Un Background, Una Canción, Una Verdad

La cadena fue así: Un buen día Palo me prestó un cassette de King Crimson y ahí conocí a Adrian Belew el violero. Años más tarde, Henry Rollins tuvo un show en TV. Invitó a Ben Folds. Luego escuché a Ben Folds en un tema de fondo en Scrubs. Luego me entero de un tema que hicieron Henry Rollins, Andrew Belew con arreglos de Ben Folds para el disco de William Shatner. Averiguo que es el actor que hacía de Capitán Kirk en Star Wars. Y que grabó un disco.
Claro, sin poses, sin nada. Un disco porque se copa. Debe tener 400 años. Y Ben Folds compuso con él y le hizo los arreglos. No, no es un disco meloso.
Atajate esta letra, y escuchala más abajo.

"You'll Have Time"

Live life
Live life like you're gonna die,
Because you're gonna.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But you're gonna die

Maybe not today or even next year
But before you know it you'll be saying
"Is this all there was?
What was all the fuss?
Why did I bother?"

Now, maybe you won't suffer maybe it's quick
But you'll have time to think
Why did I waste it?
Why didn't I taste it?
You'll have time
Because you're gonna die.

Yes it's gonna happen because it's happened to a lot of people I know
My mother, my father, my loves
The president, the kings and the pope
They all had hope

And they muttered just before they went
Maybe, I won't let go
Live life like you're gonna die
Because you are

I tell you who else left us
Passed on down to heaven no longer with us
Johnny Cash, JFK, that guy in the Stones
Lou Gehrig, Einstein, and Joey Ramone
Have I convinced you?
Do you read my lips?
This may come as news but it's time
You're gonna die
You're gonna die

By the time you hear this I may well be dead
And you my friend might be next
'Cause we're all gonna die

Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E-G-O-double-N-A-DIE Die!
You are gonna diiiiiie
Lung cancer, heart attack, diabetes, drug overdose
Choke on a chicken bone
Hit by a lightning bolt
Heart attack
Airplane crash
Car wreck
Fucked up in your aaaaa---s-s-s-s!
