Playlist of Latin American premieres #24/2021

Another interesting discussion took place in the newsroom. Someone decided, at lunchtime, to begin explaining their relationship with divine beliefs, and how it related to God and (as a timely cynic immediately pointed out) other fictional characters. Since it was mentioned so often in our conversations, we didn't bring it up again. The Arrow, Nor did we fall for the easy jokes about the garage churches that are unfortunately spreading through our neighborhoods, in a journalistic space where we love to see from time to time. The Last Temptation of Christ in Scorsese's version, Or we laugh, with the permission of the director of the media outlet, who is Jewish, at the jokes that Woody Allen and Mel Brooks make about rabbis, We sometimes prefer to avoid topics related to the afterlife or guilt in this life. But today the whole conversation came up because someone from the news department He thought it appropriate to express his gratitude for having survived, so far, everything that has happened to us during this time. No one pulled out a rosary or suggested kneeling down to say a few prayers. Instead, some said that what had sustained us all this time was our love for the songs. And perhaps, pushing the concept to strange limits, it was said that our religion was the same music. As the conversation became too serious, the most prudent of those present at the talk turned on the office stereo, and changed the prevailing atmosphere to everyone's delight., playing at a good volume Chocolate Jesus, by Tom Waits, whose translated lyrics read as follows:

I don't go to church on Sunday
I don't get down on my knees to pray.
I don't memorize the books of the Bible
I have my own special way.
From what little I know, Jesus loves me.
Maybe a little more.
I fall to my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store.
Well, it has to be a chocolate Jesus
It makes me feel good inside.
It has to be a chocolate Jesus
It leaves me satisfied.
Well, I don't want any Anna Zabba
I don't want any Almond Joy
There's nothing better.
Suitable for this boy
Well, that's the only thing
That can lift me up
Better than a gold cup
Just seeing a chocolate Jesus
It can satisfy my soul.
When times get tough
And there's whiskey in the shadows
It's best to wrap up your savior
Everything wrapped in cellophane/ Flows like a mud puddle
But it's okay/ Pour it over ice cream
For a nice 'parfait'.
Well, it has to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
It has to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me.
Well, it has to be a chocolate Jesus
It makes me feel good inside.
It has to be a chocolate Jesus
It leaves me satisfied.
