Primeiro Contacto...

Após a explicitação do quadro temático subjacente aos elementos da Comunicação Visual e das respectivas técnicas, foi-nos proposto pela docente a realização de um trabalho que se centrasse na escolha de um tema musical que, mais tarde, seria utilizada como "fonte de inspiração" para a criação de uma capa de CD.

Posto isto, o tema musical escolhido é Grace Kelly, cujo cantor é Mika, extraída do álbum NapsterLive (2006). A escolha deste tema foi bastante influenciada pela sua mensagem que através de questões retóricas e críticas na 1ª pessoa do singular demonstram a superação de uma crise de identidade. A sua musicalidade também se mostrou interessante o que, rapidamente, levou ao surgimento de ideias relacionadas com o tema.


Mika - Grace Kelly 


 I wanna talk to you
The last time we talked Mr. Smith
you reduced me to tears
I promise you that wont happen again!

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!


I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Getting angry doesn't solve anything

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Getting angry doesn't solve anything

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on your shelf?

I tried to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I tried a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says
you should want, you want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Walk out the door!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Walk out the door!
