Una de nuestras bandas de cabecera es, sin duda, Death Cab for Cutie, así que estamos celebrando desde hace meses su próximo disco ‘Asphalt Meadows’ previsto para el 16 de septiembre y del que ya hemos escuchado/disfrutado las alucinantes ‘Roman Candles’ y ‘Here To Forever’ y ahora nos toca hacer lo mismo con ‘Foxglove Through The Clearcut’, su nuevo adelanto que, como con los anteriores, muestra claramente lo bien que les ha sentado trabajar con el productor John Congleton. Ojalá pronto por nuestro país. Dale al play:
«Asphalt Meadows, nuestro décimo álbum, comenzó separadamente uno del otro durante un momento de gran incertidumbre. Se completó juntos durante sesiones alegres e inspiradoras con un nuevo amigo y productor, John Congleton»
there was a man who used to live by the ocean
but he never set foot in the sea
it made him nervous that the water was always in motion
and he feared the creatures who swam beneath
and when i asked him how he’d ended up there
above a world he would never know
he said he’d driven all the way across america
and when he got to the edge there was nowhere left to go
nowhere left to go
he said that nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains
as he quoted black kettle’s death song
the words drifting off into the emptiness
of this great land where we’ve never belonged
and while the frontiers are ever-expanding
our living rooms fall into disarray and
no one seems interested in fixing what they’ve broken t
hey just sweep the pieces into the bushes
and slip away and slowly slip away
and now he and i watch the foxglove grow through the clearcut
where a forest once grew high and wild f
or what is a funeral without flowers
and ten thousand tombstones reaching for the sky
reaching for the sky
