I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...
(Getting into the swing...)
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you

De sus tantos videos..no me dio la gana de poner alguno hahaha.
No es por joder, solo que encontre este otro video, la cancion es Cycling Trivialities con un video acerca de la guerra. Un video para reflexionar..
Too blind to know your best.
Hurrying through the forks without regrets.
Different now, every step feels like a mile.
All the lights seem to flash and pass you by.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Don't know which way to turn.
Every trifle becoming big concerns.
All this time you were chasing dreams,
without knowing what you wanted them to mean.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Who cares in a hundred years from now.
All the small steps, all your shitty clouds.
Who cares in a hundred years from now.
Who'll remember all the players.
Who'll remember all the clowns.
So how's it gonna be.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
So what does this really mean.
When it all comes down you're cycling trivialities.
Cycling trivialities.
Cycling trivialities
Si tuvieramos que definir Sunset Rubdown, como una persona, diria que Sunset rubdown es Spencer Krug.
Spencer, con tan solo 33 años de edad es capaz de llevar 6 bandas: Fifths of Seven, Moonface, Swan Lake, Frog Eyes, Sunset Rubdown y Wolf Parade.
Con su estilo inigualable palpa a estas agrupaciones con su magia, pero siempre dando un estilo unico a cada una.
Spencer comprende que la musica no es otra cosa que un proceso creativo, el sabe que parte de la magia esta en la variedad de sonidos. Ese caotico pero a la vez ordenado universo de sonidos. Es consciente que encasillarse en generos no viene a nada, y en cada una de sus agrupaciones demuestra sin pretenciones que la musica es hermosa aun desde su mas simple pero siempre melodica composicion, hasta su canciones mas complejas, como Black Swan por citar alguna.
Wolf Parade (imagen)
Les dejo un video de la agrupacion Sunset Rubdown para que decidan:
You go on ahead
For a while
I would like
To follow you a while
You go on ahead!
For a while
I would like
To just follow you a while
And I’d like to watch the white flash of your heels
As they take turns
Breaking the desert heat
To beckon me in languages I’ve never learned
And I’d like to have you
Navigate two hills where no musicians live
And on the way
Decide what bendings of your will you’re willing to forgive
And I’d like to think the actors never banded
And I’d like to throw this trumpet down and go on empty-handed!
And I’d like to think I am not one of them
But I know I am
So I’d like to just
Follow you a while
You go on ahead for a while!
I would like to just follow you a while
And you go on ahead
For a while
I would like to just
Follow you a while
When me and the boys were out
We killed a thousand butterflies
So I put their wings into my mouth and
Said a prayer for our safe arrival
And
Then a big black car crossed our path
And I wondered whether or not that shit was empty!
You go:
See the sirens and the lizards
Flick their tongues behind the stage
See the actor keep a ritual
To keep them all at bay
He would like to come home naked
Without war paint on his face
And appear before you
Virgin white if virgins are still chaste
Soooooo wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait!
And you’ve got to wait for me…
And I’ll appear before you virgin white
If virgins are still chaste
Then I’d like to just
Follow you a while
And if there are two eyes in my head
There are four seasons in a year
And reflections on the water
Of a burning yellow sphere
And the days add up to weeks
Add up to months
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And add up
And if there are two eyes in my head (and add up)
There are four seasons in a year (and add up)
And reflections on the water (and add up)
Of a burning yellow sphere (and add up)
And the days add up to weeks (and add up)
Add up to months (and add up)
And add up (and add up)
And add up (and add up)
To years (and add up)
Add up to years (and add up)
Add up to years! (and add up)
Add up to years! (and add up)
And add up oh…
And if reflections on the water
Sometimes look like they’re in tears
We can watch them change in shape
Without pushing
Off the pier…
Si alguien me preguntara, que me hace sentir o pensar este video, describiria una escena que pasa por mi cabeza:
Escena: dos personas, desayunando en la misma habitacion, el..tiene la barba fuera de control, ella..lleva el vestido de hace 3 dias.
-El- Ponme atencion, deja de pensar en irte. Se que no quieres involucrarte mas.
-Ella, mientras sonrie dice- Lo siento.
-El, lastimado y retador pregunta- Dime, ¿Crees poder huir de aqui, antes de que todo se venga abajo?
-Ella, no dice nada. Solo baja la mirada.-
-El, con la mirada melancolica, que solo un buen y lejano recuerdo puede provocar- Cuando te conoci todo era perfercto. Te mire a los ojos y te dije: te amo. Recuerdas?
-Ella niega con la cabeza ladeada.-
-El- Tu solo me recordaste lo afortunado que era por tenerte.
Stay away from open windows, and put the telephone down.
Can you run as fast as this house will fall, when the alarm bell sounds?
No, I was never much of a dancer but I know enough to know you gotta move your idiot body around.
And you can't, can't settle down until the idiot in your blood settles down.
And if I found you in this city, and called it Paradise.
I say, I love you but I hate this city, and I'm no prize.
You want to walk around like you own the joint, the way that Icarus thought he might own the sky.
I said you can't, can't settle down, until the Icarus in your blood, in your blood drowns
No you can't, can't settle down, until the Icarus in your blood, in your blood drowns
I said, If I was a horse I would throw up the reins if I was you.
Wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-oh
So, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer)
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a meteor)
Oh, look at you go!
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer)
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a meteor)
Oh, look at you go!
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer)
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a meteor)
Oh, look at you go-o-o-o!
Oh, look at you go!
(you were a sorcerer,
you were a meteor)
and, look at you go!
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart,
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart,
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
Well it's an idiot heart.
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
And you know your heart, and you know your heart, and you know your heart
And you know your heart.
But you can't, can't settle down, down, down Ba-da-da-da-da-ba-da-da-ba-ba
But you can't, can t settle down, down, down Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
So just move around, move around, move around, move around. (I hope that you die)
Move around. (in a decent pair of shoes) Move around. (you got a lot more walking to do) Move around. (where you're going to) Move around.
I hope that you die in a decent pair of shoes
You got a lot more walking to do where you re going to.
I hope that you die in a decent pair of shoes
You got a lot more walking to do where you're goin
