Propuestas musicales IIISugar Kane

Sugar Kane es el mejor personaje -uno de los mejores, venga- que interpretó Marilyn Monroe en su vida. Es inocentita vedette de medio pelo que encandilaba a Tony Curtis y a Jack Lemon en "Con faldas y a lo loco".

Pero la Sugar Kane que me viene a mí a la cabeza es la de Sonic Youth. Esta canción aparecía en un recopilatorio de aquellos que se hacían en cintas que contenían iones de hierro imantado y no bits de información. Cuando el grunge (¿?) de los noventa pegaba más fuerte que nunca (¡hasta la ponían en los bares!).

Me gusta su oscuridad, su mundo kafkiano sin posibilidad de salida. Su cadencia en el minuto tres y pico de canción -esas campanas que me traen recuerdos de "Laberinto", la peli interpretada por un malo malísimo David Bowie y Jennifer Connelly-, esa pequeña esperanza de huida de la negritud del alma que desemboca de nuevo en la pesadumbre del principio. No hay escapatoria, Sugar Kane.



(¿qué me dicen de esa jovencísima y rapada Clöe Sevigny que aparece en el video?)

You're perfect in the way
A perfect end today
You're burning out their lights
And burning in their eyes
I love you sugar kane
A comin' from the rain
Oh, kiss me like a frog
And turn me into flame
I love you all the time
I need you 8 to 9
And I can stay all night
Your body shining
And I know
There's something down there
Sugar soul
Back to the cross
A twisted lane
There something down there
Sugar kane

I'm back again in love
I'm back again a dove
But where'd you get your light
Your smilin' sugar life
Another lovers day
Another cracked up night
And every night I say
The light is coming

And I know
There's something down there
Sugar cone
Back to the cross
A twisted lane
There something down there
Sugar kane

Hey angel, come and play
And fly me away
A stroll along the beach
Until you're out of time
I love you sugar kane
A crack into the dream
I love you sugar kane [x5]
I love you sugar

Love Alone

I think you do, then I think you don't
Maybe you will, maybe then you won't
Don't understand baby why you can't
Just call it quit if you can't commit up
Know what I want I know how I feel about
I don't want to love a
I think it's time you made up your mind
Baby what's your plan I need to understand it

You gonna love me or leave me
Don't say that you need me
Not if you really wanna let me go
You don't know how much it hurts me
show me some mercy
Baby just love me or leave me alone

I need a time so I gave you that
To figure out where your heart is at
What do you say

I shouldn't have guessed it
