Ani DiFranco

Bueno... Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas. La canta Ani DiFranco, una chica a la que probablemente no conozcáis, originaria de Buffalo, New York, y que en la foto sale tocando la guitarra. Su música combina el folk con diversas influencias extraídas del blues, jazz, punk, indie rock y alternative. DiFranco hace una música con la que es fácil identificarse. No sé inglés; pero creo entender que esta canción habla sobre una pareja que se está rompiendo... Habla, como bien dice el título sobre que necesitan tiempo y hay algunas frases preciosas como éstas: "Cómo puedo volver a casa sin nada que decir, vuelvo a casa con la cabeza vacía"; "La única persona que me ama realmente eres tú"; "Mis dedos y mi voz están doloridos"; pero su pareja siempre termina culpándole de esa situación. Conocí esta canción gracias a la BSO de una película. Aquí la tenéis:

"You Had Time"

How can I go home

With nothing to say

I know you're going to look at me that way

And say what did you do out there

And what did you decide

You said you needed time

And you had time.

You are a china shop

And I am a bull

You are really good food

And I am full

I guess everything is timing

I guess everything's been said

So I am coming home with an empty head.

You'll say did they love you or what

I'll say they love what I do

The only one who really loves me is you

And you'll say girl did you kick some butt

And I'll say I don't really remember

But my fingers are sore

And my voice is too.

You'll say it's really good to see you

You'll say I missed you horribly

You'll say let me carry that

Give that to me

And you will take the heavy stuff

And you will drive the car

And I'll look out the window making jokes

About the way things are.

How can I go home

With nothing to say

I know you're going to look at me that way

And say what did you do out there

And what did you decide

You said you needed time

And you had time.
