Falling Life

2011-10-15T18:28:00.000+02:00

"Altogether, the task of estimating the length of human life (of animals' we presume not to speak) is beyond our capacity, for directly we say that it is ages long, we are reminded that it is briefer than the fall of a rose leaf to the ground. Of the two forces which alternately, and what is more confusing still, at the same moment, dominate our unfortunate numbskulls - brevity and diuturnity - Orlando was sometimes under the influence of the elefant-footed deity, then of the gnat-winged fly. Life seemed to him of prodigious length. Yet even so, it went like a flash."

Geschichte

2011-09-15T19:45:00.000+02:00

Sentarse y contar la misma historia de siempre. Pero como nunca antes nadie la había contado. Con los matices de esta vida. Hablar sobre alguien que no conocía la amistad, a pesar de desearla ardientemente. Y que no sabía que la amistad lo buscaba. Esa noche recibió una llamada.

Die selbe und übliche Geschichte zu erzählen. Das aber wie niemand davor diese Geschichte erzählt hätte. Mit den Nuancen dieses Lebens. Etwas über einen Mann, der die Freundschaft nie erlebt hätte, obwohl er sie leidenschaftlich gewollt hätte, und der von der Freundschaft gesucht wurde. Diese Nacht hat er einen Anruf bekommen.

Soledad

Yearning

2011-09-10T17:46:00.000+02:00

"[Love] is always poor, and anything but tender and fair, as the many imagine him; and he is rough and squalid, and has no shoes, nor a house to dwell in; on the bare earth exposed he lies under the open heaven, in-the streets, or at the doors of houses, taking his rest; and like his mother he is always in distress. Like his father too, whom he also partly resembles, he is always plotting against the fair and good; he is bold, enterprising, strong, a mighty hunter, always weaving some intrigue or other, keen in the pursuit of wisdom, fertile in resources; a philosopher at all times, terrible as an enchanter, sorcerer, sophist. He is by nature neither mortal nor immortal, but alive and flourishing at one moment when he is in plenty, and dead at another moment, and again alive by reason of his father's nature."

Symposium, Plato

(trad. Benjamin Jowett)

¡Cuántas cosas hermosas! los confines

de la aurora del Ganges, la secreta

alondra de la noche de Julieta.

El pasado está hecho de jardines.

Los amantes, las naves, la curiosa

enciclopedia que nos brinda ayeres,

los ángeles del gnóstico, los seres

que soñó Blake, el ajedrez, la rosa,

el Cantar de los Cantares del hebreo,

esa flor que florece en el desierto

de la atroz escritura, el mar abierto

del álgebra y las formas de Proteo.

Quedan tantas estrellas todavía;

 ideas and they come quick and they change
 and they leave and they come back in a
 different form and I think we're all
 taught we should be consistent.  Y'know?
 You love someone -- that's it.  Forever.
 You choose to do something with your life
 -- that's it, that's what you do.  It's a
 sign of maturity to stick with that and
 see things through.  And my feeling is
 that's how you die, because you stop
 listening to what is true, and what is
 true is constantly changing.  You know?

La música que nos queda

2010-12-31T09:00:00.001+01:00

Nuevamente, aquí está lo más escuchado por indagar en Lastfm. Los videos a veces no hacen justicia a las canciones, pero una que otra gran imagen por ahí se encontrarán.

See the Light

Antes del conteo, aunque no hace parte de la lista de lo obsesivamente escuchado, pueden oir aquí esta hermosa canción de Sparklehorse, quien desafortunadamente murió este año.

(10)

Here Comes The Flood
El descubrimiento de este año fue Peter Gabriel (todo eso se demora uno en apreciar las cosas buenas)

(9)

24-25

Una canción que va machacando la desesperanza. Gran composición de Kings of Convenience.

(8)

Grace

De uno de los grupos que aparecían en la lista de 2009, U2, la única canción que este año repite.

(7)

Scars on Land

Vuelve Kings of Convenience con sus metáforas.

(6)

And I Love Her

The Beatles

"And if you saw my love, you'd love her too"

(5)

Aria da Capo

Una interpretación de Glenn Gould de las Goldberg Variationen

(4)

My Ship isn't Pretty

La canción más triste, y quizá la mejor, del álbum Declaration of Dependence de Kings of Convenience.

(3)

Aria da Capo

Johann Sebastian Bach

El listado no podía dejar de ser monotemático (aunque gracias a Dios el monotema es Bach).

(2)

One

Gran canción. Es algo como una descripción de la humanidad - Nota: el video filmado en Berlín es increíble, pero no logré encontrarlo en Youtube.

This Time

Robi Draco Rosa ha hecho quizá el mejor disco en español que conozco. Esta canción no hace parte de ese disco, pero es la propia para este tiempo.
