Alguien Puede Decir Amen?
Hola A tod@s!!
A decir verdad, hoy os voy a recomendar algo que nunca desaparecería de mi cargador de CD´s si es que tuviera uno. Puede que conozcais a Paula Cole o puede que no... solo ha editado tres discos a pesar de ser joven todavía y ahora mantiene pugnas legales para publicar su próxima literatura musicada, porque casi es así lo que ella hace.
Una de sus obras más conocidas es la canción del principio de "Dawson Crece", la serie de televisión. Durante finales de los noventa era quizás la mayor estrella del folk-pop en USA, junto a gente como a Sarah McLachlan y otras chicas aguerridas.
Su mayor problema es que es demasiado comprometida politicamente y el hecho de estar fuertemente en contra de Bush la ha hecho practicamente desaparecer del mapa. Bueno, no os doy la charla más y os dejo una de las letras de sus canciones, "Amen" que da titulo a su último disco hasta la fecha.
"I'm siphoning gass from the high school bus
Into the tank of my beat-up bug
So I can drive away from the shouting and misery
I drive into the night, to the hill, to the water tower
To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower
Knowing that many men have lain as i do now
Ptolemy,Copernicus,Carl Jung
Pondering his existence,pondering,
Is God with me now?
And I look to the sky
And I ask these questions
Yes,I feel something I don't understand
Can somebody say Amen?
My life is but a short and precious seed
Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a tree
And when I cascade to the ground I will not be done
I will mingle with the earth and give life
To the roots again
Can somebody say Amen?
And I look to the sky
And I ask these questions
Yes, I feel something I don't understand
Can somebody say Amen?
Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks
Amen for our mothers,for the lust to fuck
Amen for the child with innocent eyes
Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die
Amen for NASA,The NSA
It's all a front anyway
Amen for Marilyn Manson,Saddam Hussein
Amen for America and the Milky Way.
Amen for Elvis,for Betty Page
Amen for Gloria Steinham and Ronald Reagan
Amen for O.J.,Clinton too
Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup
Amen for Gandhi,for Malcolm X
Amen for the uprising of the weaker sex
Amen for Babylon, the third world's call,
Amen for the unity of us all
Amen,Amen,Amen
And I am not unique.
We are all leave on this great big tree.
this tree that is life,that is God,that is you,that is me
And I lie under my tree like the Buddhas before and after me
And I ask the stars, "What for?"
Yes, I feel something I can't explain
A light that flickers off and on again
And I look to the sky
And I ask these questions
Yes, I feel something I don't understand
Oh,can somebody say Amen?"
Paula Cole Band, Amen.
