Como ya estoy destrozado por dentro y por fuera, ahora me da por escuchar música que me machaca todavía más. Siempre se puede empeorar, me digo. Hace un rato, alguien a quien todavía adoro y a quien siempre adoraré, me comentaba que tengo que escribir de cosas más interesantes que ella. Pues bien, lo diré en muy pocas palabras, para que se entienda: no hay nada, nada más interesante que Ella. Y el Amor. Con E y A mayúsculas. No existe nada más interesante que el Amor y que Ella, juntos y revueltos. Lo que pasa es que resulta difícil escribir algo más bonito al respecto que esta sobrecogedora canción de Damien Rice que se titula Accidental Babies.

Well I held you like a lover / Happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place / And we ignored our others, happy plans / For that delicate look upon your face /// Our bodies moved and hardened / Hurting parts of your garden / With no room for a pardon / In a place where no one knows what we have done /// Do you come / Together ever with him? / And is he dark enough? / Enough to see your light? / And do you brush your teeth before you kiss? / Do you miss my smell? / And is he bold enough to take you on? / Do you feel like you belong? / And does he drive you wild? / Or just mildly free? / What about me? /// Well you held me like a lover / Sweaty hands / And my foot in the appropriate place /// And we use cushions to cover / Happy glands / In the mild issue of our disgrace /// Our minds pressed and guarded / While our flesh disregarded / The lack of space for the light-hearted / In the boom that beats our drum /// Well I know I make you cry / And I know sometimes you wanna die / But do you really feel alive without me? / If so, be free / If not, leave him for me / Before one of us has accidental babies / For we are in love /// Do you come / Together ever with him? / Is he dark enough? / Enough to see your light? / Do you brush your teeth before you kiss? / Do you miss my smell? / And is he bold enough to take you on? / Do you feel like you belong? / And does he drive you wild? / Or just mildly free? /// What about me? / What about me?
