Ayer nos dejaba uno de los contadores de historias que más huella ha dejado en las últimas décadas pero, aunque he tenido la tentación, no voy a poner nada suyo en este viaje.
Hoy toca dejar que la banda sonora de nuestro naufragio sea también algo muy de verdad, algo bien contado, con una simpleza que llena.
Normalmente el género country, y no hago bien generalizando (se admiten opiniones), habla de historias, no las vive, y además está en la frontera del country. Para una persona que en su adolescencia le robó el coche a sus padres y se largó, ex presidiaria, ex alcohólica y sin infancia, debe resultar demasiado difícil no vivir sus canciones o cantar su vida, como prefiráis.
No quiero contar mucho más, si os gusta lo que os dejo, escuchadla.
Os la enlazo a Spotify: Mary Gauthier
My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor
Fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over
It won’t be long and he won’t be around
I love my father, and he could use some mercy now
My brother could use a little mercy now
He’s a stranger to freedom
He’s shackled to his fears and doubts
The pain that he lives in is
Almost more than living will allow
I love my bother, and he could use some mercy now
My Church and my Country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit
That’s going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful
Who follow ‘em down
I love my Church and Country and they could use some mercy now
Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race
Towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, well
They’ll do anything to keep their crown
I love life, and life itself could use some mercy now
Yea, we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don’t deserve it
But we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance
Dangle ‘tween hell and hallowed ground
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
