Depeche Mode e a beleza de “But not tonight”
Até onde é capaz de ir uma bela canção? Há aquelas que sobrevivem ao tempo, sendo repaginadas em vozes diferentes, ganhando novas roupagens instrumentais, atingindo e encantando diferentes gerações. Acredito que esse também seja o caso de uma das músicas mais lindas que o Depeche Mode já produziu: “But not Tonight“, do classudo “Black Celebration“, de 1986. Confira o clipe – e seja indulgente o bastante com efeitos e edição, ok?
Emocionou-se? Então dê uma olhada de perto na letra do Martin Gore, interpretada com o vigor de sempre de Dave Gahan:
Oh God, it’s raining
But I’m not complaining
It’s filling me up
With new lifeThe stars in the sky
Bring tears to my eyes
They’re lighting my way
TonightAnd I haven’t felt so alive
In yearsJust for a day
On a day like today
I’ll get away from this
Constant debaucheryThe wind in my hair
Makes me so aware
How good it is to live
TonightAnd I haven’t felt so alive
In yearsThe moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
But they’re not like tonightOh God, it’s raining
And I’m not containing
My pleasure at being
So wetHere on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone
TonightAnd I haven’t felt so alive
In years
But I’m not complaining
It’s filling me up
With new lifeThe stars in the sky
Bring tears to my eyes
They’re lighting my way
TonightAnd I haven’t felt so alive
In yearsJust for a day
On a day like today
I’ll get away from this
Constant debaucheryThe wind in my hair
Makes me so aware
How good it is to live
TonightAnd I haven’t felt so alive
In yearsThe moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
But they’re not like tonightOh God, it’s raining
And I’m not containing
My pleasure at being
So wetHere on my own
All on my own
How good it feels to be alone
TonightAnd I haven’t felt so alive
In years
The moon
Is shining in the sky
Reminding me
Of so many other nights
When my eyes have been so red
I’ve been mistaken for dead
But not tonight
