Sólo hay un tema al que le tengo un respeto profundo porque me parece que estoy en una casa encantada en la que me puede pasar cualquier cosa que no sea buena. Eso es lo que me sugiere el empiece de Tokyo Road, pero una vez terminados los 45 segundos de la cajita de música, la canción es todo un ‘temazo’ y un clásico en los conciertos en los 80.El resto de canciones no me desagradan en absoluto. Aunque, reconozco que no puedo ser objetiva, pero es que es imposible serlo…. ¡La objetividad no existe!
Esta entrada está dedicada a una canción cuyo video descubrí hace poco. El tema, en cambio, lo descubrí hace unos cuantos años más gracias a una cinta en la que me grabaron el 7800º Fahrenheit (sí, cinta, habéis leído bien). “Es preciosa”. Era lo que ponía al lado del título “Silent Night”. Y al escuchar la canción corroboré esa opinión.
Si hacéis la prueba de ver las imágenes del videoclip sin audio, te describe visualmente el contenido de la canción. Pero al juntar sonido e imagen, el resultado es casi perfecto.
Silent Night –Bon Jovi
After the smoke clears
When it's down to you and I
When the sun appears
And there's nothing
left but goodbyes
We'll just turn and walk away
How could we let it end like this
Just turn and walk away
Should we seal it with a kiss
It's too late
Now you're out and on the run
It's too late
Held up in love without a gun
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
And we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and
don't let go...
It was all so simple when
You were to be queen and
I'd be your king
I guess those dreams got lost
Cause baby you're still
you and I'm still me
Now letting go
It's always the
hardest part to fight
When we both know
We're just two more
victims of the night
It's too late
Too late to wonder why
Much too late
To save a love that's died.
Silent night
We hold up our candle light
Silent night
The night our love died
No words to say
And we're both too tired to fight
Just hold me close and
don't let go...
Just hold me close and
don't let me go
After the smoke cleared
It was down to you and I
When the sun appeared
There was nothing left
but goodbyes...
