BOB DYLAN - BLOOD ON THE TRACKS (1975)

Album grabado en 1975 por el maestro Dylan luego de su divorcio. Un disco que lleva sangre en los temas, mostrándonos un Dylan con el corazón roto que narra historias de desamor, sí esas que todos hemos vivido. La parte musical es un logro total, un disco con un sonido acústico acompañado de diversos arreglos con instrumentos eléctricos y mucha influencia de folk, blues y country.

Tangled Up In Blue nos relata una historia de amor que fracasa frente a las dificultades, un amor que se muere poco a poco.

She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin' away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.

Simple Twist Of Fate es pura nostalgia, es el lamento de uno de los amantes tratando de comprender por qué se murió el amor. El último verso es realmente hermoso:

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

You're a big girl now, una de mis favoritas, es la segunda parte de Simple Twist Of Fate. Aqui el amante se da cuenta que ella ha crecido, ha madurado y lo mas doloroso... lo ha olvidado.

Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,
See what you can do.
I can make it through,
You can make it too.


Idiot Wind es la expresión de la rabia de Dylan hacia su esposa. Sin embargo, al final termina por asumir parte de la culpa de aquel "viento idiota" que los arrastra y los separa.

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves,
We're idiots, babe.
It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.


You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go.... profunda resignación.

Situations have ended sad,
Relationships have all been bad.
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud.
But there's no way I can compare
All those scenes to this affair,
Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.


Meet Me in the Morning es un blues donde Dylan expresa un dolor incosolable. Basta leer el último versa de la canción para comprender lo que sentía.

They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
But you wouldn't know it by me
Every day's been darkness since you been gone.


If You See Her, Say Hello.... muchas veces no logramos olvidar un viejo amor.

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past
I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast
If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.


En Shelter From The Storm, Dylan comprende que a pesar de todos los conflictos de la separación tiene una enorme deuda de gratitud con esa mujer que en algún momento lo abrigo de la tormenta interna que vivía.

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."


Buckets Of Rain:

Like your smile
And your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips.
I like the cool way you look at me,
Everything about you is bringing me
Misery.
