Down to Earth, Peter Gabriel

No tengo nada que ofrecer. Para quienes preguntan y los que no, hay mucha piedra, poco verde, vejación en las esquinas que llevan meses sin orden y no hay nada más que decir o leer. Hablemos de otros temas: ¡qué bien que hay música! Geova hace décadas me regaló lo primero de Peter Gabriel y ayudó mi pasión por el cine (hasta hoy). Nunca logró que yo comprara las cintas propias para reproducirlas porque siempre me daba copias de todo. Un poco de cine ya visto: Wall E, un poco de sentimientos vertidos en el callejón de Hanzel y Grettel, quizá con alguna esperanza que no sean comidos. Dos extractos en castellano, la letra completa en inglés y el vídeo.


"¿Pensaste que tus pies habían sido llevados a un límite por la gravedad del piso que te haló? ¿Sentiste que fuiste engañado por el futuro que escogiste?... Bueno, vamos hacia abajo(...) ¿Pensaste que escaparía de la rutina sólo por cambiar de guión y escena? A pesar de todo lo que has hecho por esto." 



"Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down
All those rules don’t apply
When you’re high in the sky
So, come on down
Come on down
We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze
Did you think you’d escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You’re always afraid
Of the change
You’ve got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down


We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze
Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
Learned to climb up a tree
Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
We set sail for the sky
We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze
We’re coming down
Coming down to Earth
Like babies at birth
Coming down to Earth
We’re gonna find new priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze
We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below
We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze
We’re gonna find new priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
