Time exists but just on your wrist, so don’t panic

I’ve got a good feeling
Like I know how I’m feeling

And what’s a wonderwall anyway?

Today is the day
But only for the first time
I hope it’s not the last time

Oh look there goes another year,
About as distant as a satellite

Home and away
Life goes on the same, we bury the pain
And hold on to love

Friends
Will never desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won’t love you and leave you
To mend the fence

Oh, why did we wait so long?

Until we’re gone, we’re moving on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on

No regret
Don’t you forget this magnificent time
Seize the day
Don’t throw away this magnificent time

Oh but I saw a ghost
In the mirror coming near
A little close for comfort tonight
He said
“It’s easier to be alive
Than hide under your pillow
While your life is passing you by”

I wanna know what everybody wants to know
Oh, won’t you tell me what everybody wants to know?

I thought it was just us
Waiting on this bus

We are alive, we are alive
And as long as we are breathing, we can keep this dream alight

Hola. Supongo que hablas del concierto en CDMX, el 14 de octubre, ¿cierto? Porque hay otras 2 fechas antes en otros estados, y está más complicado reunirse ahí. Me gustaría participar, pero voy también a Querétaro y Monterrey, y no sé si me den los tiempos 😕. De cualquier forma, espero que logres tener mucha participación, a veces siento que es un poco difícil ponernos de acuerdo los fans mexicanos, jeje.

Hey Neil! Exciting news! Can’t wait to hear the new stuff you have for us 😀. Xx

[almond]

I totally forgot about Juanes, but he’s great for listening. “A Dios le pido” was my go-to for understanding one of the uses of subjunctive mood.

No problem! Maybe one day we will chat about Travis in Spanish 😉

I used to be a Spanish as a foreign language teacher, and I agree that listening to music helps a lot. I had a long repertoire back then, but I guess it needs to be updated, hehe.

I would recommend to you “Me gustas tú” de Manu Chao, very basic, just to get used to how the verb “gustar” works in Spanish. “Nadie como tú” de Calle 13 may not be your cup of tea, but it has tons of useful vocabulary. “Eres” de Café Tacvba has pretty much all the verbs in present tense, so it works for a basic level. Other bands and singers that I would recommend even if you don’t get all the words are Soda Stereo, Gustavo Cerati y Fito Páez (Argentina); Fobia, Natalia Lafourcade, Santa Sabina, Torreblanca (México); Héroes del Silencio, Enrique Bunbury, Arde Bogotá, Vetusta Morla (Spain)… I mean, there’s a whole bunch, these are just to name a few. Hope it is useful for you 😊.

Uy, sí, es un problema encontrarlo ahora. Me parece que una fan de México (Erika) lo había descargado, aunque sin subtitulos :/. Yo lo compré hace muchos años en Vimeo y aún tengo acceso a todo, pero la verdad no he tenido tiempo de descargarlo de algún modo 🫢. Ojalá la banda pueda ponerlo disponible de nuevo en alguna plataforma 🙌

Me uno a la campaña: ¡no queremos show de medio tiempo en el fútbol! 😅

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Fran! 🥳 Have a fantastic one! Xx

¡Feliz cumpleaños, Fran! 🥳

In 2024, a few months before L.A. Times was released, and a few weeks before we could listen to Gaslight, Fran came to Mexico City for a solo gig to support one of his friends for the pop-up bar of Treasure Club. There was a meet-and-greet, and I was able to get a ticket. At some point Fran told us that something new was coming, and showed me some stills from the Gaslight video, and then he said “You didn’t hear anything from me”. Things like that are what makes him so adorable 🫶.

I just read about this on the news. I hope everything is ok. My thoughts are with you! Stay safe!

Hey Neil! I am looking forward to “Digger” from that Mexican guy who has directed very good movies – Alejandro González Iñarritu 🇲🇽. I really like his whole filmography, all the way to “Amores Perros”, his debut feature – if you haven’t see it, I totally recommend.

I recently watched “Origin”, based on the book “Caste: The Origins of our Discontents”, and is about how caste systems have shape human divisons, the foundation to racism and institucional opression. It unbelievable how the author finds interconnections between different regions and times regarding caste systems and how certain groups of people are treated (and mistreated) in that way. I think is a great films to understand our human history and why things are the way they are right now.

Yo también espero que se haga realidad ese enfrentamiento, jeje. Está medio difícil, pero ya casi se define todo.

Hola, Lucía, mucho gusto. Qué bonito que más fans de Uruguay se vayan sumando a este espacio.

[almond]

¡Hola, Gaba, bienvenida! No sabía que eres trabajadora social, qué lindo. Yo comencé a estudiar Trabajo Social como segunda carrera hace algunos años, pero por cosas de la vida nunca la terminé, es una deuda que tengo pendiente conmigo y con el mundo, jeje. Ojalá puedas volver muchas veces a México para ver a los chicos 🙌.
