Reseña

"In the Blue Light" es el título del decimocuarto álbum de estudio del cantante y compositor Paul Simon. Lanzado el 7 de septiembre de 2018 bajo el sello Legacy Recordings, contó con la producción del propio Paul Simon, junto al estadounidense Roy Halee, productor habitual del intérprete y con quien ya trabajó en los tiempos del dúo Simon and Garfunkel.

"In the Blue Light" es una colección inconexa de canciones, la mayoría de ellas poco conocidas y que han sido remasterizadas modificando algunos arreglos originales y letras.

Para las grabaciones, Paul Simon contó con prestigiosos músicos invitados, como el guitarrista Bill Frisell o Wynton Marsalis, uno de los trompetistas de jazz de vanguardia y abanderado del neoclasicismo. También participó en las grabaciones el sexteto de cámara neoyorquino yMusic. En la batería, Simon ha contado con los músicos Jack DeJohnette y Steve Gadd.

Las sesiones de grabación concluyeron con un amplio catálogo de temas, pero finalmente se realizó una selección para incluir solamente diez temas.

La selección incluye temas de los setenta, como "One man’s ceiling is another man's floor" y "Some folks' lives roll easy", de los ochenta ("How the heart approaches what it yearns", "René and Georgette Magritte with their dog after the war") y el resto se reparte en canciones de diferentes épocas hasta la actualidad.

letra de Love
Cool me

Cool my fever high

Hold me when I cry

I need it so much

Makes you want to get down crawl like a beggar

For its touch

And all the while it's free as air

Like plants the medicine is everywhere

Love

Love

Love

We crave it so badly

Makes you want to laugh out loud when you receive it

And gobble it like a candy

We think it's easy

Sometimes it's easy

But it's not easy

You're going to break down and cry

We're not important

We should be grateful

And if you're wondering why

Love

Love

Love

The price that we pay

When evil walks the planet

And love is crushed like clay

The master races, the chosen people

The burning temple, the weeping cathedrals

letra de How the Heart Approaches What It Yearns
In the blue light

Of the belvedere Motel

Wondering as the television burns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

In a fever

I distinctly hear your voice

Emerging from a dream, the dream returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

After the rain on the Interstate

The headlights slide past the moon

A bone-weary traveler

Waits by the side of the road

Where's he goin?

I dream we are lying on the top of a hill

And headlights slide past the moon

I fold in your arms

And your voice is the heat of the night

I'm on fire

In a phone booth

In some local bar and grill

Rehearsing waht I'll say, my coin returns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

How the heart approaches what it yearns

letra de Pigs, Sheep and Wolves
Big and fat

Pig's supposed to look like that

Barnyard thug

Sleep on straw and calls it a rug

Yeah that's a rug, ok

He's walking down the street

And nobody's going to argue with him

He's a half-a-ton of pig meat

Up in the hills above the farm

Lives a pack of wolves

Never did no harm

Sleep all day

Hunt till four

Maybe catch a couple of rodents

You know carnivore

Sheep in the meadow

Nibbling on some clover

One of the sheep wanders over

Sits by a rock

Separated from the flock

He's just sitting by a rock

Where'd he go?

I don't know

Well he was here a minute ago

I don't know

Sheep's dead

Got a gash as big as a wolf's head

Oh God

Big and fat

Pig's supposed to look like that

Wallowing in lanolin

He's rubbing it into his pigskin

Police going crazy

Let's get him

Let's get that wolf

Let's get him

Let's get that wolf

Let's get him

Let's kill him, Let's get him

Let's kill him

Court-appointed lawyer wasn't very bright

Or maybe he was bright

Maybe he just had a late night

Yeah it was just a late night

And he files some feeble appeal

And the governor says forget it

It's a done deal

Election, I don't care, election

Let's give that wolf a lethal injection

Let's get him, yeah get him

Let's kill him, Let's get him

Let's kill him, Let's get him,kill him

Let's get him and kill him

Whew, slow

Here comes the media

Setting up their camera

Asking everyone's opinion

About pigs, sheep and wolves

Big and fat

Pig's supposed to laugh like that

This is hilarious

What a great time

I'm the pig who committed

The perfect crime

All around the world

France, Scandinavia

There's candle light vigils

Protesting this behavior

It's animal behavior

Animal behavior

It's Pig, sheep and wolves

Pig, sheep and wolves

Pig, sheep and wolves

It's animal behavior

Pig, sheep and wolves

letra de René and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War
Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Returned to their hotelsuite

And they unlocked the door

Easily losing their evening clothes

They dance by the light of the moon

To The Penguins

The Moonglows

The Orioles

and The Five Satins

The deep forbidden music

They'd been longing for

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Were strolling down Christopher Street

When they stopped in a men's store

With all of the mannequins

Dressed in the style

That brought tears to their

Immigrant eyes

Just like The Penguins

The Moonglows

The Orioles

and The Five Satins

The easy stream of laughter

Flowing through the air

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog apres la guerre

Side by side

They fell asleep

Decades gliding by like Indians

Time is cheap

When they wake up they will find

All their personal belongings

Have intertwined

Rene and Georgette Magritte

With their dog after the war

Were dining with the power elite

And they looked in their bedroom drawer

And what do you think

They have hidden away

In the cabinet cold of their hearts?

The Penguins

The Moonglows

The Orioles

and The Five Satins

For now and ever after

As it was before

Rene and Georgette Magritte With their dog

After the war
The TeacherVer letra 3:45

letra de The Teacher
There once was a teacher of great renown

Whose words were like the tablets of stone

Because it's easier to learn than unlearn

Because we've passed the point of no return

Gather your goods and follow me

Or you will surely die

I was only a child of the city

My parents were children of immigrant stock

So we followed as followers go

Over a mountain with a napkin of snow

And ate the berries and roots

That grown along the timberline

Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love

Sleep on a quilt of stars

It's cold

Sometimes you can't catch your breath

It's so cold

Time and abundance thickened his step

So the teacher divided in two

One half ate the forest and fields

The other half sucked all the moisture from the clouds

And we, we were amazed at the power of his appetite

Deeper and deeper the dreamer of love

Sleeps on a quilt of stars

Sometimes we don't know who we are

Sometimes force overpowers us and we cry

My teacher carry me home

Carry me home my teacher

Carry me home

Carry me home my teacher

Carry me home

letra de Darling Lorraine
The first time I saw her

I couldn't be sure

But the sin of impatience

Said "She's just what you're looking for"

So I walked right up to her

And with the part of me that talks

I introduced myself as Frank

From New York

New York

She's so hot

She's so cool

I'm not

I'm just a fool in love with Darling Lorraine

All my life I've been a wanderer

Not really, I mostly lived near my parents home

Anyway Lorraine and I got married

Ant the usual marriage stuff

Then one day she says to me

From out of the blue

She says, "Frank, I've had enough

Romance is a heartbreaker

I'm not meant to be a homemaker

And I'm tired of being Darling Loraine"

What!? you don't love me anymore?

What!? you're walking out the door?

What!? you don't like the way I chew?

Hey, let me tell you

You're not the woman that I wed

You say you're depressed but you're not

You just like to stay in bed

I don't need you darling Lorraine

Darling Lorraine

Lorraine

I long for your love

Financially speaking

I guess I'm a washout

Everybody's buy and sell

And sell and buy

That's what the whole thing's all about

If it had not been Lorraine

I'd have left her long ago

I should have been a musician

I love the piano

She's so light

She's so free

I'm tight, well, that's me

But I feel so good

With Darling Lorraine

On Christmas morning Frank awakes

To find Loraine has made a stack of pancakes

They watch the television, husband and wife

All afternoon "It's a wonderful life"

What!? you don't love me anymore?

What!? you're walking out the door?

What!? you don't like the way I chew?

Hey let me tell you

You're not the woman that I wed

Gimme my robe I'm going back to bed

I'm sick to death of you Lorraine

Darling Lorraine

Lorraine

Her hands like wood

The doctor was smiling

But the news wasn't good

Darling Lorraine

Please don't leave me yet

I know you're in pain

Pain you can't forget

Your breathing is like an echo of our love

Maybe I'll go down to the corner store

And buy us something sweet

Here's an extra blanket honey

To wrap around your feet

All the trees were washed with april rain

And the moon in the meadow

Took Darling Lorraine

letra de Questions for the Angels
A pilgrim on a pilgrimmage

Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge

His sneakers torn

In the hour when the homeless move their cardboard blankets

And the new day is born

Folded in his backpack pocket

The questions that he copied from his heart

Who Am I in this lonely world?

Where will I make my bed tonight?

When twilight turns to dark

Questions for the angels...

Who believes in angels?

Fools do...

Fools and pilgrims all over the world

If you shop for Love in a bargain store

And you don't get what you are bargain for...

Can you get your money back?

If an empty train in a railway station

Calls you to its destination

Can you choose another track?

Will I wake up from these violent dreams?

With my hair as white as the morning moon?

Questions for the angels...

Who believes in angels?

I do...

Fools and pilgrims all over the world

Downtown Brooklyn

The pilgrim is passing a bill-board

And catches his eyes

It's Jay-Z

He's got a kid on each knee

He is wearing clothes that he wants us to try

If every human on the planet

And all the buildings in it

Should disappear

Would a zebra grazing in the african savana

Care enough to share one zebra tear?

Questions for the angels...
