Newell, un caballero inglés

Newell, uno de los más populares poetas y jardineros en Reino Unido

Una de las razones por las que The Beatles continúan siendo motivo de adoración es porque piezas como “A Day in the Life”, “Eleanor Rigby” e “In My life” le otorgan al escucha una nostalgia por escenarios más imaginarios que reales y le acendran una melancolía por hechos no vividos sino soñados.

Esas emociones, que uno podría creer exclusivas de detonación por part de los Fab Four distinguen también a la obra de Martin Newell, un caballero inglés que no ha sabido jamás lo que es llegar al Top 200 de ventas (ni al Top 500), que edita sus álbumes y sencillos con un sigilo casi suicida y que, sin embargo, es uno de los poetas más leídos en el Reino Unido no porque sus hasta hoy nueve libros hayan sido best-sellers, sino porque sus textos —más cercanos al vodevil que a la academia— han aparecido regularmente en el diario The Independent.

Newell es uno de esos genios excéntricos que puede parecer oscuro porque pocos lo conocen, mas no porque su concepto sonoro sea inmarcesible o esté sólo dirigido a oídos curtidos por propuestas vanguardistas. Y es que este escritor, comediante y compositor con más de 50 años hace un pop que no niega sus raíces Beatles, pero que las ha enriquecido con una visión de cronista ora cínico, ora conmovido, que prefiere apuntar a sus filias con el guante de la música —incluso isabelina— en vez de gritar de manera estridente.

La discografía como solista de quien en la década de los 80 fue mitad del dueto The Cleaners from Venus, junto al ahora cronista y escritor Giles Smith, es parca si se piensa en álbumes: apenas siete redondos, mas ilimitada y difícil de poseer si se consideran sencillos en vinilo y cassettes (vía exclusiva de The Cleaners). Empero, el que esto escribe ha hallado en los los tiraderos de algunas discotiendas un par de grabaciones emblemáticas de Newell: The Greatest Living Englishman (Humbug, 1993) y The Off White Album (Humbug, 1995). El primero podría ser el álbum que los de Liverpool no llegaron a grabar después de Abbey Road. Producido por Andy Partridge, de XTC, que también se sentó detrás de la batería, el disco es una lección crepuscular, intimista, regocijante y orgullosamente británica de la vida adulta que con sorna se ajusta a su entorno: “Voy a casa para celebrar la Navidad en el suburbio,/ donde las luces de neón se ven doradas en la lluvia,/ en el plástico y en el cromo/ de aquellos que van hacia los suyos/ para cantar villancicos a la luz de velas eléctricas/. Es Navidad” (“Christmas in suburbia”). Con una envidiable capacidad para resumir no el mundo, sino la visión de él en tres minutos, The Greatest... es uno de esos artefactos pop que puede hacer feliz lo mismo al escucha de Paul McCartney que de Robyn Hitchcock o Syd Barrett.

Por su parte, The Off White Album se antoja ideal para escuchar en una campiña cobijada por un cielo blanquecino que inste a prender una fogata para escuchar esas canciones acerca de simpáticos bribones (“The World of Dandy Leigh”), de la melancolía por los años juveniles que se esfumaron sin tener conciencia de ello (“Arcadian Boys”), del amor por un mujer a quien los años no hacen mella (“Ursula in a Waiting Room”) y de la inutilidad de un simple cantante frente a la belleza (“Queen Phyllis of Colchester”, que es una prolongación emocional y melódica de “While my Guitar Gently Weeps” de George Harrison).
Mas si la búsqueda en los racks de ofertas resulta inútil y se tienen algunos billetes para adquirir música pop que ennoblezca las neuronas, en el sitio de Martin Newell está el acceso a un territorio que vive sólo en la cabeza de Martin Newell pero que a más de uno le resultará entrañablemente familiar.
