Diéresis

Nobleza obliga. En el blog del amigo "dos puntitos" hay una entrada con mi nombre que ejemplifica dos canciones que a él le alegran el alma.
Yo no las conocía, ni siquiera la de M.E. Walsh porque aparentemente no tuve infancia. Le agradezco sobremanera el habérmelas hecho conocer.
A mí, que soy más extranjerizante y hippie me alegra el alma la siguiente canción, "Scarlet Begonias", begonias escarlatas.
Para muchos viejos hippies "el sueño terminó" cuando lo asesinaron a John Lennon. Para mí cuando el cantante y guitarrista de esta canción murió de coma diabético.
Es lo que los americanos llaman "laid back music", música para reclinarte en tu sillón.
Psicodelia, flores escarlatas, globos y clima de fiesta, una alegría medida pero que se mete por los poros.
Un reencuentro con la fiesta que olvidamos que es la existencia.
Un banquete.
Ladies and gentlemen.....

  1. As I was walkin' round Grosvenor Square
    Not a chill to the winter
    but a nip to the air
    From the other direction
    she was calling my eye
    It could be an illusion
    but I might as well try
    Might as well try.

    She had rings on her fingers and
    bells on her shoes,
    And I knew without askin' she was
    into the blues
    Scarlet begonias
    tucked into her curls
    I knew right away
    she was not like other girls--
    other girls

    In the thick of the evening
    when the dealing got rough
    She was too pat to open and
    too cool to bluff
    As I picked up my matches and
    was closing the door
    I had one of those flashes:
    I'd been there before--
    been there before.

    [Bridge]
    I ain't often right
    but I've never been wrong
    It seldom turns out the way
    it does in the song
    Once in a while
    you get shown the light
    in the strangest of places
    if you look at it right

    Well there ain't nothin' wrong
    with the way she moves
    Or scarlet begonias or a
    touch of the blues
    And there's nothing wrong with
    the love that's in her eye
    I had to learn the hard way
    to let her pass by--
    let her pass by

    The wind in the willows played Tea for Two
    The sky was yellow and the sun was blue
    Strangers stopped strangers
    just to shake their hand
    Everybody's playing
    in the Heart of Gold Band
    Heart of Gold Band

  2. me encanta que me realgen libros. comida, tambien. pero amo que me regalen canciones, no discos, canciones. y entonces aparece usted, lleno de propuestas preciosas, y trae canciones y bailaes y risas bajo el brazo y me presenta esta cancion que me pone a bailar por el living de casa...
    es una cancion alegre, y pone el cuerpo en un estado emocional interesante.
