No harm

Everything's gone wrong and now you're gone

Pieces don't can't match up cuz they're all gone

My eyes are looking up above the sun

In the skies, where all hope has burnt

Don't tell me that we're the same

Eventually we will change

Things will appear differently

Or we will see them eternally

In the shadows you shine and rise

You blind me and you strike me

I'm not hoping for you to care

You'll live in the past of what you were

I mean no harm to you

I mean no harm to you

It's easier said than done.

It's easier said than done

Just keep my mind from thinking

I could have you again

But then you come in the same

I put you out like a flame

You're the angel leading me in

Lead me, forgive me, surround me

The thought of you shines in the skies

If you were here tonight, it'd be so nice

I mean no harm to you

I mean no harm to you

It's easier said than done.

It's easier said than done

All my life i've tried so hard

Not to let go of what i've found

All i've found is still unknown

I have nothing of my own

In another world we'll exist again

The time i didn't spend, it'd be spent

Don't turn your back on me

Don't hesitate and run to me

Selfies: Why do people do this?

Over the last few years social networks have been experiencing a very odd phenomenom: selfies. This rare but recent trendy activity consist of taking a photo of yourself, either alone or accompanied by other persons. This action has taken over different social networks, but mainly Facebook and Instagram. People nowadays are always trying to capture everyone else's attention by posting these kind of pictures.

No celebrities or public figures have stepped out of this activity: this contemporary action has also been exercised by people such as Mexico's president Enrique Peña Nieto with his early selfie with Mexico's national football team or Barack Obama with his remarked selfie in which apparently his wife appears to be upset by it.

The real question lies on its purpose or purposes. Human's innate need to express themselves might be one of those purposes. We're supposed to be a free country and if so then selfies shoudln't be banned because they do not harm anyone. However, i'm not a follower of this new fad.

Even though people do not affect anyone by doing this, it does contribute to a society full of trivial habits: selfie with myself, selfie during class, selfie in the bathroom. They promote a society in which people prefer to establish a contact with a non human apparatus instead of trying to deal with real world situations.

People are always trying to capture everyone's attention and i think it is something innate but this is not the way to do so. There are different ways to do it: make a video, write an article about something you like, write a poem, but don't take a picture of yourself that has no meaning (mosf of them)

This new trend is trying to pioneer new generations to adopt this bad taste culture activity. Even people who were not raised while this actitivy was engaging everyone are now "going with it" and assuming this, of course i'm referring to adults. Selfies are gaining more and more followers as time flies by which means this will remain (sadly) trendy for maybe decades further. Let's not colaborate to bannal culture.

Drifting

Sometimes i feel like i'm dying

Drifting in the space, with no place to go

It's as if i we're stuck in the same place

You can't say i've never tried

Lost in space, no place to go

Where will it lead us, from here?

Time is running but i stay still

Am i still ill?

Everywhere i go, i see your eyes

When i see you, time does fly

I'm a convict in the prison of your eyes

I swim to the depths of your ocean

Sometimes i feel like i'm dying

Drifting in the space, with no place to go

It's as if i we're stuck in the same place

You can't say i've never tried

Reasons to believe

Lay me down
Don't let it all go by
This is the corner of the story
We've gone too far from glory

Just say you will
Embrace me, my dear grace
Give me reasons to believe
Feed my feelings of relief

I just know that she calms my heart
Creates a joyride with my deepest parts
If you could just stop by my window
So take it: Yours to keep, all my sorrow

Look after me with your gaze
Please raise me in your grace
Eternal moment in the red horizon
Shouting out our names in flames

And we both felt as one
Even if we hadn't planned to
We'd still be gazing in the sky
No time for bittersweet lies

Just say you will
Embrace me, my dear grace
Give me reasons to believe
Feed my feelings of relief

Dawn Misleadings

Meet me in the dawn
Or any day you want
Beneath my bed
A place where we can hide

There's no time for questions
An approval or just tension
Time lies in the core of your pillow
I had to hold it back for sorrow

Broken glass on the corner of your tears
Routine has striked down your dreams
Is there a chance we've missed?
Or just a glimpse of the wounds we couldn't heal?

A relief is what we need
Send away all your joy
To the depths of your void
Embark me in the cruise of your true self

Dawn misleadings
Not leading anywhere

Underneath the tide
You swim the ladder of your pride
Useless and unexamined tide
You've never cared for the fallen pride

The night has wrapped my arms around you
It yearns for a sleep we haven't known
Embrace me, wrap me in your unknown pleasures
Ungrateful night, i've been roaming for a treasure

The dream is still howling for an end
Take me for a ride in the late night
Brighten my darkness with your contentment
Please, don't burn me for resentment

Dawn misleadings
Not leading anywhere

Pablo Honey: miel sobre hojuelas

"I am glued, just in case i crack out" dice Thom Yorke en la última melodia de Pablo Honey. Primer álbum del quinteto inglés de rock alternativo Radiohead, lanzado en el lejano invierno de 1993. El disco contiene 12 melodías, todas escritas por Thom Yorke, el vocalista de la banda:

• You
• Creep
• How Do You?
• Stop Whispering
• Thinking About You
• Anyone Can Play Guitar
• Ripcord
• Vegetables
• Prove Yourself
• I Can't
• Lurgee
• Blow Out

Además contiene un lado b con las siguientes canciones:

• Faithless, The Wonder Boy
• Coke Babies
• Million Dollar Question
• Pop Is Dead
• Banana Co
• Stupid Car

"You" es la canción con la que abre el disco. Una canción con un ritmo veloz y una letra con un tono destructivo.

"Creep" es la canción más mediática del disco, la canción con la que te responde alguien cuando le preguntas cual ha escuchado de R-Head. Contiene una letra que versa sobre temas como la desesperación, un amor roto, el vacío y el rechazo a uno mismo. Sin duda un clásico de Radiohead, pero solo para los amantes de la melancolía.

"How Do You?" es para mi parecer, la canción más alegre del disco. Una canción sobre un aparente fracasado que te hará moverte y te darán ganas de romper o tirar algo.

"Stop Whispering" es otra melancolía lírica y rítmica que sobresale en PH. Pareciera que Yorke intenta sacar alguna frustración, alguna deuda o tratar de resarcir alguna pena: "Stop whispering, star shouting!!". No cabe duda que son 5 minutos y 26 segundos bien invertidos.

"Thinking About You" si eres romántico/a esta canción es perfecta. Una guitarra hipnotizante, la maravillosa voz de Yorke y una letra nostalgica son el trío perfecto para volver a ponerle play.

"Anyone Can Play Guitar" de mis favoritas del disco. Hace referencia a Jim Morrison en varias lineas de la rola.

"Ripcord" me parece que es las menos buenas del disco. La letra no me convence a pesar de que lleva un buen ritmo y buenos solos de guitarra. Sin duda la ensombrecen algunas otras canciones.

"Vegetable" ¿escupes en la mano que te alimenta? creo que alguien tiene problemas con sus padres

"Prove Yourself" está en mi top 5 del disco. Vive en un constante cambio de ritmos, primero va despacio y va subiendo poco a poco. El coro es muy pegajoso y la letra habla de la desesperación y mentalidad suicida de un hombre de poco valor.

"I Can't" Una presunta apología acompañada de versos de frustración, aderezada con un ritmo apasionante. Una balada romántica - nostálgica.

"Lurgee" La recuperación de un hombre a partir de una ruptura amorosa. La letra y la guitarra hacen muy buena mancuerna en esta ocasión, donde la segunda va crecsendo.

"Blow Out"la guitarra violenta y distorsionada es lo que sobresale en el último track, asimismo como los desgarradores gritos del vocalista.

Pablo Honey es un álbum atípico de Radiohead, después de este disco Yorke cambiaría su manera de cantar de manera radical y los ritmos, tonos y letras también lo harían para dar así paso al sonido característico de Radiohead, ese sonido oscuro, depresivo, desgarrador, nostálgico, pero verdaderamente adictivo, con el cual miles de fans se identifican alrededor del mundo.
