there are melancholy, compassion, 
beauty in their songs. Their characters are so wonderfully naive, their 
songs, just like pictures of ordinary lives took by beautiful eyes. 
Well, that's it.

See you

Cadu
