"Another Day of Sun" de Justin Hurwitz (La La Land)

Hoy es viernes y toca canción. Concretamente "Another Day of Sun" perteneciente a la banda sonora del peliculón del año: "La La Land". Otras veces he puesto canciones asociadas a películas, pero creo que es la primera ocasión en la que la película es actual.

Se trata de la canción del número inicial de la película, en el que en pleno atasco todos los conductores salen de sus automóviles y se ponen a danzar y a cantar. La canción fue compuesta por Justin Hurwitz con letra de Benj Pasek y Justin Paul, y la coreografía de Mandy Moore.

Ya dije por aquí que no me gustan los musicales, pero éste me cautivó desde ese número inicial. No sé si seré yo que he cambiado, la música que me enganchó o que la historia es sencillamente fantástica, pero el resultado es que la película me encanta. Tanto que la he visto recientemente por segunda vez y las sensaciones han sido las mismas que en la primera ocasión.

Como es habitual, pongo vídeos de la canción (entre ellos el remedo que hizo Jimmy Fallon en los Globos de Oro) y luego la letra. Disfrutadla, que es otro día de Sol...

"Another Day Of Sun"

[First Girl:]
Ba-ba-da-ba da-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba-da-ba-da-ba
Ba-ba-ba ba

[First Girl:]
I think about that day
I left him at a Greyhound station
West of Santa Fé

We were seventeen, but he was sweet and it was true
Still I did what I had to do
'Cause I just knew

Summer: Sunday nights
We'd sink into our seats
Right as they dimmed out all the lights
A Technicolor world made out of music and machine
It called me to be on that screen
And live inside each scene

[First Girl & First Man:]
Without a nickel to my name
Hopped a bus, here I came
Could be brave or just insane

[First Girl, First Man & Second Man:]
We'll have to see

[First Girl:]
'Cause maybe in that sleepy town
He'll sit one day, the lights are down
He'll see my face and think of how he...

[First Girl, First Man, Second Man & Dancers:]
...used to know me

[All:]
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun

[Young Man:]
I hear 'em ev'ry day
The rhythms in the canyons
That'll never fade away
The ballads in the barrooms
Left by those who came before
They say "you gotta want it more"
So I bang on ev'ry door

[Second Girl:]
And even when the answer's "no"
Or when my money's running low
The dusty mic and neon glow
Are all I need

[Young Man:]
And someday as I sing my song
A small-town kid'll come along

[Second Girl & Young Man:]
That'll be the thing to push him on and go go

[All:]
Climb these hills
I'm reaching for the heights
And chasing all the lights that shine
And when they let you down
You'll get up off the ground
'Cause morning rolls around
And it's another day of sun

[Instrumental Break]

[First Girl:]
And when they let you down
The morning rolls around

[All:]
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Just another day of sun
It's another day of sun
Another day has just begun
It's another day of sun

It's another day of sun
