"WISH YOU WERE HERE"
23.- Día 4 de marzo de 2017. Han pasado más de dos meses desde mi última publicación en el blog y es que hasta que no me pusiera completamente "al día" con las aventuras musicales en las que ando metido no tenía intención de publicar en el blog pero ha sucedido algo que ha hecho que decidiera robarle tiempo al tiempo y elaborar esta humilde publicación en memoria de alguien al que no pude conocer personalmente pero que desde que le vi por primera vez me impresionó su fuerza, entereza y energía positiva. Con todo el respeto, cariño y admiración queremos dedicarle mis compañeros y yo del grupo "THE PUNK BROTHERS" la entrada de hoy con un cover (incorporando sonidos reggae, ska y punk-rock) del tema "WISH YOU WERE HERE" que siginifica algo así como "Ojalá estuvieras aquí" del mítico grupo de rock sinfónico "PINK FLOYD" a PABLO RÁEZ, un joven malagueño de Marbella que consiguió aumentar notablemente las donaciones de médula gracias a sus campañas en las redes sociales. Pablo, con tan sólo 20 años nos dejó el pasado sábado 25 de febrero después de pelear contra una dura enfermedad, la leucemia. Su testimonio de vida para mi es impresionante y su lección merece darse a conocer. Creo que en los peores momentos que debió pasar solo leyendo los comentarios que publicaba en Facebook y las declaraciones que realizaba se ve claramente que no pensaba sólo en él, tampoco exclusivamente en las personas que pudieran sufrir esa u otra enfermedad grave sino en todos y cada uno de nosotros. Por eso me atrevo a publicar parte de su mensaje de vida, tal como escribió Pablo "Lo muerte no es triste, lo triste es que la gente no sepa vivir", sirvan como ejemplo las siguientes reflexiones que publicó en su Facebook recientemente:
"Disfrutemos cada día que es único, de verdad, empiezo a valorar las cosas de una manera increíble y de verdad que la vida sabe mejor así. Amad todo lo que forme parte de la vida, disfrutad de todo lo que forme parte de la vida, no os arrepentiréis. Seguimos en el camino y cargados de fuerza".
"He tenido una reflexión que me gustaría compartir con vosotros.
Vivimos en un sistema de vida en el que trabajamos y ganamos dinero por tiempo, es decir vivimos por y para el tiempo.
Vivimos esclavos de este sistema que se basa en la pura burocracia.
El planeta se está degenerando poco a poco, lo estamos destruyendo, derretimos los polos, producimos sin control,provocamos guerras, asesinamos personas y un largo etcétera que hacen que este mundo alcance su fin y todo esto lo estamos produciendo por dinero.
No somos felices con lo que tenemos, siempre queremos más.
La vida se debe basar en lo básico que se necesita y vivir en un sistema que realmente mire por cada persona y por cuidar este impresionante planeta lleno de belleza.
Tenemos que ser más felices y ver realmente lo que estamos haciendo por y para el mundo,tenemos que empezar a darnos cuenta de la importancia que tienen realmente las cosas y valorar las verdaderamente importante.
Demos más amor, primero a uno mismo y después a el mundo.
Hasta que no te quieres a ti mismo no puedes querer a los demás.
Demos más sonrisas, demos más abrazos, demos más paz , demos la mejor versión de nosotros mismos.
Demos gracias a la vida por darnos el gran lujo de poder despertarnos cada mañana , seamos más agradecidos".
Gracias por todo Pablo, si consigo que tu mensaje cale en tan solo una persona me daré por satisfecho, te has ganado un rincón dentro de mi corazón, todo mi sincero apoyo a su familia y amigos. A partir de ahora cuando mire al cielo en la noche una de las estrellas para mi serás tú, gracias por tu legado. ¡Descansa en paz!
En cuanto al tema "WISH YOU WERE HERE", fue lanzado al mercado en el álbum homónimo en el año 1975, (álbum posicionado en el nº 209 de la lista de los 500 mejores álbumes de la historia elaborada por la Revista Rolling Stone), aunque también en 1995 volvieron a publicar esta vez en directo la canción de un concierto que dieron en Roma el 20 de septiembre de 1994. En la ceremonia de clausura de los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012 Ed Sheeran junto a Richard Jones, Nick Mason, David Arnold y Mike Rutherford interpretaron el tema como homenaje y fue incluido en la banda sonora de la clausura de dichos juegos.
La música de la canción nació de la guitarra de David Gilmour y la letra de un poema de Roger Waters inspirado en un sentimiento de nostalgia debido a la ausencia de un amigo, en concreto dedicado a Syd Barret, anterior miembro del grupo hasta el año 1968 que tuvo que dejar la banda por graves problemas mentales debido al abuso en el consumo de drogas.
Respecto a "PINK FLOYD", (uno de mis grupos favoritos de rock sinfónico desde mi adolescencia), se trata una banda británica de rock sinfónico, rock psicodélico, rock progresivo o como prefieran catalogarlo, en definitiva y con más de 300 millones de álbumes vendidos en el mundo creo que no precisa demasiada presentación.
En su origen, en el año 1966 el grupo se llamó "The Pink Floyd Sound", nombre que provenía de la combinación de los nombres de dos músicos de blues (Pink Anderson y Floyd Council). En principio la banda estuvo formada por el vocalista Roger Waters, el guitarrista, vocalista y principal compositor Syd Barret. el teclista Richard Wright y el batería Nick Mason. Ya en el año 1967 entró en la formación David Gilmour, amigo de Syd como vocalista y guitarrista para quedarse definitivamente.
Por destacar algunos de sus álbumes: "The Dark Side of the Moon en 1973, Wish You Were Here en 1975, Animals en 1977 y The Wall en 1979 la cual sirvió como banda sonora a la película "Pink Floyd: The Wall" publicada en 1982. A partir de éste último disco surgieron problemas con Roger Waters y aunque publicaron The Final Cut en 1983, en 1985 Waters se marchó para no volver aunque el 2 de julio de 2005 se volvió a subir al escenario con PINK FLOYD en el concierto "Live 8" en Londres.
PINK FLOYD más que una banda de rock consiguió convertirse en todo un icono cultural del siglo XX pues además de su música, sus mensajes, su iconografía y escenografía han influido en gran medida en varias generaciones de músicos hasta nuestros días, por citar alguno: Génesis, David Bowie, Queen, Alan Parsons, Tangerine Dream, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet Revolver y un largo etc.
Quiero dar las gracias a mis compañeros del grupo alicantino "THE PUNK BROTHERS" por haber colaborado en esta dedicatoria (Miguel Ángel Llorens (Bajo y voz), José M. Francés y Miguel Sevilla (Guitarras y coros).

"WISH YOU WERE HERE"
23.- March 4, 2017. More than two months have passed since my last blog post and it is that until I got completely "up to date" with the musical adventures I am involved in, I had no intention of publishing on the blog but something has happened that has made me decide to steal time from time and make this humble post in memory of someone I could not meet personally but who since I saw him for the first time I was impressed by his strength, fortitude and positive energy. With all due respect, affection and admiration, we want to dedicate my colleagues and I from the group "THE PUNK BROTHERS" today's entry with a cover (incorporating reggae, ska and punk-rock sounds) of the song "WISH YOU WERE HERE" that means something as well as "I wish you were here" from the mythical symphonic rock group "PINK FLOYD" to PABLO RÁEZ, a young man from Malaga from Marbella who managed to significantly increase marrow donations thanks to his campaigns on social networks. Pablo, with only 20 years old, left us last Saturday, February 25, after fighting against a hard disease, leukemia. The testimony of his life for me is impressive and his lesson deserves to be known. I think that in the worst moments that he had to spend just reading the comments he published on Facebook and the statements he made, it is clear that he was not thinking only of him, nor exclusively of the people who could suffer from this or another serious illness but of each and every one of us. That is why I dare to publish part of his life message, as Pablo wrote "Death is not sad, the sad thing is that people do not know how to live", the following reflections that he published on his Facebook recently serve as an example:
"Let's enjoy each day that is unique, really, I begin to value things in an incredible way and truly that life tastes better like that. Love everything that is part of life, enjoy everything that is part of life You will not regret it. We continue on the road and full of strength. ""I have had a reflection that I would like to share with you.
We live in a way of life in which we work and earn money by time, that is, we live by and for time.
We live slaves to this system that is based on pure bureaucracy.
The planet is degenerating little by little, we are destroying it, we melt the poles, we produce without control, we provoke wars, we murder people and a long etcetera that make this world reach its end and we are producing all this for money.
We are not happy with what we have, we always want more.
Life must be based on the basics that are needed and live in a system that truly looks out for each person and takes care of this impressive planet full of beauty.
We have to be happier and really see what we are doing for and for the world, we have to begin to realize how important things really are and value what is truly important.
Let us give more love, first to oneself and then to the world.
Until you love yourself, you cannot love others.
Let's give more smiles, let's give more hugs, let's give more peace, let's give the best version of ourselves.
Let's give thanks to life for giving us the great luxury of being able to wake up every morning, let's be more grateful ".
Thanks for everything Pablo, if I get your message to reach just one person I will be satisfied, you have earned a corner in my heart, all my sincere support to his family and friends. From now on when I look at the sky at night one of the stars for me will be you, thank you for your legacy. Rest in peace!
As for the song "WISH YOU WERE HERE", it was released on the market in the self-titled album in 1975, (album positioned at number 209 on the list of the 500 best albums in history produced by Rolling Stone Magazine), although also in 1995 they reissued this time live the song of a concert they gave in Rome on September 20, 1994.

(PINK FLOYD)
So, so you think you can tell
heaven from hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
a smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
your heros for ghosts?
hot ashes for trees?
hot air for a cool breeze?
cold comfort for change?
did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
a smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
your heros for ghosts?
hot ashes for trees?
hot air for a cool breeze?
cold comfort for change?
did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
the same old fears
wish you were here.
swimming in a fish bowl,
year after year,
running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
the same old fears
wish you were here.
