Etiqueta: Boat Beam

Llevo ya unos cuantos días sin ninguna energía. Es como si un vampiro me hubiera succionado hasta la última gota. Quizás esté cansada de escuchar cantos de sirenas que me llegan de múltiples lugares pero que no se concretan en nada. O quizás simplemente sea el agotamiento el que me hace escribir esto. Ahora bien… no sé si será agotamiento físico, mental o una mezcla de ambos.

Así que nada mejor que escuchar esta canción que «estrena» el segundo disco de Boat Beam: Reincarnation.

Os recomiendo ver con calma el videoclip, donde las tres componentes del grupo nos demuestran sus dotes para la interpretación haciendo un homenaje a la Ventana Indiscreta de Hitchcock.

Letra:

Savour their faces, they’re etched in your dreams
They will haunt you in slumber, the depths you have seen
They looked right back up at you with the lies in their teeth
There is poverty here and it’s bald and obscene

Turn down the soccer they can’t hear us having fun
I wouldn’t knock her, her face is on every coin
Bulging eyes and the boom of your wristwatch
Face down the bed, waiting for lift-of

[estribillo]
Sirens are lullabies
My limbs of driftwood
Islands of rather dies
than stay where no-one else would

Leave it alone it has sunk to the bone
Just be kind let them go to the bottom
Blindfold the blind, till they see paradise
As it shimmers there on the horizon

You can’t imagine me, fathomless scrutiny
Love grows too much with this distance
I heard a rumour when I was a school girl
and I have been running ever since

[estribillo]

Llevamos una semana de viejos éxitos así que hoy toca jóvenes promesas. Este trío, mezcla de nacionalidades (una americana, una australiana y una española) y buen gusto, sacó en abril su primer álbum: Puzzle Shapes (recomendable su escucha). Y es que el indie female power ha encontrado su año de despunte (esperemos que 2010 sea el de consagración). Os dejo con esas voces suaves acompañadas de violas y chelos. Una buena forma de relajarse antes de salir hoy 🙂 .

De la canción me quedo con Over-stimulated and under-motivated. You start a million things and never finish one of them. ¿A quién no le pasa?

Letra:

Half the world’s growing what keeps the rest going
A shot of something hot to show us what you got
Keep you on your toes increase the cortisol
It’s all there for the taking

Swallowing balloons, a powder tribute
To idleness and plenty, a letter to the gentry
From the tortoise to the hare, a catalyst accelerating
Let’s do business

Seek the rain Pauly
Seek the rain Pauly

Over-stimulated and under-motivated
You start a million things and never finish one of them
It’s a big commitment to ask for an opinion
When all our information is chosen with discretion
I felt absurd I had to tell the birds they couldn’t use the air
Planes are flying there
There’s not enough to go round, but it sounds like we’re just not slowing down

Seek the rain Pauly
(You were crying aloud, you were begging on your knees)
Seek the rain Pauly
(with your gold and coal and you’re barred now from the feast)

If you don’t get it before about eleven
The edges are blurry, no optimism purring
For high definition and just to be efficient
The chemical imbalance must be righted

We’ll work harder to open new markets
Divvy up the harvest, retain the luck they’re coveting
It’s so unbelievably cheap because we didn’t really pay for it

Seek the rain Pauly
(You were crying aloud you were begging on your knees)
(Right above the secrets of the earth)
Seek the rain Pauly
(With your gold and coal and you’re barred now from feast)
(Right above the secrets of the earth)
