Em busca da manhã que se foi embora

Caminhava pelo quintal sob a “neve” de pétalas da jabuticabeira. De repente, uma melodia antiga cruzou o ar. Parei. Era Just Fall in Love Again. A trilha sonora secreta do meu segundo romance, Vermelho por Dentro.

Na época da criação, eu ouvia essa música em looping. Era o meu portal. A voz de Anne Murray me jogava direto no mundo de Deborah Bodeh. Escrevia no piloto automático do coração.

Deborah era pura intensidade. Uma artista apaixonada que não carregava o peso de nenhum arrependimento. Sabia o preço de cada escolha feita no passado.

Ouvir a música hoje fez meu corpo flutuar de volta para o tempo em que a minha realidade e a ficção colidiam. Deborah viveu uma vida inteira trancada nas minhas páginas. Se ela ganhasse carne e osso, por onde andaria hoje?

Gosto de pensar que ela caminha livre pelas calçadas de Paris. Está acompanhada de Eva, sua mãe. E de Lucca — este sim, um homem assombrado por tudo o que não teve coragem de ser. O avesso perfeito de Deborah.

Anne Murray’s Stage Presence and Performance Style During the 1970s

The article looks back at Canadian singer Anne Murray’s live performances during the 1970s, a decade in which she became an international music star through hits such as “Snowbird,” “Danny’s Song,” and “You Needed Me.” Murray, who sold more than 55 million albums throughout her career and won four Grammy Awards, developed a stage presence that contrasted sharply with many of the glamorous pop stars of the era. Rather than relying on elaborate costumes or theatrical performances, she embraced a simple and approachable image that reflected her Nova Scotia roots and former career as a physical education teacher. Her typical stage wardrobe included bell-bottom jeans, casual shirts, pantsuits, and sneakers, complemented by her recognizable short hairstyle. The article emphasizes that Murray’s performances were centered on her vocal abilities rather than visual spectacle. Audiences and critics frequently praised her rich contralto voice and her ability to reproduce the same quality and emotional depth heard on her studio recordings. Beyond her singing, Murray connected with audiences through her relaxed personality, often sharing humorous stories and engaging in informal conversations between songs. Her concerts combined elements of country, pop, and folk music, supported by a professional touring band that allowed smooth transitions between different musical styles. The collection of photographs highlighted in the article captures Murray’s authentic and understated stage presence, illustrating how her natural charm, vocal excellence, and relatable personality helped define her success throughout the 1970s.
