REVIEW: Buffy Last Vampire Slayer #4 (of 4)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer has always been one of those series that you hear about everywhere in geek culture. It was created by Joss Whedon, and it’s so deeply ingrained in geek lore that I’m sure The Big Bang Theory has made a few jokes about it. I’ve never been much of a fan. I appreciate what it’s about, and I like how it has magical elements but even after reading a few issues of the original…

[useless-catalanfacts]

Founded in the year 1524 and still open nowadays, this is the Pinós Inn (Hostal de Pinós in Catalan), the oldest restaurant in Catalonia that has been serving without interruption until our days.

The inn was founded to serve the pilgrims who came to the Sanctuary of Saint Mary of the Pinós, first built by the Templar Knights in the year 1312 and soon transferred to the Knights Hospitaller. According to the legend, in 1505 a man stopped to pray in this location to ask the Virgin Mary for help with the plague, and the Virgin Mary appeared to him. For this reason, the new church was built some years after and, right next to this church, the inn that could offer shelter and food to the pilgrims and travellers.

At first, the Pinós inn only served pilgrims, ill, and homeless people, but in 1677 they opened it to everyone. It continued being an inn (place where you can sleep and eat) until the 1970s, and since then it's all dedicated to being a restaurant. They still serve traditional Catalan food, with many dishes that continue being almost the same as all these centuries ago.

The Solsona Diocesan Archive still preserves the document that testifies the inn's opening in the 5th of July 1524. In it, the Lady of Pinós, Elisabet de Josa, gives permission to open the inn to the priest Narcís Garriga and the innkeeper Joan Bertrans.

Contraespionaje - Love of Lesbian

Love of Lesbian un grupo indie rock y pop de España con sus inicios en 1997 y  conformado por Santi Balmes (voz, guitarra y teclados), Jordi Roig (guitarra), Joan Ramon Planell (bajo y sintetizador) y Oriol Bonet (batería y programación). Más tarde se incorporaría a la banda Julián Saldarriaga (guitarra, secuenciadores y coros) con una discografía prolongada siendo su primer álbum “Microscopic Movies (1999)” hasta su ultimo trabajo titulado “El Gran Truco Final (2018)” que es en resumidas palabras un viaje por sus grandes éxitos.

Descubrí  esta maravillosa banda cuando tenia 13 años un abril en una de las  incontables tardes después del colegio navegando por el impredecible mundo de internet, recuerdo la primera canción y también pasar horas y horas escuchando los sonidos, saltando sola en mi habitación, cantando frente al espejo, y desencadenando una que otra lagrima, desde ese momento se convirtió en una de mis bandas favoritas hasta el día de hoy, guardo mucho aprecio, admiración y respeto por sus obras primeramente porque fueron una luz en medio de la oscuridad y me hicieron entender y sumergirme en la música desde otra vertiente. 

En Marzo de 2016 lanzaron “ El poeta Halley” una joya de álbum con 13 canciones y una duración  de 1 hora 11 minutos pero fueron  los minutos mejor invertidos en mi existencia. “Contraespionaje” es la decima canción, de la cual estaré redactando mi análisis e interpretación en esta entrada, no sin antes decir que todo es desde mi punto de vista. 

Una pieza musical que sin darle dos mil vueltas y escuchando detenidamente la letra nos lleva a entender que habla sobre la vida y la muerte, con varias metáforas porque claramente es lo más característico de Love of Lesbian.

 Después de una introducción mágica con guitarra y batería muy marcada y piano y bajo acompañando Santi Balmes comienza a contarnos:

De repente, viene agosto y ves que hay agua en el asfalto Lo sé, no es real El minutero, en estos días es Como el vecino al que no puedes ver Un gris funcionario

En esta canción hay dos meses protagonistas Agosto y Septiembre, cada uno con su respectivo significado a interpretación libre, creo yo que agosto esta representando a una etapa de la vida, esa en donde comenzamos a ver todo de manera más rápida como un sueño muy lucido por eso afirma que hay agua en el asfalto pero que no es real, es un espejismo, llevándonos a que el paso del tiempo nos aterrorice y no queramos ver el minutero porque se convierte en un enemigo, como alguien que queremos evitar a toda costa porque verlo significa poner gris sobre nuestro paisaje, también puede aludir a que el tiempo es como el vecino que no podemos ver porque trabaja de sol a sol y su rutina es monótona y fugaz. 

(También te veo a ti y son) Días idóneos para practicar el contraespionaje Por tu ciudad Barcelona se disfrazará de poblado de modernidad Los nativos intentaremos ser más amables

Comenzar con el contraespionaje lo que traduce a  la actividad de evitar que el enemigo obtenga información secreta, tales como la clasificación y el control cuidadoso de información sensible para crear desinformación, por tu ciudad tal como lo menciona el verso es emprender una misión secreta de autocuidado en un mundo sobrepoblado y perdido entre las tendencias, en  una Barcelona o sociedad entera disfrazada de modernidad donde los nativos intentamos ser amables aunque en nuestro interior rechazamos ese paradigma de actualidad, debido a que nos sentimos como animales extraños en una época en la que no logramos o no queremos encajar. 

Prosigue cantando:

Y a una distancia prudencial, oigo una voz que es familiar Dice: "ven a verme" Cuando al fin llego, ya no está, me deja escrito en un portal: "Soy la vida, imbécil"   

¿Nunca haz sentido que te pierdes en la usanza? ¿Qué atraviesas días, meses e incluso años dándole vueltas a una sola idea?, nos distraemos yendo a un bar los viernes, trabajando ocho horas diariamente, durmiendo los fines de semana y al final del día sintiéndonos como inertes dentro de un cuerpo del cual parece hemos perdido el control? hasta que la vida nos grita que vayamos a verla, que somos unos idiotas auto engañándonos y fingiendo  sentirnos satisfechos, la vida siempre estará diciéndonos: “ Soy la vida, imbécil” ven y víveme antes de que llegue septiembre. Lo que nos lleva al alucinante coro gritando: 

Septiembre vendrá a buscarme Y aún no sé la lección Sobre saber comportarse Al nacer y en el adiós

Tal vez estos versos no necesiten una definición porque siento que están bastante explícitos, pero como lo mencione al comienzo en el verso 1 Agosto y septiembre son protagonistas claves, septiembre  deduzco que estaría representando la muerte por esa razón dice que vendrá a buscarnos pero aun no estamos preparados porque no hemos aprendido la lección mas importante de todas : Vivir, acentuando el no saber comportarse al nacer y en el adiós dejando claro que en el tramo de comenzar a existir y dejar de hacerlo, hay muchas cosas que no comprendemos desde nuestra mente humana de modo que nos perdemos en banalidades y vivir realmente pasa a un segundo plano. 

Cuando sientes que la canción no te puede calar mas los huesos, después de unos segundos el silencio instrumental le da la bienvenida al segundo verso: 

Vi decadencia entre la multitud Y a gente super lánguida llevar su cruz Y al sátiro del Quinto C Diciendo que la gente es Tan impenetrable

El narrador del tema nos cuenta a los oyentes que ve a una multitud o humanidad cansada, sin fuerza como perdiendo los valores que los constituyen, igualmente describe que hay gente super lánguida( sin vigor) llevando su cruz, su ataúd aunque no especifica una edad podemos suponer que habla de adultos mayores ya que son la población más cercana  a decir adiós a este plano terrenal, por ultimo dice que en el quinto C hay un sátiro una especie de hombre  que tiene un exacerbado deseo sexual pero que ya no se sacia con ninguna persona porque las ve impenetrables, uno de los versos más sensatos mostrándonos así una realidad con seres vacíos, superficiales, errantes y fatigados, muy parecido a lo que vemos a diario no?. 

Tenía ideas para huir de aquí, maniobras de escapismo ¡Qué ingenuidad! Soñaba con poder lograr vivir del cuento a una buena edad Sin que asomara ni una cana de impaciencia

El maniobras de escapismo es un quiño a su primer álbum en español, pero viendo el contexto de la canción creo que puede estar más relacionado con el tema titulado de igual forma “Maniobras de escapismo” que relata un plan para huir de un lugar en donde están siendo manipulados. Debido a que el cantautor se siente caminando en un mundo habitado por seres desiertos el no quiere ser igual por esa razón tiene ideas para huir de aquí, de la realidad o de lo sistemáticamente impuesto, pero acompaña la frase diciendo  ¡Qué ingenuidad! como recordando que en anteriores tiempo fue un idiota creyendo que su plan funcionaria, que viviría del cuento a una buena edad, algo que pensamos todos de jóvenes cuando imaginamos un mundo utópico en donde nos dedicaremos a hacer  lo que nos gusta ( el arte por ejemplo), tendremos un carro, una casa, una familia hermosa y muchos animalitos, así tan sencillo sin que se asome ni una cana de impaciencia en el proceso. 

Ya casi llegando al final de esta maravillosa obra nos encontramos con el puente de la canción, la parte más eufórica de todas 

No me resigno a contemplar el mundo desde un cine a cielo abierto De argumento muy corriente Aparqué mi voluntad y frente a mí, dos hombres la robaron Fue una noche haciendo un puente

Aquí analizo e interpreto que la vida de tantos llamados “ soy la vida imbécil” condujo al personaje principal a por fin acercarse a ella y vivirla, tal vez por eso afirma que no quiere ver el mundo desde el cine con un argumento corriente, si no que al contrario quiere palparla con sus manos y percibirla de una manera sensorial  aun cuando la misma vida en el pre coro le advirtió diciéndole que no se acercara. Creo que rompió las reglas y se atrevió a existir realmente por eso aparco su voluntad ( libertad de decidir lo que se quiere y lo que no) , pero dos hombre la robaron una noche ejecutando un atraco, lo que desencadena un final inesperado y lúgubre, lo percibo como la perdida de la vida misma, pues la vida la vivimos cuando estamos muriendo. Finaliza diciendo

Sí, era real Era la vida, imbécil

Lo que refuerza más mi teoría de que nuestro personaje perdió la vida y cuando se percibió así mismo ya era demasiado tarde, había desaprovechado lo mas importante y hasta ese momento se dio cuenta, como el refrán cliché de nunca sabemos lo que tenemos hasta que lo perdemos, pues cuando quiso vivir septiembre vino por el. 

Conclusiones 

Además de la letra, la música aunque no se distinguen sonidos tan experimentales si cabe resaltar que acompaña de manera muy compatible a  la canción, la batería llevando el compas y las cuerdas sutiles como el bajo y la guitarra acústica dando esos toques melancólicos, con un piano tocando notas no tan complejas que podemos sentir más en el coro y en los silencios de Santi Balmes en definitiva llegan a ser un placer auditivo.

Si entramos a detallar la ilustración que Sergio Mora realizo para el tema  podemos ver al personaje del álbum con un rostro cadavérico dentro de un ataúd que usa como canoa donde lo vemos remando en un mar tranquilamente, mientras que de fondo se observa una ciudad destruida y en llamas debajo de un cielo con nubes negras representando un escenario tétrico, resumiendo así en una imagen el tema central de la canción “contraespionaje”.

Por ultimo expresare que dentro de  todas las canciones de Love of Lesbian no hay una que personalmente no me guste y me motive a escucharla una y otra vez hasta entenderla y apreciarla de cerca, abrazarla y guardarla en mi subconsciente.
