Stay - U2

Quando o assunto é U2, não há muito o que se dizer..faltam palavras...digo que eles são simplesmente FODAS!

Poderia fazer aqui uma lista gigante com todas as músicas que me marcaram (e continuam marcando), mas resolvi hoje escolher uma em especial, pois além de achar a letra impecável, tem um sentido a mais para mim.

Ela foi gravada em 1993 e está no álbum Zooropa (um dos meus preferidos!).

Stay (Faraway, So Close)

Green light, Seven Eleven

You stop in

For a pack of cigarettes

You don't smoke

Don't even want to

Hey now check your change

Dressed up like a car crash

The wheels are turning

But you're upside down

You say when he hits you

You don't mind

Because when he hurts you

You feel alive

Is that what it is?

Red light, grey morning

You stumble

Out of a hole in the ground

A vampire or a victim

It depends on who's around

You used to stay in

To watch the adverts

You could lipsynch

To the talk shows

And if you look

You look through me

And when you talk

It's not to me

And when I touch you

You don't feel a thing

If I could stay

Then the night would give you up

Stay

Then the day would keep its trust

Stay and the night would be enough

Faraway, so close

Up with the static and the radio

With satellite television

You can go anywhere

Miami, New Orleans

London, Belfast and Berlin

And if you listen

I can't call

And if you jump

You just might fall

And if you shout

I'll only hear you

If I could stay

Then the night would give you up

Stay

Then the day would keep its trust

Stay

With the demons you drowned

Stay

With the spirits I found

Stay

And the night would be enough

Three o'clock in the morning

It's quiet and there's no one around

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel runs to ground

Just the bang and the clatter

As an angel hits to ground

Essa música tem um arranjo perfeito...e o clipe muito lindo...Depois de "sweetest thing" (que foi simplesmente o MELHOR pedido de desculpas já feito para alguém...para os desenformados de plantão...a letra dessa música, foi escrita pelo Bono para se reconciliar com a sua mulher), é a melhor música da banda! So Enjoy!
