Tracy Chapman - Telling stories
Marzo 18th, 2008 Posteado en Para ambientar, Para escuchar, Para trabajar
Absoluto temazo el de Tracy Chapman, una cantautora estadounidense de éxito. Recomiendo encarecidamente su álbum recopilatorio “Collection“, un discazo lleno de temas para sentarse a escucharlos en un momento de tranquilidad. Además de “Telling stories” podréis encontrar temas buenísimos como “Fast car“, “Subcity“, “The Promise” o “Give me one reason“.
La canción en cuestión se llama “Telling stories” y se lanzó en el álbum que llevaba el mismo nombre en el año 2000:
“There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesnt mean
Youre not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life
Seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
Theres a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
Theres no one but you standing
Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing“
