♥: A Dream Between You And Me, Future Islands

25 Dic

I wrestled by the sea
A loneliness in me
I asked myself for peace
And found it at my feet
Staring at the sea…

All that glitters is gold
Don’t believe what you’ve been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies in every soul

I wrestled by the sea
A dream of you and me
I let it go from me
It washed up at my feet
Staring at the sea…

All that glitters is gold
Don’t believe what you’ve been told
People lie, people love, people go
But beauty lies in every soul

If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning
If you wait, if you wait for the morning

How long, how long
How long, how long

I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace
I asked myself for peace

I asked myself for peace
And found a piece of me
Staring at the sea…

Burning
Fire

Love bug, aha
Don’t bit me
Don’t bit me
Didn’t mean
For you to get me
(For you to get me)

Get up in the morning
I’m filled with desire
No no, can’t stop the fire

Leave me burning, aha
Leave me tossing, mhm
Leave me turning, aha
Leave me yearning

I’ve been bitten by a love bug
(by a love bug)
And I, I need some information

Keep me burning, aha, aha
Keep me tossing, aha, aha aha
Keep me turning, aha, aha aha aha
Keep me yearning, aha, aha

What are you gonna do
When love get a hold… a hold on you?
There ain’t nothing you can do
But burn
Burn!

Burning, aha
Fire

Burning, aha
Burning
Keep me yearning
Fire
Keep me burning
Burning

♥: I Don’t Want To Change You, Damien Rice.

15 Abr

Wherever you go
Well, I can always follow
I can feed this real slow
If it’s a lot to swallow
And if you just want to be alone
Well, I can wait without waiting
If you want me to let this go
Well, I am more than willing

Oh, ‘cause I don’t want to change you
I don’t want to change you,
I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a stranger’s eye

Oh, and I don’t want to change you
I don’t want to change you,
I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Out among the danger
Somewhere in a stranger’s eye

I’ve never been with anyone
In the way I’ve been with you
But if love is not for fun
Then it’s doomed
‘Cause water races
Water races down the waterfalls
The water races
Water races down the waterfall

And I don’t want to change you
I don’t want to change you
I don’t want to change your mind
I just came across a manger
Where there is no the danger
Where love has eyes and is not blind

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes

Each and every portent
Of bitter substance spent
Despite the effort I have planned
You seem to lose what I’ve meant

If I don’t use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
Symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

Those who created know
Air is in man and blow
Only the value given shows
That meaning comes and goes

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
If I don’t use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

If I don’t use words
Then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to possess
A purposely function
That cannot be met

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is it made?
I do not know
But meaning comes and goes

Love letters
Love letters
Love letters
Love letters

Love letters, all I see
On every day I read
The bits of yellow paper
Addressed from you to me

And every day it shows
Inside a book of stamps
To tell you what I’m up to
And say just how I feel

You’ve got me writing
Love letter
I’ll always write you
Love letters

You’ve got me writing
Love letters
I’ll always write you
Love letters

From far across the sea
They fly from you to me
But still I get no sleep
Oh, my love, don’t be mad

‘Cause I’ll keep on writing
Love letters
I’ll keep on writing
Love letters
I’ll keep on writing
Love letters
I’ll keep on writing
Love letters

Love letters
Love letters
Love letters
Love letters

De Concierto con: The Mary Onettes, un vuelo en el tiempo.

9 May

20130509-201016.jpg

Ayer tuve la ocasión de trasladarme a otra época, mas exactamente a los años 80 y a cuando era pequeña. Recordé cuando iba a casa de mis abuelos y mis tías, que por aquellas fechas viajaban mucho a Londres y eran tan estrambóticas, ponían sus vinilos de The Cure, Joy Division, Tears For Fears, Simple Minds a todo volumen inundando con aquel sonido tan especial toda la casa e incluso llegándose a escuchar la música desde el jardín. Tenían un baúl lleno a rebosar de discos antiguos y actuales de la época y yo me pasaba horas mirando las fotos que contenían, sus carátulas y leyendo las letras de las canciones que me gustaban intentando aprendérmelas. Que bonito era aquello y qué poco se hace ya hoy en día.

Anoche los suecos The Mary Onettes actuaron en la sala Moby Dick Club de Madrid y me trajeron aquel recuerdo  tan bien guardado en la memoria e incluso el del olor tan característico y familiar de los vinilos en sus respectivas funditas de plástico y envoltorios de papel alojados en aquel inmenso baúl de tesoros. El día anterior les había escrito con la ilusión de si podían enviarme la letra de una de las canciones de su último álbum, Hit The Waves (2013) que lleva como título Unblessed y me chifla. No esperaba contestación alguna pero bueno, por intentarlo, que no quedara y cual fue mi grata sorpresa cuando ayer vi que tenía un mensaje de ellos.  – ¡Hola Katrin! Aún no hemos publicado las letras pero puedes encontrarlas en las carátulas de los CDs y mañana si quieres, lo podrás comprar -. Les di las gracias, pregunté con quien tenía la amabilidad de hablar para saludarle por la noche y me dijo, – Petter, ¡Nos vemos esta noche! -.

Su directo no me defraudó en absoluto, esa voz del cantante tan particular, antigua pero a su vez fresca y de gran calidez, el bajo, el baterista, mi amigo Petter (el guitarra). Impresionantes. La mayor parte de las canciones que tocaron fueron de su último álbum pero no dejaron atrás otras como la tremenda Lost (video) que puso a toda la sala patas arriba, Void, Puzzles, acabando en los bises con un acústico de Pleasure Songs que al menos a mí me dejó con los pelos de punta.

Al finalizar como no, nos acercamos a la mesa del merchandising y les saludé, sí soy yo la de ayer de Unblessed. Se acordaban, nos reimos, charlamos un buen rato puesto que iban después a pinchar música a Fotomatón, recordaron su impresionante concierto en Málaga al que por supuesto mi amigo Pablo había ido, su estancia en Bilbao que les encantó… ¿Qué más se puede pedir? A la salida tras un buen rato, nos despedimos y encontramos con quien les gestiona aquí en España, A.c. Fika Sound, que curiosamente son de Bilbao. ¡Aiba la hostia! de Bilbao tenían que ser. Fue todo unas risas tremendas con ellos y desde aquí les mando un saludo. ¡Espero volvernos a encontrar pronto Roberto y David de Ornamento y Delito! ¡Ah! ¡Y traedles pronto de vuelta!

And you guys from The Marionettes, have fun in Zaragoozá and in Zarautz!

Aquí os dejo mi canción y cómo no ¡La letra!

This is my time
I’m bold in my dreams
This is my life
I don´t know where to aim
Pulling me out from the dark
So greater things can come
This is my time
Should give it to you

It’s more than just a bad dream
When your thoughts
are gonna pull  you down
I’m sorry to tell you
But my faults are gonna grow
It’s more than just a bad dream
It’s more than just a bad dream

This is your fun
Slay the ones you fear
This is your life
You can’t point it right

It’s more than just a bad dream
When your thoughts
are gonna pull  you down
I’m sorry to tell you
But my faults are gonna grow
It’s more than just a bad dream
It’s more than just a bad dream

Let your body go
Just unblessed yourself

♥: Things Fall Apart, Built To Spill.

15 Ago

Came into the darkness from out of the blue

I don’t know much, but I know what to do

Froze in my mind, I believed it so long

Alright, I’ll admit I was wrong

Stay out of my nightmares, stay out of my dreams

You’re not even welcome in my memories

Things are alright and I want what I’ve got

(It’s only momentarily thought)

Fade out (8x)

If no one thinks of no one

Then no one believes in no one

And no one fucks with no one

Then no one’s afraid of no one

We’ve all seen enough, now it’s time to decide

The meekness of love or the power of pride

It doesn’t matter if you’re good or smart

God damn it, things fall apart

Let’s go for a walk. yeah, let’s go for a drive

Don’t know how to say, thanks for being alive

Let’s go for a lifetime. let’s go for a fling

Don’t know how to say anything

21 Mar

Watching the days go by

It isn’t as half fun as it used to be

When I could reach out

From the inside the folds of your skin

Watching the sun rush by

Isn’t as half as good now

It’s all silent ‘round here

Over the memory

The folds of your skin

And I never wanna spend another day

Not a single moment from your side

No, I don’t even wanna spend another day

Not a single moment from your side

Over the memory

The folds of your skin

Over sweet memory

And I can’t taste no other

Came running from nowhere fast

Came stumbling at me through the dark

Breaking right through my skin

And I can’t taste no other

Came like lighting in my arms

Came tearing through the night

Inside the memory

I can’t taste no other

And I never wanna spend another day

Not a single moment from your side

No, I don’t even wanna spend another day

Not a single moment from your side

Still running forwards and backwards

And inside and outside your love

And over the memory

I can’t taste no other

Over sweet memory

I can’t see no other

Came like lighting through my heart

Folds of your skin

Rebellious love

Is begging door to door

But finds the silence

Like no one lives there anymore

Rebellious love

This day ain’t got no place

And is running out of town

In shame covering it’s face

Love is running back to God

God is running after man

Men all run to the unknown

From unknown love comes again

Capture, capture

Will they ever capture

One another?

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Rebellious love

Your destiny’s arranged

Your days are numbered

And soon you will be caged

But rebellious love

I’m comin’ after you

‘Cause without you

There’s nothing for me here to do

Love is running back to God

God is running after man

Men all run to the unknown

From unknown love comes again

Capture, capture

Will they ever capture

One another?

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Capture, capture

Will they ever capture

One another?

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Capture, capture

Will they ever capture

Will the cowards ever get to capture us?

Capture, capture

Capture, capture

Capture, capture

Capture, capture

Let’s dance

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let’s dance

To the song they’re playin’ on the radio

Let’s sway

While colour lights up your face

Let’s sway

Sway through the crowd to an empty space

CHORUS:

If you say run, I’ll run with you

If you say hide, we’ll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

Let’s dance

For fear your grace should fall

Let’s dance

For fear tonight is all

Let’s sway

You could look into my eyes

Let’s sway

Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

CHORUS

Let’s dance

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let’s dance

To the song they’re playin’ on the radio

Let’s sway

You could look into my eyes

Let’s sway

Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight
