Lo recuerdo perfecto. La sala de arte del colegio era como no estar en él. Estaba en la parte antigua, con piso de madera y techos altos. Pizarrón de tiza, lavatorios con pintura y muchos cuadros malos (y otros un poco mejores) pero muy intensos (en sentimientos) colgando de las paredes.
La miss Loreto nos dejaba poner música mientras pintábamos, y en realidad, pasábamos mucho tiempo allí. Como estaba en el electivo de "arte superior (ahá)", tenía 6 horas de colegio a la semana en esa sala, en 3ro y 4to. Realmente lo disfrutaba muchísimo... no sólo porque cada vez que cruzaba esos portones de hierro (hacia las ex-caballerizas, porque eso era ese sector pre-colegio) me llevaban a mis primeros años en el colegio (mi sala de Kinder estaba abajo), sino que el grupo era muy entretenido.
Fijas, los 2 años, que recuerde, La Polilla, la Eileen B., la Cata M, la Coni F, yo. Una de las mejores cosas de ese tiempo, fue que un año teníamos una hora libre antes de 2 hrs seguidas después de almuerzo... y ahí nos íbamos al Palacio Rioja. Justo una vez que no fui les apareció un loco de abrigo, y claro, nada abajo, así que eh, los paseos esos se acortaron en distancia.
La cosa es que, un día de sol, mientras hacía otro experimento de arte de "técnica mixta" (uno de mis cuadros tenía desde vidrio, hasta ladrillo y una cerradura... así que eh... mega mix) sonó en la radio el Hit del momento "I'm like a bird" de Nelly Furtado.
Entonces, la Polilla me dijo yo que tenía todo su estilo. Y yo, eh, si, claro, estamos igualitas. Entonces me dijo, bueno, no iguales-iguales pero es como la onda, mira, escucha lo que dice:
(Les pongo la song)

I'm like a bird

You're beautiful, that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

Chorus:
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is, I don't know where my home is
(and baby all I need for you to know is)
I'm like a bird, I only fly away
I don't know where my soul is , I don't know where my home is
All I need for you to know is

Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
Though my love is true

Chorus

It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just that every time you try to tell me that you love me
Each and every single day I know
I'm going to have to eventually give you away
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
Hey I'm just scared
That we may fall through

Chorus x 3

La verdad es que fue como, si igual... ah? Es que bueno... siempre he vivido en la luna. Cuando ví más detenidamente el video, me pareció muy re weno. Y también su estilo en general.

La cosa es que con el tiempo Nelly creció... los discos siguientes estan llenos de Forca, uno de sus hits. Es que esta chica las tiene todas: personalidad, estilo y canta bien. Debo reconocer que realmente me gustaba así media folk_lórica.

(requeteamooo esa polera!)

Y que realmente fue un WTF??? su cambio de estilo para "Promiscuous Girl"... onda ¿qué le pasóoo??

(HUH?)
La cosa, es que, era Nelly igual, la canción sonaba super, pero la verdad es que en los lyrics me quedaba bastante atrás.

Y esta chica no deja de sorprenderme!

Promiscuous Girl
Nelly Furtado & Timbaland

N: Am i throwin' you off?
Nope
N: Didn’t think so

How you doin’ young lady
That feelin’ that you givin' me really drives me crazy
You don’t have a player about the choke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke

N:If you looking for a girl that’ll treat you right
If you lookin’ for her in the day time with the light

You might be the type if I play my cards right
I'll find out by the end of the night

N: You expect me to just let you hit it
But will you still respect me if you get it

All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What’s the problem I don’t see no ring on your hand

I be the first to admit it, I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent

N: You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I’m tired of running, lets walk for a minute

Chorus-
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it's you that I want

N: Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?

Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

N: Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
Are you ready?

Verse-
N: Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you're still kinda cute

Hey! I can't keep my mind off you
Where you at, do you mind if I come through

N: I’m out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?

They call me Thomas
last name Crown
Recognize game
I'm a lay mine's down

N: I'm a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I’ma need your help
Pay attention to me I don't talk for my health

I want you on my team
N: So does everybody else.

Baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain’t nobody gotta know
If you with it girl I know a place we can go

N: What kind of girl do you take me for?

Chorus-

Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it's you that I want

N: Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?

Promiscuous girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

N: Promiscuous boy
Let's get to the point
Cause we're on a roll
Are you ready?

Don't be mad, don't get mean
N: Don't get mad, don't be mean

Hey! Don't be mad, don't get mean
N: Don't get mad, don't be mean

Wait! I don't mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on

N: I can see you with nothing on
feeling on me before you bring that on

Bring that on
N: You know what I mean

Girl, I’m a freak you shouldn't say those things

N: I’m only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say

This okay, this alright
I got something that you gon' like

N: Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash

Chorus-
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And its you that I want

N: Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait

Promiscuous Girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

N: Promiscuous Boy
We're one in the same
So we don't gotta play games no more
