Fin de semana lluvioso. No sé a vosotros, pero a mí el tiempo me condicionaba bastante el humor. Fijaos que uso un tiempo verbal pasado, porque acabo de encontrar el antídoto para la lluvia: una personita pequeña que ahora se pasea por mi vida y que con su sonrisa despeja todas las nubes y hace que salga el mejor de los arco-iris. Así que hoy toca canción optimista y que nos habla de la importancia de las cosas simples en nuestra vida.
Además esta melodía me recuerda a la banda sonora de CSI, no me preguntéis por qué. La cuestión es que ha sido el primer single del último disco de esta banda norteamericana. Os dejo con un vídeo estático, porque el videoclip oficial es muy gracioso pero la narración interfiere demasiado en la escucha de la canción:
Letra:
Well, this is just a simple song, to say what you done.
I told you about all those fears, and away they did run.
You sure must be strong,
And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.When I was just nine years old, I swear that I dreamt,
Your face on a football field, and a kiss that I kept, under my vest.
Apart from everything, but the heart in my chest.[estribillo]
I know that things can really get rough, When you go it alone.
Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough, and play like a stone.
Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical, as this little home.My life in an upturned boat, Marooned on a cliff.
You brought me a great big flood, and you gave me a lift.
Girl, what a gift.
Will you tell me with your tongue, and your breath was in my lungs, And we float up through the rift.[estribillo]
Well, this would be a simple song, to say what you done.
I told you about all those fears, and away they did run.
You sure must be strong,
When you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun.Remember walking a mile to your house, aglow in the dark?
I made a fumbling play for your heart, and the act struck a spark.
You wore a charm on the chain that I stole, especial for you.
Love’s such a delicate thing that we do, with nothing to prove,
Which I never knew.
