A TENTH OF SECOND (ANTONIO VEGA) AND PHYSICS.

Rather than ConScienceLiterature, we open a new section which should be called “Music with Science”.

If someone had sung me “ Physics is a pleasure” in the summer of 1995´ I would have  given a hard punch on his mouth. At that time I was studying the subject Mechanics and Thermology for the September exams.

One moment in a diary,

one tenth of a second more.

It flies,  jumping from page to page,

one billion instants to talk about.

A gust of cold wind

makes a mill twist.

It keeps on rolling around its axis

describing one more trajectory.

Nothing better than imagining,

physics is a pleasure.

Nothing better than formulating,

listening and hearing at the same time.

Measure the angle between you and me,

It´s the solution to something very common here.

Now do not stop talking,

we are coordinates of a pair.

Unknown that we still have to isolate.

Look for a book that says “how”,

then another with the tittle “ if”,

a third one named “nothing”,

it is the shape of an endless circle.

Nothing better than stirring

time with coffee.

Nothing better than composing

with no guitar or paper.

Parallels are following me.

Space and time are playing chess.

Now do not stop talking.

We all know that a song is not like a poem, but I like the lines “parallels are following me” and “space and time are playing chess”. There is another cover of this song posted below sung by Miguel Ríos and Antonio Vega. And in this one, Antonio Vega looks very young and healthy, he looks like an apprentice bullfighter.

I like to see pictures of people when they were young and at their best moment before getting ruined. For instance, the rocker Silvio or even Belén Esteban.

There are many other covers of this song, among them, one sung by Bumbury that reminds me of my brother, because my brother sings like Bumbury very well. My brother would also sing like Guns and Roses and Camilo Sesto, and there were some proving that but they have disappeared mysteriously. Once, my brother let me play the harmonica while he was singing and we played an unforgettable blues
