Beirut - Elephant Gun [MP3]

Zach Condon e seu Beirut está para lançar um novo EP no início do ano que vem. Enquanto isso, por aqui, recebi por esses dias pelo menos cinco e-mails me perguntando sobre o tema de abertura da nova mini-série da Globo, 'Capitu', adaptação do romance "Dom Casmurro" de Machado de Assis.

Pois bem, a canção chama-se "Elephant Gun", da banda americana Beirut, capitaneada pelo prodígio Zach Condon. A Beirut já lançou dois álbuns, Gulag Orkestar em 2006 e The Flying Club Cup em 2007. Acontece que entre um e outro, eles lançaram o EP Lon Gisland em 2007, que abre justamente com "Elephant Gun", aliás, uma belíssima canção.

Beirut: Elephant Gun (Letra)

If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night

And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide
