[CDG] Girls Names / The new life

Psychedelic Belfast natives GIRLS NAMES have released their new single through Tough Love Records, ahead of their almost- finished follow-up to 2011’s Dead To Me L.P. The hazy optimism of The New Life’s chord progression – which reveals itself amidst the endlessly recurrent cycle of three-note guitar phrases - oddly recalls Blur, whilst the incessant, almost monotonous repetition shows their more krautrock-y side, embedding the riffs firmly in the mind of the listener.

[Canzoni di ieri] Ash / A life less ordinary

 

 Ash - A life less ordinary (1997) 

I smoke myself into a haze in the afternoon 
Enveloped heart, and the air is cool 
Put on your dress, white Goddess 
And Settle in as the weather folds 
In the slow haze of the afternoon 
Swaying hips, made like a gun 
Blackest sails, the most beautiful 

Star.... 
In the world, in the air, on my tongue 
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun 

So.... 
Take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again 
So..... 
What is it worth?, I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? 
Only you know 

You were conceived in my heart, came like a dream 
To save me from my mortality 
Put on your dress, white Goddess 
And settle in as the weather folds 
Our lives will be entwined, even when I die 
You'll see me through 'till the end of time 
No earthly bride, the most beautiful 

Star.... 
In the world, in the air, on my tongue 
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun 

So.... 
Take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again 
So..... 
What is it worth?, I'll sell my soul, what is it worth? 
Only you know
