about

ABOUT THIS TRACK:

De esta canción dicen mucho que hace evidente nuestra influencia del pop de guitarras australiano y neozelandés de los años 80. No vamos a negarlo (ese flanger inicial…). De hecho, también hay una frase en la letra que se refiere a una canción real que sólo conoce el letrista. Y que es de un grupo australiano de esa época. Y efectivamente habla, aunque cueste entenderlo, de esa impactante sensación cuando inesperadamente descubres una canción perfecta que te va directa al corazón y que además parece que esté compuesta sólo para ti. Cuanto más creces menos a menudo sucede; y por eso cuando vuelve a suceder es tan maravilloso.

lyrics

MODERN (Lyrics)

Should I fall to ground if I still hesitate
Not easy to say if I'm the king or the queen
If I'd penned a song that no one'd ever heard
I'll play it for me forever and once again

On était modernes, nous...
On était modernes, nous...

Birds always fly back before they get through
Thrills down my stomach darken like narrow streets
Steps close and faster than we truly desire
It's really the sound that never remains the same

On était modernes, nous...
On était modernes, nous...

Take your books and tear every page off
Knock the thin walls down and walk for ages
A secret song was lost in Adelaide
You're a spirit, the picture of a real life page.

On était modernes, nous...
On était modernes, nous...
On était modernes

Old jackets moth-eaten in the wardrobe
Fickle hearts continuously changing their minds
Unveiling the words like unleashing reef knots
Be true to yourself, this is the last reason why
