La Noche Perfecta por Dire Straits

Año 1985. Las discos mundiales explotaban con el techno y los DJ comenzaban a ser los solistas a la par de Depeche Mode. Las fiestas trash clandestinas mezcladas con pastillas comenzaban a llamarse Raves y la palabra HARD comenzaba a escucharse en la jerga.

1985. Epoca de oro argentina. Nuestros tíos o hermanos mayores se juntaban a rockear un rato con sus amigos antes de ir a Mi Club o France a bailar trance music.

Para el mismo año en la isla salía a la venta el disco "Brother in Arms" de Dire Straits. Seguramente quienes en Australes hubieran conseguido el cassette tenían entonces un "10 tips" o un "hágalo todo en 10 pasos" de ocasión. Seguramente le pedía prestado el Falcon al padre o el Fiat 600 a algún amigo. Comenzaba asi la noche con Money for Nothing a puro rock. No esperó nunca encontrarse con semejante guitarra rockera luego de esa intro. Pasó a buscar a su chica por la puerta de la casa y sonaba So far Away y se incomodaron un poco por el ritmo lento.

Entraron al boliche y en seguida todos bailaron rock and roll con Walk of life y siguieron bailando toda la noche. Cuando todo terminó él la llevó en auto a su casa, e hicieron una parada obligada de amor y en el el aire sonaba el saxo de Your Latest Trick con " I don't know how it happened / It all took place so quick / But all i can do is hand it to you / And your latest trick "

Cuando escucharon Why Worry se dijeron que no les importaba pasarse de la hora en que los esperarían sus viejos en sus casas, y fueron a un lugar...

Con Ride Across the River se prendieron algo juntos y comenzaron a charlar de los problemas de la humanidad y hablaron de Nietzsche, del Che, de la Revolución Cubana y del Mayo Francés y del Imperialismo yanqui y la Guerra Fría escuchando The Man´s too Strong.

Quisieron levantar la noche con One World y ya entonces con Brothers in Arms prometieron volver a verse...

El video de la semana #4

Muy poca gente hace llorar como éste tipo. Te vuela la cabeza. Te lleva pero no te trae. Este va a ser el cuarto video de la semana, Peter Gabriel haciendo Come Talk to Me. Yo les avisé que no te trae...




The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight
In search of you, I feel my way, though the slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense
I reach through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf?
Come on, come talk to me

Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me?
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me

I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel now?
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no-one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me

Won't you please talk to me?
If youd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If youd only talk to me

Don't you ever change your mind?
Now your futures so defined
And you act so deaf and blind
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me

I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
til were both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away

I said please talk to me
Wont you please come talk to me?
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now?
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me

I said please talk to me
If youd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If youd only talk to me
