MESOPOTAMIA (FRANCO BATTIATO)



"Los hay que se envejecen, afloran recuerdos muy lejanos como si fuera ayer, me veo como en brazos de mi madre y siento aún los tiernos comentarios de mi padre. Comidas de domingos en familia, las ganas de un deseo irracional, primeros pasos, risas y dolores. La primera gota blanca, qué impresión y qué placer extraño y un enamoramiento sin sentido, por ley natural a aquella edad, primer acorde en un órgano de iglesia en la sacristía y un dogmático respeto hacia las instituciones. ¿qué cosa quedará de mi, del tránsito terrenal, de todas las impresiones que tengo en esta vida?
Me gusta el pensamiento radical, la muerte muy consciente que se autoimpuso Sócrates, y la desaparición misteriosa y única del Majorana. La vida cínica e interesante de Landolfi, opuesto pero cerca de un monje birmano, o la misantropía celeste de Benedetti Michelangeli.
Yo también mirándome, vivo desde milenios y vengo recto de la alta cultura de los sumerios, del arte cuneiforme del escriba y siempre duermo dentro de un saco porque no quiero perder el contacto con la tierra.
El valle entre los ríos de Mesopotamia que vio en sus orillas a Isaac de Nínive.
¿Qué cosa quedará de mí, del tránsito terrenal, de todas las impresiones que tengo en esta vida?"

SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW GOTYE




Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So, when we found that we could not make sense

Well, you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way, reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need, that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody, I used to know

Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody, I used to know

Somebody, now you're just somebody that I used to know

I used to know

That I used to know

I used to know

Somebody
