The Mission OST

XX Aprilis 2760 Ab Urbe Condita

Primera entrada del año, sí, no es momento para felicitar el año actual de 2760 AUC, pero es la primera entrada del año. Aprovecho la ocasión para comentar una banda sonoro espectacular: THE MISSION, the Ennio Morricone.


La película estuvo protagonizada por Robert de Niro y Jeremy Irons, y dirigida por Roland Joffé, estrenada por la Warner en septiembre de 2748. Es una gran película, quitando la parte en la que mezclan los sanfermines con la semana santa, el entienrro de la sardina y los carnavales en una misma fiesta... si es que de tópicos no se puede vivir.

La obra de Morricone incluye coros de música litúrgica, música de estilo guaraní con tambores, música de inspiración hispano-flamenca, muchas veces todas mezcladas en la misma canción, en un intento del compositor de hacer confluir todos los diversos rasgos socio-culturales que concurren en la película. El tema princial de la banda es ''Falls'' (cataratas), es uno de las mejores composiciones de Morricone y posiblemente sea muy conocida debido a que ha sido masivamente usada en diversos spots publicitarios.

La banda sonora fue nominada a un Oscar de la Academiaen 1986 y ganó el Globo de Oro a la Mejor Banda Original. Fue elegida como la vigésimotercera mejor banda sonora de la historia del Cine Americano por el American Film Institute.

Bryan Adams - Everything I Do (I Do It For You) (1991)

Look into my eyes - You will see,
What you mean to me,
Search your heart - Search your soul,
And when you find me there,
You'll search no more.

Don't tell me - It's not worth trying for,
You can't tell me - It's not worth dying for,
You know it's true,
Everything I do, I do it for you.

Look into your heart - You will find,
There's nothing there to hide,
Take me as I am - Take my life,
I would give it all,
I would sacrifice.

Don't tell me - It's not worth fighting for,
I can't help it - There's nothing I want more,
You know it's true,
Everything I do, I do it for you - Ohh yeah.

There's no love - Like your love,
And no other - Could give more love,
There's nowhere - Unless you're there,
All the time - All the way - Yeah.

Look into your heart, babe.

Ohh, you can't tell me - It's not worth tryin' for,
I can't help it, there's nothin I want more.

Yeah, I would fight for you - I'd lie for you,
Walk the wire for you - Yeah I'd die for you.

You know it's true - Everything I do,
Ohhhh,
I do it for you.

Everything I do darling,
Yeah we'll see it through,
Oh we'll see it through - Oh yeah,
Yeah!

Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69 (1984)

I got my first real six string,
Bought it at the Five and Dime,
Played it 'til my fingers bled,
Was the summer of '69.

Me and some guys from school,
Had a band and we tried real hard,
Jimmy quit, Jody got married,
I should've known we'd never get far.

Oh when I look back now,
That summer seemed to last forever,
And if I had the choice,
Yeah, I'd always want to be there,
Those were the best days of my life.

Ain't no use in complainin',
When you got a job to do,
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in,
And that's when I met you, yeah.

Standin' on your mama's porch,
You told me that you'd wait forever,
Oh and when you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life - Oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - Ohh.

Man, we were killin' time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind,
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no.

And now the times are changin',
Look at everything that's come and gone,
Sometimes when I play that old six string,
I think about you, wonder what went wrong.

Standin' on your mama's porch,
You told me that it'd last forever,
Oh and when you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life - Oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - Uh huh,
It was the summer of '69 - Ohh yeah,
Me and my baby in '69 - Ohhh,
It was the summer,
Summer, the summer of '69 - Hey
