Siempre es buen momento para escuchar una canción de PJ Harvey. Y más cuando sus letras calcan la vida de una manera natural, realista. Son fotografías de las relaciones humanas. De su Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea, de 2000, recuperamos “We Float”, una historia de caminos equivocados, de vacío y dudas.
PJ Harvey terminó su gira de 2008 el 30 de junio, en Atenas, y hasta el momento no ha preparado nuevas presentaciones para finales de año. Aún está fresco su White Chalk, que presentó en septiembre de 2007.
We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night
I was in need of help
Heading to black out
‘Til someone told me run on in honey
Before somebody blows your goddam’ brains out
You shop-lifted as a child
I had a model’s smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke inside
But now we float
Take life as it comes
So will we die of shock?
Die without a trial
Die on Good Friday
While holding each other tight
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kind of lost our way
But we were looking to be free
But one day we’ll float
Take life as it comes
