Bueno, ya que terminé con la parte del disco conceptual de Animal empiezo con el nuevo Wish You Were Here. Depaso en este post quiero recordar a uno de los priemeros miembros de Pink Floyd: Syd Barret. La semana pasada (el 8 de julio) se cumplieron 4 años de su muerte (desde el 2006) y como este disco está sumamente basado en él, no puedo hacer menos que dedicarle esto.
Ayer estaba viendo The Wall (sí lo se, soy re vicio) y cuando vi que Pink se rapaba y depilaba sus cejas, no pude hacer menos que pensar en Syd, porque cuando entró al estudio gordito y rapado, mientras grababan "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", SU canción, fue tan shokeante... es más, Roger Waters no pudo cantar en esa canción (en la grabación) porque de tanto cantarla se había quedado sin voz...aaay (L)
Y como ya puse Shine On You Crazy Diamond antes, ahora pongo otra canción que es para vos Syd:
Wish You Were Here...
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground. What have we found?
The same old fears,
wish you were here.
blue skies from pain.
