GIRLFRIEND / HIDDEN PLACE

Hola!

Oops, hoy lamento de verdad haberme perdido 3 conciertos, el de THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN en D.F., el Sonofilia con BJÖRK en Guadalajara y el de THIEVERY CORPORATION en el D.F. La verdad andaba bien pobre y endeudado en esos tres shows, pero ni modos, por eso hoy, que he encontrado un gran amor y me llena de alegría, de paz, de mucha felicidad y más amor. Pues le dedico estos temas, 1 es de los hermanos William y Jim Reid, quienes han hecho grandes discos como Psycocandy, Honey's Dead, Automatic y mi favorito el Stoned And Dethroned. Disco donde canta la bella Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) y el resultado es todo desértico, romántico, trágico, pacheco y meloso. Las rolas se encuentran en un romanticismo pesimista y una tragedia local, que lo torna bien terrenal y melancólico. Por eso queda perfecto para lo que me pasa ahora, aunque ahora todo lo veo multicolor, con brillo y mucha luz. Les recomiendo también los temas "Til It Shines", "Sometimes Always", "Between Us", "Dirty Water" y "Come On". Al final anexo otra gran rola de la ultra famosa y talentosa cantante islandesa BJÖRK, con el temazo "Hidden Place", del cual me encanta su composición, todos los sonidos, coros, voces y obvio la letra es de las que enchina la piel. Esta mujer más que vivencial, es visceral y se las lleva en contra con mucha gente que no gusta de su tono de voz, otros que su imagen. Yo digo que es una gran artista, soy fan y le sigo la pista desde The Sugarcubes, ya que me parece genial. Y bueno, esta canción es como de mi etapa medio deprimida y tristoide, pero ahora que la escucho y lo veo todo desde afuera, me hace sentir mejor y contento. Lo recuerdo perfecto y parece que era describir la ausencia de este gran amor, nuevo y fresco que lleva el nombre de Ana, pero de cariño eres mi Annie...



THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
"Girlfriend"

Don't wanna hear about your sins
Dirty little stories about needles and skin
Don't wanna hear about how you scored
The guys who tripped, how you're dress got torn
Don't wanna speak in the same old tongue
Don't wanna bite and I don't want burned
Don't wanna live in the same old place
Got new ideas and I got new taste

Come on you are my friend
Some things will never end
We done our time and we had some fun
I want to get things done

Don't wanna hear about your sins
Dirty little stories about needles and skin
Don't wanna hear about that stuff
You've done too much but it's not enough
One more kiss turns to one more hit
Well I don't feel like kissing on it
One more hit turns to one more crash
You move too slow but it's much too fast

Come on you are my friend
Some things will never end
We done our time and we had some fun
My life has just begun

BJÖRK
"Hidden Place"

Through the warmthest
Cord of care
Your love was sent to me

I'm not sure
What to do with it
Or where to put it

I'm so close to tears
And so close to
Simply calling you up
I'm simply suggesting

We go to the hidden place
That we go to the hidden place
We go to the hidden place
We go to a hidden place

Now I have
Been slightly shy
And I can smell a pinch of hope
To almost have allowed once fingers
To stroke
The fingers I was given to touch with
But careful, careful
There lies my passion, hidden
There lies my love
I'll hide it under a blanket
Lull it to sleep

I'll keep it in a hidden place
I'll keep it in a hidden place
Keep it in a hidden place
Keep it in a hidden place

He's the beautifullest
Fragilest
Still strong
Dark and divine
And the littleness of his movements
Hides himself
He invents a charm that makes him invisible
Hides in the air
Can I hide there too?
Hide in the air of him
Seek solace
Sanctuary

In the hidden place
In a hidden place
In a hidden place
We'll stay in a hidden place
Ooohh in a hidden place
We'll live in a hidden place
We'll be in a hidden place
In a hidden place

I want to live on an abstract plain / Soon

Hola!

Hoy amanecí como si fuera 1994 o 1991!
En realidad, esto de escuchar música de esa época me trae lindos recuerdos de mi juventud y post adolescencia. Por ello, hoy las letras dedicadas a dos grandes personajes, de hecho a una gran banda y a un gran cantante, iconos del rock...
El primero es mi gran y adorable músico Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV alias FRANK BLACK, BLACK FRANCIS, líder de mi banda favorita PIXIES. Con un temazo "I Want To Live On An Abstract Plain" de su segundo álbum como solista "Teenager Of The Year". Y del otro lado, MY BLOODY VALENTINE, ese icono del rock experimental, indie y moderno de los años 90, con otro hit "Soon" de su mejor álbum para mí "Loveless". Las letras aquí, la emoción por allá. Esto es para ti, en anonimato y en silencio. Ojalá pudieras escucharlas algún día conmigo.



I WANT TO LIVE ON AN ABSTRACT PLAIN
by Frank Black

I've had it with this town
I never saw those shifting skies
I never saw the ground
Or the sunset rise
I want to live on an abstract plain

I'm building a frame
A place to put my ten-yard stare
Thinking of that paint
Painted in plein-air
I want to live on an abstract plain

I need a new adress
I want some new terrain
Is it North or South?
I want to live on an abstract plain

I could sit on the roof
On top of that abstract house
See my abstract view
An abstract mouse
I want to live on an abstract plain

I need a new address
Tell me I'm not insane
Is it up or down?
I want to live on an abstract plain
