Es Viernes Estoy Enamorado (Friday I’m In Love)

Siempre me ha encantado la gozosa euforia desplegada en esta fantástica canción pop de The Cure. Es viernes, y no, no estoy enamorado aún, pero me siento como si lo estuviese, por eso quiero compartir hoy con todos vosotros el extraño clip oficial de esta maravillosa canción:

La canción, sin duda, transmite una contagiosa alegría de vivir, un excelente estado de ánimo, la felicidad de amar a alguien. Pero lo extraño en ella proviene del hecho de que eso sólo ocurre porque es viernes y ese es el día, no otro. Sí, el único un día en toda la semana en que el personaje, o el cantante/compositor (ya que está escrita en primera persona), puede sentirse así de feliz. Y esa es para mí la cuestión más interesante, lo que hace que la canción sea diferente e impresionante. En mi opinión produce un gran impacto, ya que le hace a uno pensar en lo que no se dice ¿Qué le pasa el resto de la semana? ¿Qué le hace sentirse como se siente el resto de los días, de sábado a jueves?

Friday I’m In Love (The Cure)

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate…

I don’t care if Monday’s black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It’s Friday I’m in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It’s Friday I’m in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate…

La canción, “Friday I’m In Love”, fue incluída en esta recopilación oficial de singles

Dressed up to the eyes
It’s a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It’s such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It’s Friday
I’m in love

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love

ooo000ooo

The Cure – Robert Smith

Resulta divertido, porque describe cómo se siente cada uno de los días de la semana en tan sólo un verso cada día. Pero el sentimiento es de tristeza y desolación, incluso a veces terrible, y ni siquiera le importa. Digamos que da igual lo que suceda el resto de la semana. Mientras haya viernes, lo demás carece de importancia. O sea que, al igual que en la canción de Bob Dylan “Most Of The Time*”, las palabras más relevantes de la canción son aquellas que nunca se dicen, las que permanecen ocultas al resto del mundo. Pensad en ello.

Friday I’m In Love

I always loved the joyful euphoria deployed in this fantastic pop song by The Cure. It’s friday, and no, I’m not in love yet, but I feel like that, so I’m sharing this odd clip of this wonderful song  with all of you:

The song doubtlessly share a contagious joy of life, a fine mood, the happiness of loving someone. But the strange thing about it comes from the fact that it does only happen because it’s Friday and that’s the day. Yeah, the only one day along the week that the character, or the singer/songwriter (as he wrote it in first person), may feel so good.  And that’s for me the most interesting matter, what makes the song different and impressive. In my opinion it makes a huge impact because it makes one think about what’s not being said. What happens to him the rest of the week? What makes him feel the way he does every other day in the week, from Saturday to Thursday?

The Cure – Robert Smith

Sounds funny, cause he describes how it feels every single day of the week in just a line each day. But the feelings are of sadness and desolation, might even be terrible, but he doesn’t even care. Let’s say that it doesn’t matter what happens the rest of the week. As far as Friday comes, nothing else matters. So, just like in Bob Dylan’s “Most Of The Time,” the most relevant words in the song are those never said, the ones hidden from the world. You may think about it.
