Fin del mundo.

El otro día, platicando de música con una amiga, empezamos a jugar un hermoso juego improvisado que yo decidí llamar "El soundtrack del fin del mundo".

Funciona así:

Imaginen que estamos en el 2012 y que un cometa está a punto de caer sobre la Tierra, matándonos a todos.
Los científicos de todo el mundo ya dijeron que las posibilidades de supervivencia son del 0%
Absolutamente nadie sobrevivirá.

Por alguna razón, los presidentes de todas las naciones pusieron bocinas gigantes en todas partes, para poder transmitir mensajes finales y que sean escuchados por todos, sin importar dónde se encuentren.

De alguna forma, ustedes han sido elegidos para escoger el soundtrack del último día sobre la tierra.
Cada hora, una canción del soundtrack será tocada en todas las bocinas del mundo, dándole a la humanidad una última playlist.

El chiste del juego es que tienen que escoger 24 canciones. Las 24 últimas canciones que el mundo escuchará, y que deben representar una despedida final.

It's a fun game, ain't it?

En fin, después de mucho pensarlo, éstas fueron mis 24 canciones del fin del mundo (con links incluídos)

Hora: 3:00
Canción: The Sounds Of Silence
Artista: Simon & Garfunkel
Frase destacada: And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking. People hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share.

Canción: Hallelujah
Artista: Leonard Cohen
Frase destacada: I did my best, it wasn't much. I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch. I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you. And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.

Canción: How Far We've Come
Artista: Matchbox Twenty
Frase destacada: I think it turned 10 o'clock but I don’t really know, and I can’t remember caring for an hour or so. Started crying and I couldn’t stop myself, I started running but there's nowhere to run to.

Artista: Fastball
Frase destacada: Anyone could see the road that they walk on is paved in gold, and it's always summer, they'll never get cold, they'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray. You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere; they won't make it home but they really don't care. They wanted the highway, they're happier there today...

- The Way -

Hora: 16:00
Canción: Drops Of Jupiter
Artista: Train
Frase destacada: And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star, one without a permanent scar? And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there? And did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day? And now you're lonely looking for yourself out there...

Canción: Freebird
Artista: Lynyrd Skynyrd
Frase destacada: If I leave here tomorrow would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on now 'cause there's too many places I've got to see. But if I stayed here with you, things just couldn't be the same, 'cause I'm as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change...

- Freebird -


Hora: 22:00
Canción: What A Wonderful World

Oralia T. dijo...

Loved it, pero te faltó 'Zero Sum', de Nine Inch Nails.

"And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade,
That you are the reason that I am not afraid.
And I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall,
We will be together soon if we will be anything at all."

Ninja Peruano dijo...

Ooooh, mucha razón, no sé cómo se me pudo ir Reznor...
My bad.

faltó una de Justin Bivergas o los Jonas Brocas para darle más terror al fin del mundo...

También me gustan cosas más hipsteronas, sí, pero a fin de cuentas, no hay nada mejor que el rock clásico.

This could cause them to grow less, flower less, and maybe even die.
Place organic kitchen waste, as well as yard
waste such as grass clippings, leaves, and the like into a compost bin.
In this same respect, mulch aids in the prevention of soil splashing onto plants.

Everyone who is into style depends on a great stylist
to look good and help with hair issues and problems.
My hair doesn't always look good when I'm going to attend openings and red carpet
events. The professional hair merchandise of Loreal are effectively currently being sold all
more than the world in about one hundred thirty different countries.
