Lied van de week: week 6 - 2016

Wide open - The Chemical Brothers featuring Beck

Ah, The Chemical Brothers! Ah, Beck! Twee artiesten die al zoveel moois gemaakt hebben dat je hen de occasionele miskleun met plezier vergeeft...
De nieuwe single heeft geen splijtende beats nodig noch een catchy meezing- of meebrulrefreintje om te bekoren. Toegegeven, aanvankelijk dacht ik dat het maar slappe kost zou worden, maar gaandeweg groeide deze song. Wellicht is het toch nodig je verwachtingspatroon bij te stellen of achterwege te laten.

Je vindt dit nummer ook op het nieuwe album Born in the echoes, dat je hier kan kopen.

Lyrics:

I'm wide open
But don't I please you anymore?
You're slipping away from me
You're drifting away from me
 
I'm wide open
But don't I please you anymore?
You're slipping away from me
You're slipping away from me
 
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
 
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
 
I'm wide open
But I couldn't see it anymore
You're drifting away from me
You're slipping away from me
 
I'm wide open
I'm wide open
I'm wide open
 
One day just gonna see me
Look back and forth from the ceiling
(I'm wide open)
Some day love's gonna hurt me
Turn back and soon I'll believe it
 
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
 
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
 
I'm wide open
I'm wide open
 
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
