"Nadie es realmente hermoso", se llamaba el album que Jude publicó en el 2008 en el sello de Madonna, Maverick Records, y que incluía la delicada "I Know" que la diva a su vez apropió para la banda sonora de la película "The next big thing".
"No one is really beautiful" conjuntaba alaridos folk con pop de quilates, experimentos urban y paisajes frágiles como bebes, todas ellas con esa voz adolescente que era capaz de elevarse en notas celestiales o echar a correr a velocidad vertiginosa, devorando textos considerables en un par de minutos, como era el caso del tema que quiero recuperar, "You mama you".
Lo que más llama la atención de este rescate, aparte de lo rapidísimo que pueda cantar Jude, es esa letra inundada de desolación de perro solitario que no halla refugio en los brazos de mamá. En absoluto es el mejor regalo para el día de la madre, y ya acusando desde el mismo título, "Tú mama, tú", no deja de provocar incomodidad y estupor por partes iguales, evidenciando un rencor forjado fuego lento
Jack Kerouac, dioses fenicios símbolos de la purificación, complejo de Edipo y mucho resquemor, vagan por las palabras que, apenas inteligibles, esboza Jude.
Todo esto gana intensidad con una guitarra acústica y una sutil orquesta de cámara, en lo que podría ser un castrati acelerado que siempre quiso parecerse a Bob Dylan.
Merece la pena una escucha, es muy cortita!!
When I was young and pushed around
And beaten up and beaten down
Who'd I run to mama tell me who
And as I grew to be a man
And all the world held such élan
I did what I thought I just had to do
Chorus:
It was you mama you, it was you all along
It was you I ran away from I was wrong
And if I could I'd change my life
I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife
And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song
And laid back Kerouac never no a heart attack
Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to
The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack
Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack
And mama sometimes I remember you
Chorus
Man loves woman
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for a while
So I can feel at home for a while
Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns
The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds
I found places and traces of a storybook world
And I went out there for a ride
On the misty coast but the holy host
Is under Mickey D's American flag and it's unfurled
Chorus
Man loves woman sometimes
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for a while
So I can feel at home for a while
And beaten up and beaten down
Who'd I run to mama tell me who
And as I grew to be a man
And all the world held such élan
I did what I thought I just had to do
Chorus:
It was you mama you, it was you all along
It was you I ran away from I was wrong
And if I could I'd change my life
I swear to God I'd cut it out with a knife
And with a glue stick I'd reapply it in a song
And laid back Kerouac never no a heart attack
Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to
The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack
Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend Jack
And mama sometimes I remember you
Chorus
Man loves woman
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for a while
So I can feel at home for a while
Looking around at all the Mellencamp towns
The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds
I found places and traces of a storybook world
And I went out there for a ride
On the misty coast but the holy host
Is under Mickey D's American flag and it's unfurled
Chorus
Man loves woman sometimes
Mother loves child
Sometimes I call my lady mama
So I can feel at home for a while
So I can feel at home for a while
