The Arcade Fire

Můj osobní hudební objev roku. Kanadští the Arcade Fire s hudbou pro mě tak těžko vymezitelnou, že mě jako přirování napadá jenom to nejlepší z Davida Bowieho. A pro Tunnels mám slabost...

Four Winds Bar I: O ubohém Edwardovi

Někdy se prostě text povede. A když to podá Tom Waits, tak nějak divně se vám stáhne hrdlo a trochu to zamrazí ... a pak se pousmějete...

Poor Edward
Did you hear the news about Edward?
On the back of his head he had another face
Was it a woman's face or a young girl?
They said to remove it would kill him
So poor Edward was doomed
The face could laugh and cry
It was his devil twin
And at night she spoke to him
Things heard only in hell
But they were impossible to separate
Chained together for life
Finally the bell tolled his doom
He took a suite of rooms
And hung himself and her from the balcony irons
Some still believe he was freed from her
But I knew her too well
I say she drove him to suicide
And took poor Edward to hell
