Calvin Harris + Florence Welch – Sweet Nothing

Algunas arrancamos la semana hoy (es lo bueno de tener un día festivo «anómalo») y necesitamos mucha energía en formato musical. Además, los asiduos de este blog sabéis de mi debilidad por Florence Welch (useasé, la líder vocal de Florence + The Machine). Por tanto, el silencio de hoy estaba cantado (y nunca mejor dicho ;-)). Curiosa esta moda que se está implantando de grandes voces colaborando con DJs.

Por cierto, deciros que me he estrenado en «una docena de…» con una docena de canciones que no escuchaste en la radiofórmula durante 2012. Pronto caerá nueva docena musical :-).

Letra:

You took my heart and you held it in your mouth
And, with a word all my love came rushing out
And, every whisper, it’s the worst,
emptied out by a single word
There is a hollow in me now

[estribillo]
So I put my faith in something unknown
I’m living on such sweet nothing
But I’m trying to hope with nothing to hold
I’m living on such sweet nothing
And it’s hard to learn
And it’s hard to love
When you’re giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You’re giving me such sweet nothing

It isn’t easy for me to let it go
Cause
I’ve swallow every single word
And
Every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now

[estribillo]

And it’s not enough
To tell me that you care
When, we both know the words are empty air
You give me nothing
Nothing

Sweet Nothing

Florence + The Machine – Shake It Out

Vayan marcando en sus calendarios el 28 de Octubre con un color especial porque es el día en el que escucharemos el esperadísimo segundo álbum de Florence + The Machine (Ceremonials). No obstante, para que vayamos abriendo boca, nos ha adelantado dos singles: el que os traigo hoy y What the Water Gave Me (lo que me ha costado decidirme entre ambos para publicar hoy…).

Debo confesarlo: soy una fan absoluta de esta mujer. Su primer disco es tremendo y estas dos perlitas que nos ha dejado ver del segundo no desmerecen nada. Eso sí, no sé si os pasará a vosotros, pero empiezo a cansarme de la nueva moda que se ha instaurado de goteo de singles antes de sacar un álbum. Prefiero degustar los trabajos completos porque, cuando son buenas canciones las que adelantan, me quedo con ganas de más.

Letra:

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It’s always darkest before the dawn

And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I’m always dragging that horse around

And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I’m gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it’s always darkest before the dawn

[estribillo]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaah
And it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh woah

I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It’s always darkest before the dawn

[estribillo]

And given half the chance would
I take any of it back
It’s a final mess but it’s left me so empty
It’s always darkest before the dawn

Oh woah, oh woah…

And I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t
So here’s to drinks in the dark at the end of my road
And I’m ready to suffer and I’m ready to hope
It’s a shot in the dark and right at my throat
Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Well what the hell I’m gonna let it happen to me

[estribillo]

Florence + The Machine – Between Two Lungs

florence-and-the-machines-lungFlorence + The Machine es un proyecto de la joven cantante londinense Florence Welch, un animal de escenario con una voz negra poderosa y una energía desbordante.

Esta melodía que combina todo tipo de instrumentos con un estilo elegante y exquisito, está dentro de su disco de debut: Lungs (2009). Me hizo mucha gracia cuando leí una entrevista a Florence en la que comentaba que «compone sus mejores temas cuando está borracha o resacosa; es entonces cuando la música libre y asilvestrada aparece«. Habrá que probar hoy domingo a componer algo 😉

Letra:

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that captured me
The sigh that blew me forward

Cause it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming
«We are all too young to die»

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs
It was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept

Cause it was trapped
Tapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

Now all the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath
And I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest
With all my might
I pray to God this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I…

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
