El temita de la semama (05-01-04)

¿Cómo podría faltar en ésta sección mi canción favorita de todos los tiempos?. De Echo & The Bunnymen, la legendaria banda del legendario Ian McCulloch, su espectacular The Killing Moon (1984). He aquí la letra. ¡Demonios!, cuántas berrinchinas amorosas no habré pasado oyendo este tema, junto a los de mi Peter Murphy...

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms
Too late to beg you or cancel it
Though I know it must be the killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La la la la la...

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

La la la la la...

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

La la la la la...

Ahhhhhhh!. Tuve la tremenda suerte, ya que obviamente pensaba que jamás los podría oir en directo, de verles hace un par de años en la Sala Arenal. No defraudaron, tocando auténticas maravillas como ésta, además de Seven Seas, Lips Like Sugar, Bring On The Dancing Horses, Crystal Days... y no faltó la estremecedora All My Colours. Un orgasmo musical, vamos. Incluso coincidí con ellos tomando unas birras en el Café Jamaica que hay en Plaza de España, en la esquina con Princesa, mientras esperaba a que abriesen la sala, ¡codo a codo con Ian!.
