Disco 2000 de Pulp

La canción "Disco 2000" de Pulp es un clásico de los años 90 perteneciente al álbum "Different Class", un ícono del britpop y el indie rock británico. Esta pieza musical fue escrita por el líder de la banda, Jarvis Cocker, con una fecha de publicación en 1995.

En cuanto a la letra, la canción narra la historia de un amor juvenil no correspondido entre dos amigos, Jarvis y Deborah. Desde una perspectiva nostálgica, se relata cómo ambos crecieron juntos hasta que Deborah se casó con otra persona mientras Jarvis permanecía soltero. A pesar de sus sentimientos, nunca tuvieron la oportunidad de estar juntos románticamente.

El significado profundo detrás de "Disco 2000" reside en la exploración de la juventud perdida y las relaciones no realizadas. La canción refleja el paso del tiempo y cómo las decisiones tomadas en el pasado pueden moldear el presente. Además, aborda temas como la popularidad, los complejos adolescentes y la amistad desde una mirada introspectiva.

Con frases como "Oh deborah do you recall? / your house was very small" y su repetición del estribillo "I said let's all meet up in the year 2000", se crea una atmósfera melancólica que evoca recuerdos lejanos y un deseo imposible por revivir aquellos momentos compartidos.

Jarvis Cocker logra transmitir nostalgia, arrepentimiento y resignación a través de metáforas cotidianas y simples descripciones visuales. La canción captura ese sentimiento común de mirar atrás en el tiempo y preguntarse qué hubiera sucedido si las cosas hubieran sido diferentes.

En resumen, "Disco 2000" es más que una simple canción pop; es un retrato emotivo sobre las elecciones que hacemos en nuestra juventud y cómo éstas pueden resonar a lo largo del tiempo. Con su estilo característico y letras profundas, Pulp logra conectar con la audiencia a través de esta historia atemporal sobre el amor no correspondido.

Well we were born within one hour of each other.
our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
your name is deborah, deborah.
it never suited ya.
oh they thought that when we grew up,
we'd get married, and never split up.
we never did it, although often i thought of it.
Oh deborah, do you recall?
your house was very small,
with wood chip on the wall.
when i came around to call,
you didn't notice me at all.
I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
i never knew that you'd get married.
i would be living down here on my own on
that damp and lonely thursday years ago.
You were the first girl at school to get breasts.
martyn said that yours were the best.
the boys all loved you but i was a mess.
i had to watch them trying to get you undressed.
we were friends but that was as far as it went.
i used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,
oh it meant nothing to you,
cos you were so popular.
Deborah do you recall?
your house was very small,
with woodchip on the wall.
when i came around to call,
you didn't notice me at all.
I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
i never knew that you'd get married.
i would be living down here on my own
on that damp and lonely thursday years ago.
Oh yeah,
oh yeah.
Ah do you recall?
your house was very small,
with wood chip on the wall.
when i came around to call,
you didn't notice me at all.
I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
i never knew that you'd get married.
i would be living down here on my own,
on that damp and lonely thursday years ago.
