Wilco (The Song)

Are you under the impression
This isn’t your life?
Do you dabble in depression?
Is someone twisting a knife in your back?
Are you being attacked?

Oh this is a fact
That you need to know-ow-ow-ow-ow

Wilco
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby

Are times getting tough?
Are the roads you travel rough?
Have you had enough of the old?

Tired of being exposed to the cold
Stare of your stereo?
Put on your headphones
Before you explode

Wilco
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby

There’s so many wars that just can’t be won, oh-oh-ohhh
Even before the battles begun, oh-oh-ohhh
This is an aural arms open wide
A sonic shoulder for you to cry on

Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby

Is someone twisting a knife in your back?
Are you being attacked?
Oh, this is a fact
That you need to know-ow-ow-ow-ow

Wilco
Wilco
Wilco
Wilco will love you, baby.

=======================================

Deeper Down

By the end of the bout
He was punched out
Fists capsized
Muscles shouting

Deeper down
He felt the insult of a kiss

Deeper still than we can go
Further out than triremes row
Drowning slow
His memories persist

Out beyond the telescopes prowl
Up above the torched up path
He realized
This mystery is his

Underneath the ocean floor
The part of who we are
We don’t explore
I adore
The meaninglessness
Of the this
We can’t express

By the end of the bout
He was punched out
Fists capsized
Muscles shouting

Deeper down
He felt the comfort of a kiss

=======================================

One Wing

We once belonged to a bird
Who cast a shadow on this world
You were a blessing
And I was a curse
I did my best not to make things worse
For you
If it isn’t true

I always knew this would be our fate
This is what happens when we separate
This happens to all dead weight
Eventually

We may as well be made of stone
We can’t be thrown
One wing will never fly
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

One wing
We’ll never ever fly
Neither yours nor mine

One wing
We’ll never ever fly, dear
Neither yours nor mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

One wing
We’ll never ever fly, dear
Neither yours not mine
I fear we can only wave goodbye

Bye Bye
Bye Bye
Bye Bye
Bye Bye

=======================================

Bull Black Nova

It’s in my hair
It’s on my clothes
It’s in the river
Over the road

It’s shining down
My angry star
Hanging off the hood of my car
I’m not going far
I’m not going far

It’s coming down
Coming off the shoulders
What have they found?
I wonder if they know?

I’m in a bull black Chevy Nova
Silhouetted by the setting sun
This can’t be undone
This can’t be undone

If I’m the one
Blood on my sofa
Blood in the sink
Blood in the trunk

High at the wheel
Of a bull black Nova
And I’m sorry as a setting sun
This can’t be undone
Can’t be outrun

It’s in my hair
There’s blood in the sink
I can’t calm down
I can’t think

I keep calling
There’s blood in the trunk
I can’t calm down

Pick up!
Pick up!

=======================================

You And I

You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It’s like we’ve never met

But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has
But you and I

You and I
Me and you
What can we do
When the words we use sometimes
Are misconstrued

Well I won’t guess
What’s coming next
I can’t ever tell you
The deepest well
I’ve ever fallen into

Oh I don’t wanna know
Oh I don’t wanna know
Oh I don’t need to know
Everything about you

Oh I don’t wanna know
And you don’t need to know
That much about me

You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It’s like we’ve never met

But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has
But you and I

You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I

=======================================

You Never Know

Come on children
You’re acting like children
Every generation
Thinks it’s the end of the world

Well all you fat followers
Get fit fast
Every generation think it’s the last
Thinks it’s the end of the world

There’s a dream down a well
There’s a lone heavy hell

I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
It’s a fear we transcend
If we’re here at the end

I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
Cause you never know

Come on kids
You’re acting like children
Act your age
Give back the black metals and pearls

Oh all you sword swallowers
Pull yourselves together
Every generation thinks it’s the worst
Thinks it’s the end of the world

There’s a secret I can’t tell
There’s a wish down a well

I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

There’s a lone
Heavy hell
Synthesized about and
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

But you never know
Oh you never know

I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

It’s a secret I can’t tell
There’s a wish down a well

I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

It’s a fear to transcend
If we’re here at the end
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore
I don’t care anymore

But you never know
Oh you never know

=======================================

A Country Disappeared

Wake up we’re here
It’s so much worse than we feared
There’s nothing left here
A country has disappeared

The winter trees bleeding
Leaf red blood
The summer sweet dreaming
April blush
But none of that’s ever gonna mean
As much to me again

Hold out your hand
There’s so much you don’t understand
So stick as close as you can
To all of your best laid plans

You’ve got the white clouds hanging
So high above you
You’ve got the helicopters dangling
Angling to shoot the shots
To feed the hungry
Weekend news crew anchormen

So every evening
We can watch from above
Crushed cities
Like a bug

Fold ourselves into each others guts
Turn our faces up to the sun

I won’t take no
I won’t let you go
All by yourself
I know you’ll need my help

When the cool light shakes you
Like a chandelier
When the snowflakes break through
The atmosphere
And melt on the blue breath
Of the auctioneers
And disappear

So every evening
We can watch from above
Crushed cities
Like a bug

Fold ourselves into each others blood
And turn our faces up to the sun

=======================================

Solitaire

Once I thought
The world was crazy
Everyone was sad and chasing
Happiness and love
And I was the only one above it

Once I thought
Without a doubt
I had it all figured out
The universe with hands unseen
I was cold as gasoline

It took too long to see
I was wrong to believe
In me only

Once my life
Was a game so unfair
It beat me down and kept me there
Unaware of my naysaying
Solitaire was all I was playing

It took too long to see
I was wrong to believe
In me only

=======================================

I’ll Fight

I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
I’ll go for you
I’ll fight, I’ll fight, I’ll fight
I’ll fight for you
I’ll kill, I’ll kill, I’ll kill
I’ll kill for you
I will, I will, I will

I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
I’ll go for you
I’ll fight, I’ll fight, I’ll fight
I’ll fight for you
I’ll die, I’ll die, I’ll die
I’ll die for you
I will, I will, I will

And If I die
I’ll die, I’ll die alone
On some forgotten hill
Abandoned by the men
All my blood
Will spring and spill
I’ll thrash the air
And then be still

You’ll wake with a start
From a dream and know
That I am gone
You’ll feel it in your heart
But not for very long

You will rise each day as planned
Your will is your command
And stand each Sunday at hymnal
Steady in your hand

And you’ll sing to yourself
The rising, falling melody
That you could never read
Without your choirs lead
Still alone and lost indeed
In your soul, you’ll not be free

I will go, I will go, I will go
Into war’s waters I will wade
And I will know without remorse
Or regret, the fairness of our trade

For you to live I took your place
A deal was made and now it’s paid
And the gold as I was told
At the place where my body could be laid

And then you’ll steal your life
And die old in better homes
Surrounded by your peers
Without suffering or fear
Grandchildren far and near
And none will shed a tear
For the love no longer here

I’ll go, I’ll go, I’ll go
I’ll go for you, I will
I’ll fight, I’ll fight, I’ll fight
I’ll fight for you
I will, I will, I will
I’ll kill, I’ll kill, I’ll kill
I’ll kill for you, I will
I’ll die, I’ll die, I’ll die
I’ll die for you
I will, I will, I will

And if I die
I’ll die, I’ll die alone
Like Jesus on the cross
My faith cannot be tossed
And my life will not be lost
If my love comes across

=======================================

Sonny Feeling

I was on my way home
From high school
I was stuck at the crossing
I dug in for a duel

Well at the last moment
I barely hit the brakes
My life split in two directions
Into two seperate fates

I got on the last fight
To Amsterdam
We couldn’t hit the runway
So he took off again

Aww, there’s no need to worry
The captain cut in
The winds are less heavy
Over in Berlin

You know it’s true
The other shoe
It waits for you
What can you do?
Remember to show gratitude
The darkest night is nothing new

Sonny’s got a problem
All the mini-mart clerks know
She knows nothing of him and his
Suburban gangster flow

Oh maybe it’s random
How each moment unfolds
It didn’t feel
Like the wrong time or place
Until they cut off her clothes

I’m on my way home
From my high school
I’m always contemplating
Why the kids are still cruel
Oh, the kids are still cruel

A sunny feeling is taken away
A sunny feeling is taken away
A sunny feeling is taken away
Some of the feeling is taken away

=======================================

Everlasting Everything

Everything alive must die
Every building built to the sky will fall
Don’t try to tell me my everlasting love is a lie

Everlasting
Everything
Oh nothing could mean anything
At all

Every wave that hits the shore
Every book that I adore
Gone like a circus
Gone like a troubador
Everlasting love, forever more

Everlasting
Everything
Oh nothing could mean anything
At all

Oh I know this might sound sad
But everything goes both good and the bad
So it all adds up and you should be glad
Everlasting love is all you have

Everlasting
Everything
Oh nothing could mean anything
At all

Everlasting
Everything
Oh nothing could mean anything
At all

Tras el anuncio de dos pesos pesados del indie rock del calibre de Pavement y Pixies, llega la primera tanda de artistas confirmados para el décimo aniversario de San Miguel Primavera Sound, que se celebrará en Barcelona del 27 al 29 de mayo de 2010.

Como muchos sabéis se está desarrollando una encuesta entre nuestro público a través del foro del festival y, en esta ocasión, confirmamos dos grupos que se unirán a la celebración de nuestro aniversario el próximo mayo: Wilco, posiblemente la banda de rock americano más importante del último lustro, y los británicos The Fall comandados por Mark E. Smith, un grupo crucial para entender la música actual.

Les acompañan una serie de artistas de distinto pelaje, entre los que cabría destacar a Panda Bear, alias de Noah Lennox de Animal Collective dedicado a la experimentación partiendo del pop. También desembarcará en el Parc del Forum Hope Sandoval, la ex vocalista de Mazzy Star que estará acompañada de The Warm Inventions.

Desde Inglaterra llegan dos de los grupos que más revuelo mediático nos han dado este año, The XX con su pop oscuro y meláncolico y Wild Beasts, una banda que ha sabido desmarcarse de modas y hypes ofreciendo un sonido fresco y rotundo.

El apartado electrónico está cubierto por el dúo enmascarado The Bloody Beetroots, candidatos a ser el nuevo boom de la música de baile en los próximos meses, el dubstep del británico Joker junto a Nomad y la reunión del grupo escocés de electropop Bis.

Como viene siendo habitual, los nuevos valores de la independencia americana estarán bien representados con la visita deThe Antlers, autores de uno de los discos del 2009,  el folk pop de los pujantes Here We Go Magic, el fuzz pop de Dum Dum Girls y la psicodelia lo-fi de Ganglians.

La música que se hace en nuestro país cuenta con dos confirmaciones importantes y claramente antagónicas. Por un lado estarán Delorean, un veterano grupo que este año ha conseguido por fin conquistar UK y Estados Unidos con su rock electrónico. Por el otro, una actuación muy especial en la que, bajo el título “Camarón, La Leyenda Del Tiempo, 30 Años Después”, un elenco de nombres indispensables del flamenco actual (entre ellos Duquende y Chicuelo) rendirá tributo a uno de los discos más sobresalientes de nuestra cultura musical.

El power pop de los canadienses The New Pornographers, un grupo que se ha convertido en un clásico de esta década, también recalará en la décima edición de San Miguel Primavera Sound.

Los abonos para San Miguel Primavera Sound 2010 están a la venta a un precio de 95 € (+ gastos de distribución) hasta el 30 de noviembre. A partir del 1 de diciembre los abonos costarán 99 € (+ gastos de distribución).

Los puntos de venta son los siguientes: red Ticketmaster (Tick Tack Ticket), tiendas CD Drome, tiendas RIFT, Seetickets UK, Fnac Francia y a través de PayPal en la web del festival.
