Down memory lane
20/12/2005I have been buying some music on CDs to replace very old tapes. The latest acquisitions (thanks to a bit of consulting work) purchased from Amazon:
- ‘Giros’, by Fito Páez (1985).
- ‘la, la, la’ by Luis Alberto Spinetta and Fito Páez (1986).
- ‘Para los árboles’, by Luis Alberto Spinetta (2003). Actually, this is really a new purchase for me.
I was listening again Pequeño ángel (little angel) by Spinetta (in la, la, la) and thinking of Orlando:
Dame tu luz pequeño ángel
que si te vas se va mi vida
antes que el sol cuelgue sus alas.Cuento las notas de las horas
tengo la piel de tu llovizna
en cuanto el sol cierre sus alas.Luz, sólo luz
respirándome
hay un rumor que me lleva al mar
en tanto que en la sombra
más te busco y más te tengo acá.
Dame tu luz pequeño ángel.
and also listening ‘Instant-taneas’, ‘Gricel’, ‘Estoy atiborrado con tu amor’, and a bunch of other great songs. I am still trying to make sense of ‘Para los árboles’, which is quite different from other Spinetta things. Nevertheless, that happens all the time with El Flaco: he is a little ahead of all of us, showing the way to new sounds and styles. Eventually, I will get there. I only need to listen the CD a few more times.
