By Luis Paz. Supplement NO - Página/12, April 14, 2011 .- There is a certain mystification latent rock songs as messages from one author to his generation, inviting you to change the world and explain how. A good mission statement, a shopping list ("one banner read Che Guevara, a pair of rock'n'roll and a joint pa" smoking ") or a severe statement (" test your cookie with full devotion "), with a chorus for off the ground, can be as explosive as a tomahawk missile falling in Dock Sud But not always the case: the English band Vetusta Morla, last to make the crossover from under that country to a English-speaking pre-mainstream (with video MTV, notes in the major media in Spain and dates as the support band The Like at Luna Park) won in his debut A day in the world (2008) a gallery of mottos, slogans, definitions and contradictions, but have no idea how. It is perhaps only rock to blend in, but we like it. To Pucho, singer and one of the lyricists of the group, which has left her first album when I had ten years of band, the name has arisen by chance (in a reminder of the giant tortoise History endless) and are to return to play in Argentina, has a common origin: the Pacha Mama. Or your idea of \u200b\u200bwhat comes "naturally." It is clear that there is a point in which "naturally" is the side: when it happens grabbed a guitar, put a few chords together, somebody rented a studio, someone will watch you play and someone serving drinks on the premises. There is an entire system function that does that not everything is "natural." And that system is working well the illusion of the listener: "We do not like to pigeonhole the album into a single concept, the correct reading of A day in the world is that each thinks is right", he insists, and there is a point where you feel like screaming at the phone: "But why?!".
Or, better yet, why? What would happen to a ricotero if one day Solari said: "Mmm, the truth is I did not write 'Jijiji' thinking about anything, is a song that came naturally has no meaning? "Harakiri ricotero. But maybe not be so hard to Vetusta Morla, because it would bring to ridicule a work that has its touches of dignity, especially poetry (" The poison is the light and shadow my cachet "sing for example). In a moment of A day in the world , Pucho intones that" tomorrow can be hide my voice to do it my way, there are so idiot outside. "finish will have to lose innocence, then, and become psychedelic, polysemic and understanding of his work down & rock songs with guitars midtempo protagonists climatic and pens and voices to serve the story of a cloistered gallery of characters in their own emotional alienation ("I do not think Madrid, and on his watch," they insist.) "I do not think we lost our innocence as individuals but as a society. Socially, the innocence is gone. The old regime of innocence is over for us as a society," and anticipates further reflection: "We have no innocence, then we get teenagers anxiety. That anxiety is what pulls us forward now, not the innocence of what was to discover in the Old World. "
