Mis videos favoritos: Roxette "Stars"

Son realmente pocos los videos que me provocan bienestar emocional sólo con mirarlos. Uno de ellos es éste, del dúo australiano Roxette. Ver a Marie Fredriksson correr como desesperada detrás del hombre que ha elegido como ideal, con sendos ropajes y leerle la declaratoria me hace pensar que, como en el video y con un poco de esfuerzo, todo se consigue.

La espléndida fotografía en blanco y negro, el mensaje de búsqueda del amor, el toque (si acaso) cursi –pero encantador- de los niños haciendo coros ó los patos cantando, son una verdadera delicia y la conclusión es muy ‘de película de amor’. Bonito y emotivo, realmente.

You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
Wherever you go, I'm going with you
Shouldn't you know
I'm bound to follow

Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you

Why don't you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don't you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na
Wherever you go, I'm going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you
