Temazo publicado en
el álbum “Singing Bones” (2003) y
rescatado ahora como cabecera de la magnífica serie True Detective.
Espectacular serie, espectacular
guión, espectacular McConaughey. Y por supuesto, espectacular banda sonora: una
recopilación del mítico T-Bone Burnett,
con Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker, Steve Earle,
Slim Harpo, The Staples Singers, Grinderman,
Bo Diddley, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou
Harris, Waylon Jennings o Townes Van Zandt como fieles compañeros
de viaje de nuestros dos peculiares detectives.
“La muerte creó
el tiempo para hacer crecer las cosas que luego mataría”
FAR FROM ANY ROAD
From the
dusty May sun her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin my fingers ran with blood
In the hushing dusk under a swollen silver moon
I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom
And strange hands halted me,the looming shadows danced
I fell down to the thorny brush and felt the trembling hands
When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones
And rise with me forever across the silent sand
And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands
