The Posies "So Caroline"

Grupo/Interprete: The Posies
Canción: So Caroline
Disco: Blood Candy (2010)
Estilo: Pop Rock Alternativo, Indie Rock

Otros que vuelven a publicar un album de estudio tras cinco años de inactividad y en este caso también ha merecido la pena la espera. Para mi gusto uno de los mejores discos de la banda desde "Amazing Disgrace".

Hace algunos post hablaba de 1980 como un gran año para la música con grandes discos, pues bien, dentro de unos años se hablara de 2010 como un gran año, de momento quedan dos meses para que acabe el año y la cosecha se puede calificar de excelente.

I can’t make another history choice

I don’t want to decide

I don’t want to get stuck where the yearbooks reside

So, Caroline

You’ll be the only friend of mine

Close enough to remain tethered and tied

So, Caroline

You’ll be the only friend of mine

I keep dreaming of a map of the world

I keep searching the sky

I keep seeing the traffic signals passing me by

So, Caroline

You’ll be the only friend of mine

Close enough to remain tethered and tied

Ain’t it so, Caroline?

You’ll be the only friend of mine

And with friends like you who needs anyone else?

With friends like you...

Took a second glance like a fighting chance when I heard your name

Such a singular favor to return then begin again

So, Caroline -You’ll be the only friend of mine

Close enough to remain tethered and tied

So, Caroline -You’ll be the only friend of mine

Ain’t it so, Caroline?

You’ll be the only friend of mine

Close enough to remain tethered and tied

Ain’t it so Caroline?

You’ll be the only friend of mine

The Posies "Ontario"

La fenomenal banda de Ohio vuelve a este blog, seguro que no será la última. Además de estar muy bien esta canción tiene una pequeña historia personal. Este disco es de 1996 y fue el disco definitivo, el que hizo que esta banda se consagrara. Power pop, pop alternativo, pero con el sello personal de los dos lideres de este grupo Jon Auer y Ken Stringfellow.

When I told you what you wanted to know
You said, "Take me to Ontario"
When I showed you what you wanted to see
You said, "The flower that you planted in me has gone dry," yeah
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
When I showed you what I wanted to build
And all the enemies would never be killed
There'll be a saint living under the stairs
So we'll be free of material cares
Black paint on the walls in summer, it's cool, yeah, it's cool
Black paint on the walls in summer, it's cool, yeah, it's cool
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
When I told you what I wanted to know
You said "Take me to Ontario"
When I asked you, "Why Ontario?"
You said, "It sounds good on the radio" -- go!
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
I wanna go, I wanna go -- to Ontario
Black birds flying overhead, waiting for somebody to die
Black birds flying overhead, waiting for somebody to die

The Posies ·Saying sorry to myself"
