Estaba faltando este disco, uno de los mejores discos que ha hecho Dylan junto con Blood On The Tracks, dos discos extremadamente completos, donde cada uno encierra diferentes etapas de este gran poeta. Dos caras de la misma moneda. Ya he subido un tema de Blood On The Tracks, es el momento de darle su merecida presentación a esa joyita que brilla y no deja de brillar, esa luz que ilumina tu rostro cuando acaricias el asfalto con tus pies en una noche de verano... Ese destello que tanto miras, no es la luna, no son las estrellas, es eso que tanto estás buscando. Hace calor, te deslizas por la calle como si no hubiera fricción, patinás, mientras ese resplandor te tiene hipnotizado, pensando, sintiendo. ¿Qué es eso que te está pasando? Es una extraña sensación, inexplicable, no podés encontrar adjetivos que retraten ese circo de emociones que no te suelta de ese cautiverio ni por un segundo. Y de pronto, frenaste, tu mente se puso en blanco, y te das cuenta de qué está sucediendo. Esa luminiscencia te recuerda algo, más precisamente alguien, esa persona que tanto deseas...
Si buscás la forma de decirle a una persona cuánto la deseas, cuánto la querés, este es el tema que estás buscando. La poesía visual que tiene es exquisita, es una obra maestra que Dylan pintó con sus extremidades, con una sutileza y delicadeza como si fueran pinceles. Con frases como "pero no es la forma, no nací para perderte" y "pero lo hice porque te mintió, porque te usó, y porque el tiempo estaba de su lado y porque... Te quiero...".
Dylan parece haber perdido a esta mujer, pero es evidente que es una puerta que no cierra con llave, más allá de que todo lo que lo rodea le dice que debería rechazarla. Bob está atascado, y yo también, no se me ocurre más nada para escribir...
"I Want You"
The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
The drunken politician leaps
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviors who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin' from my broken cup
And ask for me
Open up the gate for you
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
Now all my fathers they've gone down
True love they've been without it
But all their daughters put me down
'Cause I don't think about it.
Well, I return to the Queen of Spades
And talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid
To look at her
She is good to me
And there's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him - Was I ?
But I did though because he lied
Because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side
And because I ..
I want you, I want you
Yes, I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.
