There's nothing wrong with love

O eso creía en 1994 el amigo Doug Martsch, líder de Built To Spill. Ese inocente, crédulo título correspondía al segundo disco del grupo de Idaho. Mi favorito, sin embargo, es "Keep it Like a Secret", obra de mesita de noche, de otoño frío y tristeza perenne. El tercer corte, "Carry the zero", es una de las canciones más hermosas, abrumadoras que he escuchado en mi vida.

Carry the zero

I'm not knocking your want
to carry that home
took it with you 
when you moved and got it broke 
found the pieces 
we counted them all alone 
didn't add up
forgot to carry a zero
I can't be your 
apologist very long 
I'm surprised that 
you'd want to carry that on 
count your blemishes 
you can't
they're all gone 
I can't see your response
Putting them back on 
like they're waiting for your guard to fall 
so they can see it all and you're so
occupied with what other persons are 
occupied with 
and vice versa 
and you've become 
what you thought was dumb
a fraction of the sum 
yeah, you've become
yeah, you have become 
a fraction of the sum 
the middle and the front 
and now it's coming back 
hasn't it come too far? 
I was trying to help but I guess
I pushed too hard
now we can't even touch it
afraid it'll fall apart
