E agora com música (mas só ouve quem quer)

Começamos pelos novos meninos bonitos do rock britânico, consta que alguns foram à faculdade e tudo. O álbum de estreia, Silent Alarm, tem momentos muito fortes, e outros menos óptimos, mas promete. Bloc Party tem aquela coisa que irrita os puristas do obscurantismo alternativo, que é o sentido da melodia e a aversão à complicação (embora o trabalho de guitarra seja mais interessante do que parece à primeira audição, se fosse crítico musical acho que escreveria qualquer coisa relacionada com «camadas»). E são bons ao vivo.

Este é o novo single, já mais esgalhado para as airwaves, mas ainda assim a valer a pena.

Enjoy (é ali ao lado, isso).

Two More Years

In two more years, my sweetheart, we will see another view
such longing for the past for such completion
What was once golden has now turned a shade of grey
I've become crueler in your presence

They say: 'be brave, there's a right way and a wrong way'
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years, there's only two more years
Two more years so hold on

You've cried enough this lifetime, my beloved polar bear
Tears to fill a sea to drown a beacon
To start anew all over, remove those scars from your arms
To start anew all over more enlightened

I know, my love, this is not the only story you can tell
This pain won't last for ever, this pain won't last for ever

Two more years...

You don't need to find answers for questions never asked of you
You don't need to find answers

dead weights and balloons
drag me to you
dead weights and balloons
to sleep in your arms
i've become crueler since i met you
ive become rougher, this world is killing me

we cover our lies with handshakes and smiles
we try to remember our alibis
we tell lies to our parents he hide in their rooms
we bury our secrets in the garden
of course we could never make this love last
i said of course we could never make this love last
the only love we know is love for ourselves
we bury our secrets in the garden.
