The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

El estribillo se repite “sólo” 32 veces -debería ser sordo el amigo-, pero es una canción que no me cansa. Otra de R.E.M. para mi Cristo… ¡Cómo duerme la víbora!

This here is the place I will be staying
There isnt a number. you can call the pay phone
Let it ring a long, long, long, long time
If I dont pick up, hang up, call back, let it ring some more
If I dont pick up, pick up, the sidewinder sleeps, sleeps, sleeps in a coil

(chorus)
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her
Call me when you try to wake her up, call me when you try to wake her

Nightswimming

Una cita, una risa, un beso, un abrazo, un viaje, un recuerdo…

¡Muchas felicidades!

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it’s so much clearer
I forgot my shirt at the water’s edge
The moon is low tonight

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
I’m not sure all these people understand
It’s not like years ago,
The fear of getting caught,
Of recklessness and water
They cannot see me naked
These things, they go away,
Replaced by everyday

Vuelvo a escribirme a mí mismo. Antes de decirle algo a los demás es conveniente hablarle a un espejo y ver cómo está…
Me reía mucho de joven con este vídeo de R.E.M. Muy friki, sí. Entre la gorrita, la señora, las gafas y los bailecitos… Qué motivaos! No es su mejor canción pero es única, como tú y como yo.
A ver si se me pega algo

Shiny happy people laughing
Meet me in the crowd
People people
Throw your love around
Love me love me
Take it into town
Happy happy
Put it in the ground
Where the flowers grow
Gold and silver shine

Shiny happy people holding hands
Shiny happy people laughing
