 "EVERYONE A STAR"

DAMIEN JURADO

 

Burned out, I found you like a light on
Time to forget all that I've done
I'm too in tune to change the dial
Connected colors for the mood
I'm on rewind all the time
A welcome sign outside my mind
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for days inside the blue
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star
In time I found you like a light on
I won't forget all that you've done
Ready when you are to lose
Asleep for weeks inside the blue
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Free is all we are, free is all we are
Everyone a star, everyone a star
Everyone a star, everyone a star

"YOU JUST CAN'T WIN"

THEM (VAN MORRISON) 

 

One more coffee
One more cigarette
One more morning
Trying to forget
If I had the chance
To join your dance
I wouldn't like to bet
Your game is something yet
It's a shame
Ain't natural for you
Baby, it's a sin
You know you just can't win
When you are in
You used to ride on buses
Take a tube to Camden Town
Now you go by aeroplane
Don't let nothing bring you down
It's a shame
Ain't natural for you
Baby, it's a sin
Don't you know you just can't win
When you are in
Now the road is dark and lonely
But you got a pearl light mode
You're up in Park Lane now
And I'm somewhere around
In Tottenham Court Road
It's a shame
Ain't natural for you
Baby, it's a sin
Don't you know you just can't win
When you are in
No, you just can't win
No, you just can't win
When you are in


 

"GLORIA"

THEM (VAN MORRISON) 

 Like to tell ya about my baby
You know she comes around
She about five feet four
A-from her head to the ground

You know she comes around here
At just about midnight
She make ya feel so good, Lord
She make ya feel all right

And her name is G-L-O-R-I-A
G-L-O-R-I-A (Gloria)
G-L-O-R-I-A (Gloria)
I'm gonna shout it all night (Gloria)
I'm gonna shout it everyday (Gloria)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

She comes around here
Just about midnight
Ha, she make me feel so good, Lord
I wanna say she make me feel alright

Comes a-walkin' down my street
When she comes to my house
She knocks upon my door
And then she comes in my room
Yeah, an' she make me feel alright

G-L-O-R-I-A (Gloria)
G-L-O-R-I-A (Gloria)
I'm gonna shout it all night (Gloria)
I'm gonna shout it everyday (Gloria)
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Looks so good (Gloria) alright
Just so good (Gloria) alright, yeah

 "JUDICIS EN MENOR"

LA LUDWIG BAND

 Em van fer passar en una saleta
on hi feia una calor asfixiant.
Em va donar la mà abans de seure,
va dir: "jo seré el teu advocat".
Va escurar amb un mocador de seda
la suor que li inundava el cap,
va inclinar el cos una mica enrere,
va dir-me està tot ben controlat.
"Tinc una estratègia sense esquerdes
i un discurs que commourà al jurat.
Aquests casos mai se'm resisteixen,
tu fes-me cas i quedaràs en llibertat."
Però aquelles paraules tan boniques
Van fer mal, molt més mal
que tot el que no gosava dir-me.

I que llarga que es va fer l'espera
fins que em cridessin a declarar,
vaig trobar en les parets de la cel·la
el límit del que podia canviar.
Per fi van venir dos gorres negres,
dos pistoles, quatre fortes mans,
i mentre em posaven les cadenes
un va dir: “t'esperen al jurat”.
"És veritat que el vas matar a sang freda?"
Jo vaig preferir no contestar.
Esperant-nos per entrar a l'audiència,
un guàrdia em va convidar a fumar.
I aquells copets que em va donar a l'esquena
Van fer mal, molt més mal
que els cops de martell dictant sentència.

Em van llevar de males maneres
del banc més fred on he segut mai,
un cop ja s'han passejat les feres
han de tornar dins del seu forat.
Recordava dotze togues negres,
cent ulls que no saben on mirar.
"Noi, desperta! Hi ha algú que et vol veure."
Ella! Com me n’havia oblidat!
Va passar els braços entre les reixes,
va agafar-me fort les dues mans,
va parlar de bicis amb rodetes
i de cases amb balcons al mar.
Però totes aquelles promeses
van fer mal, molt més mal
que els cops de martell dictant sentència.

Ja esperava que la nit darrera
em conduís al dia final.
"Potser em volen matar de l'espera
per no embrutar de sang la destral".
I mentre em mirava les estrelles
va irrompre a la sala el capellà
"Fillet meu, ara que pots confessa
i allibera't del pes del pecat"
Pare, no em lamento de les meves
males decisions. Al capdavall
la vida és triar i potser he estat feble,
però no hi ha res que vulgui canviar.
I aquesta mirada compassiva
em fa mal, molt més mal
que el que demà em farà la guillotina.

 JOANA RASPALL

(1913-2013)


 "Marxaré d'aquest món com qui sols deixa un somni
i es desperta a la calma eternal d’un gran dia
on no s’enyora res -ja que res no es tenia-
fora l’amor dels vius…
… si és que algú ens estimava."


Joana Raspall (fragment de No veuré mai,  del llibre Jardí vivent, 2010)

 "AT YOUR DOOR"

ALEXI MURDOCH

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHuXwYwECFs 

 

Well you can hide behind your door
And you can leave me kneeling on floor
But I will only love you more
Yes I will only love you more
Well you can take from me all you think you need
And you can bury it deep deep in the ground
But I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
No I will never let you down
