Lostprophets - Last Train Home

C'est fou comme j'ai pu écouter cette chanson. Leur premier album The Fake Sound Of Progress m'avait beaucoup plu, et avec Start Something (leur 2eme donc) ils avaient réussi à enfoncer le clou. Le 1er single Burn Burn laissait entrevoir un gros changement, le reste de l'album sera du même lot. Alternant gros riffs et passages criés avec mélodies et chant plus traditionnel, et surtout les riffs qui seront la marque de fabrique de leur 3eme album, cet album est une perle. Leur 2eme single, Last Train Home, est LA chanson de cet album (attention subjectivité inside). J'espère que vous l'aimerez autant que moi.





One! Two! Three!

To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part, but now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all a part of the choices that your making
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to take

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

I wonder if you're listening
Picking up on the signals
Sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know whats going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

Well we sing if we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing if it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love

But we sing
If we're going no where
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing with out a reason to never fall in love
To never fall in love again

Jack's Mannequin - Dark Blue

Un de mes premiers posts musicaux sur ce blog était sur Something Corporate (souvenez-vous la magnifique Globes And Maps, c'était ici (avec Brand New pour une chanson tout aussi excellente)). Ou un groupe qui, dans le pop punk, apportait sa touche avec un chanteur pianiste : Andrew MacMahon. Depuis, plus rien. Je ne sais pas si ils ont splitté ou si ils sont juste en pause. En tout cas Andrew, quant à lui, vient de sortir un 2eme album avec son autre projet Jack's Mannequin. On retrouve les mêmes ingrédients, et là aussi la formule prend.
Dark Blue est sur leur premier album Everything In Transit, et c'est vraiment la chanson d'eux que je préfère, rythmiquement parlant la plus enjouée.






I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
I don't (don't know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I'll wait (I'll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)
Pick us up off the floor
What did you possibly expect under this condition so

Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue..
Just dark blue

This flood (this flood) is slowly rising up swallowing the ground
Beneath my feet, Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so
I'll swim (I'll swim) as the water rises up, the sun is sinking down
And now all I can see are the planets in a row
Suggesting it's best that I slow down

This night's a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning dark blue

We were boxing
We were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we were boxing)
You were swinging for Mars
And then the water reached the West Coast
And took the power lines (the power lines)
And it was me and you (this could last forever)
And the whole town under water
There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue

Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you
I said the room could be burning now there's nothing but dark blue

If you've ever been alone in the dark blue
If you've ever been alone you'll know (you'll know)

Denali - Normal Days

*mode racontage de life on* C'est étonnant comme j'ai (re)découvert ce groupe récemment. Un post sur un blog de dl, un clip qui m'a plus, hop les 2 albums, puis cette chanson qui me disait quelque chose, sans arriver à resituer d'où je la connaissais. En fait il se trouve qu'elle est sur une compilation Rock Against Bush, et que c'est de là que je l'avais entendue *mode racontage de life off*
Pour en revenir à la musique, Denali c'est beau, c'est classe, le son de guitare est trop bon dès l'arrivée des riffs. La voix est excellente. Cette chanson je pourrais me l'écouter en boucle. Sans me lasser (avant un petit moment bien entendu). Reposez en paix (le groupe pas vous chers lecteurs).







Hear the walk, if i speak
Turn it into codes
Break it through, through the wall
Bring it up to speed
Innocence drifts away passing through pains
Just one person in a million waiting for that day
To start and end the line
To pay it all on time
