Pearl Jam - Black
Marzo 31st, 2008 Posteado en Para ambientar, Para escuchar
Qué canción! está entre una de mis preferidas. Pearl Jam, junto a Nirvana el mejor grupo de grunge, siempre un escalón por encima de los Stone Temple Pilots, Soundgarden o Alice in Chains. El repertorio de los Pearl Jam es alucinante, llevan muchos años, y han compuesto infinidad de temas buenísimos.
Cuesta elegir entre tanta buena canción, pero me quedo con “Black“, incluida en su magistral álbum “Ten” de 1991, qué recuerdos!
Ahí va el video en directo, Eddie Wedder se sale:
“Hey… oooh…
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
I take a walk outside
I’m surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I’m spinning, oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll be… yeah…
Uh huh… uh huh… ooh…
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life,
I know you’ll be a sun in somebody else’s sky, but why
Why, why can’t it be, why can’t it be mine
Aah… uuh..
Too doo doo too, too doo doo“
