Until the End of the World

DRIFTWOOD

2007-07-25T15:38:00.000-07:00

Muchas cosas han pasado desde el último post, del que literalmente, podría decir "ya llovió".

Sobre estos días nublados, lluviosos, encharcados, inundados, melancólicos y confusos, me topé con una canción maravillosa que define exactamente la sensación que me invade esta semana. Me encantó porque es una canción amable, hasta podría decir que esperanzadora, oirla me ayuda a convencerme de que, despues de todo -y soltando un poco de lastre- uno puede dejar de sentirse así, como una maderita que flota a la deriva.

Travis tocará en el palacio de los deportes este próximo jueves 2 de agosto y para los que se lo pregunten, por supuesto que me rayará oirlos -con su perfecto y limpio estilo inglés- tocar "drift wood" para mi beneplácito.

DRIFTWOOD
Travis

Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to oceans
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges burn

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

Nobody is an island
Everyone had to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butter flying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow

And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time

Everywhere there's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shoveling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood, hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

And you really didn't think it would happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you've turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting, for a long, long
Drifting for a long, long time

LUZ DE ESTRELLA

2006-12-18T12:58:00.000-08:00

Hace unos dias la luz de una estrella comenzó a iluminar mi vida.
Es verdad, las cosas no suceden cuando tu las quieres, sino cuando estas listo para recibirlas...
La canción de la semana, como el primer pensamiento del dia es para ti...

STARLIGHT
Muse

Far away
The ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let’s conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away...

Un, Dos, Tres... Catorce!

La cancion de la semana

Los matones vienen a México el próximo 13 de dic y aunque los ticketes estan caritos, creo que valdra la pena ir para escuchar esta cancion:

READ MY MIND

The killers

On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on and
You say I'm falling behind

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The good old days, the honest man;
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees;
A broken wrist and a big trapeze

Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?

It’s funny how you just break down
Waitin' on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soakin' my spine

Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?

The teenage queen, the loaded gun;
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, a world unseen;
A city wall and a trampoline

Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go
Tell me what you find when you read my mind

Slippin’ in my faith until I fall
You never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again

She said
Oh well I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me

The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind

A VECES NOS GUSTARIA QUE ALGUNAS PERSONAS PUDIERAN LEER NUESTRA MENTE, SIMPLEMENTE PORQUE NOS FALTA VALOR PARA DECIR LAS COSAS TAL COMO SON... ESTA CANCION TIENE DEDICATORIA ESPECIAL PARA TI... QUE ESTOS ULTIMOS DIAS NO HAS SALIDO DE MI PENSAMIENTO.

Bienvenidos!!

Y volviendose hacia el zorro:
-Adios- le dijo.
-Adios- le contestó el zorro.
Este es mi secreto, muy sencillo: sólo se ve bien con el corazón, lo esencial es invisible a los ojos.
-Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos- repitió el principito para recordarlo.
-El tiempo que perdiste con tu rosa es lo que la hace tan importante.
Los hombres han olvidado esta verdad -dijo el zorro- Pero tú no lo debes olvidarla.
Eres responsable para siempre de lo que has domesticado. Eres responsable de tu rosa...

"Domesticar" significa crear lazos. =)
