2025 - MATADOR RECORDS
Ens arriba el nou i excel·lent single de l'àlbum titulat Who is the Sky?, que sortirà el pròxim dia cinc de setembre.
Musicalment, recorda el període Little Creatures dels Talking Heads , amb aquest sabor folk, caribeny i també coral amb el protagonísme destacat de les cordes i del metall.
Byrne sobre la lletra:
“Someone I know said, ‘David, you use the word “everybody” a lot.’ I suppose I do that to give an anthropological view of life in New York as we know it. Everybody lives, dies, laughs, cries, sleeps and stares at the ceiling. Everybody’s wearing everybody else’s shoes, which not everybody does, but I have done. I tried to sing about these things that could be seen as negative in a way balanced by an uplifting feeling from the groove and the melody, especially at the end, when St. Vincent and I are doing a lot of hollering and singing together.
LLETRA
Everybody laughs and everybody cries
Everybody lives and everybody dies
Everybody eats and everybody loves
Everybody knows what everybody does
Everybody's going through the changes
Every complication
What you say with gesture and expression
In my imagination
Every mobile phone in every restaurant
Everyone we know, and everything you want
Everybody wonders what ya gonna do
Everything is closer, everything is true
Everybody's startin' everything again
Everybody's outside, now they're comin' in
Everybody's goin' through the garbage
Lookin' for inspiration
Some will find it starin' at the ceiling
Of the subway station
Everyone you love in every kind of way
Everything you know in every single face
Every change of heart and every saving grace
Every song we sing in every kind of place
Everybody looks and everybody sees
Everybody's askin' everybody please
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Everybody's goin' everywhere at once
Everybody's backside, everybody's front
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Hey, hey-hey-hey
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Everybody dances, everybody stops
Everybody wants what everybody's got
Everybody wonders what ya gonna do
Everybody's wearing everybody's shoes
"Feel good" single de Byrne, buscant la complicitat de la gent corrent, en la línia del Shiny Happy People de REM. Todo el mundo es bueno. Excel·lents arranjaments però molt MTV per al meu gust. Un David Byrne més jove s'hauria preguntat: Well, how did I get here?
ResponEliminaEvidentment no arriba al nivell de Shiny Happy People , però té la seva qualitat i això de molt MTV a mi no em molesta, crec que és un bon clip.
EliminaSigo por vuestro mismo camino, o eso creo. Me gusta más el vídeo que la canción, sin ser esta mala. Me demuestra también que el amigo Byrne se decantó hace ya mucho tiempo por ser un artista "multidisciplinar", lo cual va mucho con el espíritu de una ciudad como Nueva York.
ResponEliminaTienen gracia las imágenes de la gente apegada al móvil sin apenas comunicarse, hasta que un "patoso" choca contra alguna persona. Este hecho lo vivimos día a día, sin remedio.
Saludos,
Javier , me ha gustado esta expresión "multidisciplinar" la encuentro muy acertada y puede , como comentas, que el vídeo sea mejor que la canción, seguramente lo es.
