Warpaint, "Undertow" (Live: Yours Truly Session)

Eu *sabia* que tinha de haver mais qualquer razão para gostar desta jovem banda, Warpaint, um quarteto agora inteiramente feminino e cujo 1º álbum, "The Fool", foi editado em 25 de Outubro deste ano. Não sendo tão baseadas em electrónicas, estas norte-americanas de Los Angeles comparo-as com as Au Revoir Simone (de Brooklyn, New York). As vocallizações são semelhantes e as temáticas, idem.

E porque digo que *sabia*? Ora: a baixista usa um baixo Rickenbacker, pois então!

O álbum, que obtive na transmissão live em streaming via The Hype Machine (um blog cuja visita recomendo), já se encontra à venda entre nós. Uma audição a descobrir. Vivamente.



Your brown eyes are my blue skies.
They light up the river that the birds fly over.
Better not to quench your thirst.
Better not to be the first one diving in,
though you caught me and you know why
they breathe in the deepest part of the water.

What’s the matter? You hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
Now i’ve got you in the undertow.
Now i’ve got you in the undertow.
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight.

Let tonight pass us by.
Do you really want to be the one to fight?
And i said “You’re better not to light that fire.
It will take you to the darkest part of the weather.”

What’s the matter? You hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
Now i’ve got you in the undertow.
Now i’ve got you in the undertow.
Why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight.
Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight.
Nobody in my mind. Nobody in my mind.
I feel it in my heart tonight.

I laid on the floor, pressing in my eyes.
Seeing little lights.
These are the decisions that only one could make(?)
I wanted to stay home but i went running running running running from the troubles
runningrunningrunningrunningrunningrunni­ngrunning

What’s the matter? You hurt yourself?
Opened your eyes and there was someone else?
Now i’ve got you in the undertow
Now i’ve got you so
why you wanna blame me for your troubles?
Ah ah ah you better learn your lesson yourself.
Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight.
Nobody ever has to find out what’s in my mind tonight.
