Sobre el álbum

"The Blue Hour" aparece publicado el 21 de septiembre de 2018 bajo los sellos Suede Ltd. y Warner Music, contando con la producción del británico Alan Moulder y el teclista y vocalista de la banda, Neil Codling. Este álbum aparece dos años después de su anterior álbum "Night Thoughts", producido por Ed Buller y que obtuvo grandes halagos por parte de la crítica.

Para este octavo álbum de la banda londinense (tercero tras su anuncio de separación en 2003), el grupo hizo un anuncio en el mes de abril a través de la red social Instagram, aunque el título del álbum no se reveló hasta finales del mismo mes.

Pocos días antes del lanzamiento del álbum, Suede publicó un vídeo en Youtube con el tema "Flytipping", cuarto sencillo del álbum. El primer sencillo del disco es el titulado "The Invisibles", publicado el 3 de junio de 2018. Otros sencillo extraídos de este mismo disco han sido "Don't Be Afraid If Nobody Loves You" (12 de julio de 2018) y "Life Is Golden" (15 de agosto de 2018).

"The Blue Hour" es el primer disco en el que no ha participado el productor de referencia de Suede, Ed Buller, quien colaboraba con la banda desde el álbum "A New Morning" en 2002.

Los temas del disco hablan de la decadencia rural y cierra la trilogía del regreso, un regreso de la banda Suede que desde su anuncio de separación en 2003 han publicado "Bloodsports", "Night Thoughts" y ahora este "The Blue Hour".

  1. As One4:10

    Letra

    Oh I'm your blue eyed boy I'll suffer your indifference and You can teach me pretty words And we will feed the sparrows Here I am Here I am Talking to my shadow Head in my hands Here I am (here I am) Here I am (here I am) Run to the hill Counting the hay He leads me through the swaying nettles Growing by the underpass When he smiles he looks like a fox But when he holds me we will be as one As one As one As one Here I am Here I am Talking to my shadow Head in my hands Here I am (here I am) Here I am (here I am) Run to the hill Counting the hay
  2. Wastelands5:31

    Letra

    I watch you drift away Around the room in my dress The jewels on your bracelets Have seen their best I watch the sweat form Against your clothes I've seen the look on their faces I think they know That the clock is ticking away And the wind is calling us And the pleasantries will chain us No more When it all is much too much We'll run to the wastelands Where the snow is all there is And words sound different When it all is much too much Meet me in the wastelands Where the fear will fade away Where the children in us play I walk the smoky room And stumble into you The chattering of their voices Says nothing new But the clock is ticking away And the wind is calling us And the way you make your exits There are no words When it all is much too much We'll run to the wastelands At the car beside the roads And seek each other When it feels like much too much Meet me in the wastelands Where the horror slowly fades Where the children in us play When the world is much too much We'll run to the wastelands Leave footprints in the snow 'Til our ties are severed When it all is too much to much Meet me in the wastelands Make a chain of flowers Like our ties are severed When the world is much too much Meet me in the wastelands At the car beside the roads And seek each other When the world is much too much Meet me there in the wastelands And the wind is on our face And our veins are opened When the world is much too much Meet me in the wastelands Make a chain of flowers And the children in us play The sky was steely The countryside was bare Twigs crackled under Mole's feet Mole was alone And far from help And night was closing in
  3. Mistress3:23

    Letra

    On a day without a night Eyes the green of seawater And skin so white You're nothing like my mother Do you hold him like her? Do you need him like her? Is he all that you've got? Oh So you stayed with him again You fled with him And travelled in his car now, you're late To be with him and hold him He loves you like words He needs you like words You're not all that he's got But you're all that he wants Mistress stay with him Don't tell the neighbours They don't mean a thing Now you're in love You're in love By the camber of the road Celebrate your differences Free your ghosts Be with him and hold him He doesn't love you like her He doesn't need you like her You're not all that he's got But you're all that he wants Mistress stay with him I won't tell the neighbours They don't mean a thing Now you're in love You're in love You're in love (He said) Mistress stay with me Don't tell the people They don't need to see You're in love You're in love You're in love Ooooh

    Letra

    Ring-rounds, stairways, roundabouts I will pick you up Watching traffic heading south I will pick you up With your money in your face I will pick you up Friendship bracelets on your wrist I will pick you up Oh with our feet in the snow Oh where nobody goes Oh we'll feel like giving Go where the silence goes Oh where the strange ones will play Oh chalk circles and clay Oh we'll feel like giving Go where the silence goes Go where the silence goes Ring-rounds, stairways, roundabouts I will pick you up
  6. Cold Hands3:16

    Letra

    The playgrounds are empty The wind it is still I follow you up to the foot of the hill My life is the hands of a child The hands of a child Put your cold hands on me Take a spin of the wheel I'll follow, I'll follow you down With your cold hands on me I'm a hare in the cat's eyes A hare in the cat's eyes I kicked at the chalk Under vermillion skies I said "I don't wanna play these games" But I followed you and I And now I want to curl up and die I'll curl up and die With your cold hands on me With a spin of the wheel I'll follow, I'll follow you down Put your cold hands on me I'm a hare in the cat's eyes A hare in the cat's eyes Put your cold hands on me Take a spin of the wheel I'll follow, I'll follow you down With your cold hands on me I'm a hare in the cat's eyes Now see how a hare dies

    vídeo del tema Life Is Golden
    The same blood runs through your veins The same strange way of talking The same thoughts sink through your pillow The same crooked smile You're not alone; look up to the sky and be calm You're not alone look into the light and be heard You're never alone; your life is golden Golden The same blood runs through your veins But you have the light of your mother She holds her love to her Tender breast You're not alone; look up to the sky and be calm You're not alone look into the light and be heard You're never alone; your life is golden Golden You're not alone when the world puts all the winter in you Not alone, I'm there in the words that you use You're never alone; your life is golden Golden And they won't love you tonight Clap along to the resurrection Carve your name in my tender skin With your beautiful words With your beautiful words You're not alone; look up to the sky and be calm You're not alone look into the light and be heard You're never alone; your life is golden Golden You're not alone 'cause the same thoughts I have in my head You're not alone with the city wind in your hair You're never alone; your life is golden Golden
  8. Roadkill2:06

    Letra

    Today I found a dead bird Crushed into the realbland clay Brittle bones like snapped twigs Velvet for the scurrying things I cross myself, forlorn you lie Scraped and drossed by the wind Savaged by the tyres and tossed in the tar Broken on the English dirt A carcass for the carrion crow And for the beaks that peck Flesh beneath my flesh Soil beneath my soil Today I found a dead bird Blind are the brokers and the unskilled workers Blind are the brokers and the unskilled workers Your wings beneath their wheels Your wings beneath their wheels Blind are the brokers and the unskilled workers Blind are the brokers and the unskilled workers Your bones beneath their heels Today I found a dead bird
  9. Tides4:08

    Letra

    Tides are pulling, pulling me back to you Dragging me under, making me new It's wonderful, it's wonderful It's making me scared I don't know where it's going Clothed in pale gray Rolling like driftwood Waving at distant planes I feel it against my paper cuts And I'm holding onto nothing Clinging to the void as I'm riding the waves It's making me new again Like a rain of bombs we'll fall to you Through the blue, through the blue Tides are pulling me I'm lost in the pale rain I'm clutching at debris I'm trying to stay awake The water level rises I'm miles from the shore now And I'm riding the waves Dragging me under again Like a rain of bombs we'll fall to you Through the blue, through the blue Like a rain of bombs we'll drop from the sky A rain of fire, a rain of fire Tides are pulling, pulling me back to you Taking my hand, dragging me under It's wonderful, it's wonderful Pulling me under, pulling me through Tides are pulling, pulling me back to you Taking me over, making me new It's wonderful, it's wonderful Pulling me under, pulling me back to you

  12. All the Wild Places3:15

    Letra

    Take her cold hands Place the snowdrops in her palms And pushing through the wire I have no choice but to follow you Feel the weak sunlight on my skin As I take my spade and place her Forever by the birch trees And there was another But she wasn't tamed With the buzz of the flies With a flick of her mane And there was another But she wasn't you, you, you Out of all the wild places I love Out of all the wild places I love Out of all the wild places I love You are the most desolate Faith is scattered like the birds She would never bend to their Commandments in life Her freckled skin couldn't bear the weight Take her cold hand by the lake Place the spade into my amorous arms As I lie my coat down for her one more time And there was another But she wasn't changed With the buzz of the flies With the flick of her mane And there was another But we won't see her again, again, again Out of all the wild places I love Out of all the wild places I love Out of all the wild places I love Yours is the most desolate
  13. The Invisibles4:09
    vídeo del tema The Invisibles
    The world waits for you when And the dawn breaks for you when And the media will watch And she will change her mind I tried to win for you when I shed my skin for you when I loved you like my own I fed you like a child I stay in bed and feed the day With my imagination, honey Falling through the cracks in people's kindness And the world won't step aside I tried to make you want me I left my home at seventeen But everywhere I looked I saw Another me And we are the invisibles Plain and lonely It's funny how it's always out of reach I hear the wood pigeons and I call my father in and He sits and hears me sing But never wonders why Why do I call out in the night He found the photos set alight Everything about her Makes me want to smile I'll stay in bed and feed the day With my polite conversation, father Papering the cracks in others' silence But I still won't step aside I tried to make her want me I tried to play her politics But every step I took I had to swallow this That we are the invisibles Strange and lonely It's funny how it's always out of reach It's funny how it's always out of reach It's funny how the world is out of reach
  14. Flytipping6:41

    Letra

    We'll play on the road Flytipping careful as you go And we'll watch as the lorries Transport their precious loads With a bag in our hands Flytipping me and my patient man Just by the hard shoulder There's few who understand What is mine and what is yours? Do we own these things? What has it all been for? Flytipping on the road, of course What is yours and what is ours? Do we fool ourselves with all those pretty words? Flytipping on the road with her And I'll take you to the fortress As the paper drips blood for me, slow Under the trees Two hunters looking for ivory Discard their possessions Cast them to the breeze 'Cause the worms in the ground And the crows as they circle 'round God made these things to cling to For it haunts their playground What is mine and what is yours? Do we own these things? What has it all been for? Flytipping on the road, of course Shiny things that shine for us Should we shawl ourselves with all this pretty stuff? Flytipping feels like just enough And I'll take you to the fortress By the nettles by the roundabouts And I'll pick you wild roses In the tunnels by the underpass
