“Bones of birds”… “He intentado construir sobre huesos de pájaro, cantando en el frío”…
¿no es eso vivir? Hace muchos años que no escuchaba una canción
de tanta fuerza y hondura. Si el flamante disco de Soundgarden, King animal, es una muestra contundente de
que, aun hoy, se puede disfrutar de rock verdadero –ese que no cede al
facilismo pop ni a la estridencia de los arreglos estrafalarios, que pega,
engancha pero también sobrecoge–, quizá ésta –una de las más oscuras y
vertiginosas del grupo originario de Seattle– sea la mejor canción de rock
alternativo de los últimos quince años.
Aquí están la canción, la letra y un comentario del tema por Chris
Cornell y Matt Cameron. Que lo disfruten.
“Bones of birds”, by Soundgarden, King
animal, 2012
Time is my friend,
Till it ain't, and runs out
And, that is all, that I have,
Till it's gone
Tried to build on bones of birds,
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey! Sometimes she won't cry!
When the smallest one is trapped!
Too weak to survive, probably...
Maybe.
Tried to look out,
Through a hole in the vague
Circle above, looking down,
Bird of prey
Tried to build on bones of birds,
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Till it ain't, and runs out
And, that is all, that I have,
Till it's gone
Tried to build on bones of birds,
Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey! Sometimes she won't cry!
When the smallest one is trapped!
Too weak to survive, probably...
Maybe.

Singing in the cold and fall to earth
Hey! Sometimes she won't cry!
When the smallest one is trapped!
Too weak to survive! Too weak to survive!
Too weak to survive!
Probably... maybe.
Tried to build on bones of birds,
Singing in the cold and fall to earth...
When the smallest one is trapped!
Too weak to survive! Too weak to survive!
Too weak to survive!
Probably... maybe.
Tried to build on bones of birds,
Singing in the cold and fall to earth...
