Arcade Fire estrenan ‘The Lightning I, II’ y es tan espectacular como imaginábamos

Da igual las veces que nos hubieran avisado, Arcade Fire acaban de publicar un nuevo tema llamado ‘The Lightning I, II’ y tenemos los pelos de punta porque la banda canadiense no da puntada sin hilo y cada tema que publica es casi casi una obra de arte. Y sin el casi.

Lo nuevo de Arcade Fire es una maravilla de más de seis minutos, con dos tiempos claramente diferenciados, un mar en calma en el que se intuye una tormenta al fondo, relámpagos, el viento empieza a soplar, las olas comienzan a crecer y de repente estamos metidos en la tormenta que es la segunda parte de esta canción, un tema demoledor. Dale al play:

fourth place anthem playing

tonight

on a broken radio

thought WE reached

the mountaintop

but now

WE just feel so low

the sky is breaking open

WE keep hoping

in the distance WE’ll see a glow

lightning light our way

’til the black sky turns back to indigo

WE can make it if you

don’t quit on me

I won’t quit on you

don’t quit on me

WE can make it baby

please don’t quit on me

I won’t quit on you

don’t quit on me

I never quit on you

WE were born in paradise

beneath a poisoned sky

under a bad sign t

he micro-age of gemini

and WE are still unlearning

tires are burning

in the middle

of rodeo drive

you know that WE’ve

been beat down

and broken

but now

WE can testify

WE can make it

if you don’t quit on me

I won’t quit on you

don’t quit on me

WE can make it baby

please don’t quit on me

I won’t quit on you

don’t quit on me

I never quit on you

it’s not up to YOU s

ome you win, some you lose

when the lightning comes

YOU don’t get to choose

some you win

some you lose

when the lightning comes…

I heard the thunder

on a blue sky perfect day

I wonder why

am I the only one?

I heard the thunder

and I feel I’m going under

Jesus Christ

was an only son

a day, a week, a month, a year

a day, a week, a month, a year

every second brings me here

a day, a week, a month, a year

a day, a week, a month, a year

every second brings me here

waiting on the lightning

waiting on the lightning

waiting on the light

what will the light bring?

I heard the thunder and

I thought it was the answer

but I find

I got the question wrong

I was trying to run away

but a voice told me to stay

and put the feeling in a song

a day, a week, a month, a year

a day, a week, a month, a year

every second brings me here

a day, a week, a month, a year

a day, a week, a month, a year

every second brings me here

waiting on the lightning

waiting on the lightning

waiting on the light

what will the light bring?
