Los MOOCs son una de esas cosas de la postmodernidad que me dan esperanza. Hice un curso online gratuito de Songwriting fantástico, y éste fue uno de los últimos trabajos que entregué.
To Come Back Home habla de volver a casa después de mucho tiempo, pero también de volver a la verdad de unx mismx después de intentar vivir fuera de ella.
La grabación es caseramente chapucera, así que escucharla es opcional 😉
The snow has almost washed away
the walls once made of stone.
The latch is broken, off the gate
under the nettles overgrown.
Is this the place I once belonged
where time’s been carving holes.
Has it survived while I’ve been gone
is it the same, how can I know?
Because it’s taken me so long
to come back home.
I wish I couldn’t claim as mine
this winter of the soul.
I have been staying in a lie
a lie I can’t call home.
The day I heard the siren’s call
no time to say goodbye
forgot my past, I learnt their song,
forgot my | lullaby.
That’s why it’s taken me so long
to come back home.
Bridge:
What with the pain of being lonely?
what with the pain of being mad?
The truth can never be forgotten
it always pulls you back
(it always pulls you back)
I wish I hadn’t been so long
away from who I am.
Love echoes in familiar walls
no longer trapped outside.
The night will fade into the dawn,
July will melt the snow.
Never will I forget my song
it’s time to let it grow.
Because it’s taken me so long
to come back ho-ome.
