Viendo a Neil -norirlandés del 70, hijo de un ministro de Dios, datos no baladíes- tocar la guitarra y cantar con su sombrero o sin él, solo, quién no querría ser cantautor, o como se diga. Artísticamente, tras poeta, si pudiera elegir, no tendría duda.
El video oficial, por cierto, de traca. De sus planteamientos estéticos a los de La casa azul hay un paso. No hay que investigar nada para saber quién precede a quién. Y de sus interpretaciones en directo, las de Milán y Greenwich, pese a ser las grabaciones más domésticas, no tienen desperdicio: la conciencia de presencia escénica deviene humor.
Como siempre en la pérfida Albión y aledaños, a años luz.
Give me your love
And I'll give you the perfect lovesong
With a divine Beatles bassline
And a big old Beach Boys sound
I'll match you pound for pound
Like heavy-weights in the final round
We'll hold on to each other
So we don't fall down
Give me a wink
And I'll give you what I think you're after
With just one kiss I will whisk you away
To where angels often tread
We'll paint this planet red
We'll stumble back to our hotel bed
And make love to each other
'Til we're half dead
Maybe now you can see
Just what you mean to me
Give me your love
And I'll give you the perfect lovesong
Give me your word
That you'll be true to me always come what may
Forever and a day
No matter what other people may say
We'll hold on to each other
'Til we're old and grey
And I'll give you the perfect lovesong
With a divine Beatles bassline
And a big old Beach Boys sound
I'll match you pound for pound
Like heavy-weights in the final round
We'll hold on to each other
So we don't fall down
Give me a wink
And I'll give you what I think you're after
With just one kiss I will whisk you away
To where angels often tread
We'll paint this planet red
We'll stumble back to our hotel bed
And make love to each other
'Til we're half dead
Maybe now you can see
Just what you mean to me
Give me your love
And I'll give you the perfect lovesong
Give me your word
That you'll be true to me always come what may
Forever and a day
No matter what other people may say
We'll hold on to each other
'Til we're old and grey
