Sheryl Crow – If It Makes You Happy

Hace ya unos cuantos años descubría a Sheryl Crow con su disco homónimo (1996) y con canciones tan pegadizas como este «If it makes you happy» o «All I Wanna Do». Una voz con mucha personalidad acompañada por una música mitad country, mitad rock. Y es que a veces me pregunto lo mismo que Sheryl: Si te hace feliz algo, ¿por qué diablos estás tan triste?. La respuesta está en lo enrevesado del ser humano.

Letra:

I’ve been long, a long way from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,
And drank til I was thirsty again
We went searching through thrift store jungles
Found Geronimo’s rifle, Marilyn’s shampoo
And Benny Goodman’s corset and pen

Well, o.k. I made this up
I promised you I’d never give up

[estribillo]
If it makes you happy
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad

You get down, real low down
You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train
Well who hasn’t been there before?
I come round, around the hard way
Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread
And serve you french toast again

Well, o.k. I still get stoned
I’m not the kind of girl you’d take home

[estribillo]

We’ve been far, far away from here
Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos
And everywhere in between
Well, o.k. we get along
So what if right now everything’s wrong?

[estribillo]
