DOWNTOWN

Porque esta canción representa para mí la clave de Lost y todo lostmaníaco no necesita ni las tres primeras notas para reconocerla... y porque aunque lost te la traiga al pairo, la canción te anima, y somos muchos los que necesitamos ánimos estos días.

PETULA CLARK - DOWNTOWN

- ahórrate spoilers escuchándola -




- Porque yo no me hago responsable de los spoilers que este vídeo suponga para ti -



When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
you can always go down town.
When you got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
seems to help,
I know down town.
Just listen to the music
Of the traffic in the city,
linger on the sidewalks
Where the neon signs are pretty.
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares.
So go down town.
Things'll be great
When you're down town.
No finer place for sure-
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you
Down town.
Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you,
there are movie shows down town.
Maybe you know some little places to go
to where they never close down town.
Just listen to the rhythm
Of a gentle bossa nova.
You'll be dancing with 'em too
Before the night is over happy again.
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles,
Forget all your cares.
So go down town.
Where all the lights are bright
Down town.
Waiting for you tonight
Down town.
You're gonna be alright now
Down town.
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely
you can always go down town.
When you got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
seems to help,
I know down town.
And you may find somebody kind-
To help and understand you,
someone who is just like you
And needs a gentle hand
To guide them along.
So maybe I'll see you.
There we can forget all our troubles,
Forget all our cares.
So go down town.
Things'll be great when you're
Down town.
Don't wait a minute more
Down town.
Everything's waiting for you
Down town.

Ozkaritz dijo...

Petula Clark impulsó la Iniciativa Dharma en los 60 (realmente Serge Gainsbourg, pero esa es otra historia).

Esta canción es el himno oficioso de la misma.

Y de todos los opositores, se dice que el Dueño de Zara está intentando meter esta canción en un cd para que lo manden con las actualizaciones; sólo que en esa versión hay un publicidad subliminal:

A la vez que te invitan a ir Downtown, te compelen verbalmente a entrar en las tiendas.

Finalmente, tiene que haber alguna conexión con
Make Your Own Kind of Music de los Mamas and the Papas, porque cuando la escuché en 301 me resonó a Downtown.
