Buenos días: On a Plain, Nirvana

por Paty Leiva

Por alguna razón esta canción me parece “alegre”, contrastando con el siguiente track (Something in The Way) del Nevermind que me pone totalmente abajo. No se si será que la batería parte con todo de una, si serán los coros o las segundas voces, pero algo me hace mover la patita y la cabeza cada vez que la escucho y canto fuerte “I love myself better than you!”.

La fórmula es perfecta, el ritmo y los momentos por los que pasa, especialmente esa especie de suspenso mientras Kurt canta “Somewhere I have heard this before…” para rematar con la batería y la guitarra dandolo todo.

Lo que hubiese dado por escuchar esto en vivo. Buenos días!

‘ll start this off without any words
I got so high I scratched ’till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I’ve ever had
Was when I learned to cry on commmand
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?

I’m on a plain, mmmm
I can’t complain, mmmm
I’m on a plain, mmmm

My mother died every night
It’s safe to say, quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?

I’m on a plain, mmmm
I can’t complain, mmmm
I’m on a plain, mmmm

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defence I’m neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don’t make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I’m done, and I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it’s wrong so what should I do?

I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain
I can’t complain
I’m on a plain…

Ooh Ooh
