Angels - The XX

El otro día se filtró el último disco del grupo inglés The XX. Se titula Coexist y en principio salía a la venta el 10 de septiembre. Obviamente no pude resistirme y después de buscar por internet lo conseguí. Han pasado unos cuantos días y tras bastantes escuchas (mi last-fm es testigo xD) he de decir que me gusta Y MUCHO! Y es que hay que admitir que después de un gran primer disco los XX lo tenían dificilillo para superarse (pero lo han hecho!). Por ahora mi favorita es Angels (que es la canción que os traigo hoy), pero Chained está ganando posiciones...

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than i thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as i am
They would be
As in love with you as i am
They would be
In love, love, love

And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them

Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love, love, love

And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what i mean
And the end is unknown
But i think i’m ready
As long as you’re with me

Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love with you as i am
Being
As in love, love, love

"Crystalised" - The XX

The XX es un grupo que descubrí este mismo año (o a finales del pasado), pero que en poco tiempo ha llegado a ser uno de mis favoritos. En una sala pequeñita tienen que ser geniales...

You've applied the pressure

To have me crystalised

And you've got the faith

That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget

Before I'm paralyzed

Do I have to keep up the pace

To keep you satisfied

Things have gotten closer to the sun

And I've done things in small doses

So don't think that I'm pushing you away

When you're the one that I've kept closest

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh

You don't move slow

Taking steps in my directions

The sound resounds, echo

Does it lessen your affection

No

You say I'm foolish

For pushing this aside

But burn down our home

I won't leave alive

Glaciers have melted to the sea

I wish the tide would take me over

I've been down on my knees

And you just keep on getting closer

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Ahh, ahh, ahh

Placid as I melt into the sea

(Things have gotten closer to the sun)

I wish the tide would take me over

(And I've done things in small doses)

I've been down onto my knees

(So don't think that I'm pushing you away)

And you just keep on getting closer

(When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow

Go slow

Go slow

Go slow

Go slow
