el último disco de Portishead...

Publico aqui las letras de las canciones del último disco que salió del grupo británico Portishead... me ha gustado mucho, a pesar de no ser tan depresivo y melódico como los anteriores... electrónico no sé, sería talvez mas apropiado decir que es mas "experimental" y ecléctico para usar la dichosa palabreja... sorprende la bonita canción "Deep water" que no sé porque me recuerda a la música del Sur de Norteamérica... un poquito desafinada (a drede) que le dá un ambiente de grabación antigua junto con los coros masculinos...



The Rip

As she walks in the room
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realise that love flows

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

Through the glory of life
I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

Silence

Esteja alerta para as regras dos três
O que você dá, retornará para você
Essa lição, você tem que aprender
Você só ganha o que você merece

Tempted in our minds
Tormented inside lie
Wounded and afraid
Inside my head
Falling through changes

Did you know when you lost?
Did you know when I wanted?
Did you know what I lost?
Do you know what I wanted?

Empty in our hearts
Crying out in silence
Wandered out of reach
Too far to speak
Drifting unable

Did you know when you lost?
Did you know when I wanted?
Did you know what I lost?
Do you know what I wanted?


We Carry On

The taste of life I can't describe
It's choking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
Faith it can't decide

On and on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life

The pace, the time, I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out which way to choose
A choice I can't renew

Holding on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed, no place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life


Machine Gun

I saw a saviour, a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day
But now I realise that I'm only for me

If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognise the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy will agree with how I feel

Here are my front teeth, what more can I say?
For I am guilty for the voice that I obey
Too scared to sacrifice the choice chosen for me

If only I could see you return myself to me
And recognise the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy to agree with how I feel



Threads

Better if I could find the words to say
Whenever I take a choice it turns away

I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure

I battle my thoughts I find I can't explain
I've travelled so far but somehow feel the same

I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure

I am alive when I sleep
Why am I not in all that I got?
I can't find no one to blame

Stand, stand, damned one
Damned one
Damned one
Damned one

I am one
Damned
One

Where do I go?


Nylon Smile

I'd like to laugh at what you said
but I just can't find a smile
I wonder why you can't
I struggle with myself
hoping I might change a little
hoping that I might be someone I wanna be

looking out I want to know someone might care
looking out I want a reason to be there
cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you
and I don't know what I'll do without you

looking out I want to know some way might clear
looking out I want a reason to repair
cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you
and I don't know what I'll do without you

I can't see nothing good
and nothing is so bad
I never had a chance
to explain exactly what I meant



Hunter

No one said,
We'd ever know each other.
A new evidence, is what we require,
In this world.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.

So confused,
My thoughts are taken over.
Unwanted horizons face me instead,
Won't let go.

I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.

And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.


Magic Doors

I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny, I can't be someone else

when I have tried to find the words
To describe this sense absurd
Try to resist my thoughts
But I can't lie

I've been losing myself
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for

I can't divide or hide from me
I don't know who I'm meant to be
I guess it's just the person that I am

Often I've dreamt that I don't wait
Enjoy the gift of my mistake
Like then again I'm wrong and I confess

I've been losing my self
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for



Small

If I remember the night that we met
Tasted a wine that I'll never forget
Opened the doorway and saw through the light
Motions of movement and I felt delight

She spoke of freedom, "A way in," she said
"A wisdom that took me away from the bed"
Spoke of the glory that we had become
I felt forgiven in all I've become

Small, tasteless, and forgot
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Open to scorn just like me

Failure again
Tried to pretend
Who you were then
Who you are now

Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord

Small, tasteless, and forgot
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Open to scorn just like me

Failure again
Tried to pretend
Who you were then
Who you are now

Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord
Hating the lord



Plastic

I wonder why
I don't know what you see
Of course I care
I won't pretend

It's just a thought
I've said enough
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hardly pray

I could try
But don't know what you hear
'Cause in my heart
You were so clear

It's just a thought
I've said enough
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hardly pray

On your stage
A show that you create
All by yourself
I am nowhere

You never noticed
You were so sure
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hardly pray


Deep Water

I'm drifting in deep water
Alone with my self-doubting, again
Try not to struggle this time
For I will weather the storm

Gotta remember (gonna remember)
Don't fight it (don't fight it)
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/bTpJ ]
Even if I (even if I)
Don't like it (don't like it)

Somehow, turn me around
(Somehow, turn me around)

No matter how far I drift
Deep waters (Deep waters)
Won't scare me tonight

Empezando a blogear...

Bueno... estoy apenas empezando a cacharrear con un blog, no sé que rayos voy a meter aqui, pero bueno, por algo se empieza... supongo que podría empezar con temas de mi interés, a lo mejor nadie lea esto (o a lo mejor si) pero es una forma de expresar por escrito algo de lo que es uno... bueno, la cosa se pone filosófica aqui, pues ya estoy diciendo que "uno" es en cierta forma los temas que le interesan o le gustan; no sé si es favorable o no, pero he pasado por diversas etapas de mi interés en paleontología, empecé con Braquiópodos (conchas) del Paleozoico (periodo comprendido entre hace 540 y 250 millones de años), luego mi interés se dirigió hacia los ostrácodos (otras conchitas pero mas pequeñas) pero mi atención a este grupo se extinguió rapidamente al no existir bibliografía disponible que me permitiera trabajar algo mas comodamente con ellos. Hubo una etapa en que me enfoqué a los foraminíferos (otras Conchas! pero estas sí diminutas en la mayoría de los casos), por cosas de la vida (misteriosos son los caminos del Señor) terminé trabajando con algas calcáreas (que como su nombre lo indica son algas que forman sus paredes celulares de Carbonato de Calcio)... actualmente (Febrero de 2008) no he abandonado mi interés por éstas, sin embargo por oportunidades relacionadas con mi trabajo actual, estoy empezando a trabajar con un vertebrado, un Astrapoterio (para informarse que rayos (o relámpagos?) es un astrapoterio pueden dirigirse al blog de mi amigo Jorge Moreno que se llama "El Pantano del Purussaurus" (www.purussaurus.blogspot.com)¨. (que bien!, acabo de descubrir que esta cosa crea los vinculos automaticamente).
Todo esto es solo en cuanto a la paleontología, pero como dice el nombre del blog, es este un experimento ecléctico. osea que un día podría ingresar información acerca de bichos extintos, junto con letras de canciones de massive atack o de Rocío Durcal, según lo pachuco que amanezca ese día.
Ya me cansé de escribir basura, además tengo cosas que hacer, supongo que puedo esperar comentarios si es que alguien se atreve a entrar o encuentra por casualidad este recóndito paraje de la maraña del cyber-espacio...
