O amor nos tempos da Internet

A banda Dire Straits tem essa música — dos meus tempos adolescentes — que se encaixa perfeitamente ao momento atual: So far away (vide letra mais abaixo). Basta trocar a palavra “telephone” por MSN, Google Talk, email, Skype, Second Life, Orkut, FaceBook, etc. e você verá o quão relevante ela é…

So far away

Here I am again in this mean old town
And youre so far away from me
And where are you when the sun goes down
Youre so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
Youre so far away from me

Im tired of being in love and being all alone
When youre so far away from me
Im tired of making out on the telephone
And youre so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
Youre so far away from me

I get so tired when I have to explain
When youre so far away from me
See you been in the sun and Ive been in the rain
And youre so far away from me

So far away from me
So far I just cant see
So far away from me
Youre so far away from me
