The Weather Station: I Mined

The Weather Station: belleza natural.

    Lo pillaste casi al vuelo. Era otros tiempos. Como si las alas se quebrasen, encontraste otros cielos lejanos donde planear. Aquella nube aún se acuerda de tu viento y mensaje. Belleza natural.


Javier Mateos


READ:
It started small – a simple thought. That there was something wrong. And if it's caught I could set it right, or at least, I could try. 
All through the night and down in your eyes, I mined and mined and mined. Given time, what I looked for I would find; I was right, I was right, I was right. 
And every word I overturned like a stone rolling easy. And all I'd see hidden underneath only served to make me lonely. Your trouble is like a lens through which the whole world bends, and then you can't set it straight again. 
Winter passed, and summer storms came and flashed white in the evening. 
You came in wet; you were laughing and grinning, shook my shoulders, tried to get me smiling. 
The wind had changed, and the rain was relentless, washing everything down the street again. My slow heart wanted only what was endless – to be helpless.

Brian Eno: By This River




   
 
Brian Eno: ríos de sabiduría.


   Cerca de este río imaginé que la corriente se paraba y formaba un dibujo egipcio. Sí, tipo jeroglífico. Cuando intenté desvelar su significado había desaparecido. Tiré una piedra a sus aguas y me quedé esperando hasta el anochecer.


Javier Mateos

READ:
Here we are
Stuck by this river
You and I
Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down
Ever falling down

Through the day
As if on an ocean
Waiting here
Always failing to remember why we came, came, came
I wonder why we came

You talk to me
As if from a distance
And I reply
With impressions chosen from another time, time, time
From another time

Sam Prekop: Something




Sam Prekop: inteligencia musical.

    Hay algo que me susurra tus pensamientos, nada sinceros, todo sea dicho de paso. Puedo leerte a mil metros, tú no puedes ver ni a un palmo. Somos algo diferentes, aunque hemos compartido muchos y memorables recuerdos.


Javier Mateos


READ:

Still I wonder what I've been
Understanding all the ways
That your bound to let me know

I thought I'd keep it
Close to mind
I'd rather say we're just starting
Carefully, on our way

And there's no reason
I know there's something
Cross our minds together
With standing mystery

You fell in my hands without notice
I had to try and think
Do you want?
Will you stay?

As soon as only I am able
I'm taking my time all evening, yeah
Still on, still on too
Still on too
Still on, still on too
Still on

Do you wonder?
Does it make sense?
Walls collide everyday
Up on lies, melodies
Still on my mind
I don't know just lately
You made it
But I'll wait and see

As soon as only I am able
I'm thinking that it's what I found
Someone's got to give
I won't let go, so you know

Sera Cahoone: Worry all your Life


 
Sera cahoone: melancolía en el bosque.


   Todo el día preocupado, preocúpate de respirar. La vida es más que un repaso de un puñado de momentos. El aire no es tan denso como para llevar una máscara todo el tiempo.

Javier Mateos

Take my arms away
Tie 'em up around your waist

Take my arms away
Tie 'em up around your waist
Lay you down in the sun


'Cause you're the only one that has control of what you need
And as it sets in the way you worry all your life
Also how you gonna grow if you don't know you're dragging you down
You'll waste the rest of your days if you worry all your life


We get older all those days
In a bag gone in
Lizard throw as a rain
Wash it all away


'Cause you're the only one that has control of what you need
And as it sets in the way you worry all your life
Also how you gonna grow if you don't know you're dragging you down
You'll waste the rest of your days if you worry all your life

Bob Dylan: Most of the Time




Bob Dylan: grande de nuestro tiempo.

  La mayor parte del tiempo lo pierdes elucubrando mentiras, pero ya sabes que vives del descrédito. Pasan los días, los meses y sigues llorando. Ahora te das cuenta que te has pasado tres cuartos de tu existencia como una cascada aburrida; la mayor parte del tiempo.


Javier Mateos



READ:

Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the sign
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice she's gone
Most of the time.

Most of the time it's well understood
Most of the time I wouldn't change it if I could
I can make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive and I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time.

Most of the time my head is on straight
Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion 'til it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time.

Most of the time she ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time I can even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her
Most of the time I'm halfway content
Most of the time I know exactly where it went
I don't cheat on myself I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings that are buried inside
I don't compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time.

Roy Orbison: Leah


Roy Orbison: demasiada clase.




   Aquella noche la escuchaba una y otra vez... Los vecinos debieron pensar que estaba algo loco, me quedé atrapado en su melodía. A eso de las tres de la madrugada, finalmente, pude entender que a veces el mar es menos húmedo cuanto más se pega.

Leah, Leah
Leah, Leah

Here I go, from the hut to the boat to the sea, for Leah

Uh huh I've gotta go diving in the bay
Gotta get a lot of oysters, find some pearls today
To make a pretty necklace for Leah
Leah

I've gotta go deep and find the ones just right
I'll bet my Leah'll be surprised tonight
I'll place the pearls around the only girl for me
Leah

But something's wrong I cannot move around
My leg is caught it's pulling me down
But I'll keep my hand shut tight for if they find me
They'll find the pearl for Leah

And now it's over, I'm awake at last
Old heartaches and memories from the past
It was just another dream about my lost love
About Leah

Leah, Leah
Leah, Leah

Here I go, back to sleep and in my dreams
I'll be with Leah, Leah, Leah

Talk Talk: I Don't Believe In You

   

 
Talk Talk: dando con las claves.



   Te dijeron que no te creerían, pero no necesitabas que nadie lo hiciera; era tan sencillo como creer en ti mismo.


Javier Mateos


READ:
Now the fun is over
Where do words begin
I'm trying to find the path ahead
Any way you say it
The charade goes on
But your eyes won't see it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'
Promises so golden
Years have proved them wrong
I'm trying to leave some self respect
Any way you say it
Our decline goes on
But your pride won't heed it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'
I don't
I don't believe in you
And the way you play it
Is the way you want it
Any way you sing it
It's the same old song
'I don't believe you'
