Perversiones y digresiones I

Sí, yo también con una sección de versiones pero bueno, como cada uno somos de una manera creo que tiene su gracia porque descubres cosas nuevas de la gente a través de sus gustos. En mi caso siempre he pensado que la gracia de una versión es que tenga poco que ver con la original aunque conserve su esencia. Una versión de Madonna hecha por Katy Perry pues me parece tan emocionante como sentarse a ver crecer la hierba pero si a la Perry le diera por versionar a The Velvet Underground, por poner un ejemplo, la cosa ya pintaría más interesante porque son dos mundos muy diferentes. Aparte pondré también un tema propio del imitador de turno para ver que hacen cuando están en su habitat.

No hace falta presentación para mi querida caracementerio, la reina de la "música para bailar llorando" (con permiso de Beth Gibbons de Portishead). Ya sé que a algunos os aburre pero a mí me encanta aunque demasiada Lana del Rey puede hacer ganas de que te tires a las vías de metro más cercanas. Eso sí, se me hace muy raro que una chica que hace una música tan suya haya tenido tanto éxito, pero si no se saca las tetas, ni se droga, ni monta escándalos...

Feet, don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart, it breaks
Every step that I take
But I'm hoping at the gates
They'll tell me that you're mine

Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on the Friday night
Can you make it feel like home
If I tell you you're mine?
It's like I told you honey

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
So choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die

Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Try'na take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey

Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
So choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die
(We were born, we were born) We were born to die
(We were born, we were born) We were born to die

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane

So, don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
Keep making me laugh, let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
So choose your last words, this is the last time
'Cause you and I, we were born to die
(We were born, we were born) We were born to die

(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born to die, we were born to die)
(We were born, we were born to die)

Tiamat son un grupo sueco que existe desde 1989 y han editado diez discos a lo largo de su carrera. Aunque los conozco desde hace mucho tiempo nunca se ha podido decir que los siguiera porque siempre los he encontrado algo incompletos, como si les faltase algo para que me terminasen de gustar. Quizás demasiados cambios de sonido que no llegaban a cuajar. En resumen, tienen canciones que me gustan mucho pero no es un grupo que siga. En cuanto a mí, espero recuperar la normalidad la semana que viene.

Emily took to flight
On see through wings of white
Over the seven seas careened
In beauty yet unseen
A withered rose of doom
Scattered all around
For the heavens to abound
And like the sweetest cream
With loveliness extreme
Emily went to play
On that sacred day

One love in red who loves darkness
One love in white who loves darkness
One love in black who loves darkness
One love supreme who loves darkness
One little butterfly who loves darkness
One billion angels love darkness
'Cause even God loves darkness

Emily went to play
When gold turned into clay
The morning drained the night
Of all beauty left in sight
Of not much more to see
She disappeared into the haze
In her own peculiar ways
And like the sweetest cream
With loveliness extreme
Emily went to play
On that sacred day
