When you shake hands with Carlos Varela, they seem small - perhaps too small - because you get used to that man in black doing songs like William Tell<\/i> and then he must be immense. As he comes in his black car and is recording in the studio of Pablo Milan\u00e9s, and one comes from the Llano de Maceira, and the special period comes out in the worn flowers of his shirt; one ends up imagining that Carlos Varela's hands must be extensive, where they can fit. Grettel<\/i>or Snowball<\/i>or a good part of the country.<\/p>\n
Carlos Varela is recording the album Clouds<\/i>The song is with guitars, and each one of those guitars simulates other instruments. Carlos Varela asks, please, that we listen to a song, and he does not put A word<\/i>, otherwise Clouds<\/i>. The clouds<\/i> cross the small studio, the nineties were topped off by a dull, half-dystopian millennium, and one hears the gnome almost demand that \"Don't put your head down, and don't look back\" and the country tires like a sailor who has returned to shore so many times.<\/p>\n
Someone has said that the song takes possession of you; you insist, you hit the wall, you take ten pills and the song hits your parietals and you repeat it: \"the clouds won't go away, they won't go away, they won't go away, they won't go away, they won't go away\".<\/p>\n
At the end of the theme, we asked Carlos Varela to listen to I found you<\/i>a song I wrote with Eduardo Sosa. The gnome began to analyze the piece, pop, mixed with everything as Sosa and Ernesto did. He likes it, he says, and the night opens up like a flower and smells of beautiful songs.<\/p>\n
When you go out on the street, after seeing the humanity of a guy you have heard so many times, that is part of your decisions or courtship, that you heard when you cried, when you made love, when you changed horses, when you went to buy shoes on Enramadas Street, when that girl said no and left, you come back to yourself and you know you are happy. There is nothing else.<\/p>\n
Measuring the pulse, the way an artist reaches his audience, is rare. There's a crowd gathered at the concert, there are social networks, and the feedback<\/i> immediate is sometimes coarse. There is a majority that the artist will never know about. Those beings that in their small lives will try to order the cry around the verses; a being that on his horse, with Chinese hooves, will be seduced while carrying the pieces of his life.<\/p>\n
One knows then that a man can have beautiful songs and small hands, that the work is not the man, because Spinetta's song is not Spinetta, but it rolls and appropriates everyone, the woodcutter or the one who paints life in beautiful posters in Paris.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
