Reseña
Tras doce años "desenchufados" de los estudios de grabación, los componentes de la banda británica Blur vuelven a reunirse para ofrecernos un nuevo disco, el octavo en su carrera musical, titulado esta vez "The Magic Whip", publicado en abril de 2015.
Las grabaciones para este nuevo álbum de Blur se realizaron en Hong Kong durante un descanso de la banda en su gira asiática de 2013. La producción corre a cargo de Graham Coxon y Stephen Street, productor este último de los primeros discos de Blur.
"The Magic Whip" es el primer álbum grabado desde 1999 por los cuatro componentes de la formación original y aparece tras el anterior trabajo de la banda, hace más de una década, "Think tank". El nuevo trabajo de Blur supone el regreso del guitarrista Graham Coxon a la banda inglesa tras su abandono en el año 2002 por diferencias artísticas con el resto de miembros.
Tras haberse reunido ocasionalmente los cuatro músicos en diversos escenarios tocando sus viejos temas, finalmente decidieron encerrarse en los estudios Avon de Kowloon, en Hong Kong, durante el descanso de cinco días que la banda tuvo en su gira de 2013. Ahí realizaron las grabaciones previas, aunque la producción final del disco se realizó en 2014.

[X]letra de Lonesome Street
What do you got?
Mass produced in somewhere hot
You'll have to go on the Underground
To get things done here
(And then you have to see)
If you need a yellow duck - service done
This is a place to come to, or, well, it was
I know a hot spot
Crossing on the guillotine
And if you have nobody left to rely on
I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift
It's got to be that time again
And June, June will be over soon again
So get yourself up, get past on your way
There's nothing to be ashamed of
Taking off again
The 514 to East Grinstead
(You've sent me off to see)
We're going up, up, up, up, up
Coursing on our greatest night
And talking types will let us down, again
Talk, talk on your arse all night
You wanna be there
Step inside the tarmac ride
To the land that crime forgot
Oh, just don't go there
Cracks inside the tarmac ride
To the land that crime forgot, oh no
And if you have nobody left to rely on
I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift
Going down to Lonesome Street
Going down to Lonesome Street
Lonesome Street
Going down to Lonesome Street
Lonesome Street
Going down to Lonesome Street
Lonesome Street - New World TowersVer letra 4:02
[X]letra de New World Towers
Green, green, the neon green
New world towers
Carved out of grey white skies
Twenty four hours
I glide through the glass arcade to Hollywood
The cycle path it leaves me dreaming of
Love, love, so far away
New world towers
Logging your name and pray
Twenty four hours
Green turns to red and blue
And time relates
To us all again
And see the rescue
Green, green, the neon green
New world towers
Plane flying overhead
Satellite showers
Falls like confetti on the calvalcade
The flashboat seas?
No longer is
Reflecting in you
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on a left hand
Seven on me
Seven on me
Love, love, so far away
New world towers
Carved out of grey white sky
Twenty four hours
Green turns to red and blue
And time relates
The flashboat seas?
No longer is
Reflecting in you
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on a left hand
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on me
Seven on the left hand
Seven on me - Go OutVer letra 4:40
[X]letra de Go Out
Uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh,
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
I'm gettin' sad alone, dancing with myself
Greedy go-getter goal, the luxury of stealth
I'm seedy and the whole, dancing with myself
I get into my bed, I do it to myself
To the local, to the lo-o-o, I go out
To the local, by myself
To the local
I did it to my head, there's nothing to be addressed now
There's nothing to get up about, cause we do it all the time
The shepherd is undone, she done it all again
I get ready to go, the greed go-getter con
He going to the local oohh
He going to the local oohh
He going to the lo-o-cal oohh
He going to the lo-o-cal oohh
To many western men, it's a problem left undone
Imperious the sign, the papers of luxury
A greedy go-getter in the skybox, she run alone
She get ready to go, she does it with herself
She does it with herself
She does it with herself
She does it on her own
She does it on her own
Uh, uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh - Ice Cream ManVer letra 3:23
[X]letra de Ice Cream Man
Here comes the ice cream man
Parked to the end of the road
With a swish of his magic whip
All the people in the party froze
Screwball, chocolate chip
Umbrella in his white glove hand
Shade from the sun was his intention
Here comes the ice cream man
Bouncing up the hill
With a whip of pumpkin lick
Happy that the cones he fills, for
All the Lantern men marching down till dawn
Morning come, he fall over
Something new
Something you
Something you'd
Here comes the ice cream man
Parked to the end of the road
With a swish of his magic whip
All the people in the party froze
I was only 21 when I watched it on TV
I was racing in my heart and then
Something new
(Oh oh-oh oh)
Something new
Something new
(Oh oh-oh oh)
Something new
(Something you do nothing about)
Something new
(Oh oh-oh oh)
Something new
(Here comes the ice cream man, out with his magic whip)
Something new
(Always sold out by nine, so you better come and get it quick)
Something new
(Oh oh-oh oh)
Something new - Thought I Was a SpacemanVer letra 6:16
[X]letra de Thought I Was a Spaceman
Thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dunes
In a carpark
Cause the desert had encroached upon
The places where we live
People like me find it
To keep the day upset
But we never succeeded
We never succeeded
In fact we failed
Thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dune
In a car park
By the empty harbor
Where the junkball phantoms flow
The fight for happy valley
Sadly, the line wrote
Thought I found my black box
Washed up on the shore
All outlying islands
What's the land for
Thought I thought I'd found it
But that was not true at all
I'd walked into a bar
Raised hell
Cut the cast without me
Always and always the same
But the ghost in writing
And let it be you again
Thought I was a spaceman
Digging out my heart
In some distant sand dune
In Hyde Park
Thought I was a spaceman
Digging up my heart
In some distant sand dune
You again
Thought I was a spaceman
Digging up my heart
In some distant sand dune
You again
You again
You again Músicos invitados: Stephen Street (Synthesizer), Stephen Street (Drum Programming), Stephen Street (Cymbal) - I BroadcastVer letra 2:52
[X]letra de I Broadcast
I love the aspects of another city
The representatives are alright
In circulation the snake and the tiger
Waking up and shaving in industrial life
I broadcast
Closing on another day now
All for a cold sore
Something out of nothing
I love the aspects of another city
It's got your number and your blood type
They been intentious, so need some focus
The apparitions of another prodigal night, right?
I broadcast
Closing on another day now
All for a high score
Something out of nothing
I broadcast!
I'm running, I'm running, i'm running
I broadcast
Closing on another day now
All for a cold sore
Something out of nothing
I broadcast
Closing on another dat now
All for a cold sore
Something I know nothing Músicos invitados: Stephen Street (Drum Programming) - My Terracotta HeartVer letra 4:05
[X]letra de My Terracotta Heart
And the bright breeze we got in summertime
Seemed like a breath of fresh air back in the summertime
When we were more like brothers, that was years ago
So if it doesn't sing like a broken chord
I'm running out of heart today
I'm running out of open road to you
When I know you are emoting and you're dazed
Is something broke inside you?
'Cause at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
And when we fly tomorrow over the Java sea
And my younger match will be there with me
'Cause they remind me of swimming out too far one day
When the coral was gone, but I didn't care anyway
I was running out of heart that day
I was running out of open road to you
And I know I was emoted, I was dazed
Is something broke inside me?
'Cause at the moment I'm lost and feeling that I don't know
If I'm losing you again
I’m running out of heartache
Just sitting out the constant doubt in my day
But I don't know what it is
I'm sweating out the toxins
Is my terracotta heart breaking?
I don't know if I'm losing you
If I'm losing you again Músicos invitados: James Dring (Drum Programming) - There Are Too Many of UsVer letra 4:26
[X]letra de There Are Too Many of Us
There are too many of us
That's plain to see
We all believe in praying
For our immortality
We've posed these questions to our children
Across the mountain stream
And live in tiny houses
Of the same mistakes we've made
'Cause there are too many of us
In tiny houses here and there
Passing out somewhere
But you won't care
There are too many of us
That's plain to see
We all believe in praying
For our immortality
For a moment I was dislocated
My terror on the loop, elsewhere
Flashing lights are vacating
On the big screens everywhere
There are too many of us
In tiny houses, here and there
All looking through the windows
On everything we share
We pose these questions to our children
Leave the mountain stream
And live in tiny houses
Of the same mistakes we make
There are too many of us
Oh, that's plain to see
All living in tiny houses
About our immortality Músicos invitados: Antonia Pagulatos (Strings), Isabelle Dunn (Strings), Kotono Sato (Strings), Stella Page (Strings), Stephen Street (Tambourine) - Ghost ShipVer letra 4:59
[X]letra de Ghost Ship
I remember flashbacks lighting up magic whip
Eight o'clock, Kowloon emptiness, handle it
The wide old sea image I had to view 11 seconds ago
I didn't send you, so you will never know
I got away for a little while
But then it came back much harder
Swinging on the cable line to Po Lin
Climbing panda, ghostly wine and a battery
That light in your eyes, I search for religiously
Oh, when it's not there, oh Lord, it's hurting me
I got away for a little while
But then it came back much harder
Till I ever hold you out there again
Will you be mine?
Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart
In Hong Kong
It's the last ride boarding here tonight
Out in the bay (out in the bay)
I'll need a lantern in you to shine out
Bright rays
Feelin' outta body here, what can I do?
It's up to the top everyday to join here with you
I had to get away for a little while
But then it came back much harder Músicos invitados: Stephen Street (Saxophone [Keys]) - PyongyangVer letra 5:38
[X]letra de Pyongyang
I look down from my window
To the island where I'm held
Listen while you're sleeping
Darkness is itself
Tomorrow I am disappearing
Cause the trees are amplified
Never ending broadcasts
To which I do not despite
Kid the mausoleum's fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders is fading
By the time your sun is rising there
Out here it's turning blue
The silver rockets coming
And the cherry trees of Pyongyang
I'm leaving
I feel like I'm floating
Persisting autotune
but never-ending roll on
To the palace of the doom
The temperature keeps falling
Soon there will be no lights
Just a red glow of glass coffins
Watched by someone through the night
Kid the mausoleum's fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders
Is fading
By the time your sun is rising there
Out here it's turning blue
The silver rockets coming
And the cherry trees of Pyongyang
I'm leaving
(Soon there will be no light, someone through the night)
Kid the mausoleum's fallen
And the perfect avenues
Will seem empty without you
And the pink light that bathes the great leaders
Is fading
By the time your sun is rising there
Out here it's turning blue
The silver rockets coming
And the cherry trees of Pyongyang
But I'm leaving - Ong OngVer letra 3:06
[X]letra de Ong Ong
(La la la)
I got on a boat on a hot sunny day
To get out of this town
'Cause the tarmac was melting and the people seemed to sway
Stuck in the underground
To the isle of the black kites and the wishing tree
I wanna be with you
On the slow boat to Lantau through misty seas
I wanna be with you
I pulled out the harbour with precession behind
And I'm feeling the love of you
So you better get to charge until I see you again
You know just what to do
If you're caught up in the gales on the junk boat sea
I wanna be with you
Whit the pilgrims the mountains in the high trapeze
I wanna be with you
If you're the landlord, the social on P.S.T
I wanna be with you
On an island of rainclouds and verdant seas
I will be there with you
Oh
(La la la) - MirrorballVer letra 3:37
[X]letra de Mirrorball
Mirrorball on a Jordan train
I was under sea then up for air
I did not retain
Ocean Park, where the seagulls cry
I remember flying dragons too
I was there with you
So before you log out
Hold close to me
Hold close to me
I'll be back, when December comes
All the barriers have been pulled down
Where is everyone?
Oh, mirrorball, you're spinning out to sea
Think I found you in the Temple Square
Under the wishing tree
So cry your eyes out
Oh, close to me
Hold close to me
I cried my eyes out
Oh, close to me
Hold close to me
Hold close to me
Hold close to me Músicos invitados: Stephen Street (Percussion), Antonia Pagulatos (Strings), Isabelle Dunn (Strings), Kotono Sato (Strings), Stella Page (Strings)
