Música: "La casa del sol naciente" - Animals

"Elentir" nos recuerda en su blog un clásico de la música moderna ideal para acompañar una noche de seda. Por mi parte, y como ya es de día, voy a poner algo mas "duro" y gravitar hacia el "realismo social". Sin abandonar el aire retro y arriesgándome a promover una de esas "cadenas" de post que tanto gustan, les dejo con una de mis canciones favoritas, también mítica, en la versión que hicieron famosa los Animals. Y es que la voz de Eric Burdon me pone los pelos de punta (en positivo). El primer gran éxito de Folk-rock, "House of the Rising Sun", la historia de un motel de mala muerte o un prostíbulo, no se sabe, en la ciudad de New Orleans.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new bluejeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
