Reseña

La discografía de Duran Duran presenta con este álbum de 2004 uno de los regresos más esperados de la historia del pop. 'Astronaut', de hecho, es el disco que reunió a la formación original y más exitosa de la banda (Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, Andy Taylor y Roger Taylor) por primera vez en casi dos décadas. Por lo tanto, el álbum fue recibido con una enorme expectación por sus seguidores de todo el mundo.

En consecuencia, el sonido del disco es un intento de recuperar la magia de su época dorada, pero con una producción moderna y potente. La banda busca un equilibrio entre el synth-pop de sus inicios, el funk-rock y las guitarras más contundentes. Como resultado, 'Astronaut' suena a la vez clásico y contemporáneo.

Además, el álbum contiene el exitoso sencillo "(Reach Up for the) Sunrise", una canción que recupera a la perfección la energía y el optimismo de sus mejores himnos de los 80. Por otro lado, temas como "What Happens Tomorrow" o "Astronaut" demuestran que su talento para la melodía y los estribillos pegadizos seguía intacto.

La química entre los cinco miembros es palpable, especialmente la interacción entre los sintetizadores de Rhodes, el bajo de John Taylor y la guitarra de Andy Taylor. En definitiva, 'Astronaut' es un regreso triunfal, un trabajo que demostró que, a pesar del paso del tiempo, la magia de la formación clásica de Duran Duran era indestructible.

letra de (Reach Up For The) Sunrise
Now the time has come, the music between us
Though the night seems young - is at an end
Only change will bring you out of the darkness
In this moment everything is born again

Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

Now the fireball burns, we go round together
As the planet turns into the light
Something more than dreams to watch out for each other?
'Cause we know what it means to be alive

Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

Feel the new day enter your life

Reach up for the sunrise
Put your hands into the big sky
You can touch the sunrise
Feel the new day enter your life

letra de Want You More
you had plans all along
must have me seen me coming down a mile above the ground
'cos I am weak where you are strong
it's a thrill that makes me curious!

whatever i'm thinking of you always seem to know
'cos nothing is good enough
there's always something to keep me guessing

why does it feel right if you're just faking?
what if you knew you could?
what if you get up on manipulating?
why does it feel so good?

drive in the car turn up the sound
gets your head in the ailes don't matter, gonna feel the blast
I pick you up, you throw me down and it only gets more serious!

what could you be thinking of?
you never let it show
'cos you give me just enough
there's always something you keep me coming!

why does it feel right if you're just faking?
what if you knew you could?
what if you get up on manipulating?
why does it feel so good?

why do I want you more? why do I want you?
why do I feel so torn?
why do I want you more? why do I want you?
why do I want you more!?

what could you be thinking of?
you never let it show
''cos you just give me just enough
there's always something
you keep me coming
just keep me coming!

why does it feel right if you're just faking?
what if you knew you could?
what if you get up on manipulating?
why does it feel so good?

why do I want you more? why do I want you?
why do I feel so torn?
why do I want you more? why do I want you?
why do I want you more!?
why do I want…

letra de What Happens Tomorrow
child, don't you worry
it's enough you're growing up in such a hurry
brings you down the news they sell you
to put in your mind that all mankind is a failure

but nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow
we try not to show how frightened we are

if you let me I'll protect you however I can
you've got to believe it'll be alright in the end
you've got to believe it'll be alright again (again)

fighting because we're so close
there are times we punish those who we need the most
no we can't wait for a Saviour
only got ourselves to blame for this behaviour

and nobody knows (nobody knows...) what's gonna happen tomorrow
we try not to show how frightened we are

it would seem lonely
if you were the only star in the night?

you've got to believe it'll be alright in the end
you've got to believe it'll be alright again

and nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow (nobody knows…)
so don't let go, now we've come this far

hold my hand please, understand me
you'll never alone…

we've got to believe it'll be alright in the end (nobody knows...)
you've got to believe it'll be alright my friend (so don't let go…)
and yes we believe it'll be alright again (so don't let go…)

letra de Astronaut
makes my hair stand up on end
something alien happenin'
synchronise but don't comprehend
'cos where I stop that's where you begin

another moment, I dawn it
a pleasure rising when I take the hit
and I'm addicted to the state you're in
'cos you're getting me out of it

wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut

grooving out to X-ray specs
something tells me you're the alien sex
I can't imagine now what comes next
when this astronaut connects

comin' on when I touch your skin
a kind of strange light you emit
I feel your gravity pull me in
now you're getting me out of it

wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut

bare-feet for quantum leap
because space is hot and deep
and we follow giant footprints as we fall
in falling like the twins
through Saturn's holy rings
and if they can't hold us
where it's gonna end up?
Anybody knows...

an astronaut…
an astronaut…

wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut

wasted there's nothing gonna ace this
and we're gonna go to space, yeah
'cos I'm leaving with an astronaut
an astronaut…

letra de Bedroom Toys
you want it...you got it… now what you gonna do with it?
you want it...you got it… now what you gonna do with it?

I been around the world I seen a lot of things
that make your chicken curl
you're squeezing like boys and teasing like girls
confusing like boys and girls
plan an exit route...parachute...rubber suit
are you ready for a little swim?
there's regular...queen size...flip it on the b side...solid gold

oh my God what's this?

I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm stalling
I can't believe my eyes
I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm crawling
I learn to improvise

checking out the five star atmosphere
you want some expertise
if you got treasure, I'll pay you for the pleasure
it'll bring you to your knees
silicone romance, what's your name fancypants
got your eye on the employees
forget about the reeling, talk about the feeling Solid Gold

oh my God what's this?

I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm stalling
I can't believe my eyes
I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm crawling
I learn to improvise

you want it...you got it… now what you gonna do with it?
you want it...you got it… now what you gonna do with it?

now you washed up, beat smashing grab no receipt
takes the platinum off your shine
Lazy bed star, la di da, petty bourgeois
oh my would you look at the time
until you wise up, you know we're gonna line up
the pimps and snitches to dip into your riches
if you can't destroy it, you might as well enjoy it Solid Gold

oh my God what's this?

I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm stalling
I can't believe my eyes
I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm crawling
I learn to improvise
I saw the bedroom toys, now I'm crawling
I learn to improvise…

letra de Nice
(there is nothing better than being with you
and I'm feeling so Nice!)

take the beautiful sting of a scorpio
a careless smile and it begins to snow
and it hurts me to think that you might never know
that I've got this thing about you

in case you don't understand
there's something else I meant to tell you…

there is nothng better than being with you
and I'm feeling so Nice!
there is nowhere better than here with you
and it's feeling so Nice!

staying up with the moon and walking home in the rain
mixed with your perfume and never twice the same
I got a lot to lose but everything to gain when I really think about it

you haven't got a clue
it's all that I can do to hide it

there is nothng better than being with you
and I'm feeling so Nice!
there is nowhere better than here with you
and it's feeling so Nice!

did I already say
because you make me forget
I might as well be brave and tell you

and it hurts me to think that you might never know
will it hurt as much being true?
I might as well be brave and tell you...

there is nothng better than being with you
and I'm feeling so Nice!
there is nowhere better than here with you
and it's feeling so Nice!

there is nothng better than being with you
and I'm feeling so Nice!
… yeah i'm feeling... and it's feeling so Nice !

letra de Taste The Summer
can you taste the summer?
can you taste the summer?

can you, can you taste the summer?
I do! I find it in your mouth
now if I have a weakness it's for sweetness
and it's floating on your breath as sweet as melody

can you taste the summer?
can you taste the summer?

sure we can make it 'till the evenings
cool haze is reflected of your thies
long days are coming up, they're staying out and playing
music off the falling stars a melody…

can you taste the summer?
can you taste the summer?

wild orchid and the wind you know just where it's blowing
so fresh from your lips is born the melody...

(taste the summer) can you taste the summer?
(taste the summer) can you taste the summer?...
taste The Summer !

letra de Finest Hour
How does it feel out on the ice?
You speak to the crowd but nobody hears
It's not a dream and you are no prize
And you're not alone come in from the fear

Gonna take it back, take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back, you've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand the finest hour that we see

When did our choice become erased?
Where is the violence in this crowd?
Now that our voice has been replaced
With a silence that screams out loud

Gonna take it back, take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back, you've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand the finest hour that we see

Gonna take it back, take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back, you've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand the finest hour that we see…

Take it back, take back the life that you wanna lead
Been under quiet attack, but now it's time for you and me
Gonna take it back, you've got to fight for what you believe
We're gonna make this stand the finest hour that we see…
The finest hour that we see…
We're gonna make this stand the finest hour that we see…

letra de Chains
an hour since the sundown the ghosts are creepin in
are gathering around me like starlings in the wind
dark shapes gather round…

voices like my brother's are whispering to me
but I don't know these others who want to set me free
come home you're out of time…

but the life cannot let go
it's a chain cuts across my soul
anchoring in this world...

I put my hand into the flame
burning but I feel no pain
don't speak, don't speak my name
hold on to this life of chains

the door is standing open but I'm too tired to be afraid
my whole life's in this moment I've been fighting all the way
just need a little more time…

cuz the life just can't let go
it's a chain cuts across my soul
anchoring in this world...

I put my hand into the flame
burning but I feel no pain
don't speak, don't speak my name
hold on to this life of chains

I put my hand into the flame
burning but I feel no pain
don't speak, don't speak my name
hold on to this life of chains...

chains...chains...chains...

letra de One Of Those Days
One,two.One,two. One,two.One,two. Suddenly it all looks so familiar
Gone and wrecked it like I always did
Don't you know it?
Life is out to kill 'ya
But you still go getting on with it

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
Oh now nothing's gonna bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one

They can drag me to the gates of hell now
There's nothing left but I'm still hanging in
Not for me, ain't no final showdown
I'm too shattered to do anything

Seen better times than right now
But I'm not running away
'Cause nothing's going to bring me down

It's just been one of those days
I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry

I'm not the only one feeling this way
And I'm not sorry
Not running away

letra de Point Of No Return
The random aspects of our lives
Come together once in a while
So blinding and decidedly
Naivety falls from our eyes
And we'll not regain
As we watch the tower falling down

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

You know, you know there's no avoiding
The lesson to be learned
The lesson to be learned
The point of no return
We say: What if?
But can you live it?
It's all that we deserve
It's all that we deserve
The point of no return

Don't blame yourself
Don't blame me
But we're the ones
Who can feed the ground
So this poison tree, don't ever grow again
And from this glass and broken nerve
There is a way, there can be built
A better life for everyone

Maybe things can change
Only if you want
Maybe things can change
Only if you want

You know, you know there's no avoiding
The lesson to be learned
The lesson to be learned
The point of no return
We say: What if?
But can you live it?
It's all that we deserve
It's all that we deserve
The point of no return

letra de Still Breathing
Home, it's not brick or stone
Or comfort in the firelight
Not in that sense anyway
Dreams, if only I had known
But these things always seem
So much clearer at a distance

I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back there
I'd burn the place to the ground
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back there again

Words only could break that ring
You know the words still sting
So much harder than the blows ever did
Heart, though it's hot and violent
My head is cool and quiet
As the ashes that fall from the sky

I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back there
I burn the place to the ground
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back there again

Now, I know this shattered feeling
Trampled but still breathing

I'm just waiting for a good day
I'm walking out of this town
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back there
I've burn the place to the ground
I'm never going back there
I'm never going back there again
Never going back there again
I'm never going back there again
