Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac (March 12, 1922 – October 21, 1969)
He would be 92 today.
as he stated on big sur, he hated the hype and the title of king, so this documentary title does not suit his willing. nevertheless, here's a small small homage to jean.

porque não me vês, por este rio acima, 1982
//-----
Meu amor adeus
Tem cuidado
Se a dor é um espinho
Que espeta sozinho
Do outro lado
Meu bem desvairado
Tão aflito
Se a dor é um dó
Que desfaz o nó
E desata um grito
Um mau olhado
Um mal pecado
E a saudade é uma espera
É uma aflição
Se é Primavera
É um fim de Outono
Um tempo morno
É quase Verão
Em pleno Inverno
É um abandono
Porque não me vês
Maresia
Se a dor é um ciúme
Que espalha um perfume
Que me agonia
Vem me ver amor
De mansinho
Se a dor é um mar
Louco a transbordar
Noutro caminho
Quase a espraiar
Quase a afundar
E a saudade é uma espera
É uma aflição
Se é Primavera
É um fim de Outono
Um tempo morno
É quase Verão
Em pleno Inverno
É um abandono

Red House Painters - Silly Love Songs (letra de Paul & Linda McCartney)
//-----
You'd think that people would've had enough
Of silly love songs
I look around and I see
It isn't so
Some people want to fill the world
With silly love songs
What's wrong with that?
Ohhhh, how I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me
Now can you see
She gave me more
She gave love to me
What's wrong with that?
Ohhhh, how I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again
How can I tell you about
My love one
How can I tell you about
My love one
How can I tell you about
My love one
Hooooowwwww can I tell you
My, my, my
How can I tell you, you
Hooooowwwww can I tell you
My, my, my, my-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i
Ohhhhhhh, hoooooowwwww, ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhOHHHohhhh
Tell you, my, my
Can I, tell you
My love one

stereophonics - nothing compares to you
//-----
It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
since you took your love away
since you've been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant-but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby, oh where did I go wrong?
I could put my arms around every girl I see
but they'd only remind me of you
So I went to the doctor guess what he told me
-guess what he told me
he said boy you better try to have fun
no matter what you do,
but he's a fool
'cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted momma
in the backyard
all died when you went
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
but I'm willing to give it another try
When I am here I shall not mind
I shall merely murmur:
If no one comes and sees me here it will be all right
Here it is hard to believe that anything is free
Come let us lapse into freedom
Let all these things become less than dust
Let me not think at all ever
Let these things come close together
Let everything be slow and soft
Let the wind blow over the roof at noon
Let everything be soft here because there is no dust
Let anything except what is coming come
That is the way I always have felt
"«Um dia hás-de ter muito medo. Vais pensar que o medo é tanto que não consegues suportá-lo, mas consegue-se sempre. Mas antes é necessário liquidar-se a si próprio.»
[...]
Quero ser um dos vossos, recebam-me. Alegrem-se pela minha chegada. Esta noite procedi à execução de mim próprio, por isso posso agora ser outro."
