Matchbox Twenty – How Far We’ve Come [Recomendación]

La recomendación de esta semana viene de la mano de una muy buena amiga no-digital, es decir, de esas que conozco desde hace mucho tiempo y sin ordenadores de por medio. Le encanta la música y tenemos gustos parecidos (aunque algunos son de traca…. de hecho no pienso poner a esa artista que tú y yo sabemos 😉 ). Os dejo con Ainara:

¿Has escuchado How Far We’ve Come de Matchbox Twenty?. Es la canción que me pone las pilas todos los días a las horas intempestivas a las que me levanto. Prueba, ya verás cómo funciona

Pues tendré que probar… porque soy una dormilona de órdago y siempre llego tarde a trabajar :S

Curiosa la canción. Tiene un ritmo endiablado que te da un subidón… Sin embargo, la letra es catastrofista a más no poder.

Letra:

I’m waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but its feeling just like every morning before,
now I wonder what my life is going to mean if its gone,
the cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that
I started staring at the passengers waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time

[estribillo]
but I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we’re gonna find out
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come

Well I, believe, its all, coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we’re gonna pretend,
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come

I think its turning to a crock but I don’t really know
I can’t remember caring for an hour or so
started crying and I couldn’t stop myself
I started running but there was no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
said where you going you know the world is heading for hell
say your goodbyes if you’ve got someone you can say goodbye to

[estribillo]

Its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there’s no one at home
it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it’s over for me and it’s over for you
well its gone gone baby its all gone
there is no one on the corner and there’s no one at home
well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
now it’s over for me and it’s over for you

Matchbox Twenty – Bright Lights

Matchbox TwentyHay momentos en nuestras vidas en los que las luces brillantes nos ciegan y arrastran, casi nublando nuestra razón. Es entonces cuando aparecen las personas que intentan ponernos los pies en la tierra. Pero es difícil escucharlas con tanto canto de sirena. Sin duda, de esta canción me quedo con Some things you don’t leave until they leave you. Espero no tener que esperar a dejar cosas hasta que no me dejen a mí.

De Matchbox 20, pocas presentaciones hacen falta.

Letra:

She got out of town on the railway, new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway
Well, some things in this world you just cant change
Some things you can’t see until it gets too late

[estribillo]
Baby, baby, baby when all your love is gone
Who will save me from all I’m up against out in this world
And maybe, maybe, maybe
Youll find something thats enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don’t receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
in her apartment in the city
But some things in this world
Man, they dont make sense
Some things you don’t leave until they leave you
And then the things that you miss, you say

[estribillo]

Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down
For God sakes turn around

[estribillo]

Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Come on home
