SELECCIÓN MUSICAL DE VESANIA

SÁBADO DE POESÍA.-

Las bajas temperaturas, y los muchos kilómetros hechos ultimamente, amén de las nevadas y heladas en las carreteras me han acabado destemplando y arrojándome al sofá y al portátil en este sábado en el que estoy para pocos carnavales la verdad. En todo caso, nunca me ha gustado disfrazarme, así que me temo que prefiero mil veces este sábado casero que me he sacado de la manga en el último momento.

He cogido viejos libros de poesía que tenía amontonados en las estanterías, bajo libros más recientes de maternidades y psicología infantil, y fotos y fotos y más fotos que han recubierto los estantes los últimos años.

Os dejo algunos párrafos para acompañar traquilamente este sábado helador que nos deja febrero.

Os recomiendo encarecidamente el vídeo: la música, el baile del agua, el vídeo en sí.... merece la pena. Es Fever Ray: When I Grow Up...

Ya me diréis. Un beso.

Beatriz Hernanz Angulo.-

*De "La lealtad del espejo" 1993

...................................(...) Limpia de ligaduras, me arrojo por la escalera de tus ojos.
En mis párpados madura un motín de encrucijadas.

...................................Paredes de luna detienen todos los relojes...

Paredes de luna detienen todos los relojes.
En los bosques más cansados de tus ojos
anidé mi palabra, con inhóspito sigilo.
Pronuncio espejos con las manos delgadas de tristeza.
Es el limo de los verbos y la espuma de la carne,
un sol de sílabas y claveles de bolsillo.
Con duda maestra navegué en silencio por tu ombligo.

*De "La vigilia del tiempo" 1996

...................................Un aroma de sangre oceánica...

Un aroma de sangre oceánica,
cereal de los tiempos sin lunas,
emerge como la ley, como la selva,
como la piedra que crece en un vientre
y despierta el futuro de la carne.
Cómo no sucumbir al deseo que perece
inmóvil en la frente suplicante de los ángeles,
cómo no reconocer el llanto vegetal del miedo,
cómo no derrotar al veneno aterido de la muerte.

 

Letra de la canción When I Grow Up de Fever Ray:

When I Grow Up

When I grow up
I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That’s what I’ll do
Throwing out a boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up
I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That’s what I’ll have
Staring at a seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul into what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
With dog eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way back
I’ve never liked that sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

I’m very good with plants
When my friends are away
They let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
For a minute or two
Then back on my feet to call for you

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothing
Waiting for a moment to arise
The face in the ceiling
And arms too long
I’m waiting for him to catch me

PORCUPINE TREE.- Collapse the light into earth.

Porcupine Tree empezó como una banda de rock ficticia en 1987, entre Steven Wilson y Malcolm Stocks. Inspirados por los grupos predominantes durante su juventud, como Pink Floyd, . Se inventaron toda un biografía de sus miembros y compusieron canciones hasta que lo sellos discográficos repararon en ellos.

 

Os dejo esta canción que me encanta y el acceso a la página oficial de Porcupine Tree. Disfrutadla.

Collapse The Light Into Earth

I won't shiver in the cold
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark
And I won't forget you when we part

Collapse the Light Into Earth

I won't heal given time
I won't try to change your mind
I won't feel better in the cold light of day
But I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay

Collapse the Light Into Earth

DJ Earworm

Raúl Minchinela me "chiva" esto por le twitter, y aunque yo no soy mucho de ése tipo de música reconozco que me ha encantado la mezcla que les ha salido y lo bien que está trabajado el video.

EBBA FORSBERG

EPK.

Una preciosa canción de esta cantante sueca. Ultimamente estoy descubriendo verdaderas joyas entre la música de ese país, muy curioso. :-)

THE OFFSPRING.- PRETTY FLY

Bueno, y ahora algo más movido, con esta canción me emociono y todo, lo que la habré saltado (y empujado) en mis noches interminables en La Recogida ;-)

ayys, qué tiempos!!! :-)

The Offspring es una banda de rock estadounidense, formada en Orange County, California, en 1984.

La banda ha sido una de las más influyentes en el resurgir del pop punk, abanderando la escena californiana de dichos géneros junto a Green Day, blink-182, Rancid y NOFX a comienzos y mediados de los 90. Han vendido alrededor de 46 millones de copias en todo el mundo a lo largo de toda su discografía,[4] de los cuales 14,5 millones son solamente copias despachadas en los Estados Unidos, cuya cúspide comercial y artística la lograron con el aclamado Smash de 1994 (fundamental, junto a Dookie de Green Day, en la revolución anteriormente mencionada), el álbum bajo sello independiente más vendido de la historia, 16 millones de copias.

Después de Smash tuvo una gran aceptación Ixnay On The Hombre (1997), y sobre todo Americana (1998), que alcanzó las 13 millones de copias en todo el mundo, a pesar de ello, recibió críticas de ser un disco demasiado comercial

 

Os dejo con Pretty Fly, :-)

 

Montag Lieben Lauten Loben
Give it to me baby,
Uh-huh uh-huh
Give it to me baby,
Uh-huh uh-huh
Give it to me baby
Uh-huh uh-huh
And all the girlies say I’m pretty fly for a white guy

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

You know it’s kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our subject isn’t cool
But he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue
And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well he makes up in denial

So don’t debate, play it straight
You know he really doesn’t get it anyway
Gonna play the field, keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don’t rate, just overcompensate
At least you’ll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabees, so (hey, hey)
Do that brand new thing

Give it to me baby,
Uh-huh uh-huh
Give it to me baby,
Uh-huh uh-huh
Give it to me baby
Uh-huh uh-huh
And all the girlies say I’m pretty fly for a white guy

He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn’t have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his pinto,
He sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice
They’re gonna kick his lily ass

So don’t debate, play it straight
you know he really doesn’t get it anyway
gonna play the field, keep it real
But for you no way, for you no way
So if you don’t rate, just overcompensate
At least you’ll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world loves wannabees, so (hey, hey)
Do that brand new thing


Now he’s getting a tattoo, yeah
He’s gettin’ ink done
He asked for a "13" but they drew a "31"
Friends say he’s trying too hard
And he’s not quite hip
But in his own mind
He’s the, he’s the dopest trip

Give it to me baby,
Uh-huh uh-huh
Give it to me baby,
Uh-huh uh-huh
Give it to me baby
Uh-huh uh-huh

Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, cinco, seis

So don’t debate, play it straight
you know he really doesn’t get it anyway
gonna play the field, keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don’t rate, just overcompensate
At least you’ll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabes
The world loves wannabes
Let’s get some more wannabes (hey, hey)
Do that brand new thing

PEARL JAM.- LAST KISS.

Pearl Jam es una banda de rock procedente de Seattle, Estados Unidos, y una de las líderes del movimiento grunge a principios de la década de los 90. A pesar de que otros grupos de dicho movimiento han desaparecido,[2] Pearl Jam se mantiene en un lugar sólido, contando ya con más de quince años de carrera y nueve álbumes de estudio grabados hasta la fecha.

A mí curiosamente, a pesar de que soy una entusiasta de lo que se denominó grunge, y más concretamente "sonido de Seatle" no eran de mis favoritos, y he tenido que rebuscar un poquito para poneros una que me guste especialmente, porque eso sí, en esta recopilación personal, es cierto, que Pearl Jam no podía faltar.

Os dejo con Last Kiss, muy triste la letra, pero bueno, nos quedamos con la música ;-)

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
We hadn't driven very far.
There in the road straight ahead,
A car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right,
I'll never forget the sound that night.
The screaming tires, the busting glass,
The painful scream that I heard last.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

When I woke up, the rain was pouring down,
There were people standing all around.
Something warm flowing through my eyes,
But somehow I found my baby that night.
I lifted her head, she looked at me and said;
"Hold me darling just a little while."
I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed.
Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight,
I lost my love, my life that night.

Oh where, oh where, can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.

 

BUSH.- GLYCERINE.

Bush fue una banda inglesa de post-grunge formada en 1992, en Londres considerada la pionera del genero post grunge. Su álbum de debut fue Sixteen Stone, en 1994. Llamados Bush por el distrito londinense de Sheperd's Bush.

Hoy os dejo, Glycerine, que me gusta un montón.

Must be your skin that i'm sinking in
Must be for real cuz now i can feel
And i didn't mind
It's not my kind
Not my time to wonder why
Everything's gone white
And everything's grey
Now you're here now you're away
I don't want this
Remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it's like strawberry fields
If i treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn't love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though i wanted to
Could have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine (repeat)
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine
Bad moon white again
Bad moon white again
And she falls around me
I needed you more
You wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
That's just fine
That's just one of my names
Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you
Glycerine

Dinosaur Jr es una banda estadounidense de rock alternativo, formados oficialmente en 1983 por J. Mascis y Lou Barlow. Fueron una de las bandas fundamentales del noise pop al igual que Pixies y Sonic Youth, y junto con ellos influyeron considerablemente a la explosión del grunge en los ’90. En Estados Unidos, Dinosaur Jr son conocidos por canciones como "The Wagon" (1991) y "Feel the Pain" (1994).

Hoy os dejo la de Feel the Pain, que me gusta más. Besos.

I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
Is it up to me?
You won't wait to see
Screwed us both again
But that's as close as we've been
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
I feel the pain of everyone
Then I feel nothing
Is it up to me?
You won't wait to see
Screwed us both again
But that's as close as we've been
Hey now, take it back
Get off of your sack
Trailin' on your scene
Just try to keep it clean

 

BAND OF HORSES.-

Band of Horses, conocidos en sus primeros días simplemente como Horses, son un grupo de indie rock originario de la ciudad de Seattle en los Estados Unidos. (otros de Seatle ;-))

Página oficial de Band Of Horses.

A mí me gusta, The Funeral. Vale, vale, reconozco que la letra es un poco asín asín, pero es una canción preciosa aún  con todo. :-)

I’m coming up only to hold you under
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it’s all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I’ll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I’m ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I’m coming up only to show you down for
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For’e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I’ll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I’m ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

A mí, es que me fascina esta canción.

 

Please put me to sleep
If there’s room beneath your feet
See, I left my home
I could not get used to living alone

Put me to rest
Lay your head on my chest
Hold my hand
When you leave
Don’t wake me up
Just to see how you say goodbye

Maybe I could be yours
Maybe you could be mine
God, I waited so long
Maybe my time has come
To walk by your side

Please put me at ease
Now my soul is ready for peace
Give me the lover’s curse
Now I am ready for you
My rebel, my hope

Maybe I could be yours
Maybe you could be mine
God, I waited so long
Maybe my time has come
To walk by your side

Maybe I could be yours
Maybe you could be mine
Maybe I could be yours
God, I waited so long
To walk by your side
God, I waited so long
To walk by your side

LETRA TRADUCIDA (by Angel Moraga, muchas gracias ;-))

por favor, ponme a dormir
si hay sitio entre tus pies
Mira, dejé mi hogar
No podría aostumbrarme a vivir sola

Ponme a descansar
apoya tu cabeza en mi pecho
Toma mi mano
Cuando te vayas
No me despiertes
Solamente para ver cómo dices adiós

Quizás podría ser tuya
Quizás podrías ser mío
Dios, he esperado tanto
Quizás mi hora ha llegado
Para caminar a tu lado

Por favor, tranquilizame
Ahora mi alma está lista para la paz
Dame la maldición del amante
Ahora estoy lista para ti
Mi rebelde, mi esperanza

Quizás podría ser tuya
Quizás podrías ser mío
Dios, he esperado tanto
Quizás mi hora ha llegado
Para caminar a tu lado

 

 

TAKE ME OUT.- FRANZ FERDINAND.

So if you’re lonely
You know I’m here waiting for you
I’m just a crosshair
I’m just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered, I lie
I’m just a crosshair
I’m just a shot, then we can die

I know I won’t be leaving here with you

I say don’t you know
You say you don’t know
I say... take me out!

I say you don’t show
Don’t move, time is slow
I say... take me out!

I say you don’t know
You say you don’t know
I say... take me out!

If I move this could die
If eyes move this could die
I want you...to take me out!

I know I won’t be leaving here (with you)
I know I won’t be leaving here
I know I won’t be leaving here (with you)
I know I won’t be leaving here with you

I say don’t you know?
You say you don’t know
I say take me out

If I wane, this can die
If I wane, this can die
I want you to take me out

If I move, this could die
If eyes move, this could die
Come on, take me out

ABOUT A GIRL.- NIRVANA.

i need an easy friend

i’ll take advantage while
you hang me out to dry
but i can’t see you every night for free

i’m standing in your line
i do ... hope you have the time
i do ... pick a number too
i do ... keep a date with you


i’ll take advantage while
you hang me out to dry
but I can’t see you every night for free

but I can’t see you every night (x2)
for free
i do ... (x4)

sweet child of mine.- GNR

Hace muchísimos años, los maravillosos acordes del principio de esta canción bastaban para hacerme sonreír. Hoy la quiero traer aquí, para empezar este mes de septiembre en el blog. Un beso.

She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and cry
Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o’ mine

TRADUCCION

(Dulce Niña Mia)

Ella tiene una sonrisa
que me hace rememorar recuerdos infantiles
donde todo
era tan fresco como el brillante cielo azul
y de vez en cuando al mirar su rostro
me lleva a ese lugar especial
y si lo mirase demasiado tiempo
probablemente me quebrase y lloraría

Dulce niña mia
Dulce amor mio

Tienes ojos del mas azul de los cielos
como si pensaran en la lluvia
Odio mirar en esos ojos
y ver un poquito de dolor
su cabello me recuerda
a un lugar cálido y seguro
donde como un niño me esconderia
y rezaria porque el trueno
y la lluvia
pasaran mansamente sobre mi

Dulce niña mia
Dulce amor mio

A donde vamos
A donde vamos ahora
A donde vamos
Dulce niña mia
