No podía dejar pasar un par de canciones que les puede golpear fuerte ha esos parásitos con un ínfimo pedazo que llevan cargando como conciencia, como antibiótico existencial. Hablo de Leonard Cohen con “The future” y Johnny Cash con “God’s gonna cut you down”. Dos poetas del rock que han trascendido no por la ventas de sus discos ni por sus cuentas en el banco, si no por el enorme contenido musical, de esas letras que sin música, fácilmente pueden  ser colocadas en alguna antología o recopilación al lado de Joyce, Cortazar, Quiroga o Ginsberg.

Ambas rolotas pueden encontrarlas en el reproductor de la música del blog.

You can run on for a long time
run on for a long time,
sooner or later God’s gona cut you down.
Go tell that long tongue liar,
go and tell that midnight rider.
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter.
Tell them that God’s gonna cut them down.
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand,
working in the dark against your fellow man
but as sure as God made black and white.
What is down in the dark will be brought to the light…

… take the only tree that’s left
stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I’ve seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won’t be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul…
