Lied van de week : week 48 - 2010

Anyone's ghost - The National



live voor Studio Brussel "Club 69"


Ook The National leverde al eens eerder dit jaar een "lied van de week", en ook met de nieuwe single is het raak. Dat komt natuurlijk ook doordat hun album, High violet, één van de platen van het jaar zou kunnen worden, en vol goeie nummers staat. En dit liedje is niet meer weg te branden uit mijn hoofd...

Je kan het album High violet hier kopen.

Lyrics :


Say you stay at home
Alone with the flu
Find out from friends
That wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on, again
And walk through the Manhattan valleys of, the dead


Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

You said I came close


As anyone has come
To live underwater
For more than a month
You said it was not inside my heart, it was
You said it should tear a kid apart, it does

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else


I had a hole in the middle where the lightning went through it
Told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone's sideshow wouldn't do it
I told my friends not to worry

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
