con la música en la cabeza

Hay días que te levantas con una canción en la cabeza y no sabes exactamente de donde ha venido. Normalmente me da muchísima rabia porque suelen ser canciones machaconas y horteras, del tipo "Don Diablo" de Miguel Bosé o "Pavo Real" de El Puma. Luego no hay Dios que te haga olvidarla, y a cada rato que te callas o dejas de pensar en algo importante la canción sale de tí, la tarareas o la silbas, con la vergüenza de tener que dar alguna explicación: "No, es que hoy me he levantado con ella en la cabeza y..."

Sin embargo hoy ha sido otra cosa, la canción que ha dormido conmigo es un clásico, algo repetitiva pero de ésas que te puedes poner para despertarte como "The Eye of the Tiger", te llenan de energía y te cambian el humor. Y lo mejor es que estará acompañándome todo el día.

Así que para tod@s l@s que estéis un pelín floj@s de ánimo estos días escuchad a los Dire Straits y su Tunnel of Love. Es bastante larga, si queréis podéis ir directamente al minuto 1:20 donde empieza lo bueno.



EDITO: Me han jodido el video del directo, os tenéis que conformar con el videoclip
Prefiero ponerlos en directo por dos razones:

- suenan infinitamente mejor
- el video original es penoso

También os pongo la letra por si os apetece cantar. Cuidado los que estéis en el curro no os vayáis a emocionar.

Getting crazy on the waltzers but its life that choose
Sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I dont know Ill be tonight but Id always tell you where I am

In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the race just like me she was a victim of the night
I put my hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
And Im just high on the wold
Come on and take a low with ma girl
On the tunnel of love

Its just the danger when youre riding at your own risk
She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby lets keep it like this
Its just a cakewalk twisting baby step right up and say
Hey mister give me two give me two cos two can play

And the big wheel on turning neon burning up above
And Im just high on the world
Come on and take the low ride with me girl
On the tunnel or love

Well its been money for muscle another whirligig
Money for muscle another girl I dig
Another hustle just to make it big
And rockaway rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we where kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we where kids

She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me stay

And the big wheel keep on turning neon up above
And Im high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love

And now Im searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
To rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bat out to rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we where kids
Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the spanish city to me when we where kids
