Buenos días: Funny the way it is, Dave Matthews Band


por Sur

El 16 de octubre Dave Matthews estará en vivo en Santiago y lo encuentro increíble. Espero poder estar ese día en el Movistar Arena para escuchar a esta banda que me gusta mucho y que logró despertar en mí el gusto por el virtuosismo de esas canciones largas, llenas de solos y de improvisaciones grandiosas que este grupo hace un sus conciertos.

Funny the way it is es parte del último disco del grupo llamado Big Whiskey And The Groogrux King, primer trabajo que realizan luego de la muerte del saxofonista del grupo el año 2008. Ojo que la melodía y las caras de Dave Matthews en el video son simpaticonas, pero Funny the way… no es nada de divertida en realidad.

Cruzando los dedos por poder ir al concierto… buenos días para todo@s!


Funny the way it is
Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass and the children play
Sirens pass and fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this
And evening comes and were hanging out
On the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing “Why can’t we be friends?”
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry
And someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in a lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
Hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby is being born

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Watch the sky
A jet plane so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
A boy chase a bird
So close but every time
He never catch her but he can’t stop trying
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath
His baby’s being born

Funny the way it is
Not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart
Becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is
If you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school
Another’s dropping out

Standing on a bridge
Watch the water passing under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Compared to how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars
