Tradiciones.
Desde hace un buen tiempo siempre escojo esta canción de mi banda favorita de
todos los tiempos, los Zombies británicos de los 60, para desear una feliz
entrada de nuevo año y que todos nuestros deseos se cumplan (o mejor dicho,
nuestros buenos deseos, lógicamente si el deseo de alguien es entrar en un
McDonalds portando un subfusil y liarse a tiros con todo ser viviente,
parecería un poco retorcido animar a que se cumpliese tal deseo)… a veces lo
acompañaba del “It was a very good year” de Frank Sinatra, de su extraordinario
LP “In the wee small hours”, para despedir el año saliente. Llego a un punto en
el que ya no sé si el año ha sido bueno, malo, pésimo o peor, pero siempre toco
madera, como diría Eddie Floyd. No voy a hacer reflexiones profundas sobre la
vida en este momento, simplemente os diré que me alegro de estar vivo y de
poder seguir disfrutando de las toneladas de cosas buenas que tiene esta vida y
este mundo, por mucho que también haya que lidiar con paladas de mierda.
Simplemente tener a mi lado a alguien que dé significado al comienzo de esta
canción (“The warmth of your love is like the warmth of the sun”) hace que me
pueda sentir feliz y dar gracias a la vida.
Espero que
disfruten de este tema tanto como yo. Particularmente me gusta este video
casero de you tube que alguien realizó hace un tiempo, con imágenes de sus
seres queridos, sus recuerdos, e imagino que su infancia. Un rollo un poco
“Aquellos maravilloso años”, que con la fastuosa banda sonora que siempre
significa un grupo modélico en composición y ejecución de la música pop como
The Zombies funciona, vaya que si funciona.
Feliz año a
todos, amigos, esperamos seguir eyaculando palabras en este año venidero.
The
warmth of your love
is like the warmth of the sun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
don't let go of my hand
now darkness has gone
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
smile for me, little one
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
You don't have to worry
all your worried days are gone
this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
Yeah we only just begun
yeah this will be our year
took a long time to come
is like the warmth of the sun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
don't let go of my hand
now darkness has gone
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
smile for me, little one
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
You don't have to worry
all your worried days are gone
this will be our year
took a long time to come
and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come
Yeah we only just begun
yeah this will be our year
took a long time to come
