El vértigo de la nostalgia.

(Esto, cada vez más, se lee con música, se entiende con música. Así se siente. Apriétale PLAY allá abajo, lector. Ve las imágenes y piérdete por ahí. Lee la letra de la canción. A ver si encuentras esa belleza que yo siento que está ahí, siempre, un paso más allá, entre todo)

Cuando empujamos la vida un paso más allá; a la belleza que no se ve entre los pliegues, en las orillas de una voz que nunca se va.

La nostalgia es un vértigo, un incesante momento en el que estamos parados en medio de un mundo de cabeza, alterado; un mundo en el que lo único ya reconocible somos nosotros entre el sentimiento a punto de caerse encima nuestro. La nostalgia es un sentimiento que ya no encaja con el mundo pero lo habita; es el último hálito de ese mundo que se fue. Es un homenaje a nuestro corazón de entonces. La nostalgia es desear que el tiempo no pase, que no haya pasado; es quedarse para siempre en un instante. La nostalgia es seguir amando un mundo vuelto al revés.

Farther Along

Josh Garrels

Farther along we’ll know all about it

Farther along we’ll understand why

Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine

We’ll understand this, all by and by.

Tempted and tried, I wondered why

The good man died, the bad man thrives

And Jesus cries because he loves em’ both

We’re all cast-aways in need of ropes

Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope

In a house of mirrors full of smoke

Confusing illusions I’ve seen

Where did I go wrong, I sang along

To every chorus of the song

That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates

Leading mice and men down to their fates

But some will courageously escape

The seductive voice with a heart of faith

While walkin’ that line back home

So much more to life than we’ve been told

It’s full of beauty that will unfold

And shine like you struck gold my wayward son

That deadweight burden weighs a ton

Go down into the river and let it run

And wash away all the things you’ve done

Forgiveness alright

Chorus

Still I get hard pressed on every side

Between the rock and a compromise

Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul

And I’ve got no place left go

Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown

More glory than the world has known

Keeps me ramblin’ on

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall

I’m free to love once and for all

And even when I fall I’ll get back up

For the joy that overflows my cup

Heaven filled me with more than enough

Broke down my levee and my bluff

Let the flood wash me

And one day when the sky rolls back on us

Some rejoice and the others fuss

Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess

That the son of god is forever blessed

His is the kingdom, we’re the guests

So put your voice up to the test

Sing Lord, come soon

Chorus

from Love & War & The Sea In Between
