Arcade Fire se han alzado esta semana con 'Reflektor' con la primera posición en la lista británica de éxitos, un hito que ya consiguieron con 'The Suburbs'. Este nuevo doble disco, un trabajo de pop puro, está levantando grandes pasiones, así como críticas de todo pelaje, dando muestras de que no ha pasado ni va a pasar desapercibido.
Su duración, nada menos que 75 minutos para tan sólo 13 canciones, lo convierte casi en un experimento cultural posmoderno. Eso sí, unas dependen de las otras, hasta el punto de formar una única pieza de arte. En unos momentos en los que el mercado musical parece más dominado por la industria del merchandising que por las siete notas sobre el pentagrama, es de agradecer que otro tipo de propuestas tengan tanto éxito entre el público.
Trapped in a prism, in a prism of light
Alone in the darkness, darkness of white
We fell in love, alone on a stage
In the reflective age
Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.
Entre les royaumes, des vivants et des morts.
If this is heaven
I don't know what it's for
If I can't find you there
I don't care
I thought, I found a way to enter
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought, I found the connector
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Now, the signals we send, are deflected again
We're still connected, but are we even friends?
We fell in love when I was nineteen
And I was staring at a screen
Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.
Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts.
If this is heaven
I need something more
Just a place to be alone
'Cause you're my home
I thought, I found a way to enter
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought, I found the connector
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Just a Reflektor
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Reflektor (Just a Reflektor)
(Just a Reflektor) just a Reflektor
(Just a Reflektor) just a Reflektor (Reflektor)
(Just a Reflektor)
(Just a Reflektor)
(Just a Reflektor, just a Reflektor)
(Just a Reflektor, just a Reflektor)
Just a reflection, of a reflection
Of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection
Will I see you on the other side? (Just a Reflektor)
We all got things to hide (Just a Reflektor)
It's just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection
Will I see you on the other side? (Just a Reflektor)
We all got things to hide (Just a Reflektor)
Alright, let's go back
Our song escapes, on little silver discs
Our love is plastic, we'll break it to bits
I want to break free, but will they break me?
Down, down, down, don't mess around
I thought, I found a way to enter
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought, I found the connector
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It's just a Reflektor
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring me to the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring to me the resurrector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring to me the resurrector
Turns out you were just a Reflektor
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
(It's just a Reflektor) Just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side?
It's just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side? (Reflektor)
We all got things to hide (Reflektor)
Just a Reflektor
Will I see you on the other side?
