ME DA VIDA Y ME LA QUITA

Things dead or alive - Hakan

(Inspirado en Dancer in the dark)

Como duele no poder ver de nuevo una obra tan magistral, tan perfecta... como se puede ser tan grande y devorarte. De tripas y corazón empezó mi reto personal al visionar por segunda vez Bailando en la oscuridad, no sin haberlo intentado en múltiples ocasiones. Me supera, cuando llega ese momento tan desesperante, tan miserable, una tortuosa agonía que te abre en canal, quiero huir. De pie ante el televisor, dando pasos cortos, respiración entrecortada, mi cuerpo experimenta espasmos de ansiedad, me atraganto y apago.

Mi querido Lars, me inclino ante ti, eres único en tu maestría de darnos grandes dosis de oxígeno como de practicar la eutanasia, no sin pasar antes por el suplicio más desgarrador hasta sacarnos las entrañas. Me das vida pero también me la quitas, y por ello te admiro aunque no pueda con tu cine.

Seguiré soñando con la exquisita coreografía, resaltando la magnífica escena del tren con este tema tan subliminal de Björk, la gran Venus Polar, nadie como ella para hacerte volar hasta los confines de la humanidad.

I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a man killed by his best friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!

And the man you will marry?
The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...

You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...

I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!

You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

("I've seen it all" del álbum Selmasongs de Björk, BSO de Dancer in the dark)

Pura Vida.
