Sara Bareilles, es una artista que me gusta mucho mucho. Sus canciones y letras son Most Played, en mi celular. Realmente, me gusta. Pero ayer, mientras viajaba a las Sierras Cordobesas, apareció (Bendito Shuffle) uno de mis temas favoritos: King Of Anything.
Y la verdad, que en este momento, viene genial su letra… Parafraseando a una amiga parece que la gente ahora se cree Paulo Coelho y te quiere salvar, te aconseja sobre lo COPADA que es la vida… Ah si? Mirá vos.. Me alegro, pero mi pesimismo y yo, acá nos quedamos siendo infelices, porque todo bien, eh, todo bien.
Así que “gracias por tu tiempo” pero el mío no lo pierdo más…
El año terminó con tal suceso y qué bueno. Empieza uno nuevo y no voy a decir que “será mejor” y esas sandeces. No, que sea lo que sea, ya veremos qué nos deparará el 2011. Si es nada, bueno; más de lo mismo. Si es algo, genial; quiero recuperar mi capacidad de asombro.
Adiós 2010. Hola 2011.
*Acá les dejo la letra y el video (acá en el hipervínculo)
King Of Anything – Sara Bareilles
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ‘em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time, and try not to waste anymore of mine
And get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe, but I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
You sound so innocent, all full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset
I’m not the one who’s lost with no direction
But you’ll never see
You’re so busy making maps with my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down, just not the listening
And who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it’s my turn to decide
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be?
Who died and made you king of anything?
Let me hold your crown, babe.
¿Quién murió?
