What are you listening to?

Anybody remember Sting? Rick Beato has very interesting interviews with various musical artists and he has a recent one with Sting and a guitarist Dominic Miller who collaborates with Sting on new albums. I found the whole interview interesting but I will start the video with an old song ("Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic") and finish with a new upcoming song by Sting:

"Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)"

Transient jet lag ecto mimed bison
This is the haunt of roulette dares
Ruse of metacarpi
Caveat emptor....to all that enter here
Open wrists talk back again
In the wounded of its skin
They'll pinprick the witness
In ritual contrition
The am trinity fell upon asphyxia-derailed
In the rattles of...
Made its way through the tracks
Of a snail slouching whisper
A half mass comute through umbilical blisters
Spector will lurk
Radar has gathered
Midnight nooses from boxcar cadavers
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
It's because this is
Cranial bleeding
Leaches train the living
Cursed are they who speak its name
Ruse of metacarpi
Caveat emptor to all that enter here
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
It's because this is
Ratteling the laughter
Hinges splintering inside
Bludgeoned to a saddle
Rang the cloister bell inside
inside
inside
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
Exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed
it's because this is

Just can not say I felt more balanced. They have talent sure but meaning? What are they really saying? I have enough "cranial bleeding" already. Kind of "word salad" lyrics to me. Are you OK?
 
"Ombra mai fu" - the opening aria from "Serse" by George Frideric Handel. I have performed it several times at concerts outside the context of the opera. I generally prefer mezzo-soprano performances of this aria.

 
On this occasion, I chose this theme, which is entitled: "Casiopea". It is by a Cuban musician. His name is Silvio Rodriguez. The date of creation of this song calls my attention. It is from 1994. Curious, isn't it?

I feel very sorry for what he says, because he refers to the fact that no one answers his call and he wonders: Could it be that I have become homeless?

I share the lyrics of the poem and the song below for those who don't understand Spanish. But, the music is exquisite! Very enjoyable! In this song, Silvio is accompanied by Mario Benedetti. He is a Uruguayan writer who "recites a beautiful poem: Estados de ánimo".

Like a drop I was from the tide the beach made me grain from the sand
I was a dot in a crowd wherever I went
no one detected me and so I learned

When I thought the task was done, I turned my heart to Cassiopeia.

I zealously fulfilled our plan: for a million years wait
Today I've been giving coordinates twice as long but no one answers my call.
What could have happened to my signal?
Could it be that I've become homeless?

Today I barely survive my fate far away from my star from my people
The trance has shown me another lesson
the world of one's own is always the best

I am slowly weakening
Perhaps I will no longer be me when they find me find me

Composers: Silvio Rodriguez Dominguez

States of mind

by Mario Bendetti

Sometimes I feel
like a poor hill
and others like a mountain
of repeated summits.

Sometimes I feel
like a cliff
and at other times like a sky
blue but far away.

Sometimes one is
spring between rocks
and at other times a tree
with the last leaves.

But today I feel barely
like a sleepless lagoon
with a wharf
no longer without boats

a green lagoon
motionless and patient
content with its algae
its mosses and fishes

serene in my confidence
trusting that one evening
you will come closer and look at you,
look at you as you look at me.
