01 They Go Down

Todo termina. Y no lo digo yo: pasa, es así y punto, no se habla más. La defunción prematura, la finalización abrupta de algo que pensábamos duradero o eterno, puede impactarnos, marcarnos para siempre. La prolongación de algo más allá de su expectativa de vida, también. Pero cuando la decisión de acabar con una vida (con un proyecto, con un sentimiento, con una costumbre, con lo que sea) es premeditada, las reacciones posibles son dos. O tratamos de comprender las razones o nos indignamos y nos amargamos para siempre.

Hubo una vez una banda llamada White Stripes, una banda que marcó una época, que estuvo liderada por un hombre prolífico, talentoso y responsable de dar nacimiento a varios de los mejores temas de los 00. Hubo. Un buen día, Jack y Meg White tomaron la decisión definitoria: matar a su primogénito. Después de más de una década, en febrero de este año, los White Stripes dejaron concientemente de tocar. Ante la noticia, muchos optaron por confiar en la capacidad creativa del tipo: sus bandas paralelas (Raconteurs, Dead Wheater), su participación en otros proyectos (Rome, con Daniel Luppi y Danger Mouse, por ejemplo), su tarea como productor (con un nombre basta: Wanda Jackson) y sus acciones mediante Third Man Records fueron consideradas suficientes para mantener vivo ese espíritu blanco. Otros, sin embargo, lloraron desconsoladamente.

Durante el día de ayer se dieron a conocer dos rarezas inéditas de la difunta banda. Dos covers: "Signed D.C" de Love (de su disco debut de 1966) y "I´ve Been Loving You Too Long" de Otis Redding. Y helos aquí. Todo termina, sí, pero la posibilidad de volver al recuerdo (como París, ptff), no se acaba nunca.

The White Stripes - I ve Been Loving You Too Long

Violent Femmes- Good Feeling

Know just what you said.
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't want to act like you're not just like the rest of us.
But it works for you, I guess.
Too much; I need the weight off both my shoulders.
It's already November, and it's getting colder.
And I remember what you said like yesterday.
How could I forget that face?
And what you did to me was so fucked up.
But I'm done crying over stupid stuff.
And you're stupid drugs.
That you did in front of me, knowing how fucked up I was.
You know how fucked up that was.
I'll never figure it out with you.
Too drunk can't even tie my shoes back down.
Living in the world you made right now.
But it feels like a maze right now.
How this shit so awful?
How'd you let it get this awful?
I might as well just off it.
Know just what you said.
Hey, hey, hey.
And I don't want to act like you're not just like the rest of us.
But it works for you, I guess.
-both my shoulders.
It's already November, and it's getting colder.
How could I forget that face?
And what you did to me was so fucked up.
But I'm done crying over stupid stuff.
And you're stupid drugs.
That you did in front of me, knowing how fucked up I was.
You know how fucked up that was.
I'll never figure it out with you.
Too drunk can't even tie my shoes back down.
Living in the world you made right now.
But it feels like a maze right now.

How this shit so awful?
