Domingo Acústico #1: Pictures of You

Pictures of You – Acoustic Cover

Ya tenía desde la semana pasada queriendo comenzar con este pequeño bloque semanal pero por varios motivos (hueva) no había podido hasta ahora .

Una versión acústica es el arreglar una canción original para ser interpretada únicamente por instrumentos acústicos (sin cables, como el unplugged) en lo personal me encantan por que generalmente se toca con mayor sentimiento y se pone mas atención el la vocalización que en la melodía como puede suceder en la versión original.

Normalmente me centraré en colocar las versiones hechas por los mismos intérpretes de las versiones originales, pero en algunos casos (como el de hoy) no puedo encontrar una versión por los mismos integrantes, sin embargo, un cover puede llegar a ser bastante bueno.

P.D. El video de la canción original tras el salto.

The Cure – Pictures of You (1989)

I’ve been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they’re real
I’ve been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you
How you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I’d thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I’d thought of the right words
I wouldn’t be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
