Lied van de week: week 24 - 2014

Reservoir - Metronomy

Een fantastisch naïef nummer van Metronomy, dat vergezeld is van een kinderlijke naïeve clip, dat is een uitstekende keuze voor "lied van de week". Eigenlijk hoort daar amper meer uitleg mee...
Ik had overigens nog nooit eerder van deze Britten gehoord, hoewel de groep al opgericht werd in 1999 en hun nieuwste plaat, Love letters, al hun vierde werkstuk is. Hun debuut verscheen in 2006. Ze remixten ook al duchtig, voor onder meer Air, Charlotte Gainsbourg, CSS, Franz Ferdinand, Goldfrapp, Gorillaz, Kate Nash, Klaxons, Lady Gaga, Lykke Li, Roots Manuva en Sébastien Tellier.

Lyrics:

I heard you made the hull of a boat downtown
I heard you got a job at the builders yard
But we should never say that we drifted far
Yeah we should never say that we drifted far

And I could never take good care of you
Because we had so much to lose
But we should never say that we drifted far
Yeah we should take a trip to the reservoir
Yeah we should take a trip to the reservoir

Heartbeats drifting together
Heartbeats aaaaah
Walk in the wood
wet under foot
Up to no good
ah-ah-ah-ah

I heard you cast off and she sailed real fine
I heard you met her bow with a bottle of wine
Well you should let me know when you're home and dry
Well you should let me know when you're home and dry

I heard you took an old school friend with you
The one you always said you would
Well we can never say that we drifted far

Yeah we should take a trip to the reservoir
Yeah we should take a trip to the reservoir

Heartbeats drifting together
Heartbeats aaaaah
Walk in the wood
wet under foot
Up to no good
ah-ah-ah-ah
