The past overtakes me - El pasado me adelanta

[onacarom]

Time is a crazy wheel that hoists us and immerses us while taking off our clothes and leaving us naked
in a space full of numbers.

Best regards

Everything turns so fast
that the past overtakes me
and my steps lost the thread
between clouds of stumbling

Everything turns so fast
that the nights and the days
and its moons and its years
they escape between my fingers

Time and hours that move away
and they hide in your feet
Marks, stripes, that are maps
of treasures in your skin

 

[John Watt]

Ooooh! Aaaaah! I just did something on my end here, a first for me,
and that's something I've been threatening to do for a long time,
making a video of me playing along with one of your videos.
Poor alcaponedudu, who first inspired me to have these trans-video thoughts.

It could have been watching six of your videos in a row,
when I'm always wanting to get up and play if I'm watching a band.
It could have been the fact this video is a little more uptempo and electronic sounding,
and your vocalist is singing in your native language, easier for me to ignore.

My camera is sitting level with my right elbow, and I didn't knock it over,
sitting in an uncomfortable position.
My computer speakers are sitting up behind the screen, higher than the top of it.
My BOSS Katana portable amp is off to the left of the screen.
I thought this combination would be an even mix, but I'm a little too loud.
I could have listened to your video once more to figure out the chords in the break,
but I didn't. Getting this set up was enough extra effort for me,
and I wanted to hurry, getting to play, while your song was still in my head.
It still is, even more now.

I don't use a tremolo arm with this upside-down Strat-style guitar.
That would have let me blend the big chord bend you use even more.

Here it is, 2018, and I'm playing guitar in a new kind of global mix.
What a world this world wide web weaves.
I'm taking it for a whirl, that's for sure.

onacarom! Towards the end of your video,
your singer looks like she's looking over my headstock,
and starts to leave, but when I start riffing out more intensely,
she comes back to watch over me. I hope you don't worry about that.
