Rola de la semana: Salt in the Wound - Delta Spirit

 

Salt in the wound

Delta Spirit

From History From Below [2010]

I want to disappear

Far from the folks I know

I want to get an answer

To why I was even born

No one here can tell me

What's been haunting me all my life

Well this rat race has left me limping

Cause I balanced on the edge of the edge of the knife

Why am I here?

Oh what should I do?

Well is this the point I'm trying to prove?

If there's a god in my head

Then there's a devil too

How can I tell the difference

When they both claim to be true

Maybe God is God

Maybe the Devil is me

Well I just throw my chains on

And tell myself that I'm free

Chains - are they really there?

Is this just in my head?

Well I'll just stay in bed

Life sure has its meaning

Over years I have postured the sun

Thieves and preachers robbed me

For many hat that I've hung

Now with my heart wide open

I listen to the wind just for a word

Sure, I know it's futile

But that's all I have in this world

To look down from the hill

And howl at the moon

All the tears I cried never salted any wounds

Well the earth is so tender and cruel

Well if you're not there it's still so beautiful.

Una de las canciones más bellas que he escuchado en mucho tiempo y que me recuerda al folk de Fanfarlo hoy fue recuperada a través de la televisión abierta, que (apenas) transmite la séptima temporada de Grey’s Anatomy. Pocas canciones llegan a ser consecuentes en mi vida: ésta se presenta justo en el arranque de una nueva temporada. Siento que no podré dejar de escucharla en un buen rato. La voz de Matt Vasquez es inolvidable, se sostiene con una base monótona de cuerdas y percusiones ocultas in crescendo a la par de la melodía a cargo de un piano suave que provocan la sensación de estar escuchando un profundo tema espiritual, similar a “Atlas” (Fanfarlo, 2009). Espero que puedan percibir la potente armonía de “Salt in the wound”.
