Música - Lullaby for a soldier by Maggie Siff

 



May your dreams bring you peace in the darkness

May you always rise over the rain

May the light from above always lead you to love

May you stay in the arms of the angels


May you always be brave in the shadows

‘Till the sun shines upon you again

Hear this prayer in my heart, and we’ll ne’er be apart

May you stay in the arms of the angels


May you hear every song in the forest

And if ever you lose your own way

Hear my voice like a breeze, whisper soft through the trees

May you stay in the arms of the angels


May you grow up to stand as a man, love

With the pride of your family and name

When you lay down your head, or to rest in your bed

May you stay in the arms of the angels

Música — Han caído los dos de Radio Futura



Han caído los dos.


 Han caído los dos cual soldados fulminados al suelo

y ahora están atrapados los dos en la misma prisión

vigilados por el ojo incansable del deseo voraz

sometidos a una insoportable tensión de silencio.

 

Han caído los dos bajo el punto de vista exclusivo

iniciando una guerra en que nadie pudo vencer jamás

ella sabe lo que el hombre espera sin haberlo aprendido

y él encuentra un sentido al enigma que no le dejaba existir.

 

Antes eran dos barcos sin rumbo

hoy son dos marionetas que van

persiguiendo una luz cegadora

por la línea del tiempo.

 

Han caído los dos en la boca de un dios tenebroso

que sonríe mostrando sus dientes de acero.

 

Han caído los dos cual soldados fulminados al suelo

y ahora están atrapados los dos en la misma prisión

vigilados por el ojo incansable del deseo voraz

sometidos a una insoportable tensión de silencio.

  

Antes eran dos barcos sin rumbo

hoy son dos marionetas que van

persiguiendo una luz cegadora

por la línea del tiempo.

 

Han caído los dos en la boca de un dios tenebroso

que sonríe mostrando sus dientes de acero.

 

Ella sabe lo que el hombre espera sin haberlo aprendido

y él encuentra un sentido al enigma que no le dejaba existir.

Música — Bright Lights by Matchbox Twenty

 

She got out of town
On a railway, New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway
Some things in this world you just can't change
Some things you can't see until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world

Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world, man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need until they leave you
They're the things that you miss, you say

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world

Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

Let that city take you in (Come on home)
Let that city spit you out (Come on home)
Let that city take you down, yeah

For God's sake, turn around

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world

Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
Turn yourself around and come on home

Yeah, come on home
Maybe, maybe, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home

Música — Goodbye by Katey Sagal

 


I remember holdin on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

Música — The road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams

 


Save me from drowning in the sea

Beat me up on the beach

What a lovely holiday

There's nothing funny left to say

This sombre song would drain the sun

But it won't shine until it's sung

No water running in the stream

The saddest place we've ever seen

 

Everything I touched was golden

Everything I loved got broken

On the road to Mandalay

Every mistake I've ever made

Has been rehashed and then replayed

As I got lost along the way

 

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom badom

 

There's nothing left for you to give

The truth is all that you're left with

Twenty paces then at dawn

We will die and be reborn

I like to sleep beneath the trees

Have the universe at one with me

Look down the barrel of a gun

And feel the moon replace the sun

 

Everything we've ever stolen

Has been lost, returned or broken

No more dragons left to slay

Every mistake I've ever made

Has been rehashed and then replayed

As I got lost along the way

 

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom badom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom badom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom bom bom ba da dup bom bom

Bom badom (repeat)


Save me from drowning in the sea

Beat me up on the beach

What a lovely holiday

There's nothing funny left to say

This sombre song would drain the sun

But it won't shine until it's sung

No water running in the stream

The saddest place we've ever seen

Música — Al Stewart "Year of the cat"

 

  Les deseo un próspero y saludable Año del Gato.

    

On a morning from a Bogart movie

In a country where they turn back time

You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre

Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running

Like a watercolor in the rain

Don't bother asking for explanations

She'll just tell you that she came

In the year of the cat

 

She doesn't give you time for questions

As she locks up your arm in hers

And you follow 'till your sense of which direction

Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls

There's a hidden door she leads you to

These days, she says, I feel my life

Just like a river running through

The year of the cat

 

While she looks at you so cooly

And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea

She comes in incense and patchouli

So you take her, to find what's waiting inside

The year of the cat

 

Well morning comes and you're still with her

And the bus and the tourists are gone

And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket

So you have to stay on

But the drum-beat strains of the night remain

In the rhythm of the new-born day

You know sometime you're bound to leave her

But for now you're going to stay

In the year of the cat

 

Year of the cat

Música - St. James Infirmary

    

Folks, I'm goin' down to St. James Infirmary
To see my baby there;
She's stretched out on a long, white table
She's so sweet, so cold, and fair

Let her go, let her go, God bless her
Wherever she may be
She will search this wide world over
But she'll never find another sweet man like me

Now, when I die, bury me in my straight-leg britches
Put on a box-back coat and a Stetson hat
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat

An' give me six crap shooting pall bearers
Let a chorus girl sing me a song
Put a red hot jazz band at the top of my head
So we can raise Hallelujah as we go along

Folks, now that you have heard my story
Say, boy, hand me over another shot of that booze
If anyone should ask you
You just tell 'em I've got those St. James Infirmary blues

Música - Skin and Bones - Foo Fighters

                                                     

    

Lately I've been measuring
Seems my time is growing thin
Wind me up and watch me spin
Watch me spin
Watch me spin

Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?
Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?

I'm just skin and bones

All worn out and nothing fits
Brennevin and cigarettes
The more I give the less I get
But I'm all set
I'm all set

Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?
Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?

I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones

Deep within this frame of mind
Heart of hearts, oh Valentine
Tell my mom I'm doing fine
Doing fine
Doing fine

Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?

Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?

Skin and bones
Skin and bones
Skin and bones, don't you know?

I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones
I'm just skin and bones

I'm just hey!

Cine - Cosas que hacer en Denver cuando estás muerto


Hay días en los que apetece un suicidio por alforfones mediante outsider.

   

This time is different

It's not like the times before

I crossed my heart, that I won't kill no more

Jesus watch over me, keep my anger at home

You better bless these wicked hands, cause they got a mind of their own

 

Don't go downtown

 

Devil whispers in my ear, "It's time your your curtain call."

So I dress myself on up with alcohol

Step aside, step aside, oh let the whistler through

There really ain't no help at all for folks like me and you

 

Don't go downtown

Don't go downtown

 

Get your god damn hands up, don't you look at me

No one's dyin' here alone

Well I came to get it on

Let's get it on

 

This time is different

It's not like the times before

I crossed my heart, that I won't kill no more

Música - Wild Wood - Paul Weller


High tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you are blowing
Getting to where you should be going

Don't let them get you down
Making you feel guilty about
Golden rain, will bring you riches
All the good things you deserve and now

Climbing, forever trying
Find your way out of the wild, wild wood
Now there's no justice
Only yourself that you can trust in

And I said high tide, mid afternoon
People fly by, in the traffics boom
Knowing, just where you are blowing
Getting to where you should be going

Day by day your world fades away
Waiting to feel all the dreams that say
Golden rain will bring you riches
All the good things you deserve now

And I say, climbing, forever trying
Find you way out of the wild, wild wood
Said you are gonna find you way out of the wild, wild wood
Wild wild wood

Música - Snuff - Corey Taylor

 


Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me, let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there
Deliver me into my fate
If I'm alone, I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change, I hope I never know

I still press your letters to my lips
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your light
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

So save your breath, I will not hear
I think I made it very clear
You couldn't hate enough to love
Is that supposed to be enough?
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
My own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
My love was punished long ago
If you still care, don't ever let me know

If you still care, don't ever let me know

Música - American Woman - Lenny Kravitz

 


   

Y para celebrar los epítetos que me destinarán los administradores de la comunidad de vecinos por obligarles a aflorar 24.000 y pico euros, está aquí el sexy Lenny y la canción que me dedico. Desconozco lo que pensarán el resto de vecinos, pero me he ganado un apodo, como poco: "es como un perro con un hueso"; de nada.

Música - The Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil"


Espantoso aquelarre donde The Rolling Stones y John Lennon simpatizan con el diablo.



  

 Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long years

Stole million man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg

When I saw it was a time for a change

Killed Tsar and his ministers

Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank

Held a general's rank

When the blitzkrieg raged

And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name, oh yeah

Ah, what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah

I watched with glee

While your kings and queens

Fought for ten decades

For the gods they made

I shouted out

Who killed the Kennedys?

When after all

It was you and me

Let me please introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

And I laid traps for troubadours

Who get killed before they reached Bombay

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah

But what's confusing you

Is just the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal

And all the sinners saints

As heads is tails

Just call me Lucifer

'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

So if you meet me

Have some courtesy

Have some sympathy, and some taste

Use all your well-learned politnesse

Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah

But what's puzzling you

Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down

Woo, who

Oh yeah, get on down

Oh yeah

Aah yeah

Tell me baby, what's my name?

Tell me honey, can ya guess my name?

Tell me baby, what's my name?

I tell you one time, you're to blame

What's my name

Tell me, baby, what's my name?

Tell me, sweetie, what's my name?

Ah, And Happy Apocalipsis!

Conjunción Júpiter-Saturno, diciembre 2020


Eclipse solar, fotografiado desde Argentina, diciembre 2020


Imagen espectral del Sol


La Luna, por Zach Cooley, el cazador de lunas


“Para los videntes de todas las épocas, ese ha sido siempre un tema de gran interés, porque tiene que ver con el verdadero propósito de nuestra existencia. De forma que los antiguos emplearon la videncia para investigarlo y descubrieron que, al principio, la energía toma forma física para evolucionar.

Su siguiente observación fue que, si bien la vida biológica tiene un período limitado de tiempo y después deja de existir, la energía que anima a la materia es eterna. Vieron que, a través de la disciplina y la autodeterminación, es posible entrenar a ese manojo de energía que nos conforma para que se haga consciente de sí misma.

Uniendo ambos descubrimientos, esos brujos videntes se propusieron ser conscientes para siempre. A eso se refieren cuando hablan de alcanzar la libertad; lo que realmente tratan de hacer es estirar la individualidad de la consciencia por tan largo período de tiempo como les sea posible.

Esa es una batalla fenomenal, donde la llama de la conciencia lucha denodadamente, a cada momento, por mantenerse encendida. Es realmente, como se ha dicho, la luz de una vela frente al brillo de un billón de estrellas.”

"El secreto de la serpiente emplumada. Más conversaciones con Carlos Castaneda", Armando Torres, 2010

Música - The White Stripes "Ball and Biscuit"



 "Ball and Biscuit"

   It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl

But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son

It's quite possible that I'm your third man, girl

But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son

And right now you could care less about me

But soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done

 

Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar

And take our sweet little time about it

Let's have a ball, girl

And take our sweet little time about it

Tell everybody in the place to just get out

And we'll get clean together

And I'll find me a soap box where I can shout it

Yeah

 

Hey

Yeah, read it in the newspaper

Ask your girlfriends and see if they know

Read it in the newspaper

Ask your girlfriends and see if they know

That my strength is ten fold, girl

I'll let you see if you want to before you go

 

Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar

And take our sweet little time about it

Let's have a ball

And take our sweet little time about it

Tell everybody in the place to just get out

We'll get clean together

And I'll find me a soap box where I can shout it

Yeah, I can think of one or two things to say about it

Alright, listen

 

You get the point now?

 

Yeah, it's quite possible that I'm your third man

But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son

It was the other two which made me your third

But it's my mother who made me the seventh son

And right now you could care less about me

But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done

Yeah, you just wait

Yeah, stick around

You'll figure it out

   

One of the sexiest songs of all times, yeah!

Feliz Apocalipsis - Viejas Ideas, Nuevas Mentes IV


             

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinkin' to myself
This could be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lit up a candle
And she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz, uh
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
That she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember
Some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
And she said, "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"
And in the master's chambers
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax", said the night man
"We are programmed to receive
You can check out any time you like
But you can never leave"

   
¡Ah, y Feliz Apocalipsis!
