Anne Clark - El mejor concierto del 2008

Concierto Anne Clark.

Sin duda el concierto dado por Anne Clark el 24 de Octubre en la Laboral de Gijón, fué lo mejor del año.

La presencia de la cantante de culto britanica se debió a la presentación del minimalista último disco "The Smallest Acts Of Kindness", pero también nos obsequió con un repaso a sus grandes exitos, "Poem Without Words", "Homecoming", "Elegy For A Lost Summer" "Sleeper in Metrópolis", "Our Darkness" y mi canción preferida; "Now"...

Yo allí en primera fila eché de menos no poder poder ponerme a bailar, como lo hicimos en su anterior gira por España allá por 1997, las canciones lo requerían, mi cuerpo me lo pedía, mis latidos se aceleraban; solo pudé gritar con todas mis fuerzas hasta quedarme sin aliento. También tenemos que agradecer lo accesible que fué, que hasta se acercó a la salida a firmar y hacerse fotos. En fin, un concierto increible y una noche inolvidable, espero que no tenga que esperar 11 años para volver a verla.

Anne Clark - Now (Live)




Anne Clark - Now
Swaet runs down the centre of my back
Crawling like an insect - it makes a track
Swaet runs down the nape of my neck
Anticipation - the cause and the effect

So catch each drop as I catch each breath
'Til there's no doubt, no indecision,
'til there's not one question left

Walking streets alone amid a mass of strangers faces
Fill my time with thoughts of you and I in distant places
Now i must have you !

You breathe new life - it's all around
It calls my name without a sound
This distance cuts down deep inside
Planes carre like knievs acrosss the sky
I must be with you !

This place never cares
to see who goes or who remains
I wait and watch the boats set sail,
I linger and listen to the far off trains

This land of mine, drifts off alone, far out to sea
With no direction, no intention, nothing left to offer me
And I can't stay !

It stand alone - back on the world
And through it all it still seems to curl
Itself around the people, binding tighter than a rope
Gives nothing away for something, each day without hope
It's no home for the luxury of love !

The Good Life out of each on the placards
Doesn't hide away the truth of the broken down facades
The buildings burn, the streets on fire
Every muscle,every nerve stretched to reach for somewhere higher
Feel me now !

Will youremain, place your trust
Turn ideas into motions before mechanisms rust
Will you hold me tight with arms, with words,
in your comfort keep me warm
I beg refuge in your shelter as I fly into the storm

Take me !

Take me now
