REM - The Great Beyond
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Aprovechando que acabo de verlos en directo hace unos dias os comento y presento para aquellos que no lo conoceis uno de los temas mas grandes que tiene esta banda. La cancion apareció en la (para mi magnifica) pelicula de Milos Forman “Man on the Moon” compuesta practicamente en su totalidad por REM. Es un tema que me trasmite una gran cantidad de sensaciones y pese a que la letra esta relacionada con los fracasos de la vida y el como los afrontamos me da buen rollo y bastante felicidad.
Os recomiendo escucharla un par de veces seguidas leyendo la letra que os descubrira todo su encanto y espero os guste tanto como a mi. Aqui teneis:
The Great Beyond - REM.
Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
I’ve watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can’t believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
There’s a new planet in the solar system
There’s nothing up my sleeve
(chorus 1)
I’m pushing an elephant up the stairs
I’m tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground
And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don’t want to stay around
Why can’t we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Me and You with wings on our feet
(repeat chorus 1)
(chorus 2)
I’m breaking through
I’m bending spoons
I’m keeping flowers in full bloom
I’m looking for answers from the great beyond
I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I’m looking to the stars
I’m looking to the moon
(repeat chorus 1)
____________________________________________
(repeat chorus 2)
I’m breaking through
I’m bending spoons
I’m keeping flowers in full bloom
I’m looking for answers from the great, answers from the great,
answeeers
(repeat chorus 2)
I’m breaking through
I’m bending spoons
I’m keeping flowers in full bloom
I’m looking for answers from the great, answers from the great,
answeeers (fades out)
(repeat chorus 2)
