Do you remember how we looked that night when your sister took us for a ride? She was amazed by her brand new car, and we both laughed with our secret jokes. It’ll never be the same if you’re by my side. That’s what you said for a long long time. And today I’ve seen you fooling around with a little kid who still holds your hand. How I’ve wished to be him for a while, until I’ve seen your husband’s car. It’ll never be the same if you’re by my side. That’s what you said for a long long time. It’ll never be the same, that’s what I thought, I don’t understand, oh, no, where my love has gone. Remember how we used to be envied by everyone who came around. It’ll never be the same if you’re by my side. That’s what you said for a long long time. It’ll never be the same, that’s what I thought, I don’t understand, oh, no, where my love has gone.

You always say I’m wrong, you say you are the last one who can understand the words. You were strong enough, strong enough to live in this kind of world where we belong. Someday your mind will blow away, your eyes will show nothing but despair, your God will turn your troubles into miracles. At least that’s what you said. At least that’s what you said. I really love to talk about how many unfortunate people we have known. Remember when you explain how you lose your time when you were living a few miles away. Someday your mind will blow away, your eyes will show nothing but despair, your God will turn your troubles into miracles. At least that’s what you said. At least that’s what you said.

Lover, bring me down to a place where no one dies. Lover, what can I do if I want to get rid of you? Don’t forget to bring some flowers on the anniversary, don’t forget to write a letter to everyone you have deceived. Lover, what do you think? Do you love the way it looks on me? Lover, I could see us laughing about this for years. I don’t know if I’m unhappy just because you’re not here, I don’t know if I’m not happy just because I’m not free. Lover! Lover! Lover, shut your eyes so everything will go black. Lover, have you seen anybody who looks on me? Don’t forget to bring some flowers on the anniversary, don’t forget to write a letter to everyone you have deceived. I don’t know if I’m unhappy just because you’re not here, I don’t know if I’m not happy just because I’m not free.

You can build the most horrible things, but I love you, I will love you like I love you. You can destroy everyone who has some joy but I love you, I will love you like I love you. All the people I’ve met have something to regret, and if you hurt my friends, I know that’s your game but I love you, I will love you like I love you. You can pretend to murder me again but I love you, I will love you like I love you. And you can sleep with ten thousand million kids but I love you, I will love you like I love you. All the people I’ve met have something to regret, and if you hurt my friends, I know that’s your game but I love you, I will love you like I love you. You can fly with your powers and get so high but I love you, I will love you like I love you. And I love I will love you like I love you.

Silent James, alter ego del cantante y compositor Jaume Benedito, suma ya con su debut del año pasado, "Someday I'll write a nice love story", y con este reciente "What do you want to be when you grow up", dos guaridas atravesadas por preciosas canciones de pop esbelto y evocador. Acogedores habitaciones desde donde cada uno juega a filtrar sus propios recuerdos: amores, viejos amigos, despedidas a seres queridos, destellos de ciudades fabulosas, jocosas reflexiones sobre nuestra mundana existencia…Un catálogo de intensidades que el músico barcelonés despacha con la misma elegancia del que sabe que las luces brillan diferente desde la ventana de un taxi.
Por eso, es reconfortante aceptar el tacto cálido de composiciones recientes como "Oh, Tokyo!", "King of Spain", " I'd love to see your friends tonight" o "It'll never be the same". Partituras hiladas con la habilidad de un admirador de las baladas y medios tiempos de los Jacobites, del cancionero de Lloyd Cole, Roddy Frame, Edwyn Collins, Fiona Apple, Angel Olsen, Neil Hannon y tantos ilustres caballeros y damas que suman esfuerzos para seguir haciéndonos creer que una buena melodía es un hermoso talismán. Y si nos agarramos a esa "máxima", abrazaremos el actual "What do you want to be when you grow up", con sus apasionados arreglos de cuerda, esa voz de crooner convencido y unos versos que saben equilibrar cuestiones sentimentales con sensibilidad, pero también una vitalista ironía. (Dimas Rodríguez)
