A day in the life

La secta del Bremen no necesita banda sonora, que ya se bastan las voces por sí solas para crear ambiente, pero la otra noche la gente del bar nos deleitó con las obras completas de los Beatles. Entré por la puerta y, mientras pedía mi primera cerveza, Lennon empezó a desgarrarse la garganta. Es inevitable llevar el ritmo con los pies. Entre relato y relato, más dosis de magia para el cuerpo.
La Cueva fue más Cueva que nunca. A mí me gustó.


I read the news today oh, boy / About a lucky man who made the grade / And though the news was rather sad / Well, i just had to laugh / I saw the photograph / He blew his mind out in a car / He didn't notice that the lights had changed / A crowd of people stood and stared / They'd seen his face before / Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords / I saw a film today oh, boy / The english army had just won the war / A crowd of people turned away / But i just had to look / Having read the book / I love to turn you on. / Woke up, got out of bed / Dragged a comb across my head / Found my way downstairs and drank a cup / And looking up, i noticed i was late / Found my coat and grabbed my hat / Made the bus in seconds flat / Found my way upstairs and had a smoke / Somebody spoke and i went into a dream / Ah / I read the news today oh, boy / Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire / And though the holes were rather small / They had to count them all / Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall / I'd love to turn you on.

Temazo, uno de mis favoritos de los Beatles, me encanta el cambio de ritmo que tiene...

Hola, Descon, cuánto tiempo... Pues sí, temazo, también de mis preferidos.
Me encanta cuando dice:
The english army had just won the war...
Para mí Beatles es Londres en invierno. Siempre que los escucho veo sus calles, los edificios de Chelsea, la ribera del Támesis, un abrigo... Tantos recuerdos.
