Οι Foals έχουν ανακοινώσει ότι θα κυκλοφορήσουν έναν νέο δίσκο μέσα στο 2022, για τον οποίο δεν ξέρουμε κάτι ακόμα (ημερομηνία κυκλοφορίας, τίτλο κλπ), έχουμε όμως το πρώτο δείγμα γραφής.
Ο λόγος γίνεται για το “Wake Me Up”, το lead single από το επερχόμενο album.
“There’s a journey that the band has gone on experimenting with different palettes of sound. This time there was a desire to take it back to more of the initial idea of the band where the rhythm, the grooves and the guitars are interlocking architecturally. We wanted to tap into the physicality of music. And we wanted it to feel good. With ‘Wake Me Up,’ I just wanted to write a song about transporting yourself to a better, idyllic situation. I think we all had that feeling of the last eighteen months being like a weird fever dream that felt surreal but very affecting. I think we all wished we could have woken up somewhere else at various points” - Yannis Philippakis
Από μας είναι κάπου ανάμεσα στο ναι και στο όχι. Λίγο μνιεχ δηλαδή.
I’m walking through a dream
I’m walking through the finest place I’ve ever seen.
Hey man won’t you wake me up?
Hey man won’t you wake me up?
I’m walking through the fire
defiant on the wire, burning up my desire
Hey man won't you come, come give me a gun?
help me blow the lights right out of the sun
so won't you tell me if I'm dreaming?
I need to know just where I stand.
it turns out my hands are useless
but maybe I'm a better man.
Wake Me Up!
I said Wake Me Up!
I'm dancing on the screens
I'm dancing in the mountains where I've always been.
Hey man won’t you wake me up?
Hey man won’t you wake me up?
I'm kicking down the doors
I'm climbing up the walls of the house that's yours
Hey man won't you come, come give me a gun?
help me blow the lights right out of the sun
so won't you tell me if I’m dreaming?
I need to know just where I stand.
it turns out my hands are useless
but maybe I'm a better man?
Wake Me Up!
Wake Me Up!
I said Wake Me Up!
I’m dancing on the serpents,
I'm dancing on the coals,
you deny your own expression,
you deny the things you know.
I'm living through the ages,
I'm dancing on the tiles,
won't commit to any handshake,
or believe a Duchenne smile.
I'm burning all my bridges,
I'm pulling up the ropes,
deleting all the codes,
no! I'm not that man you know.
you walk into a trap
then you walk into your youth,
yr living all that life
in a pair of dusty boots.
so won't you tell me if I'm dreaming?
I need to know just where i stand.
it turns out my hands are useless
but maybe I'm a better man?
Wake me up.
