YOU CAN KEEP THIS SUIT OF LIGHTS

Muy bueno el texto de Kundela...

Me ha venido a la mente una canción de U2 de su disco POP, Gone, que recoge un poco esa atmósfera. Habla, en tono marcadamente autobiográfico, sobre una estrella del rock. De la ambición, del mareo en las alturas, de las renuncias, de no querer bajar... En sus conciertos, la dedican siempre a Michael Hutchence, cantante de INXS y estrella con mayúsculas del rock and roll dentro y fuera del escenario, que murió ese mismo año en extrañas circunstancias.

GONE

You gotta feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won't go away
You're holding on to every thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway

Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
And not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change a name but that's okay
It's necessary
And what you leave behind
You don't miss anyway

Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
And not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down

And I'm already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn't want it that much anyway

You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you get to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed

Goodbye
No emotional
Goodnight

We'll be up with the sun
Are you still holding on
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down

Letra: Bono y The edge, música: U2. Extraído de Pop, 1997.
