When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom/It only makes me laugh

2038-01-19T03:14:07Z

Las últimas 48 horas han estado maratónicas,pese a haber habido,teóricamente,puente con motivo del día de la Independencia...pero como ya es habitual en mi caso,mientras el resto de la raza se dedica a holgazanear,eso sólo significa que a mí me toca chambear extra.
Pero ya mañana es viernes,y si me apresuro,muy probablemente podré tomarme la tarde libre...y el sábado,me toca escaparme al FrankenTrash Fest (aunque mi date para la ocasión ya me dejó plantado por anticipado,pero bueh,no será la 1ª ni la última vez que voy solapa a un toquín).

Supongo pues,la ocasión es propicia para que comparta algo de musiquita,así que a'i va:

Oingo Boingo - It Only Makes Me Laugh (5 MB)

Y'know da drill:archivo alojado en Fileden y disponible por 30 días o hasta que se gasten el bandwith —lo que ocurra primero.

Ocicialmente,este track corresponde al 1er disco solista de Danny Elfman —titulado precisamente,So-Lo.En la práctica,toda la tropa de Oingo Boingo estuvo presente haciendo la música.La cosa fue que por a'i tuvieron una bronca con su disquera,así que hicieron la finta de que el Daniel andaba experimentando en plan solista.
Bueh,muy independientemente de que soy fan de Oingo Boingo,esta rola es una de mis favoritas,pues siento es la que más se acerca a describir el optimismo crónico que me cargo.Es decir,no sólo son los juegos corales y las melodías maniáticas del maese Elfman,sino el mensaje narrado en la letra.Ciertamente,a veces me entran estados depresivos más allá de lo maniático...pero rara vez me duran,y luego yo solito me ando carcajeando de la gracia y las ironías alrededor de las situaciones en que caigo (que ya luego vengo y comparto por acó,pero esa es otra historia ).

Como sea,va la letra para que capten a qué me refiero,y por supuesto,para que coréen a gusto también:

I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong
To laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long

Every time I think I'm falling
And there's nobody around to hold me up
And it seems like the world has come to an end
I look for miles but not a face is friendly
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire
I try to jump over but there's no way
The next thing I know, I'm going down

Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I don't feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I don't give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

The last time that I fell in love
The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour
The woman became a monster
And everyone I knew had become a stranger
And the room went black and my luck was spent
The floor opened up, down I went

Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I don't feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I don't give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
Coming right back
Coming right back
'Cause you can't keep me down
Can't keep me down
Oh, in the ground

Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I don't feel a thing
I don't mind just a little pain
Ooh, oh yeah
Whoa...

Remembering when I was a young man
How everything seemed to turn against me
I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place
The sun was covered by a dark cloud
And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape
The only way to go was straight down

Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesn't matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I don't feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I don't give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh

I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong
To laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face

I don't know why I feel this way
I don't know if it's right or wrong
To laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face...
