Neon Bible

Interrumpimos la programación para hacer una pequeña reseña del penúltimo album comprado... En una calurosa mañana cayó 'por fin' la Biblia de Neón de Arcade Fire. Y qué bien suena. Pomposo y grandilocuente como se podría esperar, algo más guitarrero en ocasiones que su pasado más reciente, y con un libreto precioso. Y qué letras...
En el libro de Julián Ruiz contaba Chris Martin que fue gracias al primero que descubrió a estos canadienses. Bueno, pues ya tengo algo en común con Chris Martin...


INTERVENTION

King's taking back the throne
The people, they all grow
And choose what they want written on the stone
All quiet and alone

You can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of here
I know I wanna fight, I wanna die
Just tell me what to say

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope
Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone

Something in the air
The people they all sit and stare
And tell me what they point to tell me where
And tell me…

Who's gonna throw the very first stone?
Whose gonna re-set the bone?
Sitting with his head in a sling
I hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope

Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone

Sun, shine a light
Someone take me, teach me how to fly
And onto something for which I would die
But I just don't know what
And know I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me out of hear
You make it all concise and clear
You know I'm gonna fade

Working for the church while your family dies
Little baby sister gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a hope
Hear the soldiers groan
All quiet and alone
