First Aid Kit - Emmylou


-Canción: Emmylou

-Artista: First Aid Kit

-Álbum: The Lion´s Roar

-Año: 2012

-La conocí por: siempre peinando el emergente panorama sueco y nórdico en general :)

-Me gusta por: desde Suecia llegan las hermanas Söderberg, de 18 y 21 años. Muy inspiradas en el folk actual de Fleet Foxes, acaban de sacar este discazo con este segundo single. Es sencilla, es delicada y es una preciosa canción. Muy fácil de escuchar y muy difícil de sacar de la cabeza, da gusto que hoy en día se siga haciendo música de este estilo, purismo y calidad :)

-Una frase:

I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
And you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

-Momento perfecto para escucharla: con estos primeros rayos de sol de primavera, que todo aquel que me haya leido durante este tiempo, sabe que me encantan :)

-El videoclip trata de: aparecen ellas, en un paisaje campestre (que dudo mucho que sea su Suecia). Es más visual que simbólico.

-La letra:

Oh the bitter winds are coming in,
And I’m already missing the summer.
Stockholm's cold but I’ve been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather.
When it’s you I find like a ghost in my mind,
I'm defeated and I gladly wear the crown.


I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
And you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
No, I’m not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me.


So much I know, that things just don’t grow
If you don’t bless them with your patience.
And I’ve been there before, I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise.
But I’m holding back,
That’s the strength that I lack,


Every morning keeps returning at my window.
And it brings me to you,
And I won't just pass through,
But I’m not asking for a storm.


I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
And you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
You know I’m not asking much of you,
Just sing little darling, sing with me.


And yes, I might have lied to you,
You wouldn’t benefit from knowing the truth.
I was frightened but I held fast,
I need you now at long last.


I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
And you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
No, I’m not asking much of you,
Just sing little darling, sing with me.
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

Brite Futures - Too Young to Kill


-Canción: Too Young to Kill

-Artista: Brite Futures

-Álbum: Dark Past

-Año: 2012

-La conocí por: la suelen poner en el hilo musical de una tienda de ropa californiana, que huele genial, esta a oscuras y hay pantallas enormes con videos de playas y el mar (vaaale, me encanta hollister)

-Me gusta por: odio el invierno, el frio, la poca luz, el vaho, el viento y derivados, asi que me refugio en canciones como esta para calentar el alma. Tomadlo como adelanto del veranito, una canción movida, fresquita, que invita a pensar en altas temperaturas, escapadas a san juan de alicante, dias de piscina, picnics...ains!! en fin, segundo disco de este grupo de seattle antes conocidos con el curioso nombre de "Natalie Portman´s Shaved Head" si, asi, tal cual. Hacen lo que les da la gana y gustan a la gente, que más se puede pedir en la vida.

-Una frase: intentar buscar el sentido a la cancion? imposible. Buscar una frase interesante? es inutil, pero suena bien y nos gusta.

-Momento perfecto para escucharla: ahora mismo!

-El videoclip trata de: si alguien lo sabe, ruego me lo explique.

-La letra:

My friend said you gotta ride the lightning

Move on up, make it frightening
oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah


A soft shock on a summer night
It'll be the kind of music that everyone likes
oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah


Make it a club hit we can all dance to
We don't give a shit what it's about
(They say we're too young to kill)
Make it a pop song so we can sing along


We're rock 'n' roll, we're the boogie children
Kid's idols today make a honey million
I bought a helicopter just so I could make it rain

You're in your car with your BFFFs
The future’s bright, there's still something left
Here comes the sun, do-do-do-do


You'll be the leader of the pack
Wolves always at your back
Write yourself a swimming pool
You got the whole world in your hand
