Con sólo un álbum en el mercado (Sigh No More, 2009), este cuarteto londinense ha cardado la lana y se ha ganado merecidamente su lana. No hay como escuchar su single debut y descubrir la calidad de su música. Eso sí, no se han librado del puritanismo americano, que les obligó a retirar en algunas versiones para la radio la palabra fuck de su estribillo.
Me encanta el guitarreo inicial y esta estrofa: «Take all the courage you have left wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head«. Y es que como decía mi abuelo, lo más difícil en esta vida es llevarse bien con uno mismo y que nuestros propios demonios no nos machaquen.
Letra:
Weep for yourself, my man,
You’ll never be what is in your heart
Weep Little Lion Man,
You’re not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself,
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head[estribillo]
But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn’t I, my dear?
Didn’t I, my…Tremble for yourself, my man,
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble Little Lion Man,
You’ll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face,
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck[estribillo]
