A la lista de discos más vendidos en Reino Unido ha llegado pisando fuerte 'Black Blood', el debut de Bastille. Y lo ha hecho por la puerta grande: convirtiéndose en el número 1.
El cuarteto londinense encabezado por Dan Smith, con un sonido a medio camino entre el rock y la música electrónica, ha convencido, y mucho, a fans y críticos, que aseguran que podemos estar ante uno de los primeros grandes descubrimientos del año. Su primer éxito es esta canción, 'Pompeii', con toques ochenteros y sonido muy fresco que gustará a los amantes del British Pop clásico.
Letra:
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settles around us
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
