Thanks to specialized radio programs I’ve been able to understand and love Jazz music, while discovering artists unknown for me. For example, at Area Reservada I heard this amazing track.

Tarantino used it at his Jackie Brown’s movie (watch it).

I still hang around neither lost nor found. Hear the lonely sound of music in the night.
Nights are always bright. That’s all that’s left for me, yeah.

I play the street life because there’s no place I can go. Street life, it’s the only way I know.
Street life, and there’s a thousand cards to play until you play your life away.

You let the people see just who you want to be. And every night you shine just like a super star.
That’s how the life is played, a ten cent Masquerade. You dress, and walk, and talk. You’re who you think you are.

Street life, you can run away from time, for a nickel, for a dime.
Street life, but you better not get old or you’re gonna feel the cold.

There’s always love for sale a grown up fairy tale. Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon. And if you keep t young, your song is always sung. Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon.

Street life, street life, street life, oh street life.
