The fossil record and folk songs (1)


Introduction to fossils, inspiring elements in popular songs.

Undoubtedly, song and poetry are two different genres, but share that both forms of expression have been designed to be recited in a rhythm, intonation and intentions very different to spoken discourse. They are also extraordinarily rich pool their effects, capable of influencing emotions and deep feelings of human receptors.
In December, the month that ends the year, time in which we often take stock of the status of many personal and collective projects, is when we have a more vivid perception of time, human scale, nothing comparable to geologic time, in which the unit of measurement is the millions of years ... The fossils are perhaps the most characteristic element that makes us awareness of time global and regional level and seniority of the ground we are standing.
scarce, to the almost absolute rarity, songs dealing with fossils, "but if any Hail" and today we begin the topic, presentádoos one of them is a song in my opinion, and I'm not an expert on the subject, I think of great formal beauty and conceptual. This is a habanera entitled " The Conch", conceived, composed and executed, far from the sea, now, by a group of musicians, called Boltaña Round who live and work, the Most time in his beloved Pyrenees in Huesca, on the ruins of an ancient sea during the Eocene, Upper Aragon, the territory in which here and there appear many fossilized evidence of the ancient marine environment, in which between 50 and 30 million years swarmed all kinds of marine organisms, typical of the geological time, some swimming or floating, others crawled or settled in their funds, constituting a multitude and diversity of marine creatures of all kinds making up complex ecological communities. Unfortunately for paleontologists and collectors, lithification of the sediment was only able to preserve a part of those who were parties mineralized, shells, shells and internal skeletons. In the Upper Aragon, the fossils most popular, being the most abundant and its deposits to be located near homes, are nummulites and shells.

The conch Lyrics: Manuel Domínguez. Music: Michael Sorrentino

forgotten in a box on the false * night I heard this roar sea. Far sones, flutter of memories the tide of time leads, brings back and carry. ... It was you, conch, obsession of my grandfather, -navigator dreams that he saw the sea. He swore that he wore the ocean inside. ... Many silences costs learn to listen!. How do not know or understand your mystery that a pastor and his grandson we keep the sea? How not know or believe him Grandpa, if I too am son of a people that sings Havana landlocked? ... screamed laughing -"...¡ If a fossil grandfather snail in millennia have not seen the sea! " He became serious, and then quietly got you into this box y así, caracola, te fuiste al desván. Nunca más quiso verte, -puso proa al olvido-, ni pegada a su oido te oyó cantar. Cuando el barco naufraga, cuando a pique va un sueño, al timón, el primero, se hunde su capitán. Tú le diste sirenas, caballitos y estrellas; yo un puñado de arena, ...y lo llamé "realidad". Hoy por Finally, shame on you, also I hear sirens, and to understand the lyrics: "Living is not enough, we dream!". .. Morning round and my window as I watch my children sleep in peace . What sea of \u200b\u200bdreams! Sail and good wind! ... -wave inland song from memory, no sea Havana .- ... Like you, conch, sings inside a distant sea. * False : loft few seconds of mp3 --- Concluding remarks. Although, initially, I got to believe the story narrating the song about the disillusionment grandfather pastor, led by unconsciousness informative teenage grandson , could be inspired by events which had occurred at some time and place concrete , Upper Aragon, I wanted to compare my hypothesis and, incidentally, satisfy my curiosity. I got in touch with Manuel Domínguez, the author of the lyrics of the song, to inquire about how right or wrong in my assumptions and informed me that "everything concerning events and characters that star in the cartoon that shows the song, though might be possible in worldof were totally fabricated, pure creation of his imagination. Go disappointment I got! ... but what can we do? And as the Italians say "non è E vero, è ben trovato!" Another "curiosity" of this beautiful song, which comes from "re-growth and evolution" by its author's creative, from a stanza was suppressed in a song above, entitled The Tella dolmen. This verse does not appear in the final version of the song, which initially helped conceive and eventually helped to be born, we want to show it and make it available here, it also stars a shell fossil : Tella dolmen Under sea in a shell resonates. Traveling from ancient tidal went the waves, leaving the ground. Bell fossil stone spiral, ancient and eternal spiral nana. lost seas singing in it, and later put the wind in offering below the dolmen, the dolmen of Tella.
