De los fantasmas que nos persiguen

Esta canción es un fantasma. A mí no me ha dejado en paz desde que la escuché por primera vez durante mis incursiones nocturnas en VH1. Me he obsesionado con los artistas, con la película (que aún no llega y posiblemente nunca llegará a Puerto Rico...quizás si quitaran por fin a Elsa y Fred), el resto del soundtrack...Contrario a otras canciones que despiertan fantasmas desagradables, esta hace algo que las demás no: me da esperanza.

Les dejo con el video. Falling Slowly ganó el Oscar por Mejor Canción en la pasada ceremonia. Disfruten.

Falling Slowly
Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along.
