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 playAnd 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 dawnAnd 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 aroundAnd 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 woahI 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 dawnOh 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]
