Santiago, December 4, 2008.
Clara, Clara different
,
stranger among your people, look away.
Clara,
adrift
had no luck in choosing the exit door.
Clara,
abandoned in the arms of another loneliness.
Hoping to make friends
snow away from another insight, discovering worlds
where it never rains,
escaping again and again. Bailing
penalties to go ...
black stars were in his veins
and nobody wanted to ask.
Clara was caught,
left work,
collapsed. Clara
languished in a road loss anxieties and ragweed.
Clara said nothing
and one day disappeared. Traveling
sidewalks were say
adjusting the passage to the other, trying
anything for money
incarse to fire again.
That morning
Clara sank,
had the sea of \u200b\u200bfear in his eyes,
soaked clothes and the ground pillow
and slowly dawned.
("Clara", Joan Baptista Hume)
I just learned of the death of Joan Baptista Hume. Listening to music thanks to You Tube, listening almost the only song I knew this man (ie, "Clara"), I saw numerous messages to you, bye. Google allowed me to discover what had happened, not long ago, only a couple of days.
Who was Joan Baptista Hume? I do not know. I know he was a singer, of course. My years of bigotry by Radio Cooperativa allowed me to hear many times what is surely his most famous song, "Clara." Someday, one of those features that my obsessive music lovers abanderizarme take me long hours with a song, hearing it over and over again, I discovered I had a website. What's more, he had written there, at least one time. It read as very simple, yet very happy and free, very much alive. Surely, despite the disease that took it must have started in deep peace. (And because of that other song I knew him, and will know much more safe. Or so they hope)
"Clara" is one of those songs that makes me sad, makes me thoughtful. As noted, "Clara" is a song about drugs, a girl affected by drugs. And yet, the songs, like the poems, are "democratic" when it leaves the space, and thus in the background also talk about what you want, not just what the author intended. And then my "Clara" is a topic that gives me things, some very deep and intimate ... Sensations are not to be posted here.
However, connecting with another fine musical event, but courtesy of the competition (one night listening to the evening program of Radio Bio Bio of James) gave another song, very different mood. And, crazy ideas, I thought the following:
"Clara, different, unusual among his people. A drift, escaping again and again, nobody wanted to ask. Trapped, languished.
Carlos knew it. And asked: What could I say?
Without knowing it, found he had fingers to the piano. He began to improvise, to play. Sounded the music, rhythm, drums and vocals. And Clara
surprised because I knew dancing. And moved. Better than him.
dancers were discovered in the midst of music they rejoiced the soul, music that did not stop playing. "
What did Carlos?
