Spanish Recommended of the Week: Aterciopelados http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnu0Mww49us Hey there! Today´s tune is from a band of my country which to me is the most important in Colombian Rock history. They began as a punk rock band from the Bogotá scene, and they started to find diversed sounds that put them in a different direction and shew them new horizons. Always beyond the plastic world of glamour and fame, they actually donated a Latin Grammy Award they won once to a charity auction, because they said that otherwise they would have just placed it on a table at home so everyone could see it and that would have been really stupid. They have worked with lots of great names of the music industry, including legendary british producer and guitarist Phil Manzanera. This song has a very nice message I want to share with everybody around here; it leads to a little bit of consideration. Plus it´s just a great tune and a high quality production. The Case It´s not a commandment to be the Diva of the Moment, why working for a sculptural body? Do you want to feel all the eyes upon you and unleash whistles while you pass by? Glance the essence, not the appearance. The body is just a case and eyes are the window of our imprisoned soul. "Everything enters through the eyes" shalows say, what is inside is what worths. I feel a spiritual aroma in the air, winged messengers trying to land. If you open the case, what you must find is a jewel that will astonish you. 90, 60, 90 equals 240; those are figures that don´t count (90-60-90 is what is considered perfect bust, waist and hip measures for a woman´s body in cms; I don´t know which numbers are used in inches). Don´t let them measure you, don´t let yourself be fooled. Heads up!(pay attention! wake up! I could use some help here), make yourself valuable. El Estuche No es un mandamiento ser la diva del momento (wow) Para que trabajar por un cuerpo escultural, Acaso deseas sentir en ti todos los ojos, Y desencadenar silbidos al pasar? Mira la escencia, no las apariencias El cuerpo es solo un estuche y los ojos la ventana, De nuestra alma aprisionada Que todo entra por los ojos dicen lo superficiales, Lo que hay adentro es lo que vale Siento en el aire, un aroma espiritual Mensajeros alados intentando aterrizar Si abres el estuche lo que debes encontrar Es una joya que te deslumbrará Mira la escencia, no las apariencias 90-60-90, suman doscientos cuarenta, Cifras que no hay que tener en cuenta No te dejes medir, no te dejes confundir; agúzate, hazte valer.
