1979

Hoy también me apetece poner aquí un poco más de mis recuerdos. La verdad es que los empecé a escuchar tarde, pero intenté recuperar todo el tiempo perdido. Creo que estoy un poco nostálgico. Es el invierno, que llega como todos los años paulatinamente, para que poco a poco mis raices se vayan asentando.

Hoy, el servidor donde cuelgo normalmente todas las canciones ha petado, así que os dejo el vídeo y la letra de esta obra maestra de la música de mediados de los 90, una de las canciones que me gustaría que tocaran en mi funeral: 1979 de los Smashing Pumpkins.

1979 - Smashing Pumpkins

Shakedown 1979
Cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in the store
Morphine city slippin' dues down to see

That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go
Beneath the sound of hope

Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made
I know you better than you fake it to see

That we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around
