Cuando crees que el frío te abandona, es frustrante asomarte a la ventana y ver como todo sigue igual de gris... Buscando otro tono más colorido y brillante, te enredas en las mismas preguntas de siempre. Estropeas el presente anticipándote al futuro. El factor sorpresa se pierde. Ni tan si quiera sabes si perderla fue una gran idea. La vida es un dilema menor del que aparenta.
Te preguntas si la nieve cuajará este año, malditas preguntas...
Javier Mateos.

Been staying up until the early hours of the morning, When the birds begin to sing They trick me into thinking that the winter months are over And we'll soon be into spring
Been staying undercover, if I stay here any longer I'll miss most of the day The last thing you're expecting when you're looking for a window Is to see it look so gray
What's the point of worrying how will things turn out? Why spoil the surprise? You know it won't live up to your expectations When you wonder why
And I wonder if the snow will settle on the ground this year I wonder whether losing you was such a good idea I can't seem to remember the last time that it snowed 'round here And I wonder if the snow will settle on the ground this year
Dentro de ti hay una estrella, su polvo se expande por el Universo, pero tú ni te das cuenta. Un millón, digo: ¡tres millones! Todas se condensan en una órbita concéntrica. La pena es que el Sol sea más grande que tu estela.

When candles light themselves
And the air turns creamy Why not take a photograph? You look so dreamy
Then stand in the blackness Smile at the tinkling Blinded by lovedust What did I see?
A million, a billion, a trillion stars A million, a billion star
I’m bad with faces And worse with names But the last glove is happy Its all the same
I set a trap for you But I’m the one who’s all caught up Blinded by lovedust This is what I saw
A million, a billion, a trillion stars A million a billion stars A million, a billion, a trillion stars A million, a billion stars
Creíste vencer aquel propósito final. El año había terminado, lo pasaste bien. Pero se te olvidó recordar que tenías que seguir respirando. Las hojas del otoño ya cayeron, el aire frío heló tu cabello...Aquel último día fue lo esperado: bebiste el agua de los floreros, como siempre que llovía en aquella ciudad gris y sin puerto.

Don't tell me That you get sick of living When the summer's so forgiving although we have stolen All of the things that we though we had owned then Have disappeared
All these things in flavour Won't do you no favours When the summer's light is fragrant with scents of returning You relent, you resent, now you're burning For nothing to change....
There's something there... (amongst the fallen fruit and flowers) Won't rest (only minutes, only hours) Unless (now the morning breaks in showers) I guess We'll remember this all of our lives On the last good day of the year
All the leaves are turning Autumn's fingers burnished Furnished here in hope and in faith in the meantime Kinda working my way through a dream I was having alone
There's something there... (amongst the fallen fruit and flowers) Won't rest (only minutes, only hours) Unless (now the morning breaks in showers) I'm left With the north wind breathing down my neck...
On the last good day of the year..... (don't know where I end and where you begin...)
The Shins, los chicos de Albuquerque, están de vuelta. El nuevo y deslumbrante single de los de New Mexico, se editó el pasado día 10 de enero y lleva por título: Simple Song. Una vez más nos vuelven a emocionar hasta decir "basta", con un sencillo rotundo e impactante. La edición del esperado nuevo álbum "Port of Morrow", será un par de meses más tarde, el 20 de marzo. Pero mientras tanto, sube el volumen de tu receptor hasta que te echen de casa, porque darle al play no cuesta nada y además te lo agradecerá tu alma. Párate a leer su letra, interioralizala, y descubrirás que detenerse en los malos momentos no es más que una escusa para perder el tiempo.
Si un año comienza con un tema así es signo inequívoco de que las cosas van a ir bien. A pesar de tanta cantinela de que serán malos tiempos, con la sencillez como bandera y una canción como himno, nada ni nadie te podrá parar.
Javier Mateos.

Well this is just a simple song
to say ‘what you done?’
I told you about all those fears
and away they did run
you sure must be strong
and you feel like an ocean
being warmed by the sun.
When I wasjust nine years old
I swear that I dreamt
your face on a football field
and a kiss that I kept
under my vest
apart from everything, the heart in my chest
chorus:
I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, complete like a stone
could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical
as this little hope!
as this little hole.
My life in an action boat, marooned on a cliff
you brought me a great big flood
and you gave me a lift
oh what a gift!
you tell me with your tongue
and your breath goes in the lungs
and the flow that filled the rift
chorus:
I know that things can really get rough when you go in love
don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, complete like a stone
could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical
as this little hope!
Well this will be a simple song to say what you’ve done
I told you about all those years and away they did run
and where they did wrong
you sure must be strong
and you feel like an ocean
being warmed by the sun.
Remember walking a mile to your house that glow in the dark
I made a fumbling playfor your heart and the extra of the spark
you wore a charm in a chain that I stole specially for you
love’s such a delicate thing that we do , we’ve nothing to prove,
Con esa mirada pierdes tu tiempo. Su calor se evapora en los charcos de tus ojos. Entre saltos y paisajes, su movimiento se congeló como el hielo. Todavía espero que llegue la estación en que su verde se funda con el naranja de los campos y así, entonces, resurja el fuego.
Javier Mateos.

Now that it's time Now that the hour hand has landed at the end Now that it's real Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe try another time And do I really have a hand in my forgetting ?
Now that I've tried Now that I've finally found that this is not the way, Now that I turn Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe finally split the rhyme And do I really understand the undernetting ?
Yes and the morning has me Looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs carefully.
Now that it's light Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind Now that it's here Now that I'm almost not so very far behind I want to know do I stay or do I go And maybe follow another sign And do I really have a song that I can ride on ?
Now that I can Now that it's easy, ever easy all around. Now that I'm here Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and a song I want to know do I stay or do I go And do I have to do just one And can I choose again if I should lose the reason ?
Yes, and the morning Has me looking in your eyes And seeing mine warning me To read the signs more carefully.
Now that I smile, Now that I'm laughing even deeper inside. Now that I see, Now that I finally found the one thing I denied It's now I know do I stay or do I go And it is finally I decide That I'll be leaving In the fairest of the seasons.
