Bernardo Bonezzi (1964-2012)
En la foto con Didi St. Louis, cantante de su proyecto Salambo, de 1984. Canciones inencontrables. No les`pongo el consabido "Groenlandia" de los Zombies, seguro que se van a hartar de escucharlo estos días. Quizás alguien se acuerde de que trabajó con Almodóvar o Agustín Díaz Yanes en bandas sonoras...
B-Movie "Nowhere girl"
"
nowhere girl you're living in a dream, nowhere girl you stay behind the scenes, nowhere girl you never go outside, nowhere girl cause you prefer to hide. every night, every day in that all old familiar light you hang up when i call you at home. and i try to get through ant i try to talk to you but there's something stopping me from getting through. nowhere girl what you had you need, nowhere girl all functional and neat, nowhere girl in self-imposed exile, nowhere girl a martyr-like denial. every night, every day in that all old familiar light you hang up when i call you at home. and i try to get through and i try to talk to you but there's something stopping me from getting through.

Madrugada "New woman/ New man"
"
She hits me like a jetstream
Burning everything, sets a torch to my bone dry soul
And all that once layed dead and cold
Now swings and rolls
And the cartwheels and the cartwheels and the windmills knock them down
I don't want no one else around
Just want to play around with this new friend I found
I want her over me
I want her alone with me
I want her to see all of me
A homeless child screams at me
Oh this is who I am
Old woman
New woman, new man
Well, it happened once again
The same thing that happened time and time again
And I should look the other way
But my eyes they just want to stare
Her hips and thighs and eyes
And yellow, shiny hair
She is the feature and the promised land
Just a new woman
New woman, new man
I think of her against me
How we wrestle in white sheets
Her body calling out to me on broad, wide winter streets
I've seen her eyes, I've seen her face
Now I won't sleep with no-one else
A woman ripe against my hand
And any old fool will understand
New woman, new man
She hits me like a jetstream
Burning everything, sets a torch to my bone dry soul
And all that once layed dead and cold
Now swings and rolls
And the cartwheels and the cartwheels and the windmills knock them down
I don't want no one else around
Just want to play around with this new friend I found
I want her over me
I want her alone with me
I want her to see all of me
A homeless child screams at me
Oh this is who I am
Old woman
New woman, new man
Well, it happened once again
The same thing that happened time and time again
And I should look the other way
But my eyes they just want to stare
Her hips and thighs and eyes
And yellow, shiny hair
She is the feature and the promised land
Just a new woman
New woman, new man
I think of her against me
How we wrestle in white sheets
Her body calling out to me on broad, wide winter streets
I've seen her eyes, I've seen her face
Now I won't sleep with no-one else
A woman ripe against my hand
And any old fool will understand
New woman, new man
The Cars "You might think"
"
Oh well uh you might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Or maybe you think I'm lucky
To have somethin' to do
But I think that you're wild
Inside me is some child
You might think I'm foolish
Or maybe it's untrue
(you might think I'm crazy)
You might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
But all I want is you
You might think it's hysterical
But I know when you're weak
You think you're in the movies
And everything's so deep
But I think that you're wild
When you flash that fragile smile
You might think it's foolish
What ya put me through
(you might think I'm crazy)
You might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you
And it was hard so hard to take
There's no escape without a scrape
But you kept it going till the sun fell down
You kept it going
Oh well uh you might think I'm delirious
The way I run you down
But somewhere sometimes
When you're curious
I'll be back around
Oh I think that you're wild
And so-o uniquely styled
You might think it's foolish
This chancy rendezvous
(you might think I'm crazy )
You might think I'm crazy
(all I want is you)
All I want is you-a-oo
All I want is you
(all I want is you)
All I want is you
Oh well uh you might think I'm crazy
To hang around with you
Or maybe you think I'm lucky
To have somethin' to do

The Verve "Love is noise"
"
Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles that are made in China?
Feel the bright prosaic malls
Through the corridors that go on and on and on
I was blind, didn't see
What was here in me
I was lost, insecure
Felt like the road was way too long, yeah
Cause love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that we're feeling again
Love is noise and love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm singing again, again, again
Will those feet in modern times
Understand this righteous anger
Recognize this world's addiction
Understand this world's affliction?
I was blind, didn't see
What was here in me
I was lost, insecure
I felt like the road was way too long, yeah
Cause love is noise and love is pain

Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain

Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Love is noise, love is pain
Love is these blues that I'm feeling again
Come on, come on, ah come on, ah come on
Now come on, now come on, now come on
Now come on
Will those feet in modern times
Walk on soles made in China?
Will those feet in modern times
See the bright prosaic malls?
Will those feet in modern times
Forgive me all my sins
Love is noise

Madrugada feat Ane Brun "Lift me"
"
lift me – lift me from the ground
and don´t ever put me down – oh no
and don’t pick a fight with me
just flip a coin my love – you’ve won
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand
I don´t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours – I’m yours right now
our years – are years well spent
we may never find out where they went – oh no
and I don’t mean to fight with you
now all our troubles and all our struggles they are through
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand
I don´t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours – I’m yours right now
the wolf and the fox
they’re sleeping soundly with the elk and the ox
there’s a starry field around
this lowlit kingdom
where all our defences are down
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand
I don´t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours – I’m yours right now
Wrecked, poor, naked and blind
I’m yours – I’m yours -right now
lift me – lift me from the ground
and don´t ever put me down – oh no
and don’t pick a fight with me
just flip a coin my love – you’ve won
oh Love – slips her hand inside my hand

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan "To hell and back again"
"
I'm in despair, I cannot win
I have been to hell and back again
My doctor knows, he comes and goes
For I'm at Your door, I'm knee up in the storm
My sister says that I should rest
She's been there too and she knows best
A spirit's close, I love the most
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Nothing to fear when He draws near
As the twilight falls to wipe away your tears
When he laid me down, when he brought me around
My baby's prayer, the sweetest sound
I'm in despair, I cannot win
I've been to hell and back again
And back again, and back again
And back again, come back again
I'm in despair, I cannot win
I have been to hell and back again
My doctor knows, he comes and goes
For I'm at Your door, I'm knee up in the storm
My sister says that I should rest
She's been there too and she knows best
A spirit's close, I love the most
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Nothing to fear when He draws near
As the twilight falls to wipe away your tears
When he laid me down, when he brought me around
My baby's prayer, the sweetest sound
I'm in despair, I cannot win
I've been to hell and back again
And back again, and back again
And back again, come back again
The Verve "Sonnet"
My friend and me
Looking through her red box of memories
Faded I'm sure
But love seems to stick in her veins you know
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord
Why can't you see
That nature has its way of warning me
Eyes open wide
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
Yes, there's love if you want it
Don't sound like no sonnet, my lord
My lord
Sinking faster than a boat without a hull
My lord
Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
My side
By my side
Here we go again and my head is gone, my lord
I stop to say hello
'Cause I think you should know, by now
By now
By now
By now
By now
By now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now
Oh, by now

La Última Luz
LA ÚLTIMA LUZ
Eres de cielo hacia la tarde, tienes
ya dorada la luz en las pupilas,
como un poco de nieve atardeciendo
que sabe que atardece.
Y yo querría
cegar del corazón, cegar de verte
cayendo hacia ti misma
como la tarde cae, como la noche
ciega la luz del bosque en que camina
de copa en copa cada vez más alta,
hasta la rama isleña, sonreída
por el último sol,
¡y sé que avanzas
porque avanza la noche! y que iluminas
tres hojas solas en el bosque,
y pienso
que la sombra te hará clara y distinta,
que todo el sol del mundo en ti descansa,
en ti, la retrasada, la encendida
rama del corazón en la que aún tiembla
la luz sin sol donde se cumple el día.

Madrugada "Hold on to you"
"
Take the forward path
Have a big slice of the city
Get the upper hand
While you're still pretty
But you know what we're like
No, they will never respect you
The way you want them to respect you
I think it's very well understood
But I'm
I'm gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on to you
You
Your cracked up shell
A dead opera house
You give yourself to them now
In a game of cat and mouse
From the storyboard
To the bedroom scene
Through eleven World Wars
Other people you have been
Well I'm
Gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on to you
You
Oh I'm
Gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on to you
You
I can come to terms
With slowly going mad
Things we used to fear in the dark
And what ever lies beyond that
But I've come to resemble
My own shadow
As it falls into the sidewalk
I'm no longer anyone I know
No-one here reminds me of you
Yet I see no-one else
On the crowded sidewalk
Well I'm
I'm gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on to you
You
Oh I'm
I'm gonna hold on to you
I'm gonna hold on to you
Hold on to you
Hold on to you

Richard Hawley "Darlin´ wait for me"
"
Darling, wait for me, by your gate,
In the evening light, ah I just can't wait
For I have to go, in the morning too soon
So honey don't you cry, I'll be back here soon.
So think of me, when you feel that moon
Oh it calls to me, as it calls to you
Darling wait for me, I'll be home then
When the autumn leaves, bring me back again
Darling wait for me, darling please wait
Till evening light, by your starlit gate
So think of me, when you feel that moon
Oh it calls to me, as it calls to you
That's all I ask of you, all i ask
Till I hold your hand, there'll be peace at last
Don't wait up till it's dark,
All those lonely hours that we're apart
Darling please
Darling please
Darling please

That Petrol Emotion "Big decision"
"
See my honey in the streets
It`s desolate but where she likes to meet
Economies gets weaker
Reactionaries stronger
As they get satisfaction on their knees
You rather sail the ocean
Than make
A big
Decision
I won`t function anymore
Plastic bullets shoot headlines in store
Business men get richer
Individual stronger
Bells won`t ring when scum boot down the door
You rather sail the ocean
Than make
A big
Decision
What you`ve gotta do
In this day and age
You gotta agitate
Educate
Organize
Take the time to live

Martes 7 de agosto de 2012.
Sí, son tiempos de
confusión, de gravedad en los rostros y en las almas, de caminar con la
cabeza gacha y el pensamiento perdido. Tiempos en los que la
supervivencia impone aquella máxima de Horacio de sólo fiar al hoy
nuestras miras, de vivir cada momento como si fuera el último.
Consciente de que la vida es una infinita broma dispuesta a ponernos a
prueba hasta la desesperación, Emir Kusturica y los suyos proponen un
show total donde lo musical y lo circense se abrazan en un
espectáculo total que arranca la complicidad del público instando a una
participación activa que incluye la presencia en las tablas de los
propios espectadores. Así, arrastrados a un baile que no es sino una
verbena punk que enlaza con el espíritu de fiesta más desinhibida
-imagínense el teatro convertido en una verdadera fiesta de prao-
articulado sin ningún tipo de complejo. Piezas como "Unza unza time",
"Upside down" o "Was Romeo really a jerk?" (para el que monta un
improvisado casting a la busca de su Julieta, una preciosidad
simpatiquísima llamada Raina, por cierto) discurren desbocadas para
capturar hasta al más prejuicioso y exigente del público.
Porque podrán hundirnos con cifras y catástrofes de anónimos mercados;
tendremos que contemplar el rostro exultante de los triunfadores
económicos como un castigo, pero siempre nos quedará la posibilidad de
que Kusturica y los suyos nos arrastren a una nueva fiesta para saborear
el aroma de una victoria bien distinta de la que pretenden imponernos. Y
mañana será otro día para inventar un nuevo milagro y seguir tratando
de sobrevivir.

Entrevista a No Band For Lluvia
Esta entrevista con Lluvia Rojo, cantante de No Band For Lluvia aparece, en una versión más reducida, en el número 1 del periódico del 50º Festival de Cine de Gijón, en una de cuyas fiestas nocturnas actuarán. Aquí os dejo la entrevista íntegra.
NO BAND FOR LLUVIA
“VASOS COMUNICANTES”
Por MANOLO D. ABAD

En la seguridad de los
mundos creativos (los mundillos) cerrados, muchos encuentran esa
comodidad, que tantas veces acaba degenerando en molicie. Agarrarse a
lo evidente, al pastiche, es algo que, tras media hora de
conversación telefónica con la célebre actriz Lluvia Rojo, está
muy lejos de la propuesta que ofrece No Band For Lluvia. Bastaría
sumergirse en su primer álbum, “Dead End” (Subterfuge, 20119,
para darse cuenta de ello. Pero son tantas las veces que lo que se
nos muestra ante nuestros ojos no es suficiente, que una prueba
irrefutable, sugestiva, como este álbum de presentación no basta.
No basta una propuesta donde la psicodelia sinuosa de “The Long
Run” se enreda con la lírica desesperada de “My End”, en la
que las variables del pop efervescente adquieren tonalidades de
colores new wave neoyorquinos (“People”, la irresistible “Sweat
it!”), sin desdeñar texturas tan estimulantes y poco trilladas
como las de “Red Rum”, “Why Should I…” o “P98”. Quién
sabe, si no nos hubieran dicho que esta era la banda de una célebre
actriz de una serie de éxito de la televisión española apenas si
les hubiéramos hecho caso o, de no ser por ella, No Band For Lluvia
ya habrían sido recibidos como una de las sensaciones de la
temporada para el sector más guay de eternos descubridores de
últimos hallazgos… Así está hecho el mundo, pero, entre ambos
extremos, debería imponerse un álbum destacable de un grupo poco
común en sus matices creativos. ¡Por favor…! Si después de esta
conversación no se convencen de ello, es que están demasiado
ofuscados por las luces, siempre engañosas, de prensas rosas y
amarillas a la busca de titulares fáciles y audiciones idiotas.
-Empecemos por la
génesis de No Band For Lluvia.
Es una idea que siempre
habíamos tenido Kevin Kajetzke –bajista de la banda- a quien
conozco desde hace diecisiete años (¡ya diecisiete años, madre
mía!) del mundo hardcore, punki y tenía desde siempre en la cabeza
y que, digamos, que se juntaron varios aspectos para que se llevase a
cabo en febrero de 2010: en la serie yo tenía un poco más de tiempo
libre y Kevin había concluído su trabajo. Empezamos a buscar en
marzo de 2010, y hablé con un amigo –Darío Elouces, que ya no
está en la banda- para ver si quería unirse a nosotros en los
teclados, guitarra rítmica, ordenadores, nos dijo que sí y, nada,
otro más que tomaba el tren. Después un amigo común de los Sunday
Drivers y mío –Pepe Corral- me dijo en un almuerzo que los Sunday
Drivers se separaban, que no era oficial pero que iba a serlo en
breve. Le dije “¡ah, sí? Pues en cuanto sea oficial te voy a
pedir el teléfono de Lyndon Parish”. Así fue: me dio el teléfono
de Lyndon le propuse la historia y se unió. Fuimos paso a paso,
tuvimos un batería americano que ya se fue, hicimos un casting, una
prueba, no sé cómo se llama y pillamos a Pascu Monge.
-¿Cómo fueron un
poco esos primeros pasos: gestar un repertorio, echarse a la
carretera,…?
Consideramos que estamos
todavía en el principio, porque, digamos, que hasta que uno empieza
a construir el repertorio, a probar las canciones, a descartarlas, se
tarda bastante, ¿sabes? Te estoy hablando de marzo de 2010 que es
poco más de dos años… Los comienzos están siendo intensos, por
eso prefiero no hablar en pasado sino en presente, porque los
comienzos son ahora, realmente. Fichamos con Subterfuge, superbien en
ese sentido. El álbum lo hemos producido nosotros porque al ser un
primer disco, los comienzos, empiezas a definirte, teniendo en
cuenta, claro, que son cinco personalidades, cinco
estilos, todos en uno, a ver la mezcla cómo sale. No queríamos
tener un productor, un director de orquesta que nos condujera a algo
que pudiera generar un conflicto en esos primeros momentos de
definición. Teníamos que saber primero quiénes somos, para después
ponernos en manos de una persona que lo mire con un poco de
perspectiva. Pero, primero, aunque no tengamos la perspectiva porque
estamos dentro, tenemos que hacer ese ejercicio de tomar nosotros
mismos la perspectiva para crearnos.
-A lo mejor todo lo
que estás contando puede expresarse con la canción “The Long
Run”, que apareció primero, en una versión en el recopilatorio
“Subterfuge Party 2011”, y, posteriormente, en otra distinta en
el álbum…
Bueno, creo que la demo
está más desnuda, no tiene tanto teclado, sobre todo. La del álbum
es más intensa…
-A mí me gustaba más
la de la versión maqueta, quizás porque era más psicodélica, con
esa línea de bajo tan tortuosa…
Sí.
-Supongo que a la hora
de plantarse en el estudio a grabar el álbum, sí os habíais
planteado probar algunas cosas, salirse un tanto del esquema de
reproducir un sonido de directo.
Sí, sí, desde luego que
lo utilizamos un poco como laboratorio experimental (Risas). Por
supuesto. Nos encantan los cacharritos, los ruiditos y las cositas,
sí que le dimos. A mí, de momento, el álbum me sigue encantando,
igual en cinco años me preguntas y te digo: “puah, se nos fue la
olla aquí, mogollón” (Risas). De momento, seguimos muy contentos.
-¿Cómo han sido tus
sensaciones en los directos? Supongo que el percibir la emoción de
la gente, el sudor, las conversaciones, los rostros, los
movimientos,…
Ver a la gente ¡bailar!
Puuuuf, es una sensación muy buena. Es mucho más intenso, claro,
ver al público ahí, para bien y para mal, ¿no? Porque si no les
gusta..., que, de momento, no hemos tenido esa sensación, también
lo estarías viendo, ¿no? ¡cómo se va la gente! Pero, bueno, en el
teatro también lo notas, ¿eh? Cuando gusta y cuando no gusta, hay
una energía ahí aunque no los estés mirando. Pero, en concierto,
ver a la gente ¡bailar! Puuuuf, es una sensación muy buena.
-¿Qué herencia
permanece de tus padres –músicos de jazz- a la hora de trabajar en
la música, en tu grupo?
No lo sé, no tengo ni
idea. Para mí, no es que sea un proceso natural, pero sí que vivo
con naturalidad todo lo que pasa porque no es nada ajeno a mi vida.
Esto lo he vivido a través de ellos, he estado de gira con ellos, no
sé cómo explicártelo…
-Lo que sí está
claro es que tu caso es distinto al de otras actrices que han
irrumpido en el mundo de la música, lo tuyo ya viene de familia.
Sí, sí, por eso te digo
que es algo muy natural. Algo que siempre he querido hacer desde
pequeña, he estudiado música, lo he vivido en mi caso, es algo
normal, cotidiano. No es algo de “¡oh, Dios mío, ahora voy a
hacer un grupo!”, no, no es eso. Es: ahora voy a hacer música rock
después de haber estado tocando clásica todo el tiempo (Risas).
-En esa frontera
clásica-rock hay un punto intermedio que es “My End”, ¿no?
Sí, es la última
canción del álbum y le daremos continuidad en el siguiente disco
con “My beginning”… Cuando nos planteamos el disco intentamos
que fuera un trabajo global, no simplemente diez canciones puestas
ahí, porque sí y se acabó. “My End” nos parecía una buena
canción para cerrar, ¿no? Y para dejarte un poco, ahí,.. como es
tan intensa y tan triste.
-En el disco se
percibe un poco el aroma de la new-wave neoyorquina de finales de los
70-principios de los 80, ¿no? Desde Blondie hasta Television,
pasando por Patti Smith… aunque sea tan diversa que se puede
enganchar desde cualquiera de sus aristas.
Cuando compongo, cuando
componemos, no piensas en ello. Luego, pues, claro, inevitablemente
van a salir algunos de los estilos o corrientes, lo que escuchas o lo
que no escuchas, que deberías escuchar más (risas)… pero lo de
las influencias es tan complejo, tan amplio que, al ser Kevin, Lyndon
y yo, cada uno pone un poco de lo suyo, mezclamos y lo pasamos por un
barniz de lo que creemos que es No Band y ya está.
-Pero sí es cierto
que, cuando antes me decías lo del disco conceptual –siempre me
acuerdo de Faemino y Cansado con lo del “músico conceptual”- sí
que hay una temática interesante e inusual: venganzas, asesinatos,
suicidios,… Temas no excesivamente tratados no ya en la música
sino en la cultura.
Somos muy peliculeros,
nos gusta mucho el cine. Cuando me pongo a escribir no lo hago sobre
mí ni sobre lo que me pasa alrededor, sino que lo hago sobre lo que
me sugieren los acordes, la melodía que estoy componiendo. No sé
muy bien por qué, me salen cosas bastante brutales: de venganzas, de
asesinatos, de suicidios,… “My End”, por ejemplo, es una
canción de suicidio. De los suicidios ya sabes que no se pueden
hablar de ellos en los medios de comunicación porque está
comprobado que si hablas de ello, el número aumenta. Hay una especie
de…
-Sí, lo sé, como
periodista… Es una norma no escrita.
¿Qué te voy a contar,
entonces?
-No, no, cuéntame…
Pues eso, que si haces
referencia al mundo artístico, ahí sí puedes hablar de artistas,
de por qué se han suicidado, pero no puedes hablar de suicidios más
comunes, menos relacionados con la cultura.
-Bueno, pero esto
ocurre mucho en la cultura española, muy imbricada con el
catolicismo para el que el suicidio es un tabú, ¿no?
Sí, es lo que pensaba.
Pero es que, al parecer está comprobado que sube el número de
suicidios. Lo que pasa es que creo que, también, el suicidio debería
ser,… no sé…
-¿Una opción, una
vía?
No lo sé, es horroroso
decir esto… Te puedo asegurar que lo último que pienso en la vida
es en suicidarme. Adoro la vida, soy superoptimista… Pero, sí, es
un tema, igual que la venganza, igual que los asesinatos, que los
asesinos en serie, sobre el que yo escribo desde la superficialidad
más absoluta. Para mí son películas, igual que lo de las
venganzas: a Quentin Tarantino lo pongo en una canción, ¿sabes? No
tiene más profundidad que esa.
-Cambiemos de tema.
Uno de los principales problemas con los que te habrás encontrado a
la hora de sacar adelante un proyecto como No Band For Lluvia es el
hecho de que sea tomado como algo “de laboratorio”, un hype
oportunista, un proyecto teledirigido. ¿Cómo lo has afrontado?
Por una parte, tiene
sentido que sea así; por otra, da mucha pena. Conozco España,
conozco Estados Unidos y conozco Alemania, no conozco el resto del
mundo y, sobre todo, conozco España que es donde más tiempo he
estado… No quiere decir que esto sólo pase en España, seguro,
pero sí que aquí somos bastante reticentes a aceptar que una
persona pueda hacer varias cosas a la vez: el que es jardinero, es
jardinero y si tú eres periodista, eres periodista. Es un poco como
el “monotalento”,…
-O sea:
antirrenacentista.
Sí, me da un poco esa
sensación. Nadie puede tener dos habilidades. Si eres actriz y, de
repente, te apetece tener un grupo de música, a pesar de que hayas
estudiado música desde toda la vida, que tus padres son músicos,
que lo más natural es que hubieras seguido por ese camino en vez de
por la interpretación; como eres actriz, dedícate a ser actriz y no
digas nada, no digas nada ni des tu opinión sobre las cosas de la
vida. Es todo un poco que hay que elegir y tirar de ello, te tienes
que mantener y no tienes que demostrar tu valor. Tengo esa sensación.
-Más aún cuando ya
hay varios casos como Bimba Bosé o Leonor Walting, que sí han
demostrado en Cabriolets o Marlango que no son un capricho. Pero sí
que parece que, antes, hay que atravesar una serie de pruebas hasta
que se otorga el beneplácito general a la propuesta.
Sí, es un poco la
sensación: que hay que superar pruebas. Por una parte, puede parecer
que es mucho mejor a priori, puesto que a nivel de medios hay una
mayor accesibilidad, tiene más interés. Tiene más interés hacerle
una entrevista a un futbolista que tiene un grupo de música, que a
una persona que acaba de empezar con una banda y a quien nadie
conoce. Entrevistas ya tienes aseguradas aunque no tengas canciones,
¿no?
-Pero también es un
arma de doble filo…
Sí.
-Por un lado, los
beneficios de ser famoso; por otro, las reticencias a creer que
alguien que aparece en una serie de televisión de máxima audiencia
no puede tener su lado musical y estar al margen de tonterías de
prensa rosa.
Sí, es un poco así.
Desgraciadamente, funciona de esa manera. A nosotros, lo que nos
gusta es demostrar en directo esa intensidad, esa fuerza punk. Que la
gente se diga “yo que pensaba que eras…”. (Risas). Es un rollo
lo de los prejuicios de la gente, pero, ¡qué le vamos a hacer!
Nosotros hacemos lo que pensamos que tenemos que hacer, lo que nos
gusta y tiramos para adelante. Ahora mismo el mundo de la música es
un mundo superdifícil, marginal…
-Underground.
Sí, ahora mismo,…
¡buah! y el rock, ni te cuento. ¡Y rock en inglés! Pero, vamos,
que, ya te digo, vengo de una familia de músicos marginales, del
mundo de jazz, pues, ya está: hacer lo que queremos hacer, lo que
nos gusta y ya está.
The Chameleons "Monkeyland"
"
I shake my head and shiver
They smile and they stab my back
As they shake my hand
Send out an S.O.S. please
I'm marooned in monkeyland.
I'm idly staring at the sky
Did anybody hear me cry
A billion stars are a moving sight
To all you out there reading this tonight
It's just a trick of the light
I have to know what is real and what is illusion
Tell me how does it feel beyond this confusion?
Is there anyone there?
Do I dismiss this with a sigh?
And let the answers pass me by?
Is my creator God or a man?
Does someone somewhere care and understand?
It's just a trick of the light.
I have to know what is real and what is illusion
Is there anyone there?
Life's an optical illusion like other optical illusions
Beware
As they shake my hand
Send out an S.O.S. please
I'm marooned in monkeyland.
I'm idly staring at the sky

A billion stars are a moving sight

It's just a trick of the light
