Beatles & Murakami

I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair

I sat on a rug biding my time
drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
it's time for bed

She told me she worked
in the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
and crawled off to sleep in the bath

And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

Norwegian Wood · The Beatles

Una canción de domingos al sol.
Es la que dio título (en la version original y anglófila) al libro que aquí queda como "Tokio Blues".

Naoko lloraba en el libro cuando Reiko se la tocaba a la guitarra. A mi en cambio me recuerda a Midori, a esa noche con Watanabe.
La canción, el libro, los personajes, las estrofas, los ritmos, cada página resultan tremendamente cercanos, familiares, como si de alguna manera formaran parte de ti.

The Beatles y Haruki Murakami congenian bien.
