"I Google You", de Amanda Palmer, con letra de Neil Gaiman

Me he encontrado en NPC esta canción de Amanda Palmer que se titula "I Google You". La letra ha sido escrita por Neil Gaiman, guionista de "The Sandman" y autor de "Stardust", "American Gods", "Neverwhere" y otras muchas grandes obras. La letra me encanta:

I Google you
late at night when I don’t know what to do
I find photos
you’ve forgotten
you were in
put up by your friends

I Google you
when the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal
that you kept
that month in France
I’ve watched you dance

And I’m pleased your name is practically unique
it’s only you and
a would-be PhD in Chesapeake
who writes papers on
the structure of the sun
I’ve read each one

I know that I
should let you fade
but there’s that box
and there’s your name
somehow it never makes the pain
grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and
I should crawl back in my hole
But it’s too easy just to fold
and type your name again
I fear
I google you
Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue
And each scrap of information
That I gather
says you’ve got somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
ought to blow up my computer
but instead….
I google you

Dentro de poco podremos ver en el cine una adaptación de otra novela de Neil Gaiman, "Coraline". Esperemos que lo hagan un poco mejor que en "Stardust", que quedó preciosa, pero no era demasiado fiel al libro.
