¿Por qué precisamente esta canción? Pues porque es la que he escogido para que sea mi tono en el móvil de empresa que me han dado en mi nuevo empleo. Dado que una de las características primordiales del mismo es viajar (por el ancho mundo), ¿qué mejor que una canción con este título?
No sé qué tal se dará este cambio de trabajo (yo creo que bien), pero lo que sí tengo claro es que será muy muy difícil conectar tanto como lo he hecho con los que ya son mis ex compañeros. Tanto, que a algunos los considero amigos de pleno derecho. Está claro que muchas veces las cosas son cómo acaban y no cómo empiezan...(ver aquí). El caso es que mi comienzo de nuevo curro ha sido francamente bueno: me han integrado bien, he empezado a hacer cositas, me dejaron irme a la Eurocopa sin problemas...Y me dan agosto entero de vacaciones. Eso sí, a partir del 1 de septiembre seré "The Passenger" a tope.
Como siempre, pongo a continuación unos vídeos y la letra de la canción después.
I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger, I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped backsides
And everything looks good tonight
Singing, la la la
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
We'll see the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Stars made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
What does he see?
He sees the sign and hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singing, la la la
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window side
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city sleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
Singing, la la la
