Whatever gets you through today

Esta canción ha sido mi banda sonora en este día.

Un día en el que una de las personas más importantes de mi mundo nació hace veintitrés años. Alguien con quien escaparse, con quien correr y correr sin mirar atrás. Una persona que tiene el mapa que necesitas, en el momento del camino en el que más lo puedes llegar a requerir. 

Una persona experta en escapismo. 

En fugarse, desaparecer, desertar, abandonar, retirarse.

Una persona que huye para poder volver a sí misma. 

Alguien con quien poder liberarse.

The Rescues - Break me Out

Break me out tonight
I wanna see the sun rising anywhere but here
Come with me
Oh, this could be
The only chance we get
We gotta take it
We don’t do it now we’ll never make it
Lose this crowd
Oh break me out

David Gray - Babylon

Friday night I’m going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it’s clear that I’ve been blind
I’ve been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

Saturday I’m running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I’m pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I’m seeing it so clear
I’ve been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I’ve made

Relax, Take it Easy - MIKA

It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream - there are so many roads left.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Muse - Knights of Cydonia.

Come ride with me through the veins of history, 

I’ll show you how God falls asleep on the job.

And how can we win when fools can be kings?

Don’t waste your time or time will waste you.

Forever Young- Audra Mae & The Forest Rangers Cover

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young

Anna Nalick - Drink me

Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I’m obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you’re impressed
But she’s so pretty, I’m jealous
And she’s lost like Alice
In a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back

I’ll take another, Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I’ll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let’s play truth or dare

So you’re a fan of Coltrane
I wanna be Kurt Cobain
When the truth gets scary
I’ll take my gin and sherry
And some Drink Me they’ll be
Plath and Joplin with verse writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I’ll be there in the front row

I’ll take another, Drink Me, baby
Slowly, I’ll disappear
And wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let’s play truth or dare

And I won’t be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won’t know my name
And I’ll get smaller with
Every swallow you’ll
Wait tomorrow and things won’t be the same

Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever?
Lately I’m obsessed
And I need the rest
I hope that you’re impressed
Cuz I need the rest
And my head’s a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest

2 AM and I’m still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to

Quizá una de las canciones que más hablan de mí:

Well this stone that I have swallowed
Isn’t going down so well
And this road that I have followed
Is leading me to Hell

And you said it didn’t matter
But I think you’re a liar
Is this one of your talents
That stokes the very fire that burns you
Each time you try to live

And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give
Oh something has to give

And when I build you a steeple
You say it’s incomplete
‘Cause you need the whole cathedral
To satisfy the need

And you’re like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live

And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give
Oh something has to give

Well you’re like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand

Well you’re like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live

Una versión especial de Still A Weirdo.

Parece que, hoy que vuelvo a Madrid, ésta es la canción que debería de estar escuchando…

Además, es en esta canción en la que estoy pensando como inspiración para un futuro tatuaje (exacto, sigo dándole vueltas en mi cabeza a la idea). La letra es muy buena, y me siento extremadamente identificada con lo que dice. Y Metallica… ¿qué puedo decir de Metallica que no sepáis ya? Metallica es historia y cultura musical.

And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

And with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will

But I’ll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home

(And the earth becomes my throne)

And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I’ve grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

And my ties are severed clean
Less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign

Roamer, wanderer
Nomad, vagabond
Call me what you will
Yeah, you will

But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
and I’ll take my time anywhere

Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home


But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind
And I’ll take my time anywhere

Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home
That’s right

But I’ll take my time anywhere
I’m free to speak my mind anywhere
And I’ll redefine anywhere

Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lies, but still I roam,
Yeah yeah!

Wherever I may roam
