Εικόνα
 ...ένα μουσικό ταξίδι γύρω από τον φανταστικό, ονειρικό κόσμο του σουρεαλιστή ζωγράφου Remedios Varo... Το dark ambient project, trajedesaliva (Mon Ninguén & unavena) από τη Γαλικία της Ισπανίας, συνεργάζεται με τον γεννημένο στη Μαδρίτη τραγουδιστή και πιανίστα Maud the Moth (Amaya López-Carromero) για να δημιουργήσει ένα soundtrack για το έργο του Remedios Varo.   Το soundtrack έχει το τίτλο "Bordando el manto terrestre" (Κεντώντας τον μανδύα της Γης) και είναι ένα μουσικό ταξίδι dark ambient/drone/gothic synth με μια πινελιά νεοκλασικού και αιθέριου και περιστρέφεται γύρω από τον φανταστικό, ονειρικό κόσμο του σουρεαλιστή ζωγράφου Remedios Varo, ενός ζωγράφου που γεννήθηκε στην Ισπανία το 1908 και έζησε εξόριστος στο Μεξικό μέχρι τον θάνατό του το 1963.

Chris de Burgh - Spanish Τrain





Στίχοι Chris de Burgh
Το έγραψε το 1975
Ένα αριστούργημα κατ εμε, ένα καταπληκτικό παραμύθι που μόνο ο Burgh μπορεί να γράψει πραγματεύοντας την σχέση Θεού διαβόλου,
Για την ερμηνεία και την μελωδία ούτε λόγος.


To Spanish Train είναι απλά απο τα μεγαλύτερα δημιουργήματα στην ιστορία της μουσικής.
Ο Chris de Burgh εμπνέεται από το τρένο-φάντασμα που πηγαινοέρχεται μεταξύ της παλιάς Σεβίλλης και της Guadalquivir και διηγείται με την αγγελική φωνή του τι πραγματικά συμβαίνει... Στο τρένο βρίσκονται ο Χριστός και ο Διάβολος, οι οποίοι παίζουν πόκερ με στοίχημα τις χιλιάδες ψυχές που βρίσκονται κι αυτές στο τρένο....

Lyrics


There's a Spanish train that runs between
Quadalquivir and old Seville
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people fear she's running still...

And then they hush their children back to sleep
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep!!

Well a railwayman lay dying with his people by his side
His family were crying, knelt in prayer before he died
But above his head just awaiting for the dead
Was the Devil with a twinkle in his eye
Well God's not around and look what I've found
this one's mine

Just then the Lord himself appeared in a blinding flash of light
And shouted at the devil Get thee hence to endless night
But the Devil just grinned and said I may have sinned
But there's no need to push me around,
I got him first so you can do your worst
He's going underground

But I think I'll give you one more chance
Said the Devil with a smile
So throw away that stupid lance
It's really not your style
Joker is the name
Poker is the game
We'll play right here on this bed,
And then we'll bet for the biggest stakes yet
The souls of the dead

And I said Look out, Lord, he's going to win,
The sun is down and the night is riding in,
That train is dead on time
many souls are on the line
Oh Lord, he's going to win

Well the railwayman he cut the cards
and he dealt them each a hand of five
And for the Lord he was praying hard
For that train he'd have to drive...
Well the Devil he had three aces and a king
And the Lord he was running for a straight
He had the queen and the knave and the nine and ten of spades
All he needed was the eight

And then the Lord he called for one more card
But he drew the diamond eight
And the Devil said to the son of God
I believe you've got it straight
So deal me one for the time has come
To see who'll be the king of this place
But as he spoke from beneath his cloak
He slipped another ace

Ten thousand souls was the opening bid
And it soon went up to fifty-nine
But the Lord didn't see what the Devil did
and he said that suits me fine
I'll raise you high to hundred and five
And forever put an end to your sins
But the Devil let out a mighty shout, My hand wins

And I said Lord, oh Lord, you let him win
The sun is down and the night is riding in
That train is dead on time, many souls are on the line
Oh Lord, don't let him win...

Well that Spanish train still runs between
Quadalquivir and old Seville
And at dead of night the whistle blows
And people hear she's running still

And far away in some recess
The Lord and the Devil are now playing chess
The Devil still cheats and wins more souls
And as for the Lord, well, he's just doing his best

And I said Lord, oh Lord, you've got to win
The Sun is down and the night is riding in
That train is still on time
Oh my soul is on the line
Oh Lord, you've got to win
