"Truman Burbank es un hombre corriente y algo ingenuo que ha vivido toda
su vida en uno de esos pueblos donde nunca pasa nada. Sin embargo, de
repente, unos extraños sucesos le hacen sospechar que algo anormal está
ocurriendo. Todos sus amigos son actores, toda su ciudad es un plató,
toda su vida está siendo filmada y emitida como el reality más ambicioso
de la historia." Película online.
David Bowie, como siempre a su artística y peculiar manera, ya nos avisó con su último álbum Blackstar de lo que iba a suceder, haciendo de la vida, sobre todo de la enfermedad y la muerte, temas centrales de sus últimas canciones. Así, a los 69 años, el pájaro azul (referencia a un poema de Bukowski) como menciona en la letra de esta canción, al fin ha volado libre...
...
There's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
