Travis . River

Travis es otra banda de filias y fobias. Hay cosas que me encantan y cosas que detesto profundamente. Creo que, incluso, son más éstas últimas que las primeras. Bastantes más, quizás.
Lo que ocurre es que, cuando algo de lo que hacen me gusta, me gusta mucho. Y, por eso, creo que compensa todo lo peñazo y plasta que se han puesto en ocasiones. Creo que sería incapaz de escuchar 3 coplas seguidas sin que la cabeza me cayera de golpe sobre la mesa. Pero, cuando están bien, reconozco que lo bordan.
Bien, todo esto por una versión de un tema clásico de Joni Mitchell llamada "River", que se publicó como cara B de "Turn" (ejemplo de copla plasta)

En fin, como siempre, escuchad y juzgad:



Y aquí queda la letra:

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Now it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lotta money
And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
And she loved me so naughty
She made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish, I'm sad
And I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
