La joya del halcón

La banda es The Courteeners; su segundo disco es "The Falcon". Al escucharlo me quedó claro que el anterior (su debut, "St. Jude", 2008) es mucho más atractivo desde lo compositivo, y merece un post más adelante; pero ahora quiero rescatar una canción de éste trabajo lanzado en febrero de 2010.
Se llama "Cameo Brooch", y es una tremenda balada de estos pibes de Manchester, y a partir de ella estoy, de a poco, descubriendo el disco completo (por lo tanto, todo lo que digo sobre él puede cambiar y no significar nada mañana mismo).
La voz de Liam Fray y el modo en que pronuncia cada palabra; el piano simple, efectivo; y la explosión de la banda. Hay mucho de otros artistas aquí. Piezas bien ubicadas. Nada más. Y nada menos.
Quiero escuchar una y otra vez esto:


With your mother's cameo brooch
Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes
You watched her since you were small
You are the new belle of the ball
With your father's bruise on your arm
Telling me it's no cause for alarm
Stop pushing people away
You can't live your life this way
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
WIth your sister's love for her dad
You tell her it's the piano teacher that has been bad
You said you hadn't learnt your scales
She said you were going off the rails
But that was nothing to what you are now
And I'm not picking holes and I don't want to now
But people are getting scared
We can see your bones, and we were unprepared
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to
I will always be there for you
Wenever you need me, someone to talk to
