Dan Tracey es un genio. Y como parece que esta mas fuera que dentro de este mundo, creo oportuno dedicarle un hilo. Para celebrar su existencia y para descubrirlo a quienes lo desconozcan.
Las cancionazas que tiene este señor (bien acompañado en sus mejores etapas por Ed Ball y Jowe Head) son muchisimas, por lo que cada cual tendra sus preferidas. Pero lo que es innegable es su talento para el pop mayusculo, ese pop aparentemente sencillo que te hace tararear una melodia hasta el fin de tus dias y te acompaña en los dias jodidos, sabiendo que hay alguien que supo plasmar por escrito como te sientes.
Es la epica del fracaso, el pop que viene del fanismo (sus referencias a peliculas, artistas plasticos (Lichtenstein a la cabeza), moda paisley y mod,The Creation, Syd Barret, The Who, Lou Reed y 13th Floor Elevators son constantes), el intentarlo sabiendo de antemano que la vas a cagar. No se, creo que es la actitud, sobre todo ateniendonos a su biografia, como dio sin casi quererlo alas a una nueva corriente del indie (Pastels, Creation Records, Comet Gain y grupos al amparo de su sello Whaaaam Records) y lo oscuro de sus ultimos años (drogadiccion, indigencia, prision, enemistad con su familia, conciertos caoticos de puro ebrio), pero sobre todo porque nunca ha parado quieto, el tio.
Abro con mi debilidad:
TV PERSONALITIES - the girl who had everything (No perderse la version de Espanto, que es canela)
She's had lovers
She's had diamond rings
She's been driven in French sportscars
She's been everywhere there is to be seen
And they call her
The girl who had everything
Her daddy bought her a pony
And daddy was so proud
When she won the school gymkhana
She jumped two clear rounds
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She's got her own black mini
A white fur coat from Black Glamour
What becomes a legend most
She's the perfect host
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She's been to wonderful parties
Starred in underground films
She started taking drugs but just for fun
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She only has to sign her name for anything she sees
In all the top shops
And they call her
The girl who had everything
You often see her backstage
Drinking champagne, tea at Ritz
And a birthday party at Ritz
And they call her
The girl who had everything
She had everything she wanted
Everything but not enough
She never had love
And she threw it away
In a drug filled haze
One sad day
And they called her
The girl who had everything
La evolucion de la letra es brillante, permitiendose el amago de ir a cuestionar a la muchacha por la dronja para meter un giro donde dice que tuvo todo menos amor (otra constante de sus letras). Me rompo siempre con la puta cancion.
Dan, un forero, un grande, un cadaver a las 3.
