Têm em comum o Ian-Curtis sound alike, e duas músicas esplêndidas que imortalizam a cidade de Nova Iorque. Duas perspectivas diferentes das mesma cidade, duas vivências, duas projecções da interioridade numa cidade à qual se atribui um organicismo comovente. A cidade é um ser que vive, que está acordado, que nos apoia, e nos vê deambular sem destino pelas suas ruas. É um sítio sujo, lugar de perversão, mas pode ser também a solidão personificada que nos acolhe, quando a humanidade - viva de facto - não nos aquece.
Interpol, com NYC (Turn On the Bright Lights, 2002) apresentam o retrato da cidade frívola, a cidade de pecado, de perdição mas uma cidade humana, que não é necessariamnete o que fazem dela.
Elephant, com The Lunatic ( The Black Magic Show, 2006) por sua vez expõem a cidade que acompanha as aventuras dos que nela vivem.
Ambas lamentam o facto da cidade ser amortalhada pela noite que não só leva a luz como qualquer possibilidade de interacção com a mesma.
Duas canções para ler e ouvir com atenção, dois retratos vivos e anímicos de uma cidade que morre e renasce todos os dias - como tantas outras, sente (?) e faz sentir. Duas músicas o mesmo saudosismo.
NYC, Interpol (2002)
I had seven faces
I had seven faces
thought i knew which one to wear
I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
training myself not to care
the subway is a porno pavements they are a mess
i know you've supported me for a long time
somehow i'm not impressed
New York Cares
the subway is a porno pavements they are a mess
i know you've supported me for a long time
somehow i'm not impressed
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
Subway she is a porno and the pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow i'm not impressed
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
Subway she is a porno and the pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow i'm not impressed
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
New York Cares
New York Cares
(got to be some more change in my life)
It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
(got to be some more change in my life)
Oh, It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
Oh, It's up to me now turn on the bright lights
(got to be some more change in my life).
The Lunatic, Elefant (2006)
Manhattan are you up or down ?
The Lunatic, Elefant (2006)
Manhattan are you up or down ?
(I feel like dancing)
Manhattan are you still around
Manhattan are you still around
(I’m only asking)
The city cries itself to sleep
There’s no more traffic in the streets
The party is done
The party is done
The city sleeps tonight
The party is done
The party is done
Its time to say good night
I never thought you’d stay so long
The city cries itself to sleep
There’s no more traffic in the streets
The party is done
The party is done
The city sleeps tonight
The party is done
The party is done
Its time to say good night
I never thought you’d stay so long
(call me romantic)
You've entertained us, now you’re gone
I miss the way we use to laugh
I miss the smell of morning trucks
The party is done
The party is done
The city sleeps tonight
The party is done
The party is done
The party is done
Its time to say good night.
