Calexico - The News about William

-Canción: The News about William

-Artista: Calexico

-Año: 2008

-La conocí por: siguiendo a jairo javala (Depedro), me enteré que este grupo colaboró en su primer y genial disco, asi pues empecé a escucharlos hace año y pico.

-Me gusta por: su estilo es inmediatamente reconocible, pero muy complicado de definir..tiene sentimiento, es profundo, es polvoriento, es tradicional...Sigo muy de cerca su lista de conciertos futuros, a esta gente les tengo que ver yo en vivo, si o si.

-Una frase:

"The music box broken that once was his soul. Its sad little song spinning out of control"

-Momento perfecto para escucharla: yo me lo imagino en un atardecer otoñal en el tipico pueblo de nuevo mexico, con su iglesia, sus casas coloridas. Esa clásica tarde que parece que lloverá en cualquier momento pero que no lo hace...wow!

-El videoclip trata de: no tiene

-Deberias escucharla por: música fronteriza!!

-La letra:

Four in the morning the sidewalk's asleep
Dogs on the porch and spiders on the leaf
Shipwrecked by night, sailing through days
Nobody noticed the slipping away

Connecting the dots with thorns in his side
Boarded up the windows with pain and with pride
The music box broken that once was his soul
It's sad little song spinning out of control

Then came the storm that washed the roads out
Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south
Second line drums marched into the sea
While the clouds overhead cried mutiny

They parted for Cathy and her bitter news
As her words failed, the sky grew dim
Recalled how close to that exit I've been

Ours not to reply, ours not to reason why
Well, the news about William
The lifeline retreats, the desire for the breeze
The thorns in his side
