OLD PINE

Un buen amigo me pasó hace unos días un gran tema musical de Ben Howard, titulado Old Pine.Ben Howard es un cantante inglés que aun no ha cumplido los 30 pero ya se ha hecho un hueco en el panorama internacional. Comparado con otros cantante folks como Nick Drake o John Martyn, lanzó su primer disco en 2011, hace tan sólo unos meses.

Considerado por algunos como el equivalente al americano Jack Johnson, surfero igual que él, en su disco Every Kingdom nos trae unas canciones melodiosas, dulces y en algunos momentos melancólicas. KLmagazine

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,

I've come to know that memories

Were the best things you ever had

The summer shone beat down on bony backs

So far from home where the ocean stood

Down dust and pine cone tracks

We slept like dogs down by the fire side

Awoke to the fog where all around us

The bloom of summertime

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning.

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,

I've come to know the friends around you

Are all you'll always have

Smoke in my lungs, the echoed stone

Careless and young, free as the birds that fly

With weightless souls now.

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

We stood

Steady as the stars in the woods

So happy-hearted

And the warmth rang true inside these bones

As the old pine fell we sang

Just to bless the morning.

We grow, grow, steady as the morning

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, steady as the flowers

We grow, grow, older still

We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn

We grow, grow, older still
