Gli OneRepublic hanno rilasciato Kids
Il primo singolo reale estratto dal prossimo e quarto album in studio della band è uscito in anteprima ieri (11 agosto) su Spotify ed è disponibile da oggi su iTunes.
“Kids” è il vero primo singolo e non “Wherever I Go“, che è stato recentemente “declassato” a singolo promozionale da Ryan Tedder quando ha detto su Twitter: “Il nostro prossimo singolo (“Kids”) sarà la canzone per l’album vero e proprio”.
Confronto e significato…
Questa canzone è un trilione di volte meglio di “Wherever I Go” e suona già come un successo per gli OneRepublic!
La produzione di “Kids” è particolarmente splendida. E’ ottenuta da una miscela di sound attuali, ad elementi elettronici e rock, melodie diverse, rumori di percussione, e, naturalmente, vocals incredibili di Ryan Tedder.
Mi rifiuto di guardare indietro pensando che quei giorni erano migliori, canta Ryan dei OneRepublic nel nuovo singolo Kids, che parla di un uomo che pensa alle relazioni in età avanzata e dice che potrebbero essere altrettanto intense come quando si era più giovani. E’ tutta una questione di prendersi cura dell’emozione.
Testo di Kids dei OneRepublic:
Days when
(We’d fight, we’d fight ‘til I would give in…)
Yeah, perfect disasters
We were reaching, reaching for the rafters…
And on most of the days we were searching for ways
To get up and get out of the town that we were raised, yeah, Cause we were done
I remember, we were sleeping in cars
We were searching for OZ
We were burning cigars
With white plastics tips ‘til we saw the sun
And we said crazy things like
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they’re younger days
I don’t know what’s ‘round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we’ll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die!
You and me were kids
Swear that we’ll never die!
Lights down
And we drive and we’re drivin’ just to get out
Yeah, perfect disasters
Yeah we were swinging, swinging from the rafters
Hey, we were dancing in cars
We were looking for ours
We were naming the stars
After people we knew ‘til we had to go
And we were saying things like
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they’re younger days
I don’t know what’s ‘round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we’ll never change
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we’ll never die
Nights when we kept dancing
Changing all our plans and
Making every day a holiday
Feel the years start burning
City lights they’re turning
Something ‘bout this feels the same
Back when we were kids
Swore we would never die
You and me were kids
Swear that we’ll never die
I refuse to look back thinking days were better
Just because they’re younger days
I don’t know what’s ‘round the corner
Way I feel right now I swear we’ll never change
(You and me were kids…!)
