Una cosa lleva a otra

Si al final va a ser verdad que está todo enlazado.

 

Esta tarde estaba medio-viendo Smallville (mientras preparaba la cena) y al final del capítulo ha sonado una canción. Me parecía que podía ser Fiona Apple, de la que hace mucho tiempo que no pongo nada . El caso es que no era de Fiona Apple sino de Missy Higgins, una cantante australiana de la que no había oido hablar en mi vida. Indagando un poco sobre ella me h encontrado con que ha hecho una gira por EEUU con (uno de mis grupos fetiche) Ben Folds Five. Y buscando alguna review de su disco me encuentro con que Prefab Sprout (mi primer vinilo) ha sacado un disco a partir de unas demos grabadas en 1992. No es un nuevo disco propiamente dicho porque lleva 17 años grabado pero es lo único nuevo que han publicado en ocho años, así que ya estoy haciendo lo posible por conseguirlo cuanto antes. Y como no, caerá alguna canción de Prefab Sprout en los próximos días.

 

Mientras tanto hoy ración doble, la canción que he escuchado de Missy Higgins y una versión de Fiona Apple (de un éxito que popularizó Sinatra) del disco tributo a Cy Coleman. Y que casualidad, resulta que Missy Higgins tocará en octubre en NY en el concierto tributo a Cy Coleman. Al final también estaban enlazadas.

 

 

 

Missy Higgins - Where I Stood

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

 

There were sounds in my head
LIttle voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

 

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

 

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

 

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

 

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

 

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood

Fiona Apple - Why try to change me now

 

I'm sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I've got some habits
That I can't explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
Why try to change me now

I sit and daydream
I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I go away weekends
And leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now

Why can't I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that's not for me
Cuz I can't see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by

So let people wonder
Let 'em laugh
Let 'em frown
You know I'll love you
Till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now

Don't you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me
Why try to change me now
