Es una cancion triste, de amores que ya no existen, de voltear atras y ver que no se logro nada; de frustaciones no corregidas, de tiempos en que se queria ser mejor de lo que se es...y solo estar preparado para, como dice la cancion, "el desfile final".
Cat Power es una cantante gringa, pujante diria yo, que sorprendentemente canta hermoso una melodia llamada "THE GREATEST", con sentimiento, con una voz triste, que no alcanza las notas altas y que se disfruta oyendo como lo intenta, pareceria que esta punto del llanto, pero nunca llegando a el, y resultando la melodia en una constante tension a punto de reventar pero siempre saliendo de ella, con esa voz tranquila,susurrante y en todo momento lastimosa, triste y bella: e inteligentemente, se desarrollo la musica, que la complementa bastante bien, alrededor de la voz y ese tono tan melacolico, que siempre me recordara esos dias en que todo era frio, sin sol y sin esperanza.
THE GREATEST
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
Melt me down
To big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
That corporate slob
Make a watch
For a space in town
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
Lower me down
In the end
Secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two faced, sad little rock
When things I couldn't explain
Any feelings
Lower me down
In the end
Secure the grounds
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
Melt me down
To big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
That corporate slob
Make a watch
For a space in town
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
Lower me down
In the end
Secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two faced, sad little rock
When things I couldn't explain
Any feelings
Lower me down
In the end
Secure the grounds
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust
