there ain't no romance around there

De Sheffield, na Inglaterra saíram os meninos mais badalados do momento: os Arctic Monkeys. A demo da banda custou 250 libras e, segundo o grupo, eles conseguiram o máximo de lucro que alguém já teve a partir deste valor. No lançamento do single Five Minuts With Arctic Monkeys, a banda chegou a interroper a música When The Sun Goes Down porque as pessoas estavam cantando alto demais e aquilo foi muito bizarro para eles.

O álbum Whatever People Say I Am , That’s What I Am Not é simplesmente maravilhoso. Além da esplêndida canção já citada, o álbum traz as ótimas I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor e From The Ritz To The Rubble. Mas a que eu escolhi para postar hoje é de longe a minha preferida: A Certain Romance. A canção é gostosa de ouvir, boa de dançar e me deixa feliz.

Além do mais, eu concordo totalmente: não existe mais romance por aí.


A Certain Romance
Arctic Monkeys

Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there

And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Because their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes

To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah they might overstep the line
But I just cannot get angry in the same way
