R.E.M: Überlin

Ya ha salido al mercado el último disco de la banda R.E.M Su título "Collapse Into Now" y en él un conjunto de 12 canciones bajo la producción de Jacknife Lee -U2, Snow Patrol y The Hives- y las colaboraciones de Patti Smith, el guitarrista Lenny Kaye, Peaches, Eddie Vedder, además del cantante de The Hidden Cameras, Joel Gibb. El álbum tratará de ser fiel a sus seguidores, con canciones desgarradoras a medio tiempo que tanto éxito les ha reportado, pero tambien habrá hueco para un rock de más alto voltaje.

"ÜBerlin" es el videoclip con el que se inician la singladura del álbum en las calles. Una canción de caracter folk similar a "Out of time" de 1991 donde muestran su buen estado actual y sus ganas por seguir siendo los mismos que abrieron las puertas al rock alternativo y revolucionaron la música hace ya 30 años.

Letra

Hey now, take your pills and
Hey now, make your breakfast
Hey now, comb your hair and off to work
Crash land, no illusions, no collision, no intrusion
My imagination runs away

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me

I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night


Hey now, take the U-Bahn, five stops, change the station
Hey now, don’t forget that change will save you
Hey now, count a thousand-million people, that’s astounding
Chasing through the city with their stars on bright

I know, I know, I know what I am chasing
I know, I know, I know that this is changing me

I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day
And then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night

I don’t mind repeating, I am not complete
I have never been the gifted type
Hey, man, tell me something, are you off to somewhere?
Do you want to go with me tonight?

I know, I know, I know that this is changing
We walk the streets to feel the ground I’m chasing: ÜBerlin

I am flying on a star into a meteor tonight
I am flying on a star, star, star
I will make it through the day
And then the day and then the day becomes the night
I will make it through the night
