Joyas musicales LXIII (“Tunnel of Love”)

El túnel del amor es excitante cuando se entra en él, pero torna áspero, rugoso y complejo a medida que se olvida la luz de la entrada y ya sólo queda la oscuridad, la oscuridad falseada por la luz artificial de la rutina más absoluta.

No se puede volver atrás, sólo hay dos opciones, permanecer en el centro del túnel, en la oscuridad, y seguir hacia la luz, la luz de la salida, dejando atrás definitivamente la luz de la entrada.

Bruce Springsteen define en cuatro estrofas el significado del amor.

Tunnel of Love

Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his
eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
Well ride down baby into this tunnel of love

I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and its just the three of us
You me and all that stuff were so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love

Theres a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-d
Im laughing at you youre laughing at me
Theres a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
Its easy for two people to lose each other
in this tunnel of love

It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And youve got to learn to live with what
you cant rise above if you want to ride on down
in through this tunnel of love
