I'm Waking Up To Us

Les a pasado que algunas veces se despiertan con una canción en la mente y ésta suena y suena hasta que tienen que escucharla para alimentar el deseo inconciente de cantarla?. Pues a mi hoy me pasó eso con I'm Waking Up To Us del disco Push Barman to Open Old Wounds de Belle & Sebastian (un grupo de indie pop escocés formado en Glasgow en enero de 1996).

Es de esas canciones que te llenan el alma. De esas canciones que están escritas con el corazón y hechas con todo el amor del mundo (para los que AMAN la música). La voz de Stuart Murdoch es melancólica y triste-dulce a la vez. Los arreglos son maravillosos, especialmente el arreglo de los violines, de una flauta travesera y de los coros que magníficamente engrandecen la melodía principal. Me dan escalofríos cuando pienso en todos los arreglos que tuvieron que hacer para lograr esta melodía y lograr una canción tan bien hecha. Ahí se nota cuando hay profesionales haciendo el trabajo y más que profesionales, gente que ama lo que hace y ama la música. Si tuviera un grupo me gustaría que fuera como Belle & Sebastian o mejor aún, me gustaría pertenecer haciendo coros y tocando la flauta en Belle & Sebastian.

Disfrúten!!


I'm Waking Up To Us Lyrics

i need someone to take some joy in something i do
you need a man who's either rich or losing a screw
you know i love you here's the irony
you're going to walk away intact
i think you never liked me anyway
you like yourself and you like
men to kiss your arse
expensive clothes
please stop me there
i think i'm waking up to us
we're a disaster
you don't want to know me
'cause you move in circles of the brave
where art defines their lives

she was the one love of my life, and i let her go
and if i look like death today,
then please let her know
i never wanted to do harm to her
i only wanted her to see
the beauty of the world surrounding her
but when she opened up her eyes
it's much too late
our chance has gone
she's with a guy
who takes the prize for everything i ever showed her
digging all the fun
because she's older
i fed her with a spoon
i made her mother smile
i helped the kid survive

she was the one love of my life,
she showed me the road
i loved her dog, her steady gaze, the chapter is closed
i always wanted all the best for her
the best thing was to stay away
she grew up and she left the rest of us
and now the understanding's gone
i haven't changed, how could i?
i'm pretty much the same person
i cannot keep the anger hidden anymore
but lucky for you, you are not around
my anger turns to pity and to love
the season has arrived
