Cante com o Rêve - Give up the gun (Vampire Weekend)

Well well well primeiro #musicmonday do dia. Semana passada não rolou porque estivemos no corre do lançamento e tudo mais. Pra quem foi na festa um zilhão de obrigadas! Foi tudo lindo e mágico (tirando meu nervosismos, mas enfim).

Vamos ao que interessa, a banda de hoje é a Vampire Weekend, eu no começo tinha um nariz torcido pra eles, mas depois que a banda lançou Contra, cai de amores. O álbum de estreia da banda, Vampire Weekend, foi lançado em janeiro de 2008, e o Contra foi lançado 2 anos depois.

Os nova iorquinos mandaram muito bem com esse segundo disco, pra mim e pra Jaq já virou trilha sonora das nossas reuniões, seja aqui em casa, ou na casa dela. Inclusive tocamos Horchata na festa. Algumas músicas estão disponíveis no Myspace da banda, tanto do primeiro quanto do segundo, e tem alguns videos também.

Segue o video de Give up the gun, que faz parte de Contra, e tem a participação de um dos Jonas Brothers. Opinião minha, a música vale mais que o clipe, mas enfim...

Give up the gun

Your sword's grown old and rusty

Burnt beneath the rising sun

It's locked up like a trophy

Forgetting all the things it's done

And though it's been a long time

You're right back where you started from

I see it in your eyes

That now you're giving up the gun

When I was 17, I had wrists like steel

And I felt complete

And now my body fades behind a brass charade

And I'm obsolete

But if the chance remained to see those better days

I'd cut the cannons down

My ears are blown to bits from all the riffle hits

But still, I crave that sound

Your sword's grown old and rusty

Burnt beneath the rising sun

It's locked up like a trophy

Forgetting all the things it's done

And though it's been a long time

You're right back where you started from

I see it in your eyes

That now you're giving up the gun

I heard you play guitar at a seedy bar

Where skinheads used to fight

Your Tokugawa smile and your garbage style

Used to save the night

You felt the coming wave, told me we'd all be brave

You said you wouldn't flinch

But in the years that passed since I saw you last

You haven't moved a inch

Your sword's grown old and rusty

Burnt beneath the rising sun

It's locked up like a trophy

Forgetting all the things it's done

And though it's been a long time

You're right back where you started from

I see it in your eyes

That now you're giving up the gun

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

I see you shine in your way

Go on, go on, go on

Your sword's grown old and rusty

Burnt beneath the rising sun

It's locked up like a trophy

Forgetting all the things it's done

And though it's been a long time

You're right back where you started from

I see it in your eyes

That now you're giving up the gun
