Una de esas delicias que querría compartir siempre… una canción que resume en poco más de cuatro minutos optimismo, melancolía, despedidas, bienvenidas, alegrías y tristezas. Otra de mis piedras preciosas, en formato de canción.

Es el tema que, probablemente, más me recuerde mi paso de un hemisferio al otro con las implicaciones que ello conlleva, capaz de derribarme a&uactue;n hoy en cualquier sitio donde la escuche… demasiados recuerdos, demasiadas sensaciones, demasiadas excepectativas, demasiadas decepciones, demasiadas alegrías pero fundamentalmente demasiada vida. Años 1996, 1997, 1998 y 1999.

Tan sólo unos minutos capaces de cambiar todo un día… o toda una vida. Melodía reservada para supervivientes.

Gracias.

The Survivors
[tennant/lowe]

Cross a windy bridge
One winter night
Past embankment gardens
Enter warmth and light

Face the music
(it’s never easy)
Forget the chill

Face the future
(it’s never easy)
Find the will

If life is worth living
It’s got to be done
One might be forgiven
For thinking
It’s a life on the run

Many roads will cross through
Many lives
But somehow you survive

Look around
Picture whats in store
Is this the final edit
Or is the subject now a bore?

Dont shrug your shoulders
(it’s always easy)
You cant ignore

That life is worth living
It’s still worth a damn
One might be forgiven
For thinking
It’s something of a sham

Many words may make it sound contrived
But somehow were alive
(the survivors)
Our heads bowed
(the survivors)
At memorials for other faces in the crowd

Teachers and artists
(it’s never easy)
And saturday girls
In suits or sequins
(it’s never easy)
Or twinsets-and-pearls

If life is worth living
It’s got to be run
As a means of giving
Not as a race
To be won

Many roads will run through
Many lives
But somehow we’ll arrive

Many roads will run through
Many lives
But somewhere we’ll survive
