"Absent Friends"
Absent friends, here's to them
And happy days, we thought that they would never end.
Here's to absent friends.
Little Jean Seberg seemed
So full of life, but in those eyes such troubled dreams.
Poor little Jean.
Woodbine Willie couldn't rest until he'd
Given every bloke a final smoke before the killing.
Old Woodbine Willie.
Steve McQueen jumped the first one clean
But the great escape he'd tried to make was not to be.
Maybe next time Steve.
Laika flew through inky blue
'Til Laika neared the atmosphere and Laika knew
Laika's life was through.
Oscar Wilde was a lonely child.
He fought and won acceptance from the world.
They smiled, they laughed, they praised,
They drove poor Oscar to his grave.
Absent friends, here's to them,
And happy days, we thought that they would never end,
But they always end.
Raise your glasses then to absent friends.
Absent friends, here's to them
And happy days, we thought that they would never end.
Here's to absent friends.

[Del disco Absent Friends, que Neil Hannon (habitual colaborador de Yann Tiersen y Ute Lemper) compuso cuando se cansó de los amigos reales con los que integraba The Divine Comedy, y decidió hacer suyo este proyecto musical de cabo rabo. Quizá incluyendo a alguno que otro amigo imaginario...]

the book lovers sera siempre una de mis canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos
"This book deals with epiphenomenalism, which has to do with consciousness as a mere accessory of physiological processes whose presence or absence... makes no difference... whatever are yo
doing?"... Es también una de mis canciones favoritas, Pablo. No he escuchado el último disco de The Divine Comedy, pero me gustaba mucho todo lo que hacían en la época de "The Booklovers" y después, con "Regeneration"... Un abrazo
Me golpearás
Ese hombre suena bastante bien, pero el que si no logro saborear muy bien es Yann Tiersen, él se me simula como un bocadillo afrodisiaco Francés, caro por que es comído por los más grandes magnátes pero que en primera impresión para el proletariado, que está acostumbrado a sabores más corrientes, se le hace difícil de digerir, y pues es por ello que aún no le tomo sabor a Yann Tiersen, es música de la cuál aún no estoy preparado, me eh descargado unas cosas y está tardando para encajar, x'D quizá sea por la evacion de raperos que esta sacumbiendo mi vida. que se yo...
esta canción me agrada.
