Cover of No More Shall We Part
Un buen músico y vocalista. Un hombre australiano de leyenda oscura, misteriosa y en ocasiones como la presente, incluso tenebrosa, con horizontes bíblicos en sus canciones y con un romanticisimo que parece extraído de la época de Mary Shelley o Lord Byron.
Nick Cave y sus Bad Seeds nos regalaban, hace ya unos años, de su disco "No more Shall we part", un disco que no tuvo el mismo éxito que sus inolvidables "Murder ballads" o "Into my arms", pero que tiene el mismo sello Nick Cave y que, quizás precisamente por haber sonado menos en las radios de todo el mundo, vendidos a las radio-fórmulas, es un disco muy actual, para disfrutar, y del que podemos redescubrir muchos temas, como este excelente tema, "Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow".
¿Un alegato contra las drogas y en concreto, contra la cocaína y las consecuencias de ingerirla? No creemos que sea así de claro, pero siempre es bueno darle vueltas a sus poéticas letras mientras uno tiene el placer de degustar sus artísticos videos.
Es por ello que hoy la compartimos con todos los lectores de "Storytelling de CEC", letras de canciones y buenos videos musicales seleccionados, como siempre, en www.culturaencadena.com
Where is Mona?
She's long gone
Where is Mary?
She's taken her along
But they haven't put their mittens on
And there's fifteen feet of pure white snow?
Where is Michael?
Where is Mark?
Where is Mathew
Now it's getting dark?
Where is John? They are all out back
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Would you please put down that telephone
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow
I waved to my neighbour
My neighbour waved to me
But my neighbour
Is my enemy
I kept waving my arms
Till I could not see
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is anybody
Out there please?
It's too quiet in here
And I'm beginning to freeze
I've got icicles hanging
From my knees
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anybody here who feels this low?
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Doctor, Doctor
I'm going mad
This is the worst day
I've ever had
I can't remember
Ever feeling this bad
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Where's my nurse
I need some healing
I've been paralysed
By a lack of feeling
I can't even find
Anything worth stealing
Under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Is there anyone else here who doesn't know?
We're under fifteen feet of pure white snow
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Raise your hands up to the sky
Is it any wonder?
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Oh my Lord Oh my Lord
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
Save Yourself! Help Yourself!
