Crazy

                                                                                    The Afghan Whigs: en guerra contra el amor.

Tienes que estar un poco loco para actuar de esa manera. Siempre al límite, sin pensar en las consecuencias. A partir de ahora, cada vez que hagas una locura, nadie se enterará, solamente tú y tu siempre brillante armadura.

Javier Mateos



READ:
Whatever did happen to your soul?
I heard you sold it
To some old boy who lived uptown
Who could afford it
So what's gonna happen to you now?
Therapy... The pharmacy

Crazy
That's what you'd like to believe
But it ain't easy
When yer goin' crazy
Over the rainbow

"I think your story's jive," she said
There ain't nuthin' wrong with me
If I use it to get me some sympathy
Some ecstasy
A memory... I wanna remember me

Crazy about ya
Crazy without ya
Crazy
Over you

Moonlight Mile



                                                                          The Rolling Stones: carreteras perdidas.
Hay días en que la carretera es aún más solitaria que de costumbre.


READ:

When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know
Don't the nights pass slow
Don't the nights pass slow

The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones
Gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow
Let the air waves flow

Oh I'm sleeping under strange strange skies
Just another mad mad day on the road
My dreams is fading down the railway line
I'm just about a moonlight mile down the road

I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm hiding baby and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm riding down you moonlight mile

Let it go now, come on up babe
Yeah, let it go now
Yeah, flow now baby
Yeah move on now yeah

Yeah, I'm coming home
Cause, I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Down the road, down the road.

Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)

                                                                                             Al Green: confeccionando felicidad.

Has estado esperando este momento tanto tiempo, que ni con la seda más suave logras vestirte de felicidad. Parece que fue ayer cuando bailaste en la penumbra, se hizo de día y la luz ya no se sintió sola, aunque puede que se volviese un poco cegadora. Las tinieblas dan paso al olor de las flores en la primavera más inquieta.

Javier Mateos.


READ:

Sha la la la-- la la la,
oh baby,
Sha la la la-- la la la,
oh baby,
I've been gone so long I know what to do,
oh baby,
that I know you don't know what I've been going through,
oh baby,
'cause you make me happy baby, so I can say,

Sha la la la-- la la la,
I love you,
Sha la la la-- la la la,
Thinkin' of you,
I know you can tell what's on my mind,
oh baby,
and I've been feeling this way for such a long time,
ya, baby,
aw, make me happy baby, aw, make me happy, I wanna say,

I'm trying, this feeling just won't die,
oh,
Sha la la la-- la la la,
Make you cry,
It's something that just gets down in your bones,
baby,
And once I see you I can't leave your love alone,
Ya, heh, baby,
aw, make me happy baby, aw, make me happy baby, let me sing,

Sha la la la-- la la la,
oh baby,
Sha la la la-- la la la,
oh baby...

She's A Mystery To Me

                                                                                   Roy Orbison: el misterio de una voz eterna.

Eres un misterio por resolver, ni navegando en tus ríos rojos logro adivinar tu mensaje. Una vez me escondí en tu aurícula y creí oír algo... Estaba equivocado, tu latido era ensordecedor, el susurro se esfumó. Si tuviese que dibujar tu nombre en el cielo, las nubes formarían un interrogante. Ahora solo me queda esperar que la incógnita de tus besos, me lleve muy lejos.

Javier Mateos.

READ:

Darkness falls and she will take me by the hand
Take me to some twilight land
Where all but love is grey
Where I can't find my way
Without her as my guide 

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven turned to hell
Am I left to burn and burn eternally
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl 

In the night of love words tangled in her hair
Words soon to disappear
A love so sharp it cut
Like a switchblade to my heart
Words tearing me apart
She tears again my bleeding heart
I want to run she's pulling me apart
Fallen angel cry then I just melt away
She's a mystery to me
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl 

Haunted by her side 
It's the darkness in her eyes
That so intrigues me
But if my love is blind
Then I don't want to see
She's a mystery to me 

Night falls I'm cast beneath her spell
Daylight comes our heaven turned to hell
Am I left to burn and burn eternally
She's a mystery to me 

She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl
She's a mystery girl

The Shins in concert at NPR

                                                                    The Shins: buscando la canción perfecta.

La  NPR yankee te ofrece en exclusiva un mini concierto presentación de The Shins y el que será su nuevo álbum "Port Of Morrow", que saldrá a la venta en todo el mundo el próximo día 20 de marzo vía Aural Apothecary/Columbia . La banda de James Mercer afronta la que puede ser su oportunidad definitiva para alcanzar nuevas audiencias y un éxito más global. Después de su primer single, el extraordinario "Simple Song", todo es posible. Pero mientras tanto, mantengamos la cautela porque se antoja complicado superar discos como "Chutes too Narrow" o el infravalorado "Wincing the Night Away" (ambos editados SUB POP).
De momento podéis disfrutar de este adelanto gracias a NPR, pero por supuesto también, a KISTE F.M.

Javier Mateos.

Calling All Angels

                                                                Jane Siberry: ángel de terciopelo.

Rezamos para que el vacío no sea tan inmenso. Ayudados por unas alas color luna, nos elevamos sin importar el peso. Desde lo alto, en los tejados, nos vigilan y nos cuidan, así son ellos.

Javier Mateos




READ:


Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah 
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica 
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla 
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir 
and all the rest 

A man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries 
and high above the church bells start to ring 
and as the heaviness the body oh the heaviness settles in 
somewhere you can hear a mother sing 

Then it's one foot then the other as you step out onto the road 
how much weight? how much weight? 
then it's how long? and how far? 
and how many times before it's too late? 

Calling all angels 
calling all angels 
walk me through this one 
don't leave me alone 
calling all angels 
calling all angels 
we're cryin' and we're hurtin' 
and we're not sure why... 

And every day you gaze upon the sunset 
with such love and intensity 
it's almost...it's almost as if 
if you could only crack the code 
then you'd finally understand what this all means 

But if you could...do you think you would 
trade in all the pain and suffering? 
ah, but then you'd miss 
the beauty of the light upon this earth 
and the sweetness of the leaving 

Calling all angels 
calling all angels 
walk me through this one 
don't leave me alone 
callin' all angels 
callin' all angels 
we're tryin' 
we're hopin' 
we're hurtin' 
we're lovin' 
we're cryin' 
we're callin' 
'cause we're not sure how this goes

All Waters

                                                          Perfume Genius: eau de toilette para torsos.

Cuando lo escondes, huyes. En el desierto o en una calle atestada, el agua de tus ojos siempre permanecerá estancada; en una especie de paz azulada.

Javier Mateos.


READ:
When all waters still
and flowers cover the earth
When no tree's shivering,
and the dust settles in the desert
When I can take your hand
on any crowded street
and hold you close to me
With no hesitating
oh, my love.
