Two-Headed Boy Pt. Two, by Neutral Milk Hotel

Daddy please, hear this song that I sing.
In your heart there's a spark that just screams
for a lover to bring a child to your chest
that could lay as you sleep and love all you have left
like your boy used to be, long ago,
wrapped in sheets, warm and wet.

Blister please, with those wings in your spine.
Love to be with a brother of mine.
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth,
in a struggle to find secret songs that you keep
wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep.

And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying
as your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet.
Rings of flowers round your eyes and I love you
for the rest of your life (when you're ready).

Brother see, we are one in the same.
And you left with your head filled with flames
and you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth.
Push the pieces in place.
Make your smile sweet to see.
Don't you take this away.
I'm still wanting my face on your cheek.

And when we break we'll wait for our miracle.
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies.
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle.
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life.

Two-headed boy, she is all you could need.
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires,
and retire to sheets safe and clean.
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave.

Neutral Milk Hotel es uno de mis descubrimientos musicales más recientes y, con diferencia, es uno de los que más me han calado jamás. En cuestión de semanas, su disco "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" se ha encaramado en el ranking de mis discos favoritos de todos los tiempos; de hecho, aunque no tengo dinero, en cuanto tuve la ocasión aparté unos euros y me compré una copia física del mismo.

Hablaré más sobre ellos en otra ocasión, quizás. Por ahora, os dejo la letra de la última canción del disco mencionado. Una auténtica joya de poesía y emociones sinceras. El verso "And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying" casi hace que me salten las lágrimas (lo cual es todo un logro para mí).

Buenas noches a todos, mis niños bicéfalos.
