TWO SHOES-The Empire Cat

Hay muchos videos de mtb por la red. Y películas. Pero uno al que vuelvo una y otra vez, y siempre como si fuera la primera vez, es la toma final de la película "Season" de "The Collective".

Yo creo que es el mejor video de mtb. Las imágenes, los riders, el recorrido, y la música, esa música de The Empire Cat, con una letra que es un himno a la vida.

Para mi, musica e imagen se conjugan en una invitación perfecta a disfrutar de las pequeñas cosas, a dejar de lado los problemas, las preocupaciones y saborear esos momentos de diversión que todos sabemos que algún día pasarán, y que los sentiremos lejanos. Y recordarlos, será como volverlos a vivir.

Cuando lo encontré circulando por youtube, descubrí que la bicicleta de montaña no es sólo dar pedales. No es sólo entretenimiento, deporte, superación, retos, cansancio, aire libre, búsqueda, exploración,la bicicleta de montaña es,... sobre todo, ...libertad.

Libertad.

... And my eyes they’ve got some vision 

that can see through many lies

ah my eyes they look for better things 

the better things to see in life ...

Si señor

Os dejo también la letra de la canción

Two Shoes

---

One day one woman asked him
'what do you to survive?'
He said 'oh my dear listen here'
And this is what he cried

On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing
'dancing to be free'
My feet they're paying tribute to
The Bobby Marley legacy

My knees they've got some cuts and bruises
From skating all my days
When i'm skating with my friends
My troubles drift away

I say my legs they're wearing baggy pants
I like to move around
Cos getting down and jumping up
These are some good things that I found

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
Boom shak the empire be rising
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
Boom shak we making some lovin

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
Boom shak the greedy men running
Aeehhhiiiaaaaa
Boom shak got two shoes for dancin

My waist it's got a slinky belt
With a clip that's quick to open
Because loving is the sweetest thing
And from my waist it happen

And my stomachs got some tasty food
That's making me feel good
Cos sharing some meals is something
I wish the world could do

And my chest it wears a singlet
Ah my chest it beating proud
My chest suggest I am a man
That no institution can knock down
And around my neck is superstition

Hanging from a chain
Because i've got my gods but in the end
I make my own way

CHORUS

My mouth it's got a great big smile
That shows some great big teeth
To friends it brings a happiness
And to enemies it means defeat

And my eyes they've got some vision
That can see through many lies
Ah my eyes they look for better things
The better things to see in life

And my ears are wearing head phones
That do play my favourite songs
Not music i'm told to like
But the songs that make me dance along

Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing
'dancing to be free'
My feet they're paying tribute to
The bobby marley legacy
