Este Blog es un Bajón (parte 2)

Hay varias formas de lograr golpes de efecto en canciones, uno de mis favoritos, es por ejemplo, ir directo al grano (como en el tema anterior de elliott smith, con su estructura verso-estribillo-verso-estribillo, sin complicaciones, terminandola en esa bajada de La mayor a La menor que es tristísima). Otro recurso que me gusta mucho es basar el tema en la repetición absoluta y constante. Eso ocurre en este tema de Chan Marshall, también conocida como Cat Power. Solo 2 acordes en piano. Nada más, durante casi 7 minutos. En algunos momentos se hace largo, y sin duda quizas podria haber sido un poco más corto. Pero el efecto que llega a lograr en algunos momentos es sublime.



Cat Power - Colours & The Kids

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

It must just be the colors
And the kids that keep me alive
'Cause I wanna go ride away
To a January night
Built a shack with an old friend
He was someone I could learn from
Someone I could become

Will you meet me down
On a sandy beach
We can roll up our jeans
So the tide won't get us below the knees

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
Slender fingers
Would hold me slender limbs would hold me
And you could say my name
Like you knew my name

I could stay here
Become someone different
I could stay here
Become someone better

It's so hard to go in the city
'Cause you wanna say hello to everybody
It's so hard to go into the city
'Cause you wanna say hey I love you to everybody
When we were teenagers we wanted to be the sky
Now all we wanna do is go to red places
And try to stay outta hell

It must be the colors
And the kids
That keep me alive
'Cause the music is boring me to death

it must just be the colors
And it must just be the kids
That keep me alive on this January night.

Yellow hair
You are a funny bear
Yellow hair
You are such a funny bear
