Veronica
E.Kitamura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Sabes qué tesoros colecciona?
Un pedazo del espacio del tamaño de un botón
Instantáneas del Big Bang antes del Bang
Un chaleco antibalas para Ramsés segundo
El caballo de Troya y un retrato de Nadie
La visa rechazada de Cristóbal Colón
Ácido desoxirribonucleico del primero que se puso ropa fuera de moda
¿Sabes dónde queda la casa de Verónica?
¿Sabías que recorre el mundo encontrando imposibles?
Mueres y no sabes a quién llamar
Ella escucha tus mensajes, esconde tus secretos
Acaba tus memorias, guarda lo demás
El código rupestre que dio luz a internet
El traje de astronauta que Dédalo tejió
La declaración de renta de Genghis Khan
La bala perdida que dio origen a la vida
Guarda, guarda, cada historia es realidad
Guarda solo aquello que no muere
Guarda aún cuando es hora de olvidar
Guarda incluso el tiempo que no tiene
La almohada de Dalí
Retazos de Ozono
El discurso de Incitato que inspiró la democracia
Un yo-yo del 68 que no puedes dormir
Una piedra extraterrestre en el zapato de Neil Armstrong
Guarda, guarda, cada historia es realidad
Guarda solo aquello que no muere
Guarda aún cuando es hora de olvidar
Guarda incluso el tiempo que no tiene
Equipos de silencio, un misil de gasolina
Huellas de mi sombra una noche en el Sol
Poemas en aretes, un beso en un labial
Trajes para bobos, jarabes para amar
The lyrics of E. Kitamura's song "Veronica" speak about the mysterious and eclectic collection of a person named Veronica. The lyrics pose a series of questions, asking if the listener knows what treasures Veronica collects in her room and if they know where her house is located. The song suggests that Veronica collects unique and extraordinary items, such as a piece of space the size of a button, snapshots of the Big Bang before it occurred, a bulletproof vest for Ramses II, the Trojan Horse, and a portrait of Nobody. It also mentions rejected visa application of Christopher Columbus, travel brochures by Marco Polo, and the DNA of the first person who wore outdated clothing.
The second verse of the song emphasizes Veronica's ability to help others. When someone dies and doesn't know who to call, Veronica listens to their messages, hides their secrets, finishes their memories, and keeps everything else. The song also mentions various items like the cave paintings that led to the creation of the internet, the astronaut suit made by Daedalus, the tax return of Genghis Khan, and the stray bullet that gave birth to life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Veronica" celebrate the idea of preserving and cherishing memories, even when it's time to forget. The song suggests that every story is a reality and encourages the listener to keep only what doesn't die, even including time itself.

I’ve used one professionally for many years. One of the most ergonomic cameras I’ve ever used. A tip to avoid the winder tightness issue: use Fuji spools with Fujifilm, Kodak spools with Kodak film, and try to avoid cross mixing film spools.

@Reuben I paid almost $600 to have it repaired. I paid that much because they were selling for $1000 at the time. Used it for about a year. then sold it for $300.
Should have sold it for parts instead of having it repaired.
Live and learn.
Reuben
@Scott Paris so what happened?
Gordon Moat
@andrewTAZ30 Where you process, or purchase film, ask for an extra spool. If you cannot find help that way, you will need to buy two rolls to start, and unroll one to get a spool. Try to get spools returned to you, any place you use to get your film developed.
andrewTAZ30
Where does one find these different spools for the different film brands?
Scott Paris
@Gordon Moat Thanks for the Camera Rescue suggestion. I'll ask them.

Really enjoyed learning about the history behind Bronica. I really dig your longer videos that include more history and stories behind the camera/brands.

This video was one of the videos that inspired me to bite the bullet and buy one. I have other larger medium format cameras and stuff that is technically maybe a better deal (eg the Mamiya 6) exist but I had to have Bronica's swan song. It really is a lovely camera. Extremely sharp high quality. I even managed to nab the 100mm lens (not cheap but not a complete ripoff) and love it tla heck of a lot. A shame that if it breaks I'm screwed but here's to hoping for many years of good times ahead.
Thanks for this video!

Easily the best video you've made this far, hope you can keep up this level of quality and interesting info Bellamy

Llevo casi una década queriendo comprar una de estas, pero me sigue inquietando que sea difícil de reparar. Tal vez un día de estos supere ese temor.
