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
