| Randy llegó a obsesionar con este tema a dos genios.¿Os extraña? Puede que sea su mejor canción y una de las mejores de todos los tiempos. |
Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Don't you have a word to show what may be done
Have you never heard a way to find the sun
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue?
Have you seen the land living by the breeze
Can you understand a light among the trees
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Tell us all today
If you know the way to blue?
Look through time and find your rhyme
Tell us what you find
We will wait at your gate
Hoping like the blind.
Can you now recall all that you have known?
Will you never fall
When the light has flown?
Tell me all that you may know
Show me what you have to show
Won't you come and say
If you know the way to blue?
I can't live in a world that you have left behind
Seen a lot, been through too much
But this is where i draw the line
It's not where you're coming from
It's where you're going to
And i just wanna go with you
December is a lonely month
In a year of lonely days
It's hard to tell which way is up
Or down or out
Or through the haze
People cheat and people lie
While you just watch it all go by
Counting days until you die
The stars shine in the sky tonight
Like a path beyond the grave
When you wish upon that star
There's two of us you need to save
It's not where you're coming from
It's where you're going to
And i just wanna go with you
ES una de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos... SIN DUDA!!!!!!! La manera en que te atrapan esos primeros versos; es uno de mis inicios de canción favoritos de todos los tiempos. Y la versión de nuestra Nina ya ni te cuento.
ResponderEliminarUn abrazo.
Ni te cuento la versión de nuestra Nina , querido Agente pero aquí quiero incidir en la family tree. Lo ves claro no? Yo lo veo claro de donde viene esa cosa bella impreceptible que une a esta familia de artistas y canciones.
EliminarLo ve claro, Joserra, lo veo claro jejeje pero te reconozco que hasta que te leí el otro día cuando y establecías una conexión entre Drake y Randy no me había detenido a pensarlo. Y es escuchar los tres temas del tirón y ves las raíces del 'family tree' extenderse. La de Eels parece cerrar el círculo compartiendo esa desnudez de "I Think..." a pesar de -como aquella- estar coloreadas con orquestación.
EliminarNo se si es una de las mejores de todos los tiempos o incluso de Newman, lo que es indudable es que si una de las más versioneadas del artista y normalmente muy bien por cierto.
ResponderEliminarSencillamente sublimes las tres canciones, no puedo decantarme por ninguna. Son ramas de un mismo tronco, el de la soledad. Muy acertada la entrada, y el vídeo de Nick Drake realmente emocionante.
