Eventualmente habría de descubrir a The Cure en todo su esplendor y me habría de enamorar perdidamente de su sonido en el momento preciso de mi vida. Ni antes ni después. No lamento haberme perdido la época de Disintegration porque mi vida en ese entonces era la de una niña ingenua que escuchaba Flans y Timbiriche en la secundaria con sus amigas del colegio. Yo vivía dentro de mi burbuja de cristal y mi vida era totalmente despreocupada. Lo malo es que creo que ahora vivo en la eterna adolescencia y todo lo mal que no me porté de niña ahora me porto de grande. Ni pex, jeje...
Ahora quise llevar a mi hermana a ver a Guns & Roses porque siempre los quiso ver, pero ella no es como yo y difícilmentem se mueve de casa y menos para lanzarse a la aventura de ir a un concierto a deshoras en la monstruosa ciudad de México: ni aunque yo la lleve... ni aunque ella tenga muchas ganas de ir. Una vez más, todo tiene su momento en la vida.
Pero bueno, mejor... porque según las reseñas de Monterrey y Guadalajara, después de que termina el grupo abridor Axl Rose hace esperar al público 3 horas para salir y yo la verdad no puedo respetar a un artista que a mí como público no me respeta. Yo pensaría que a su edad Axl ya debiera haber superado esas actitudes de diva. Ni modo. Lo que sí parece que tiene igual a pesar de los años y kilos de más es la voz.
En youtube ya alguien subió un buen video de mi canción de Guns favorita: November Rain. Y aunque no iré a verlos hoy al DF, sólo de ver esta grabación me sumerjo en los recuerdos de una época en la que la guitarra de Slash trepado sobre el piano me hacía llorar.
Ahora la guitarra mercenaria de Slash se contrata con la estúpida Paulina Rubio y Axl se sienta solo ante el piano rodeado por la banda de músicos que lo acompañan a interpretar sus grandes éxitos del pasado.
When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone?
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone?
And when your fears subside and shadows still remain
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
But darlin' when I hold you don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain
Do you need some time on your own?
Do you need some time all alone?
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone?
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?
Sometimes I need some time on my own
Sometimes I need some time all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time all alone?
And when your fears subside and shadows still remain
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody?
Don't ya think that you need someone?
Everybody needs somebody
Nada dura para siempre... ni siquiera la lluvia de noviembre.
