Noves músiques- BAT FOR LASHES

"The haunted Man" és el tercer disc de la Bat for Lashes, a qui  vaig descobrir  fa un parell d´anys amb la seva  cançó " Daniel"-.

Si ho mirem  fredament és molt més  difícil  fer  un bon disc pop que un de  blues, rock o folk.

Parlo de pop de qualitat, aquell que intenta no ser repetitiu, que  busca estructures més complexes, melodies entrebancades i una lírica que , sense deixar de ser immediata( essència pop), vol trobar diferents  tipus de sensualitat.

Aquesta  dona treballa bé les  cançons i fa uns  vídeos esplèndids.  A las pruebas me  remito...

                                                                 "Laura"

You say that they've all left you behind
Your heart broke when the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?

When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high
You can't cry
Put your glad rags on and let's sing along
To that lonely song

You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Ooh Laura, you're more than a superstar

And in this horror show
I've got to tell you so
Ooh Laura, you're more than a superstar

You say that you're stuck in a pale blue dream
And your tears feel hot on my bedsheets
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?

When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high
You can't cry
Put your glad rags on and let's sing along
To that lonely song

You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Ooh Laura, you're more than a superstar

You'll be famous for longer than them
Your name is tattooed on every boy's skin
Ooh Laura, you're more than a superstar

You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Ooh Laura, you're more than a superstar

And in this old horror show
I've got to let you know
Ooh Laura, you're more than a superstar
You're more than a superstar...

                                                  "All Your Gold"

Never see the big church steeple when I call you on the phone
Never feel the rush of angels, when we stay up late alone
Never whisper you a great love story, only scream and cry and moan
But you’re a good man, but you’re a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go
Oh, let go of the one who took all your gold

I get home and there’s a love note waiting
But only he is here tonight
And the words, the promises you’re making
Only echo all these lies
And for every sweet nothing you whisper
Why is goodbye my reply?
'Cos you’re a good man, 'cos you’re a good man
I keep telling myself to just let go

There was someone that I knew before
A heart from the past that I cannot forget
I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad
But now for you, I have nothing left of all my gold

Stare my heart blank, am I ever gonna let him go? Get my gold back
And today I was a dead girl walking, see the light burn through tears
Heard you say my name and get to talking of the love and all the fears
And you saw all the pain I was holding, and yet still you’d hold me near
'Cos you’re a good man, 'cos you’re a good man,
I keep telling myself to just let go

There was someone that I knew before,
A heart from the past, that I cannot forget
I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad
But now for you, I have nothing left

'Cos there was someone that I knew before
A heart from the past, that I cannot forget
I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad
But now for you, I have nothing left of all my gold
