A New Morning es un álbum de Suede, publicado en 2002 por Epic. El disco incluye 10 canciones, entre ellas «Positivity», «Obsessions», «Lonely Girls» y «Lost in TV».
Sobre el álbum
El álbum A New Morning fue grabado en un período de gran dificultad para la banda, marcado por problemas personales y una sensación general de agotamiento creativo. El proceso de grabación fue largo y costoso, con la banda luchando por encontrar una nueva dirección. El título del disco refleja un intento de optimismo y un deseo de empezar de nuevo, aunque el resultado final es a menudo considerado su trabajo más débil.
El sonido del álbum es más suave y acústico en comparación con sus predecesores, con un enfoque en el pop de medio tiempo. El single principal, "Positivity", es un buen ejemplo, una canción con un mensaje optimista pero que carece de la chispa y el dramatismo de sus mejores obras. Baladas como "Obsessions" son agradables, pero no logran el impacto emocional de sus trabajos anteriores.
Poco después del lanzamiento de este disco, que tuvo una tibia acogida comercial y de crítica, Suede anunciaría su separación. La biografía de Suede entraría en un largo paréntesis de casi una década. "A New Morning" a menudo es visto como el sonido de una banda que se estaba quedando sin energía, un final discreto para una de las carreras más vibrantes del rock británico.

Letra
You say what you want to say Your diamonds are drops of rain Your smile is your credit card And your currency is your love And the morning is for you And the air is free And the birds sing for you And your positivity Watch out So you play where you want to play On the main streets where the creeps all pray And you can feel like you're in dynasty And you can be what you want to be And the morning is for you And the air is free And the birds sing for you And your positivity And the cars crash for you And the sunshine is free And the sirens call you Yes the morning is for you Yes the air is free And yes the world spins for you And your positivity Positivity - Obsessions4:11
Letra
It's the way you pick your clothes off the floor It's the way you scratch your skin when you yawn It's the t-shirts that you choose like you're in the air force Yeah the language that you use reacts like chemicals Obsessions in my head don't connect with my intellect It's called obsession can you handle it? It's connected to the hip sound and it moves with the underground It's called obsession when you're around It's the way you close the doors of my car It's the stupid things you bought with my credit card It's the way you don't read Camus or Bret Easton Ellis Yeah the TCP you use it stings when we kiss Obsessions in my head don't connect with my intellect It's called obsession can you handle it? It's connected to the hip sound and it moves with the underground It's called obsession when you're around Obessions it's like sex it's simple and complex It's called obsession can you handle it? It's connected to the hip sound and it moves with the underground It's called obsession when you're around - Lonely Girls3:13
Letra
Stephanie stares at the posters on the wall Tina sits and waits for a telephone call Maxine mixes alcohol with polythene and paint Sylvia stays in bed on her own She can hear the cars outside and wonders where they go And if you call her answerphone she'll get back to you one day And lonely girls lonely girls fill the world Oh Julia dreams while she's typing away Jackie kills time while the company pays Tracy still hears 808s ringing in her brain Jane slaps paint on the walls of her home Lydia sings when she thinks she's alone Jean gets drunk and wanders home through the car parks that eat her change Yeah lonely girls lonely girls fill the world And they smile through the summer And laugh in the rain And sing through the winter But never show the pain Oh sometimes our lives are not what they seem Sometimes things aren't like they are in lifestyle magazines We see what we want to see In this miracle of clay Where lonely girls lonely girls fill the world - Lost in TV3:40
Letra
I see you in my life I see you on the screen An ascending socialite Orbiting the scene Everybody wants you now Everybody wants to be a part of your crowd But baby it seems sometimes you're lost in TV Lost in a dream baby We wander through our minds With images and scenes With animated lives Rehearsing for our dreams Everybody wants it now Everybody wants to be a face in the crowd But baby it seems sometimes we're lost in TV Trapped in a screen lost in a scene Lost in TV baby Everybody wants it now Everybody wants to be a face in the crowd But baby it seems sometimes we're lost in TV Lost in a dream baby - Beautiful Loser3:38
Letra
You belong among the wild flowers Picked at the side of the road You belong among the silent hours And broken telephones You belong among the TV screens With the sound turned down again You belong where there's CCTV Watching you every day Well you beautiful loser Well you beautiful lay Well you beautiful loser You're coming down the hard way You belong under electric lights With the hand-me-down surrounds You belong out in the countryside With your hands deep down in the ground Well you beautiful loser Well you beautiful lay Well you beautiful loser I said you're coming down the hard way Your brain is drip-connected to the satellite Your heart is not a part of your brain Aesthetics and inventions well they pass you by And complicate your day You belong sat on a motorbike Doing 161 in the rain 50cc through the wild life Getting trashed in the slow lane Well you beautiful loser Well you beautiful lay Well you beautiful loser I said you're coming down the hard way Well you loser Well you beautiful lay Well you beautiful loser You're coming down the hard way You're coming down the hard way You're coming down the hard way - Streetlife2:51
Letra
Street life into the night with the syncopated melodies Street life look left look right you've got lips from a magazine Cheap sound that comes from underground communicates to everyone Street life it's alright you get your tips from a popular song It's the beat of the concrete street that you'll love for a million years It's the sound that comes from underground that's got you clapping got you shaking your rears Street life Street life step to the mike with your sexual equality Street life look left look right you've got lips from a magazine Cheap sound that comes from underground is like a bass drum kicking along Street life sweet life cheap life it's the street life going on and on To the beat of the concrete street you can live for a million years The dumb sound that comes from underground that's got you clapping got you shaking your rears Street life It's all you know It's all you see It's all you follow It's all you believe Move your feet to the concrete beat and you can live for a million years To the sound that comes from underground, clap your hands get shaking your rears Street life Street life - Astrogirl4:35
Letra
A strange relationship has started A strange relationship indeed It's like a watercolour forming Between the pages of a dream And it's calling you It's calling me It's calling everyone to be In a future world with an astrogirl Where one on one is all you need In a future world with an astrogirl One on one is all you need A strange experience has started Between her molecules and me It's like disease between us forming From obsolete technology And it's calling you It's calling me It's calling everyone to be In a future world with an astrogirl Where one on one is all you need In a future world with an astrogirl The sky goes on and on for you and me The sky goes on and on for you and me The sky goes on and on for you and me In a future world with an astrogirl There'll be no obstacles you'll see Cos we'll be making friends with the superman Where the sky goes on and on for you and me The sky goes on and on for you and me The sky goes on and on for you The sky goes on and on - One Hit to the Body3:07
Letra
Is it my imagination Or is that a cardboard sky? Is it just this situation That's made me lose my mind? I don't need you to be sorry I just wanted you to know That this is one hit to the body One hit to the soul It's one hit to the body that won't show There's a million constellations Up in the make believe sky And a million dead end situations You could leave behind And the lights and the lorries could show you which way to go And this is one hit to the body One hit to the soul It's one hit to the body that won't show Is it something in the air that you breathe? Is it something in the books that you read? Is it something in the things that you do? Is it something in the words that you use? Cos the lights and the lorries will show you where you want to go And this is one hit to the body One hit to the soul It's one hit to the body that won't show Well I don't really need anybody I just wanted you to know That this is one hit to the body that won't show That won't show - When the Rain Falls4:48
Letra
Come out tonight in the puddles Splash some love across the sky Just you and I bursting bubbles As the sky is about to cry When the rain falls There's magic in our lives When the rain falls We're happy deep inside When the rain falls It cleans away the corners of our minds When all the world looks like Atlantis And cars sit rusting in the drives Just step outside and hit the concrete pavement As the rain falls down for you and I When the rain falls The pretty people run When the rain falls The colours cloud the sun When the rain falls We'll sit and watch the children hurry home Rain falls Rain falls Rain falls And when everything is blue or green or green or blue or grey I cross the street to catch the beat of my heart And I watch it all cos there's nothing else to do today And I watch it all fall so hard - You Belong to Me17:29
Letra
Oh, well you might have some conversation Smashed in a bar Clocking all of the disco dolls that blind you Or check out some mad situations Some silly farce So real, you can feel it twist inside you But everywhere you go Everything you do Every place you know Every word you choose I'm in everybody's eyes Everybody's lives I'm in everything you see You belong to me Oh, well you might walk down by the station through garbage and rust And breath in all the diseases just like I do Or driving through some conurbation you'll step on the gas And I'll be sat right there beside you Cos everywhere you go Everything you do Every place you know Every word you choose I'm in everybody's eyes Everybody's lies I'm in everything you see You belong to me Well you can smash the windows and break some faces or spray graffiti on public places or act round some dead town But I'll be there Cos everywhere you go Everything you do Every place you know Every word you choose I'm in everybody's eyes Everybody's lies I'm in everything you see You belong to me
