Portadas con toques viajeros...

La portada de Postcards & Daydreaming del músico Dan Mangan demuestra que no es imposible hacer mucho con muy poco. Apenas unos trazos han bastado para dibujar unas hojas y un viajero dando lugar a la portada llena de elegancia.

Dan Mangan es un joven que no llega a los 30 años y es natural de Vancouver. Lo que me llama la atención de este músico es que, a diferencia de muchos de sus colegas cantautores, no se ancla en el Folk más intimo, y se atreve a probar canciones más animadas que fácilmente podrían clasificarse de Pop o Rock [ con el sufijo Indie delante, claro ]. Sold es una muestra de ello...

Feliz Semana Santa ¡Haced algo interesante!

Lyrics - Dan Mangan

I thought the suits had come for me
Found alternatives to honesty
Body and soul were bought and sold
Patented and out of reach

So I reach but it hurts, it kills, it screams,
And it fills my heart with chills
And I take my pills
But I'm still tired of sleeping with the light on

But if it keeps the hair out of my eyes
Pack it up and send it home
For just one stab at the good life
That's enough and I'm sold

So I gave up all my wretched thoughts
And left them out for the less fortunate
And at the gates I'll skip the queue
Life's not living 'less you're sure to make it through

But now it hurts, it kills, it screams,
And it fills my heart with chills
And I take my pills
But I'm still tired of sleeping with the light on

But if it keeps the hair out of my eyes
Pack it up and send it home
For just one stab at the good life
That's enough and I'm sold
Lord, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold

Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Go on pack me up, I'm sold
Pack me up, I'm sold

If it keeps the hair out of my eyes
Pack it up and send it home
For just one stab at the good life
That's enough and I'm sold
