Think Too Much (a) They say that the left side of the brain Controls the right They say that the right side Has to work hard all night Maybe I think too much for my own good Some people say so Other people say "No, no The fact is you don't think as much as you could." I had a childhood that was mercifully brief I grew up in a state of disbelief I started to think too much When I was twelve going on thirteen Me and girls from Saint Augustine up in the mezzanine Thinking about God, yeah Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Have you ever experienced a period of grace When your brain just takes a seat behind your face And the world begins the elephant dance Everything's funny Everyone's sunny You take out your money Walk down the road That leads me to the girl I love The girl I'm always thinking of But maybe I think too much And I ought to just hold her Stop trying to mold her Maybe blindfold her And take her away Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Maybe I think too much Ver traducción en Español Guitarra eléctrica: Nile Rodgers Bajo: Bernard Edwards Batería: Steve Ferrone Synclavier: Tom Coppola © 1982 Paul Simon (BMI) Disco: Hearts And Bones Comentarios: El tema fundamental es idéntico al de la versión (b) aunque aquí se añade una reflexión sobre la imprudencia de intentar modelar a otra persona a nuestra conveniencia. Sobre ambas versiones de la canción Paul comentó: "...la primera tiene un tempo rápido y cuando la cabé me dijé: quizás he tratado el tema un poco a la ligera. Y entonce me dí cuenta que era divertido porque precisamente de éso trata la canción, de pensar demasiado...es simplemente un ejemplo de no dejar las cosas tal cual y pensarlas demasiado. Por eso escribí dos canciones. Pero son completamente distintas...una, la rápida, es como una broma, como reirte al darte cuenta de que piensas demasiado. Cuando la acabé pensé que quizás no fuera una cosa para tomársela a risa...quizás la cuestión es que en realidad pienso demasiado y no he sido capaz de expresarlo adecuadamente. Y la prueba es que he escrito una canción en plan de broma sobre un tema serio. Así que escribí otra canción con el mismo tema. Son dos maneras diferentes de abordar un mismo asunto". En este tema intervienen Nile Rodgers y Bernard Edwards del grupo Chic. Discografía - Pagina Principal
