Hoy, en un arrebato, he decidido aprender a tocar una de las canciones que más me han marcado con la guitarra, y he de decir que ha sido un pequeño gran éxito :) Me sale genial y es súper sencilla, ahora sólo falta aprenderme el solo.

Checked umbrella

Tonight, the city around us felt like scenes from a film, one after another. The only thing that was left for us to do was wading into a fountain, because from the meeting point (the only classic cinema left in the centre) till the very goodbye kiss, it seemed like cloud nine again.

I recall the film stills: the intermittent pre-summer rain, the grey light that bathed the walls of the buildings, the silvery façade of the cathedral from below while we watched the silhouettes of drops fall through a lamp, all clashing with your cartoon-drawn smile and that half-broken checked umbrella that suited you perfectly. Like a classic comedic drama from the 60's. Nice dinner, too, but it's not the eel uramaki what I'll cherish the most, but the long, unexpected kiss-sprinkled walk home.

These moments... I hope I learn again how to enjoy them without the shadow hanging over me.

A quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide

And so, it ends. All I've got left is the "constant vigilance" from my parents, fearing I will do it again.
I feel so numb, disappointed. I feel I can't go through this.

let down again

Transport, motorways and tramlines starting and then stopping,
taking off and landing, the emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going

Don't get sentimental, tt always ends up drivel

One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction, hysterical and useless

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
