Les Miserables - Soundtrack release
Music
«LES MISERABLES: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK»
Will be edited at 14th of January
Once a time in life, a musical ascends from his area and become a true legend. «Les Miserables», one of the most acclaimed show on all the planet, was seen for more than 60 million people in 42 countries and showed in 21 languages on the whole world - and, 28 years later after it's debut, continues to be a break box office.
In January, the lengthy musical of all times, will carry his intensity to the big screen: Hugh Jackman, the oscared Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway lead a cast full of stars on this cinematographic adaptation of one of the biggest phenomenon success in musicals.
Directed by Tom Hooper, the director that was distinguished with an oscar for his work in «King's Speech», and with the production of Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh, the movie counts with the participation of Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit and Samantha Barks, besides of Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
The Soundtrack will be edited in the 14th of Januaryby Polydor Records.
The movie premiere will be at 3rd of January.
The sublime and spectacular interpretation of Tom Hooper of the mythical work of Victor Hugo explores a new path in which the cast spontaneously sings alive during the footage, on instead of acting with playbacks.
This is the first time that this technique is used in a big movie and, Hooper said «has a profound effect in the empowering and the reality in the story».
Having as background France from XIX century, «Les Miserables» tells us a breathtaking adventure of broken dreams and non matched loves, passion, sacrifice and redemption, in a timeless demonstration of the ability of survival in the human spirit. Jackman represents the ex-convict Jean Valjean that, after his release from jail, he is persecuted for decades by the ruthless detective Javert (Crowe). But, as soon as Valjean agrees to take care of the little daughter of the worker (Hathaway), their lives change for ever.
With all the action focused in a group of outcasts united by the challenge towards corruption and the requirement for change, Victor Hugo's tale presented 150 years ago, has been inspiring the whole world in one of the most lengthy musical of all times.
Now, «Les Miserables» comes to the big screen with a huge energy, from the interpretation of Hooper of this epic classic.
With all the international superstars and with beloved songs adored in all the globe, and amongst them «I Dreamed a Dream», «Bring Him Home», «One Day More» and «On My Own», the show of the shows reborns in a cinematographic musical experience truly unforgettable.

True Story World War II
Beside my passion for History...the passion for the human mind can be studied also by the constant fight for power by the man in our world.
Greed leads to the bad use of intelligence creating Wars!
And yes... i love reading about the 2 world wars! (I guarantee that the Nazi eagle of Hitler it's big and imponent, if it wasn't for another purpose that it was made, i admit its really beautiful, can be seen in London, in the Imperial War Museum, i advise to check it out!!).

Pedro Abrunhosa

26th of November
“Half a dozen records for a dozen and half years.
Obviously taking the criativity, live performances, remixes, singles and collaborations.
It my sound little - a new album every three years.

It means: there is no lack, deficiency or failure, or even any slowing in the intensity of Pedro's songs, here reunited to illustrate an amazing cycle, that started the promises in “Viagens” and ended in “Longe”, without the risk of not staying here.
The words are from João Gobern.
The words are from João Gobern.
The journalist wrote the text that accompanies this special edition and continues like this:
“Since Abrunhosa putted the country dancing and thinking, getting responses and acting, with “Não Posso +”, “Lua”, “É Preciso Ter Calma”, the world changed radically.
And Abrunhosa changed with the world, besides of had contributted, in a warrior mode and romantic, to change the world.
He always gave, as a guide, one word at the time: “Tempo”, “Silêncio”, “Momento”, “Luz”.
Gaves us as always, a script, a word can have a 1000 meanings, that everyone can call to each one, like a intimate place as well as in public space.(...)"
Now for the first time, reunited in one place, the 6 studio cds of Pedro Abrunhosa - “Viagens” (1994), “Tempo” (1996), “Silêncio” (1999), “Momento” (2002), “Luz” (2007), “Longe” (2010) - all in one Deluxe Box.

The Lumineers - Ho Hey (Official Video)
I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed,
I've been sleeping in my bed
So show me family
all the blood that i will bleed
I dunno where I belong
I dunno where I went wrong,
but I can write a song
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweet
I don't think you're right for him
think of what it might have been if you
took a bus to Chinatown
I'd be standing on canal
and bowery
and she'd be standing next to me
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
And love, we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause oh, we're bleeding out
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
you're my sweet
