You know how sometimes a song catches more than your ear, and it - TopicsExpress



          

You know how sometimes a song catches more than your ear, and it sticks in your spirit? You may have heard it time and time before, but one day youre washing clothes or braiding your hair in the bathroom and when the song comes on you know its speaking especially to you. And then for several days you play it on repeat and savor the lyrics and the melodies and all the textured nuances of the artist singing it. And you play it until you are intimate with the curve of each note and at peace with each moment of silence. And, though you wish you understood with your mind why this song, why right now, and what it means in the grand scheme, you let go and allow the delicious mystery of it to wash over you again and again. Yeah...that. Id like to share with you, La niebla by one of my favorite artists, Concha Buika. I put Concha Buika up there with those artists for whom Id sell a kidney to hear perform live (also included on this list are Sade, Prince, Tracy Chapman and...well thats mostly it for now). I translated the song to remove any language barrier. May you enjoy and share this appreciation of beautiful contradictions and hard-to-hold-on-to love. La Niebla (Fog) by Concha Buika To see me better, close your eyes To find me better, lose me To keep me close, let go of the rope Because Im here like the fog If you talk to me, dont use your tongue Solitude and I are one If you want me to walk, dont give me a rope Because Im here like the fog Fog doesnt obey rules Its the smoke and mist after the party The fog Fog doesnt know rules Its smoke, cold, and mist after the party Let me come to you like the fog What cant be said, dont say What cant be told, dont tell. Fog doesnt know rules Its smoke, cold, and mist after the party. Let me come to you like the fog What cant be said, dont say What cant be told, dont tell. The fog doesnt know rules Nature that is smoke, cold, and mist after the party. In order to keep me, an open cage In order to enjoy my smile, make me laugh To gather springs before sowing I am here like the fog I remain here like the fog I am here like the fog For you, like the fog.
