The river, Bruce Springsteen
Continúo haciendo arqueología musical, aunque en esta ocasión podemos decir que el objeto de estudio se encuentra más cercano en el tiempo. The river, de Bruce Springsteen, un tema realmente triste que siempre me ha gustado tararear en momentos ídem. Como en la anterior ocasión, os dejo aquí la letra para que podáis experimentar el sentimiento de Springsteen con mayor propiedad.
(Un dato interesante: en esta ocasión, la canción no está contenida en Octaedro. Procede de Blogmusik, una página que he descubierto a través de La Huella Digital, el blog de Nacho de la Fuente. Blogmusik permite escuchar temas completos sin tener que bajarlos de la web y también incluirlos en tu propia página. Disfrutad del invento).
I come from down in the valley where mister when youre young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen
Wed ride out of that valley down to where the fields were greenWed go down to the river
And into the river wed dive
Oh down to the river wed rideThen I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteen birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river wed dive
On down to the river we did rideI got a job working construction for the johnstown company
But lately there aint been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I dont remember, mary acts like she dont care
But I remember us riding in my brothers car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks Id lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath shed take
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it dont come true
Or is it something worse that sends me
Down to the river though I know the river is dry
Down to the river, my baby and i
Oh down to the river we ride
Cuantas cosas agradables hace la tecnología para beneplácito de quienes gustamos de ella. Blogmusik parece estupenda.
Sí, si que lo es. Es mucho más cómodo que el plugin que utilicé unos post atrás. No hay que subir la canción a tu sitio, solo enlazarla.
