Had to hear - Real Estate

 

De New Yorkse band Real Estate heb ik al meermaals horen noemen als een band om in het oog te houden. Dit jaar brachten ze hun derde album uit, Atlas, dat ik na de kennismaking met deze single beslist eens wil beluisteren. Dit nummer heeft alvast de flow van de jaren negentig mee en kan zich ook beroemen op een zomerse tint hier en daar.

Je kan het album Atlas hier kopen.

Lyrics:

I'm out again on my own
A reflection in the chrome
Of an adding machine
It's been so long
My mind is drawing a blank
Don't know if I can go back
But to live out this dream
It's just my luck
I call you up

I had to hear you just to feel near you
I know it's not true
But it's been so long
I know it's wrong
I know

I don't need the horizon to tell me where the sky ends
Its a subtle landscape where I come from
I'm out again on my own
A reflection in the chrome
Of an adding machine
It's been so long
I call you up

I had to hear you just to feel near you
I know it's not true
But it's been so long
I know it's wrong
I know
