La música del azar: "Your Ghost", Kristin Hersh & Michael Stipe.

Este dueto entre Kristin Hersh y Michael Stipe era el primer tema del disco de debut de la ex Throwing Muses. Su título es Hips & Makers y se publicó en 1994.

Una canción que partiendo de una estructura musical simple consigue atraparnos en su envolvente magia. Un chelo, cortesía de Jane Scarpantoni, en el estribillo, y una guitarra acústica que con tres acordes va dibujando círculos a nuestro alrededor, como un mantra. Una canción emocionante, que encoge el alma, con la voz de Kristin Hersh balanceándose sobre la sobria melodía y las entradas de Michael Stipe en el estribillo transportándonos a otros mundos, otros lugares, si cabe más extraños.







If i walk down this hallway
tonight, it's too quiet
so I pad through the dark
and call you on the phone
push your old numbers
and let your house ring
till I wake your ghost

Let him walk down your hallway
it's not that quiet
slide down your receiver
sprint across the wire
follow my number
slide into my hand

Its the blaze across my nightgown
it's the phone's ring

I think last night
you were driving circles around me

I can't drink this coffee
till I put you in my closet
let him shoot me down
let him call me off

I take it from his whisper
your not that tough

It's the blaze across my nightgown
it's the phone's ring

I think last night (you were in my dreams)
you were driving circles around me
