El sábado pasado, en el festival DCODE que se celebró en la Ciudad Universitaria de Madrid, entre los grupos que tocaban, alguno de ellos con muy famosos y con muchos seguidores (Imagine Dragons, Izal), estaba Bastille. Yo había escuchado dos o tres canciones suyas y la verdad es que en directo suenan muy bien.
En lo que respecta a la canción, es el típico tema que tiene un gran estribillo y un par de acordes que son pegadizos, de esas piezas que te gusta cantar y bailar a la vez. Una de esas canciones que se te quedan en la cabeza durante días...Como siempre, pongo unos vídeos y la letra después...But if you close your eyes...
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
I was left
to my own devices
Many days
fell away with nothing to show
And the
walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great
clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I
going to be an optimist about this?
How am I
going to be an optimist about this?
We were
caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your
pose as the dust settled around us
And the
walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Great
clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I
going to be an optimist about this?
How am I
going to be an optimist about this?
Oh, where
do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh, where
do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the
walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where
do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Great
clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where
do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
But if you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I
going to be an optimist about this?
How am I
going to be an optimist about this?
If you
close your eyes
Does it
almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eh, eheu,
eheu
Eh, eheu,
eheu
Eh, eheu,
eheu
Eh, eheu,
eheu
Eh, eheu,
eheu
Eh, eheu,
eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
