David Gray es uno de esos artistas con una carrera enorme sobre sus hombros (15 años intentando ganarse las lentejas con esto), a pesar de que en España no haya pegado nunca un despunte. Tengo muchas canciones suyas dentro de mi lista de preferidas. Sin embargo, me voy a quedar con este «The One I Love«, canción melancólica narrada desde la perspectiva de un soldado herido de muerte, pensando en su gran amor.
Letra:
Gonna close my eyes
Girl and watch you go
Running through this life darling
Like a field of snow
As the tracer glides
In it’s graceful arc
Send a little prayer out to ya
‘cross the falling darkTell the Repo man
And the stars above
That you’re the one I love
yeahPerfect summers night
Not a wind that breathes
Just the bullets whispering gentle
amongst the new green leaves
There’s things I might have said
Only wish I could
Now I’m leaking life faster
Than I’m leaking blood[estribillo]
Tell the repo man
And the stars above
That you’re the one I love
You’re the one I love
The one I loveDon’t see elysium
Don’t see no fiery hell
Just the lights up bright baby
In the bay hotel
Next wave coming in
Like an ocean roar
Won’t you take my hand darlin’
On that old dancefloorWe can twist and shout
Do the turtle dove
And you’re the one I love
You’re the one I love
The one I love
