Cathedral walls, de Swallow the Sun

Where do we go from here
When these words have been unspoken
We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain
The convoy is still, still and weaping
Yet I don’t feel anything, but these walls around

And the candles on cathedral walls
Chase the weak light under the saints eyes
Over you and your shattered words for the ones you lost
In your mourning you’re alone, so alone

This silence speaks a million words
Words of comfort so shallow
How I wish even for one tear
But for my heart it‘s too late
Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate
Where do I go from here

The guardian angels quiet and near
Slowly turning away, for hell is surely here
Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot
Carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut

I will follow you, earth to earth
I will follow you, ashes to ashes
I will follow you, dust to dust
I will follow you

How I wish even for one tear
But for my heart it’s too late
When sorrow turns to hate

And the candles on cathedral walls
Chase the weak light under the saints eyes
Over you and your shattered words for the ones you lost
In your mourning you’re alone, so alone
 

Eterns Fragile dreams dels Anathema...

Tonight your soul sleeps, but one day you feel real pain.

Maybe then you will see me as I am, a fragile wreck on a storm of emotion.
 

New moon, would you open the gates...

Levantad todas vuestras promesas rotas, llamad a mis amantes por sus nombres...

"Before the rain", de Duran Duran

A stormy summer
is rolling closer
lighting up this holy smoker
and if this drinking
could ease the thinking
I toast to my home truth with this glass

All rise you promises broken
call my lovers by their names
lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
which blows before the rain

Little pin-pricks
and how my ears bleed
on the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat
in every life-flash
in every car crash
I hear the silence waiting to fall

All rise you promises broken
call my lovers by their names
lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
which blows before the rain

For all I carry
are murdered secrets
the price of my blue star-eyed weakness
and so we travel
and we unravel
towards the place where all loose ends go

All rise you promises broken
call my lovers by their names
lost hearts and words that are spoken to the wind
which blows before the rain.

Defy the limits and fly (seguim amb els germans Cavanagh)

Above the clouds

We flew to heaven

Through the eye of the storm

And into to the light

I see you

You're everywhere I go

In everything I do

I dreamed a thousand years

Just to be here where everything is right

Scrape those screamless skies

Defy the limits and fly

I see you

You're everywhere I go

In everything I do

I see you

You're everywhere I go

In everything I do

Celestiales...

Apagarse lentamente

It's in my heart; it's in your soul,
You choose to judge,
Is that your role?
Don't analyse or complicate,
You'll critisise, you can't relate...

And now you want some understanding.
What's my point of view?
Then I'll just fade away
When I hear all your lies I choke
Then I'll just fade away
Suffering from the times you spoke I fade

Regarding more? just seems much less.
So cynical you must confess.
I'm dying here, completely blind
Your will to live- just dampens mine,

And now you want some understanding...
What's my point of view?

Introspecció

You don't throw your life away
Going inside
You get to know who's watching you
And who besides you resides
In your body
Where you're slow
Where you go doesn't matter
'cause there will come a time
When time goes out the window
And you'll learn to drive out of focus
I'm you and if anything unfolds
It's supposed to
You don't throw your time away sitting still
I'm in a chain of memories
It's my will
And I had to consult some figures of my past
And I know someone after me
Will go right back
I'm not telling a view
I've got this night to unglue
I moved this fight away
By doing things there's no reason to do

We were close, very, very close

They're shouting my name...

 

A thousand people yell,

They're shouting my name,

But I want to die in this moment,

I want to die,

And a thousand people smile

They're smiling at me

But I want to die in this moment,

I want to die,

No way to understand

Why I've become the way I am,

But when the sky if filled with stars,

I find the place inside my heart,

Some people can take a blow

And won’t ever drop,

But I want to die in this moment,

I want to die,

She will tell me she loves me

And she won’t ever stop,

But I want to die in this moment,

I want to die,

A coldness in my soul

And I reach out for her to hold,

And then I watch her close her eyes,

It's only me that needs to cry

And if I stay with you,
Do you believe that love comes true?

No way to understand

Why I've become the way I am,

And when the sky is filled with stars,

I find the place inside my heart,

And then I watch her close her eyes,

It's only me who needs to cry,

A thousand people yell,

They're shouting my name,

But I want to die in this moment,
I want to die.

El grunge en fotos (Michael Lavine)

El próximo 15 de octubre, Abraham Image pone a la venta un libro titulado “Grunge”, cuyo responsable principal es el conocido fotógrafo neoyorquino Michael Lavine.

“Grunge” recoge fotografías tomadas durante los años 90 a bandas como Nirvana, Mudhoney, Beat Happening, Smashing Pumpkins, entre otras, incluyendo imágenes de la gente que asistía a sus shows.

Para ubicar la figura de Lavine, recordar que fue uno de los fotógrafos habituales de la casa Sub Pop, trabajando en la realización de fotos de discos de Nirvana (Nevermind e In Utero), Soundgarden, Mudhoney y Screaming Trees, entre otros. Y, para más inri, era amigo de Cobain.

Son 160 páginas y 180 ilustraciones en blanco y negro. Además, el libro contiene un texto escrito por el mismísimo Thurston Moore de los Sonic Youth que nos habla sobre la escena musical de Seattle, las bandas del movimiento y, cómo no, de su colega Kurt.

You've got to believe...

The sunshine fills my hair and dreams hang in the air...

Intensidad titánica: "el infierno en llamas"...

Ce joli monde

Bones sinking like stones

All that we've fought for

All these places we've grown

All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world

Bones sinking like stones

All that we've fought for

All these places we've grown

All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world

And we live in a beautiful world

Yeah we do, yeah we do

We live in a beautiful world

Oh all that I know

There's nothing here to run from

'Cos yeah, everybody here's got somebody to lean on.

Un últim adéu...

Els germans Cavanagh se la van dedicar a la seva mare, jo te la dedico a tu, padrina. T'estimo.

How I needed you

How I grieve now you're gone

In my dreams I see you

I awake so alone

I know you didn't want to leave

Your heart yearned to stay

But the strength I always loved in you

Finally gave way

Somehow I knew you would leave me this way

Somehow I knew you could never, never stay

And in the early morning light

After a silent peaceful night

You took my heart away

And my being

In my dreams I can see you

I can tell you how I feel

In my dreams I can hold you

And it feels so real

I still feel the pain

I still feel your love

I still feel the pain

I still feel your love

And somehow I knew you could never, never stay

And somehow I knew you would leave me

And in the early morning light

After a silent peaceful night

You took my heart away

Oh I wish, I wish you could have stayed

Requiescat in pace

Heaven's eyes will never dry...

Whose tears on a gaping voice
Who's stretching arms match
The hunger of mine
There lips will they never join
But always draw me closer
And further entwined
With a promise dealer understand
All freedoms fade away
To a point of view
Where many different pathways meet
And we're standing on this precipice
With nothing much to gain save
But the deep blue screams
Of falling dreams
With our next move

Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry

The shades of a thousand steel
Come flashing by my face
In the fury of war
In desolation and abandoned fields
The hungry make their stand
When they'll stand for no more
Hear the passion in their voices
See the heaven in their eyes
Their hopes and schemes are waiting
Dreams of less than paradise
And sometimes we make promises
We never mean to keep
For blackmail is the only deal
A promise dealer sees

Heaven hide your eyes
Heaven's eyes will never dry

"Curse life", de Shape of Despair

Wherever there is light

Jane passes through the crowds

outside the mercury lounge.

She loves the city sounds.

She feels that she's been found.

Wherever there is light,

she follows.

The bats are out again,

kids shout in Summer rain -

for real, imagined, shame,

for things they cannot name.

She thinks of all their bright,

tomorrows.

Wherever there is light,

she follows.

Walk in and out of rooms.

Fall in and out of love.
