I still don't know what is a birmingham (see my previous post). I've searched on the internet and found these explanations :

1. A city of central England northwest of London. It is a major industrial center and transportation hub. Population: 1,012,351. Yep, I know. I've been there, trapped in a traffic jam.
2. A city of north-central Alabama northeast of Tuscaloosa. The largest city in the state, it is in a mining and industrial region. Population: 265,968. Never been there. It sounds like the British so you won't see me near it!


So I don't see why the broken hearted cowboy in the song wants the artist to paint him a birmingham! An industrial city?? Anyway.... you can hear a sample of the song here and the lyrics there.


The birmingham was kind of amusing, but then it got hysterical with 'American Soldier'. Again, a sample of this beautiful and enlightening song to be found here. A sample, only a few seconds. You will have enough, believe me. If anybody is keen enough to read the American Soldier lyrics, here you have them!


Aun no se lo que es un birmingham (ver my post anterior). He buscado en internet y aqui estan las definiciones que he encontrado :


1. Ciudad situada en el centro de Inglaterra, al noroeste de Londes. Centro industrial y arteria de transporte. Poblacion : 1,0212,351. Ya lo se, ya. He estado alli, en medio de un atasco y caos circulatorio...
2. Ciudad situada al centro-norte de Alabama, noroeste de Tuscaloosa. La mayor ciudad del estado, ubicada en una region minera e industrial. Poblacion : 265, 968. Aqui no he estado nunca. Suena como la britanica, asi que no me vereis alli ni en pintura!


Entonces, si hablamos de ciudades industriales y mineras, por que carajo el cowboy con el corazon roto de la cancion le pide al artista que le pinte un birmingham? Dejemoslo estar.... pero por si acaso, podeis oir un pedacito de la cancion aqui y la letra aqui.


El birmingham era asi como gracioso de escuchar, pero entonces la cosa se puso de risa histerica total con 'American Soldier'. Unas notas de esta bella e inspiracional cancion las teneis aqui Solo unos segunditos de cancion, de verdad. No necesitareis mas. Y si alguien quiere dar sentido a su vida leyendo la letra,aqui la teneis!
