I am not Beck

Desde ayer èsta canciòn se ha convertido en la ùnica que he podido escuchar en las ùltimas horas;dado que la frescura,hermosura y tranquilidad que me transmiten son sublimes.El tema se llama "The Empty Page" y pertenece al disco "Murray Street" (2.001) y la banda es Sonic Youth.
Si bien la banda es la precursora del noise rock,aca parece bastante alejada de ello,destilando melodias simples,relajadas y precisas.Escuchen el muy bonito solo de Moore.
El video no es la gran cosa pero refleja el eterno espìritu alternativo que ha caracterizado siempre a la banda.Muy bueno el comienzo del mismo,cuando la bajista Kim Gordon escribe sobre la remera de Thurston Moore (su esposo),la frase:I AM NOT BECK,en una clara referencia a que a Moore le debe romper bastante las pelotas que le digan de su parecido con el Sr de apellido Hansen,(algo inevitable).
En fìn,una preciosa canciòn.


La letra:

These are the words but not the truth
God bless them all when they speak to you
But that's alright
On an empty stage
Sing out when
There's no other way

Come drift the town where secrets lie
Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by
But that's alright
You're here to stay
Sing out tonight
The empty page

I always thought I'd see
Your name in flashing light
You did it all for free, girl
And freely ripped the night
You're free to fight

These are the words but not the truth
God bless them all when they speak to you
But that's alright
You're here to stay
Sing out tonight
The empty page

Do you remember the time
When you were new in town
You smashed your head in the mirror,baby
And kissed the frozen ground
Yr ripped up sound

The empty page has wasted down
The empty page is ripped
The empty page will waste this town
The empty page has slipped
