El otro día fui al cine a ver Sherlock Holmes, pero como esto no es un blog de crítica cinematográfica no voy a opinar sobre la película.
Sólo quiero compartir un par de aciertos a nivel musical que me gustaron especialmente.
Aunque lo que os pongo es un vídeo, es el audio lo que importa, así que podéis darle al play y escucharlo tranquilamente mientras trabajáis en el ordenador o miráis el correo basura.
"The Rocky Road to Dublin", la historia de un muchacho que sale de su pueblo para ir a la gran capital, debe ser una de las canciones más difíciles de cantar de la historia, y os reto a que lo intentéis en casa, todos juntos junto al fuego del hogar y con unas pintas de Guinness a mano.
Es un clásico irlandés, de canto y baile, del siglo XIX. Ellos sí que sabían divertirse.
El tema aparece en la película pero no en el Soundtrack, no sé por qué. Esta es la versión de The Dubliners. Su ya fallecido vocalista, Luke Kelly, podía cantarla sin esfuerzo.
Os recomiendo verlo en vivo.
Autor: The Dubliners.

In the merry month of May, From my home I started,
Left the girls of Tuam, Nearly broken hearted,
Saluted father dear, Kissed my darlin' mother,
Drank a pint of beer, My grief and tears to smother,
Then off to reap the corn, And leave where I was born,
I cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghost and goblin,
In a brand new pair of brogues, I rattled o'er the bogs,
And frightened all the dogs,On the rocky road to Dublin. One, two, three, four five, Hunt the hare and turn her Down the rocky road And all the ways to Dublin, Whack-fol-lol-de-ra.
In Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary,
Started by daylight, Next mornin' light and airy,
Took a drop of the pure, To keep my heart from sinkin',
That's an Irishman's cure, Whene'er he's on for drinking.
To see the lasses smile, Laughing all the while,
At my curious style, 'Twould set your heart a-bubblin'.
They ax'd if I was hired, The wages I required,
Till I was almost tired, Of the rocky road to Dublin.
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity,
To be so soon deprived, A view of that fine city.
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality,
My bundle it was stole, In a neat locality;
Something crossed my mind, Then I looked behind;
No bundle could I find, Upon my stick a wobblin'.
Enquirin' for the rogue, They said my Connacht brogue,
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin.
From there I got away, My spirits never failin'
Landed on the quay As the ship was sailin';
Captain at me roared, Said that no room had he,
When I jumped aboard, A cabin found for Paddy,
Down among the pigs I played some funny rigs,
Danced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin',
When off Holyhead, I wished myself was dead,
Or better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin.
The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed,
Called myself a fool; I could no longer stand it;
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losin',
Poor ould Erin's isle They began abusin',
"Hurrah my soul," sez I, My shillelagh I let fly;
Some Galway boys were by, Saw I was a hobble in,
Then with a loud hurray, They joined in the affray.
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin.

"I never woke up in handcuffs before" sí aparece en la Banda Sonora, ya que es uno de los temas compuestos para la película por Hans Zimmer, y aunque el resto del Soundtrack me gustó bastante, este tema con ese estilo tan "Emir Kusturica" me encantó.
Y al igual que la música de la banda serbia, es recomendable escuchar este tema una y otra vez, hasta que te estalle la cabeza.
Espero que os haya gustado. Saludos.
