Pearl Jam - Black

Cuando salió Ten, lo escuchaba todo el día… Y más allá del aclamado Jeremy, para mí Black tenía una fuerza hipnótica… Era como un pozo en el que caías, y no solamente no era doloroso, sino que podías acomodarte y dejarte llevar por la voz arrulladora y dolorosa de E. Vedder…

Esta versión en vivo en Cleveland es de las mejores, sino la mejor que les escuché en varias decenas de recitales…

Justo para un domingo a la noche…

Black. Cleveland. 20/05/06.-

Black
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all that I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
