Reseñando Canciones: Arctic Monkeys
(Especial Tour Latinoamérica 2014)
¡Arctic Monkeys! ¡Qué banda! También, da la casualidad, la conocí gracias a una amiga y van a venir a la Argentina. Lamentablemente, esta banda últimamente es de mis favoritas y no voy a poder ir a verlos por el precio de la entrada, así que me quedo escuchándolos en mi computadora y trato de imaginar lo que se sentiría estar ahí.
Su música me hace sentir tantas cosas diferentes y sus letras son simples, pero son tan profundas que no puedo dejar de escucharlas. Además, la voz de Alex Turner, el cantante, es magnífica e inexplicable. Espero que les guste.

Top 5 de Canciones:
1) Do I Wanna Know
Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift the tide
that sticks around like summat’s in your teeth?
Hide some aces up your sleeve
Have you no idea that you’re in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there’s this tune I’ve found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee
(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(It’s hard to see you go)
I’m sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things
that you can’t say tomorrow day Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Well baby I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you
So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart’s still open,
and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I’m sorry to interrupt
It’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
But I dunno if you feel the same as I do
We could be together if you wanted to
(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(It’s hard to see you go)
I’m sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things
that you can’t say tomorrow day
Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when
(You’ve had a few)
Darling when you’ve had a few
(Cause I always do)
Cause I always do
(Well baby I’m too)
Way too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you
(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(It’s hard to see you go)
I’m sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things
that you can’t say tomorrow day
(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Hard to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?
2) Reckless Serenade
Reckless Serenade Live ¡Hermosa Canción!
Topless models doing semaphore
Wave their flags as she walks by
And get ignored
Illuminations on a rainy day
When she walks her footsteps sing a reckless serenade
I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Called up to listen to the voice of reason
And got the answering machine
The type of kisses where teeth collide
When she laughs, the heavens hum a stun-gun lullaby
Those twinkling vixens with the shining spiral eyes
Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by
I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Called up to listen to the voice of reason
And got his answering machine
I left my message, but did he fuck get back to me
And now I'm stuck, still wondering how it's meant to be
Singing a reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade
3) Why'd you only call me when you are high?
The mirror's image
tells me it's home time
But I'm not finished
'Cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving
carrying your shoes
decided that once again I was just dreaming
of bumping into you
Now its three in the morning
and I'm trying to change your mind
left you multiple missed calls
and to my message, you repy
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, Why'd you only call me when you're high?
Somewhere darker
talking the same shite
I need a partner
Well, are you out tonight?
gets harder and harder to get you to listen
'more i get through the gears
incapable of making alright decisons
and having bad ideas
Now its three in the morning
and I'm trying to change your mind
left you multiple missed calls
and to my message you repy
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, Why'd you only call me when you're high?
and I can't see you here, wondering where am I?
sorta feels like i'm running out of time
I haven't found what i was hoping to find
You said you gotta be up in the morning
gonna have an early night
then you started to bore me
baby why'd you only call me when you're high?
tells me it's home time
But I'm not finished
'Cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving
carrying your shoes
decided that once again I was just dreaming
of bumping into you
Now its three in the morning
and I'm trying to change your mind
left you multiple missed calls
and to my message, you repy
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, Why'd you only call me when you're high?
Somewhere darker
talking the same shite
I need a partner
Well, are you out tonight?
gets harder and harder to get you to listen
'more i get through the gears
incapable of making alright decisons
and having bad ideas
Now its three in the morning
and I'm trying to change your mind
left you multiple missed calls
and to my message you repy
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, Why'd you only call me when you're high?
and I can't see you here, wondering where am I?
sorta feels like i'm running out of time
I haven't found what i was hoping to find
You said you gotta be up in the morning
gonna have an early night
then you started to bore me
baby why'd you only call me when you're high?
4) A Certain Romance
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that´s what the point is not
The point´s that there isn´t no romance around there
And there´s the truth that they can´t see
They´d probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there isn´t no romance around there
it´s a funny thing you know
We´ll tell them if you like
We´ll tell them all tonight
They´ll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it´s all okay to carry on that way
Over there there´s broken bones
There´s only music, so that there´s new ringtones
And it doesn´t take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it´s a little different around here
Don´t get me wrong though there´s boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he´s had a couple of cans
He thinks it´s alright to act like a dickhead
Well over there there´s friends of mine
What can I say, I´ve known them for a long long time
And they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that´s what the point is not
The point´s that there isn´t no romance around there
And there´s the truth that they can´t see
They´d probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there isn´t no romance around there
it´s a funny thing you know
We´ll tell them if you like
We´ll tell them all tonight
They´ll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it´s all okay to carry on that way
Over there there´s broken bones
There´s only music, so that there´s new ringtones
And it doesn´t take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it´s a little different around here

Well over there there´s friends of mine
What can I say, I´ve known them for a long long time
And they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
5) Flourescent Adolescent
You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything´s in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary´s lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?
Oh that boy´s a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...
Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she´s gonna get it
I´m guessing that she´d rather just forget i
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said she wasn´t going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a megadobber or a betting pencil?
Oh that boy´s a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren´t as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.
Falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You´re not coming back again.

Everything was pretty in the past though

Wow...eso fue realmente difícil...solamente 5 canciones. Fue prácticamente una tortura, pero pude lograrlo, me gustan muchas. Mis favoritas son Reckless Serenade y Certain Romance, no obstante la que más escucho es Do I Wanna Know? porque es linda para bailar.
Sin embargo, si les gusta ustedes se fijan y escuchan otras canciones. Les dejo este link para que pasen si les gusta la banda. Miles de saludos. (sino hagan click en la imagen)
