Una gran y sabia amiga una vez me recomendó la serie de TV One Tree Hill. En ese momento, en el cual esta pasando por un rough patch, llené las horas del verano viendo esta serie que me fascinó desde el primer capítulo. Muchos de uds pensarán que es super dramática y mala pero, yo dudo que así lo sea ya que no sólo ha sobrevivido 7 temporadas y está dentro de las 15 series de TV con más rating en EEUU sino que además sacaron a los 2 personajes principales y la serie sigue siendo un éxito! Pero bueno, case in point, lo que quiero compartir con uds son dos canciones que, ironicamente, pasaron en un mismo capítulo y que me tocaron profundamente. Y cada vez que escucho cualquiera de estas dos canciones recuerdo perfectamente lo que sentí la primera vez que las escuché y todo lo que pasó por mi mente. Aquí les dejo este video acompañado de la letra para cuando estén sintiéndose melancólicos o con ganas de escuchar una melodía triste..
Canción 1: Here Comes a Regular
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst
after a hard day of nothin' much at all
summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass
there ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
And sometimes i just ain't in the mood
to take my place in back with the loudmouths
you're like a picture on the fridge that's never stocked with food
i used to live at home, now i stay at the house
And everybody wants to be special here
they call your name out loud and clear
here comes a regular
call out your name
here comes a regular
am i the only one here today?
Well a drinkin' buddy that's bound to another town
once the police made you go away
and even if you're in the arms of someone's baby now
i'll take a great big whiskey to ya anyway
Everybody wants to be someone's here
someone's gonna show up, never fear
'cause here comes a regular
call out your name
here comes a regular
am i the only one who feels ashamed?
Kneeling alongside old sad eyes
he says opportunity knocks once then the door slams shut
all i know is i'm sick of everything that my money can buy
the fool who wastes his life, god rest his guts
First the lights, then the collar goes up, and the wind begins to blow
turn your back on a pay-you-back, last call
first the glass, then the leaves that pass, then comes the snow
ain't much to rake anyway in the fall
Canción 2: World Spins Madly On (The Weepies)
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I thought of you..
and where you'd gone
And let the world, Spin Madly On
I, always said goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving
And I'm standing still
Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay in motionless in bed
The night is here and day is gone
And the world spins madly on
The thought of you
the way you're gone
And the world spins madly on
And the world spins madly on
Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst

Final note: El título del post se lo dedico al capítulo 3x13 de OTH (se llama así). Y aprovecho para recomendar esta serie a cualquiera q esté desempleado o vagueando y sin nada que hacer.. Musicalmente hablando, ITS GENIOUS!
