Katie Melua: The Flood

El año pasado ya recordé un tema de Katie Melua, se trataba de "Nine Million Bicycletes", y ahora tras la publicación de su cuarto disco titulado The House, no me puedo resistir a poner su video presentación.
De nuevo nos encontramos con la voz dulce, delicada, sugerente de Katie que te va transportando, casi como levitando hasta un climax místico. Toques más comerciales de los habituales en ella, se nota la mano en la producción de William Orbit -Madonna, Blur, Seal o Prince-, en "The Flood", ofreciéndonos una faceta más electrónica en la ruptura central de la canción.

Letra
Broken people get recycled
and I hope that I will.
Sometimes we're thrown off our pathways
what I thought was my way home
wasn't the place I know
I'm certain nothing's certain
what we own becomes our prison
my possessions will be gone
back to where they came from

Blame, no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again

See the rock that you hold onto
is it gonna save you
when the earth begins to crumble?
why d'you feel you have to hold on?
imagine if you let go

Blame, no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again

Wash away the weight that pulls you down
Ride the waves that free you from the dust/dusk?

don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them
know in your heart
that you can leave your prison

don't trust your mind
it's not always listening
turn on the lights
and feel the ancient rhythm

don't trust your eyes
its easy to believe them
know in your heart
that you can leave your prison

Blame, no one is to blame
as natural as the rain that falls
here comes the Flood again
