As far as sky...

7/10/11

Empieza a sonar una canción por primera vez en mis oídos, “Before the bridge” del último disco de Future Islands, y al mismo tiempo, toquiteando aquí y allá con el ratón, llego a la noticia de que ha muerto repentinamente Félix Romeo. Y de repente esa extraña tristeza que vuelve, y envuelta en esta preciosa canción cuya letra dice así:

And I will walk you home

And I will leave you there

I'll take the books you stole

And leave a heart that bears this

I hope you have what you need

I hope the moon is listening

I hope you have what you need

I gave my soul my body

I hope you have what you need

I hope the moon is listening

I hope you have what you need

I gave you soul and body

And if things had changed

I would have buried you deep in my heart

And if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the sky

Whatever has us now

I can't forget somehow

For to forget a love is to regret

And what is love is regret

And what isn't love is a test

And if things had changed

I would have buried you deep in my heart

And if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the sky

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Hold your tongue

Hold your tongue

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Hold your tongue

Hold your tongue

Do you believe in love?

Do you believe in love?

Hold your tongue

Hold your tongue

'Cause if things had changed

I would have buried you deep in my heart

And if things had stayed the same

I would have carried you as far as the sky

Far far away

Whatever has us now

I can't forget somehow

For to forget a love is to regret

Aunque Future Islands y Félix Romeo no tengan nada que ver, hoy son protagonistas ambos de esta tristeza perpleja.
