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
