John Gorka . Thorny Patch

Cuando pienso que no tengo suerte o todo me sale mal y no doy una a derechas, un acto reflejo hace que me refugie en las composiciones más intimistas.
Como mi estado de ánimo actual se podría definir por lo expresado anteriormente, para esta entrada he elegido la increíble "Thorny Patch" de John Gorka, publicada hace diez añitos (ahí es nada xD!) en su CD "After Yesterday". Estupenda también Lucy Kaplansky en las voces.

A algunos, a lo mejor, les resulta aburrido. Bueno, es una opinión. Pero a mi me parece elegante y sencilla. Sin artificios. Profunda y directa. Genial.

Lyrics:
It's tough before the aftermath
Waiting for the sky to rain
I'm almost through this thorny patch
That I will not go through again...
That I will not go through again...
That I will not go through again

Standing on a broken path
Waiting for the sky to rain

I am bound for where you live
For I am bound to who you are
My navigation's primitive
To move at all I need the stars...

Standing on a broken path
Waiting for the sky to rain

The blood demands a thicker skin
A thicker skin turned to the fray
It's briar, bramble, needle, pin
When it's a struggle everyday...

Standing on a broken path
Waiting for the sky to rain

If I were rich no one would know
If I were poor no one would see
No need to cultivate mystique
When every soul's a mystery...

Standing on a broken path
Waiting for the sky to rain

City streets are wilderness
Where paranoia's common sense
As common as the common kiss
It's a form of latent violence...
It's a form of latent violence...
It's a form of latent violence

Standing on a broken path...
