Riptide

Des que sóc a Alemanya hi ha una cançó que vaig escoltar un dia fred a la ràdio i que em va posar de tan bon humor que ja no em va importar la neu ni la foscor. Aquesta cançó em va tornant al cap una i altra vegada, així que vaig decidir buscar-la amb les poques frases que havia pogut entendre i retenir, per escoltar-la molt. I en trobar-la em va encantar la lletra sencera de Riptide i l'autor: Vance Joy, un jove australià de 25 anys.

El vídeo és fantàstic també, així que com m'he convertit en fan total d'aquest noi i de la seva cançó la deixo aquí, la comparteixo perquè estic segura que us farà somriure, cantar i ballar:

- La lletra:

I was scared of dentists and the dark,
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations,
Oh all my friends are turning green,
You're the magicians assistant in their dream.

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide,
taken away to the dark side,
I wanna be your left hand man.
I love you when you're singing that song and,
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong

There's this movie that I think you'll like,
this guy decides to quit his job and heads to New York City,
this cowboy's running from himself.
And she's been living on the highest shelf

Oh, and they come unstuck

Lady, running down to the riptide,
taken away to the dark side,
I wanna be your left hand man.
I love you when you're singing that song and,
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong

I just wanna, I just wanna know,
If you're gonna, if you're gonna stay,
I just gotta, I just gotta know,
I can't have it, I can't have it any other way
I swear she's destined for the screen,
Closest thing to Michelle Pfeiffer that you've ever seen, oh

Lady, running down to the riptide,
taken away to the dark side,
I wanna be your left hand man.
I love you when you're singing that song and,
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide,
taken away to the dark side,
I wanna be your left hand man.
I love you when you're singing that song and,
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong

Oh lady, running down to the riptide,
taken away to the dark side,
I wanna be your left hand man.
I love you when you're singing that song and,
I got a lump in my throat 'cause
you're gonna sing the words wrong
I got a lump in my throat 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong.
