Y ya estamos acercándonos a fines de este mes de julio y nos vamos por la sexta entrega musical de este año 1991, hace ya 20 años, cuaando el que escribe contaba con 28 años de edad. Y en esta oportunidad tendremos dos canciones de tuvieron un enorme éxito en 1991 y que pertenecen a una de las bandas más importantes y vigentes en la actualidad. Me estoy refiriendo a la banda U2.


Oh, baby child...
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
Over love... we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Oh, yeah!
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
Over love... we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Love...we shine like a
Burning star
We're falling from the sky
Tonight
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Oh, yeah!
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploded 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange

Escrita por U2, fue el segundo single del "ACHTUNG BABY", y fue lanzado el 25 de Noviembre de 1991. Fue Nº 13 en UK y Nº 9 en USA, según Billboard, y además fue Nº 1 en Irlanda, en el US Billboard Album Rock Tracks y en el US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks, Nº 3 en Australia y Nueva Zelanda, Nº 13 en Holanda y Suiza, Nº 19 en Francia y Nº 46 en Alemania. El tema comenzó como una improvisación, con la banda gustándole solo la parte del bajo que Adam Clayton había compuesto. El grupo luchó para construir una canción desde allí, con Bono y el productor Daniel Lanois discutiendo intensamente durante una sesión de composición. Y se avanzó bastante luego que The Edge introdujo nuevos efectos de pedal a su forma de tocar la guitarra en la canción. Y la canción muestra un ritmo algo suavemente bailable, con un sabor algo funky en la guitarra y algo tipo conga en la percusión, con letras que hablaban sobre romance y mujeres. El video del tema fue filmado en Marruecos y dirigido por Stéphane Sednaoui. Y hoy, luego de 20 años, la volvemos a evocar en el presente post.
Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love
She's slipping
You’re sliding down
She'll be there
When you
hit the ground
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh
Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
On your knees boy
She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
Yeah
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Love
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
lift my days, light up my nights
Love
One day you will look... back
And you'll see... where
You were held... how
By this love... while
You could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh
Oh love
Oh love, lover
Move you
The spirit moves in mysterious ways
Baby love me
Move
Baby love me
Move you
Baby love me
Move with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand...
Love
She's slipping
You’re sliding down
She'll be there
When you
hit the ground
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh
Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel
On your knees boy
She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child
Yeah
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Love
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
lift my days, light up my nights
Love
One day you will look... back
And you'll see... where
You were held... how
By this love... while

You could move on this moment
Follow this feeling
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
She moves in mysterious ways
O-o-oh
Oh love
Oh love, lover
Move you
The spirit moves in mysterious ways
Baby love me
Move
Baby love me
Move you
Baby love me
Move with it
She moves with it
Lift my days, light up my nights
Esta ha sido la sexta entrega musical de 1991. Espero que estos dos buenos temas de U2 hayan sido de su agrado. Y algo más, no me he olvidado del extraordinario tema "One" que figura en el album "ACHTUNG BABY", pero como fue el tercer single de dicho album, fue lanzado en 1992 y por ende, será programado de todas maneras en este segmento en el 2012. Los invito a disfrutar de este par de canciones y a dejarme sus comentarios. Hasta el mes de Agosto en que tendremos a dos bandas norteamericanas que tuvieron mucho éxito en 1991. Los espero.
