Pimentel - R.I.P.

Two more of our Clan have crossed over to everlasting truth...

Maria Da Graça Pimentel

(com sô 41 anos de idade)

and Bernardo *Bernardinho* Pimentel

Necrologias courtesy of A Voz de Portugal - the only paper I have ever seen put the opening of a brand-new FUNERAL PARLOR as its front page news! The Portuguese know what matters the most... Indubitably. Com toda certesa. 

O Senhor Deus Todo Poderoso welcomed you with open arms, Maria Da Graça - and me, I wish I had actually been related to you... On the photo gracing the necrological article, your smile seems so angelic. That is more than I can say about several of my actual female relatives...! 

(Not in re: their smiles; rather, their angelic attributes - or lack thereof.)

As for B.P. - para dizer toda verdade, it is not quite mentioned in A Voz... But that is not really surprising, though; coming from a branch of la familia that doesn't disclose important news to those that they should, how can we blame them of having failed at the task of properly notifying the local paper too..? It must have slipped their minds...

Nâo se pode dizer nada mesmo.

As with the rest of the departees, literally every single one of those that have been mentioned here, on this lugubrious blog, and all those who were NOT, also, I can only wish this: get all the Answers, the Answers with a capital "A" - now that you've crossed over and finally gotten to the Other Side, to the Great Beyond...

Where everything is possible - where everything becomes clear...

Like R.E.M. sang (relatively) (so) well - tis the only song I truly ever liked from them: "The Great Beyond" indeed! You can listen to it (more than a few times too) on the playlist found at the very bottom of this page; scroll all the way down, do not be afraid!

And here are the words...


"The Great Beyond"

I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can't believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
There's a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

In all this talk of time
Talk is fine
But I don't want to stay around
Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Me and you with wings on our feet

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I Look into the stars
I Look into the moon

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punch lines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great, answers

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
