Nuevamente aparezco con una rareza, rareza por el autor, Sting, que muy gótico no es que digamos y rareza por el tema, los vampiros y más concretamente el libro "entrevista con el vampiro" de
Anne Rice.La primera vez que tuve conocimiento de este libro fué precisamente a través de la canción de Sting que hoy podéis escuchar aquí, este tema es de su primer disco en solitario tras la disolución de
The Police y titulado "The Dream of the Blue Turtles". En mi modesta opinión la letra de esta canción es de una altísima calidad, la música es buena pero la letra....
Bueno, sin más preámbulos aquí os dejo música y letra:
Sting-"Moon Over Bourbon Street"Theres a moon over bourbon street tonight
I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight
Ive no choice but to follow that call
The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all
I pray everyday to be strong
For I know what I do must be wrong
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While theres a moon over bourbon street
It was many years ago that I became what I am
I was trapped in this life like an innocent lamb
Now I can only show my face at noon
And youll only see me walking by the light of the moon
The brim of my hat hides the eye of a beast
Ive the face of a sinner but the hands of a priest
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While theres a moon over bourbon street
She walks everyday through the streets of new orleans
Shes innocent and young from a family of means
I have stood many times outside her window at night
To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light
How could I be this way when I pray to God above
I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love
Oh youll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet
While theres a moon over bourbon street
