No tardis, Jack (part. Coral del CEC i Esquirols)

The song 'No tardis, Jack' by Coral Sant Jordi, featuring Coral del CEC i Esquirols, is a poignant reflection on loss, memory, and the hope of reunion in the afterlife. The lyrics, sung in Catalan, evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for friends and loved ones who have passed away. The opening lines question the need for sorrow when the heart is content, suggesting a sense of acceptance and peace with the inevitable passage of time and the departure of loved ones.

The song continues to ponder the fate of dear friends and their children, who have embarked on the 'long journey' to a place of eternal rest. This journey is metaphorically described as leaving behind the 'fields of cotton,' a possible reference to a life of labor and hardship. The imagery of 'the country of great rest' and the voices singing 'No tardis, Jack!' (Don't be late, Jack!) creates a serene and almost inviting picture of the afterlife, where the departed await the arrival of those still living.

The repeated call of 'No tardis, Jack!' serves as a comforting reminder that the separation is temporary and that there is a promise of reunion. The song's melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the universal human experience of mourning and the desire for eternal connection with those we have lost. The collaboration with Coral del CEC i Esquirols adds a rich, choral depth to the piece, enhancing its emotional resonance and making it a touching tribute to the enduring bonds of friendship and love beyond death.
