Aquesta és una de les grans cançons de la meva vida. Un xaval que aleshores tenia 20 anys em va dir que el misteri és "estimar i se estimat" ... i l´he seguit com el dogma més preciat que tinc
La intel.ligència és un do, però el que realment té mèrit és la generositat, la humilitat i la tendresa....
No tot ha de ser un brutal i salvatge "quid pro quo" .
No és una cançó fàcil, ni que entri a la primera però és una petita joia literària plena d´imatges plenes d´humanitat i de vida.
Una lliçó en tota regla.
LLàstima d´aquells que es creguin massa guais com per no aprendre dels altres
Well, I awoke in relief.
My sheets and tubes were all tangled weak from whiskey and pills,
in a Chicago hospital.
And my father was there, in a chair, by the window, staring so far away.
I tried talking, just whispered, "...so sorry...so selfish..."
He stopped me and said, "Child I love you regardless
and there's nothing you could do that would ever change this.
I'm not angry. It happens. But you just can't do it again."
So now I try to keep up, I've been exchanging my currency.
While a million objects pass through my periphery.
Now I'm rubbing my eyes 'cause they're starting to bother me.
I've been staring too long at the screen.
But where was it when I first heard a sweet sound of humility?
It came to my ears in the goddamn loveliest melody.
How grateful I was then to be part of the mystery,
to love and to be loved. Let's just hope that is enough.
