Nouvel album pour Death Cab for Cutie : Narrow Stairs

Hier, 13 mai, sortait  en boutique le nouvel album Narrow Stairs de Death Cab For Cutie (sorti le 9 mai sur Itunes). Si vous aimez leur musique et leur nouvel album, notez qu’ils seront en spectacle sur le quai Jacques-Cartier (Montréal) le 6 juin. En attendant, voici un clip tiré du nouvel album : I Will Possess Your Heart.

Je me fais l’oreille et je vous reviens avec ma critique. Mais, je peux vous dire qu’à la première écoute ces Death Cab me paraissent toujours aussi romantiques et mélancoliques. Sauront-ils expliquer aussi bien et aussi tendrement ces relations bizarres qui parsèment notre vie ? On se rappelle qu’avec Tiny Vessels, Death Cab était capable de mettre des mots sur ces relations tordues et d’apaiser bien des questionnements en nous les faisant voir sous un autre angle, beaucoup plus simple.

This is the moment that you know
That you told you loved her but you don’t.
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don’t mean a thing to me.
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don’t mean a thing to me.

I spent two weeks in Silverlake
The California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks
And she was beautiful but she didn’t mean a thing to me.
Yeah she was beautiful but she didn’t mean a thing to me.

Wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
As we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that i was telling
And all the playful misspellings
And every bite i gave you left a mark

Tiny vessels oozed into your neck
And formed the bruises
That you said you didn’t want to fade
But they did and so did i that day

All i see are dark grey clouds
In the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you ask “was something wrong?”
That i think “you’re damn right there is but we can’t talk about it now.
No, we can’t talk about it now.”

So one last touch and then you’ll go
And we’ll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile, and it was cheap
And you are beautiful but you don’t mean a thing to me
Yeah you are beautiful but you don’t mean a thing to me.

Sauront-ils expliquer et accompagner d’autres moments de ma vie de rêveuse, ça reste à voir !!!
