In The Blue Light

Reseña

"In the Blue Light" es el título del decimocuarto álbum de estudio del cantante y compositor Paul Simon. Lanzado el 7 de septiembre de 2018 bajo el sello Legacy Recordings, contó con la producción del propio Paul Simon, junto al estadounidense Roy Halee, productor habitual del intérprete y con quien ya trabajó en los tiempos del dúo Simon and Garfunkel.

"In the Blue Light" es una colección inconexa de canciones, la mayoría de ellas poco conocidas y que han sido remasterizadas modificando algunos arreglos originales y letras.

Para las grabaciones, Paul Simon contó con prestigiosos músicos invitados, como el guitarrista Bill Frisell o Wynton Marsalis, uno de los trompetistas de jazz de vanguardia y abanderado del neoclasicismo. También participó en las grabaciones el sexteto de cámara neoyorquino yMusic. En la batería, Simon ha contado con los músicos Jack DeJohnette y Steve Gadd.

Las sesiones de grabación concluyeron con un amplio catálogo de temas, pero finalmente se realizó una selección para incluir solamente diez temas.

La selección incluye temas de los setenta, como "One man’s ceiling is another man's floor" y "Some folks' lives roll easy", de los ochenta ("How the heart approaches what it yearns", "René and Georgette Magritte with their dog after the war") y el resto se reparte en canciones de diferentes épocas hasta la actualidad.

    letra de Love

    Cool me

    Cool my fever high

    Hold me when I cry

    I need it so much

    Makes you want to get down crawl like a beggar

    For its touch

    And all the while it's free as air

    Like plants the medicine is everywhere



    Love

    Love

    Love



    We crave it so badly

    Makes you want to laugh out loud when you receive it

    And gobble it like a candy



    We think it's easy

    Sometimes it's easy

    But it's not easy

    You're going to break down and cry

    We're not important

    We should be grateful

    And if you're wondering why



    Love

    Love

    Love



    The price that we pay

    When evil walks the planet

    And love is crushed like clay

    The master races, the chosen people

    The burning temple, the weeping cathedrals

  4. How the Heart Approaches What It YearnsVer letra 4:30

    letra de How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns

    In the blue light

    Of the belvedere Motel

    Wondering as the television burns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns



    In a fever

    I distinctly hear your voice

    Emerging from a dream, the dream returns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns



    After the rain on the Interstate

    The headlights slide past the moon

    A bone-weary traveler

    Waits by the side of the road

    Where's he goin?



    I dream we are lying on the top of a hill

    And headlights slide past the moon

    I fold in your arms

    And your voice is the heat of the night

    I'm on fire



    In a phone booth

    In some local bar and grill

    Rehearsing waht I'll say, my coin returns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns

    letra de Pigs, Sheep and Wolves

    Big and fat

    Pig's supposed to look like that

    Barnyard thug

    Sleep on straw and calls it a rug

    Yeah that's a rug, ok

    He's walking down the street

    And nobody's going to argue with him

    He's a half-a-ton of pig meat



    Up in the hills above the farm

    Lives a pack of wolves

    Never did no harm

    Sleep all day

    Hunt till four

    Maybe catch a couple of rodents

    You know carnivore



    Sheep in the meadow

    Nibbling on some clover

    One of the sheep wanders over

    Sits by a rock

    Separated from the flock

    He's just sitting by a rock



    Where'd he go?

    I don't know

    Well he was here a minute ago

    I don't know

    Sheep's dead

    Got a gash as big as a wolf's head

    Oh God



    Big and fat

    Pig's supposed to look like that

    Wallowing in lanolin

    He's rubbing it into his pigskin

    Police going crazy

    Let's get him

    Let's get that wolf

    Let's get him

    Let's get that wolf

    Let's get him

    Let's kill him, Let's get him

    Let's kill him



    Court-appointed lawyer wasn't very bright

    Or maybe he was bright

    Maybe he just had a late night

    Yeah it was just a late night

    And he files some feeble appeal

    And the governor says forget it

    It's a done deal

    Election, I don't care, election

    Let's give that wolf a lethal injection

    Let's get him, yeah get him

    Let's kill him, Let's get him

    Let's kill him, Let's get him,kill him

    Let's get him and kill him



    Whew, slow

    Here comes the media

    Setting up their camera

    Asking everyone's opinion

    About pigs, sheep and wolves



    Big and fat

    Pig's supposed to laugh like that

    This is hilarious

    What a great time

    I'm the pig who committed

    The perfect crime



    All around the world

    France, Scandinavia

    There's candle light vigils

    Protesting this behavior

    It's animal behavior

    Animal behavior

    It's Pig, sheep and wolves

    Pig, sheep and wolves

    Pig, sheep and wolves

    It's animal behavior

    Pig, sheep and wolves

    letra de René and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War

    Rene and Georgette Magritte

    With their dog after the war

    Returned to their hotelsuite

    And they unlocked the door

    Easily losing their evening clothes

    They dance by the light of the moon

    To The Penguins

    The Moonglows

    The Orioles

    and The Five Satins

    The deep forbidden music

    They'd been longing for

    Rene and Georgette Magritte

    With their dog after the war

    Rene and Georgette Magritte

    With their dog after the war

    Were strolling down Christopher Street

    When they stopped in a men's store

    With all of the mannequins

    Dressed in the style

    That brought tears to their

    Immigrant eyes

    Just like The Penguins

    The Moonglows

    The Orioles

    and The Five Satins

    The easy stream of laughter

    Flowing through the air

    Rene and Georgette Magritte

    With their dog apres la guerre

    Side by side

    They fell asleep

    Decades gliding by like Indians

    Time is cheap

    When they wake up they will find

    All their personal belongings

    Have intertwined

    Rene and Georgette Magritte

    With their dog after the war

    Were dining with the power elite

    And they looked in their bedroom drawer

    And what do you think

    They have hidden away

    In the cabinet cold of their hearts?

    The Penguins

    The Moonglows

    The Orioles

    and The Five Satins

    For now and ever after

    As it was before

    Rene and Georgette Magritte With their dog

    After the war

  7. The TeacherVer letra 3:45

    [X]

    letra de The Teacher

    There once was a teacher of great renown

    Whose words were like the tablets of stone

    Because it's easier to learn than unlearn

    Because we've passed the point of no return

    Gather your goods and follow me

    Or you will surely die



    I was only a child of the city

    My parents were children of immigrant stock

    So we followed as followers go

    Over a mountain with a napkin of snow

    And ate the berries and roots

    That grown along the timberline

    Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love

    Sleep on a quilt of stars



    It's cold

    Sometimes you can't catch your breath

    It's so cold



    Time and abundance thickened his step

    So the teacher divided in two

    One half ate the forest and fields

    The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds

    And we, we were amazed at the power of his appetite



    Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love

    Sleeps on a quilt of stars



    Sometimes we don't know who we are

    Sometimes force overpowers us and we cry

    My teacher carry me home

    Carry me home my teacher

    Carry me home

    Carry me home my teacher

    Carry me home

    letra de Darling Lorraine

    The first time I saw her

    I couldn't be sure

    But the sin of impatience

    Said "She's just what you're looking for"

    So I walked right up to her

    And with the part of me that talks

    I introduced myself as Frank

    From New York

    New York



    She's so hot

    She's so cool

    I'm not

    I'm just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine



    All my life I've been a wanderer

    Not really, I mostly lived near my parents home

    Anyway Lorraine and I got married

    Ant the usual marriage stuff

    Then one day she says to me

    From out of the blue

    She says, "Frank, I've had enough

    Romance is a heartbreaker

    I'm not meant to be a homemaker

    And I'm tired of being Darling Loraine"



    What!? you don't love me anymore?

    What!? you're walking out the door?

    What!? you don't like the way I chew?

    Hey, let me tell you

    You're not the woman that I wed

    You say you're depressed but you're not

    You just like to stay in bed

    I don't need you darling Lorraine

    Darling Lorraine

    Lorraine

    I long for your love



    Financially speaking

    I guess I'm a washout

    Everybody's buy and sell

    And sell and buy

    That's what the whole thing's all about

    If it had not been Lorraine

    I'd have left her long ago

    I should have been a musician

    I love the piano



    She's so light

    She's so free

    I'm tight, well, that's me

    But I feel so good

    With Darling Lorraine



    On Christmas morning Frank awakes

    To find Loraine has made a stack of pancakes

    They watch the television, husband and wife

    All afternoon "It's a wonderful life"



    What!? you don't love me anymore?

    What!? you're walking out the door?

    What!? you don't like the way I chew?

    Hey let me tell you

    You're not the woman that I wed

    Gimme my robe I'm going back to bed

    I'm sick to death of you Lorraine



    Darling Lorraine

    Lorraine

    Her hands like wood

    The doctor was smiling

    But the news wasn't good



    Darling Lorraine

    Please don't leave me yet

    I know you're in pain

    Pain you can't forget

    Your breathing is like an echo of our love

    Maybe I'll go down to the corner store

    And buy us something sweet

    Here's an extra blanket honey

    To wrap around your feet

    All the trees were washed with april rain

    And the moon in the meadow

    Took Darling Lorraine

    letra de Questions for the Angels

    A pilgrim on a pilgrimmage

    Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge

    His sneakers torn

    In the hour when the homeless move their cardboard blankets

    And the new day is born



    Folded in his backpack pocket

    The questions that he copied from his heart

    Who Am I in this lonely world?

    Where will I make my bed tonight?

    When twilight turns to dark



    Questions for the angels...

    Who believes in angels?

    Fools do...

    Fools and pilgrims all over the world



    If you shop for Love in a bargain store

    And you don't get what you are bargain for...

    Can you get your money back?

    If an empty train in a railway station

    Calls you to its destination

    Can you choose another track?



    Will I wake up from these violent dreams?

    With my hair as white as the morning moon?



    Questions for the angels...

    Who believes in angels?

    I do...

    Fools and pilgrims all over the world



    Downtown Brooklyn

    The pilgrim is passing a bill-board

    And catches his eyes

    It's Jay-Z

    He's got a kid on each knee

    He is wearing clothes that he wants us to try



    If every human on the planet

    And all the buildings in it

    Should disappear

    Would a zebra grazing in the african savana

    Care enough to share one zebra tear?



    Questions for the angels...
